Abstract

This utility model provides a sliding contact line structure and a sorting machine, belonging to the technical field of sorting equipment. The sliding contact line structure includes a base and conductive components. The base is provided with several sliding tracks, and a gap groove is provided between adjacent sliding tracks. Several fasteners are evenly and spaced along the gap grooves, fixing the base to an external structure. Each sliding track has a receiving groove along its length, and the conductive component is disposed within the receiving groove. Power is drawn from the conductive component through sliding friction between the carbon brush of the current collector and the conductive component. The sliding contact line structure requires only a single base, eliminating the need for multiple base sections to be fixed together with clamps. Fixing the entire base directly onto the base avoids gaps in the base, thus preventing wear caused by friction between the carbon brush of the current collector and the sliding contact line body, significantly reducing user operating costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sorting equipment technology, specifically relating to a sliding contact line structure and a sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a mobile power supply device, the sliding contact line is increasingly used in various fields with the development of society and the economy, and its application in logistics sorting equipment is also common. Currently, the sliding contact lines commonly used in logistics sorting equipment are generally composed of multiple sections spliced ​​together to form a cross-belt loop track shape. During assembly, clamps are needed to fix adjacent sections together. Because gaps exist at the joints of each section, the carbon brushes of the current collector slide and rub against the sliding contact line body during use. Prolonged friction between the carbon brushes and these gaps accelerates brush wear, and additional clamps are required for fixation, increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, the first objective of this utility model is to propose a sliding contact line structure. The technical problem to be solved is: how to reduce the wear of carbon brushes and reduce the cost of use.

[0004] This utility model solves the above problems through the following technical means:

[0005] A sliding contact line structure, comprising:

[0006] A base is provided with several sliding tracks, and a gap groove is provided between two adjacent sliding tracks. Several fasteners are evenly and spaced on the gap groove, and the fasteners are used to fix the base to an external structure.

[0007] The conductive element is provided with a receiving groove along the length of the sliding track, and the conductive element is disposed in the receiving groove. Power is obtained by sliding friction between the carbon brush of the current collector and the conductive element.

[0008] In the above-mentioned sliding contact line structure, the cross-section of the conductive element is C-shaped, the cross-section of the receiving groove is C-shaped, and the conductive element is embedded in the receiving groove.

[0009] In the above-mentioned sliding contact line structure, the receiving groove includes a recessed portion and rounded corner portions disposed on both sides of the recessed portion, and both sides of the conductive element have edging, which is adapted to the rounded corner portions.

[0010] In one of the above-mentioned sliding contact line structures, the base is a plastic profile.

[0011] In the aforementioned sliding contact line structure, the spacing groove is provided with a number of holes evenly and at intervals, and the fastener passes through the holes to fix the base to the external structure.

[0012] In the above-mentioned sliding contact line structure, the distance between two adjacent holes is 300mm, and the diameter of the holes is 4.5mm.

[0013] In the aforementioned sliding contact line structure, the fastener is a bolt, and the base is fixed to the external structure by the bolt.

[0014] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a sorting machine:

[0015] A sorting machine includes the aforementioned sliding contact line structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This sliding contact line structure requires only a single base, eliminating the need for multiple base sections to be fixed together with clamps.

