Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying machinery, specifically a low-wear production line skid drive track. Background Technology
[0002] Skid drive tracks are key facilities in automated production lines used for chain and rack drives or for carrying and transporting skids and workpieces. They are widely used in automobile manufacturing, logistics sorting, food processing and other fields to improve production efficiency and automation levels.
[0003] The production line uses a sled as a carrier. The sled moves by friction through a continuously rotating rubber friction belt on the track surface, realizing automated workpiece conveying. After operation, the empty sled returns to the starting point through the return system, forming a circular conveying.
[0004] Existing sled drive rails suffer from high friction during transport, which leads to a decrease in guiding accuracy after prolonged use and affects normal operation of the conveyor. Therefore, a low-wear sled drive rail for production lines is proposed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A low-wear production line sled transmission track, comprising a slide rail; a slide block slidably connected to the top of the slide rail; multiple sets of first fixed seats fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide block; a motor fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixed seat; a first rubber wheel rotatably connected to the middle of the first fixed seat; the first rubber wheel slidably connected to the top of the slide rail; a first support frame fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixed seat; a damping spring rod fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support frame; a second rubber wheel fixedly connected to the top of the damping spring rod; the second rubber wheel slidably connected to the side wall of the slide rail; by the first rubber wheel moving at the top of the slide rail, the second rubber wheel contacts and rubs against the side wall of the slide rail and rotates, and the rotational friction replaces the sliding friction, which can reduce wear during transmission, reduce the wear of the track and sled components, and extend the overall service life of the production line sled transmission track. The damping spring rods on both sides of the slide block simultaneously apply thrust, keeping the slide block sliding in the middle of the slide rail. The double-sided thrust can provide precise guidance for workpiece transmission, reduce the deviation of the sled during transmission, and improve transmission stability and reliability.
[0007] Preferably, a second fixed seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide; the second fixed seat is located in the middle of the slide; a shock-absorbing spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second fixed seat; a shock-absorbing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the shock-absorbing spring; when the slide approaches the end of the track, the shock-absorbing plate contacts the side wall of the track, and the shock-absorbing spring contracts to generate a buffering force, which can slow down the moving speed of the slide, increase the stability of the slide when it stops, and reduce the slippage of the workpiece caused by inertial movement.
[0008] Preferably, a pair of second support frames are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide block; the second support frames are positioned close to the first support frame; a cleaning scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second support frame; a cleaning block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second support frame; the second support frame and the cleaning block are correspondingly arranged; through the cleaning scraper at the bottom of the slide block, residual contaminants on the slide surface can be continuously cleaned during the movement of the slide block, reducing the accumulation of contaminants on the slide surface, which are then pressed and adhered to the slide surface by the first and second rubber rollers, increasing the smoothness of the slide block movement, keeping the slide surface clean, and reducing the resistance of the slide block movement.
[0009] Preferably, a placement platform is rotatably connected to the top of the slide; a pair of sockets are fixedly connected to the side wall of the placement platform; the sockets are located in the middle of the placement platform; a pin is slidably connected to the middle of the socket; the pin is connected to the top of the slide; when the workpiece is placed on the placement platform, the placement platform can be pushed to rotate at the top of the slide, thereby realizing the angle adjustment during the workpiece transfer process. The pin is inserted into the sliding connection structure in the middle of the socket to lock the rotation position of the placement platform, ensuring the stability of the workpiece's posture during the transfer process.
[0010] Preferably, multiple sets of fixing rods are fixed to the top of the placement platform; the fixing rods are arranged around the perimeter of the placement platform; a sponge pad is fixed to the top of the fixing rod; by adjusting the height of the multiple sets of fixing rods, the workpiece can be removed from the bottom after being conveyed to the designated position, reducing the inconvenience of unloading the workpiece; the sponge pad can increase the friction of the workpiece during placement and reduce slippage during conveying.
[0011] Preferably, a piston rod is fixed to the top of the placement platform; the piston rod is located in the middle of the placement platform; the piston rod allows the workpiece to be placed slowly when placed on top of the sponge pad, reducing vibration during placement and increasing the integrity of the workpiece during transport.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The low-wear production line sled transmission track of this utility model uses a first rubber roller that moves at the top of the slide rail, and a second rubber roller that contacts and rubs against the side wall of the slide rail and rotates. Rotational friction replaces sliding friction, which can reduce wear during transmission, reduce wear on the track and sled components, and extend the overall service life of the production line sled transmission track. The damping spring rods on both sides of the slide block apply thrust at the same time, keeping the slide block sliding in the middle of the slide rail. The thrust on both sides can provide precise guidance for workpiece transmission, reduce the deviation of the sled during transmission, and improve transmission stability and reliability.