[0030] Currently, the commonly used sliding contact lines in logistics sorting equipment are generally composed of multiple sections spliced ​​together to form a cross-belt loop track shape. During assembly, clamps are needed to secure adjacent sections. Because gaps exist at the joints, the carbon brushes of the current collector slide and rub against the contact line body during operation. Prolonged friction between the carbon brushes and these gaps accelerates brush wear and necessitates additional clamps, increasing operating costs. Therefore, this invention provides a sliding contact line structure and sorting machine to avoid excessive carbon brush wear, reduce clamp usage, and lower operating costs.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the sliding contact line structure includes a base 1 and a conductive element 2. The base 1 is provided with a plurality of sliding tracks 11, and a spacer groove 12 is provided between two adjacent sliding tracks 11. A plurality of fasteners 13 are evenly and spaced on the spacer groove 12, and the fasteners 13 are used to fix the base 1 to the external structure. The sliding track 11 is provided with a receiving groove 111 along its length direction, and the conductive element 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 111. Power is obtained by sliding friction between the carbon brush 3 of the current collector 4 and the conductive element 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of sliding tracks 11 are provided on the base 1. Preferably, the base 1 has three sliding tracks 11, corresponding to the live wire, ground wire, and neutral wire, respectively. By sliding and rubbing the carbon brush 3 of the current collector 4 on the mobile device against the conductive element 2 in the sliding track 11, power is provided to the electric roller and electrical components on the mobile device, enabling the mobile device to perform various actions, such as moving on the track, driving the conveyor belt to transport and sort goods, etc. The conductive element 2 is made of a metal strip with high conductivity. A spacer groove 12 is provided between two adjacent sliding tracks 11, and a plurality of fasteners are evenly and spaced on the spacer groove 12. 13. The base 1 is fixed to the external structure by the fasteners 13. If the external structure is sheet metal, the base 1 is fixed to the sheet metal by the fasteners 13 passing through the spacer groove 12. Since several fasteners 13 are evenly and spaced on the spacer groove 12, only one whole base 1 is needed. There is no need for multiple sections of base 1 to fix two adjacent sections of sliding contact line by the hanging clamp. Only the whole base 1 needs to be fixed on the base 1. This avoids gaps on the base 1, thereby avoiding the wear caused by the carbon brush 3 of the current collector 4 rubbing against the gap when sliding against the sliding contact line body. In this way, the user's usage cost is greatly reduced.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the conductive element 2 has a C-shaped cross-section, the receiving groove 111 has a C-shaped cross-section, and the conductive element 2 is embedded in the receiving groove 111.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the conductive element 2 and the cross-section of the receiving groove 111 are both C-shaped. The conductive element 2 is pressed into a C-shape by a high conductivity metal strip. The receiving groove 111 can be pressed and formed on the base 1. The conductive element 2 is embedded in the receiving groove 111 so that the entire conductive element 2 is located in the receiving groove 111, thus ensuring the installation and fixation of the conductive element 2.

[0036] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the receiving groove 111 includes a recessed portion 112 and rounded corner portions 113 disposed on both sides of the recessed portion 112. Both sides of the conductive component 2 have a rim 21, which is adapted to the rounded corner portions 113.

[0037] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 111 includes a recessed portion 112 and rounded corner portions 113 disposed on both sides of the recessed portion 112. Both sides of the conductive element 2 have a rim 21, which means that both sides of the conductive element 2 have rounded corners so that the rim 21 matches the rounded corner portion 113, allowing the conductive element 2 to be embedded in the receiving groove 111. Thus, when this sliding contact line structure is applied to a vertically installed scenario, the C-shaped conductive element 2 and the carbon brush 3 fit together. The conductive element 2 has a rim 21 structure, which prevents the drooping base 1 of the carbon brush 3 from contacting and rubbing. This avoids the current collector arm of the current collector 4 from drooping due to gravity, causing friction between the outer wall of the carbon brush 3 and the inside of the sliding contact line. It also avoids severe wear of the sliding contact line shell due to long-term use, increasing the risk of the carbon brush 3 falling off the track.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is a plastic profile.

[0039] In this embodiment, the base 1 is a plastic profile with good insulation properties. The base 1 can be integrally molded from plastic to form a sliding track 11, a spacer groove 12 and a receiving groove 111 structure.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the spacer groove 12 is provided with a number of holes 121 evenly and at intervals, and the fastener 13 passes through the holes 121 to fix the base 1 to the external structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of holes 121 are evenly and spaced on the spacer groove 12. The plurality of holes 121 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of fasteners 13. The base 1 is fixed to the external structure, such as to the sheet metal, by passing the fasteners 13 through the holes 121.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the distance between two adjacent holes 121 is 300mm, and the diameter of the hole 121 is 4.5mm.

[0043] In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent holes 121 is 300mm. That is, the base 1 is fixed with a fastener 13 every 300mm. In this way, the base 1 can be firmly fixed, effectively avoiding the base 1 from becoming loose and causing poor contact between the carbon brush 3 and the conductive part 2, thereby ensuring the normal power supply and operation of the mobile device.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the fastener 13 is a bolt, and the base 1 is fixed to the external structure by the bolt.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fastener 13 is a bolt. The bolt passes through the hole 121 and is then used with a nut to fix the base 1 to the external structure, such as to the sheet metal.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] This embodiment provides a sorting machine, including the sliding contact line structure described in Embodiment 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sorting machine uses the sliding contact line structure of Embodiment 1. The sliding contact line structure only requires a single base 1, without the need for multiple sections of base 1 to fix adjacent sections of the sliding contact line together with clamps. It is sufficient to fix the entire base 1 on the base 1, thus avoiding gaps on the base 1 and preventing wear caused by friction between the carbon brush 3 of the current collector 4 and the gap when they slide and rub against the sliding contact line body. This ensures that the sorting machine can operate normally by drawing power.