[0014] 2. The low-wear production line sled transmission track described in this utility model can continuously clean residual contaminants on the slide surface during the movement of the slide by using a cleaning scraper at the bottom of the slide. This reduces the accumulation of contaminants on the slide surface, which are then pressed and adhered to the slide surface by the first and second rubber rollers. This increases the smoothness of the slide movement, keeps the slide surface clean, and reduces the resistance to the movement of the slide. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a low-wear production line skid transmission track includes a slide rail 1; a slide seat 11 is slidably connected to the top of the slide rail 1; multiple sets of first fixed seats 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide seat 11; a motor 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixed seat 12; a first rubber wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first fixed seat 12; the first rubber wheel 14 is slidably connected to the top of the slide rail 1; a first support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixed seat 12; a damping spring rod 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first support frame 15; a second rubber wheel 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the damping spring rod 16; the second rubber wheel 17 is slidably connected to the side wall of the slide rail 1; during operation, the workpiece to be transferred is placed above the slide seat 11, and the multiple sets of motors 13 are started. The motors 13 start and drive the multiple sets of first rubber wheels 14 in the middle of the first fixed seat 12 to rotate. The first rubber wheels 14 rotate and move at the top of the slide rail 1, so that the slide seat 11 slides above the slide rail 1 as a whole. During operation, the damping spring rod 16 on the side of the first support frame 15 continuously pushes the support of the second rubber roller 17, causing the second rubber roller 17 to contact and rub against the side wall of the slide rail 1. The second rubber roller 17 rotates due to friction with the side wall of the slide rail 1. The damping spring rods 16 on both sides of the slide block 11 simultaneously apply a pushing force, which keeps the slide block 11 sliding in the middle of the slide rail 1. After the workpiece is conveyed to the designated position, the motor 13 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the first rubber roller 14 to rotate, causing the slide block 11 to return. By moving the first rubber roller 14 at the top of the slide rail 1 and the second rubber roller 17 contacting and rubbing against the side wall of the slide rail 1 and rotating, the rotational friction replaces the sliding friction, which can reduce wear during the transmission process, reduce the wear of the track and skid components, and extend the overall service life of the production line skid transmission track. The damping spring rods 16 on both sides of the slide block 11 simultaneously apply a pushing force, keeping the slide block 11 sliding in the middle of the slide rail 1. The double-sided pushing force can provide precise guidance for workpiece transmission, reduce skid deviation during transmission, and improve transmission stability and reliability.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a second fixed seat 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide 11; the second fixed seat 2 is located in the middle of the slide 11; a shock-absorbing spring 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second fixed seat 2; a shock-absorbing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the shock-absorbing spring 21; during operation, when the slide 11 is near the end position of the top of the slide rail 1, the slide 11 stops moving above the first fixed seat 12. At this time, the shock-absorbing plate 22 contacts the side wall of the slide rail 1, and the shock-absorbing spring 21 contracts to drive the slide 11 to buffer; when the slide 11 is close to the end of the track, the shock-absorbing plate 22 contacts the side wall of the slide rail 1, and the shock-absorbing spring 21 contracts to generate a buffering force, which can slow down the moving speed of the slide 11, increase the stability of the slide 11 when it stops, and reduce the sliding of the workpiece caused by inertial movement.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a pair of second support frames 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide block 11; the second support frames 3 are located on the side close to the first support frame 15; a cleaning scraper 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second support frame 3; a cleaning block 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second support frame 3; the second support frame 3 and the cleaning block 32 are correspondingly arranged; during operation, when the slide block 11 moves at the top of the slide track 1, the pair of cleaning scrapers 31 at the bottom of the slide block 11 can continuously contact the slide block 11 to remove the contaminants remaining above the slide track 1, and the cleaning block 32 can further rub against the surface of the slide track 1 to clean the surface of the slide block 11; through the cleaning scraper 31 at the bottom of the slide block 11, the residual contaminants on the surface of the slide track 1 can be continuously cleaned during the movement of the slide block 11, reducing the accumulation of contaminants on the surface of the slide track 1, which are then crushed and adhered to the surface of the slide track 1 by the first rubber roller 14 and the second rubber roller 17, increasing the smoothness of the movement of the slide block 11, keeping the surface of the slide track 1 clean, and reducing the resistance to the movement of the slide block 11.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a placement platform 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the slide 11; a pair of sockets 41 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the placement platform 4; the sockets 41 are located in the middle of the placement platform 4; a pin 42 is slidably connected to the middle of the sockets 41; the pin 42 is connected to the top of the slide 11; during operation, when the workpiece is placed on the placement platform 4, the placement platform 4 can be pushed to rotate above the slide 11, thus rotating the position of the workpiece. After inserting the pin 42 into the socket 41, the placement platform 4 can be fixed; by pushing the placement platform 4 to rotate at the top of the slide 11 when the workpiece is placed on the placement platform 4, the angle of the workpiece can be adjusted during the transmission process. The sliding connection structure in the middle of the socket 41 can lock the rotation position of the placement platform 4, ensuring the stability of the workpiece's posture during transmission.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, multiple sets of fixing rods 5 are fixed to the top of the placement platform 4; the fixing rods 5 are arranged around the placement platform 4; a sponge pad 51 is fixed to the top of the fixing rod 5; during operation, the workpiece is placed on top of the multiple sets of fixing rods 5, and the sponge pad 51 contacts the bottom of the workpiece, which can increase the friction when the workpiece is placed. When the slide 11 moves, the workpiece is kept above the sponge pad 51; the height setting of the multiple sets of fixing rods 5 allows the workpiece to be removed from the bottom of the workpiece after it is conveyed to the designated position, reducing the convenience of unloading the workpiece. The sponge pad 51 can increase the friction when the workpiece is placed and reduce the slippage during conveying.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a piston rod 6 is fixed to the top of the placement platform 4; the piston rod 6 is located in the middle of the placement platform 4; during operation, when the workpiece is placed on the sponge pad 51, the piston rod 6 can contact the middle of the workpiece, so that when the workpiece is on the sponge pad 51, the piston rod 6 contacts the bottom of the workpiece, and the weight of the workpiece itself presses the piston rod 6 down and retracts; the piston rod 6 allows the workpiece to be placed slowly when placed on the top of the sponge pad 51, reducing the vibration generated during placement and increasing the integrity of the workpiece during conveying.
[0030] Working principle: The workpiece to be transferred is placed above the slide block 11. Multiple motors 13 are started, driving multiple sets of first rubber rollers 14 in the middle of the first fixed seat 12 to rotate. The first rubber rollers 14 rotate and move at the top of the slide rail 1, causing the slide block 11 to slide above the slide rail 1. When the slide block 11 moves, the damping spring rods 16 on the side of the first support frame 15 continuously push the support of the second rubber roller 17, causing the second rubber roller 17 to contact and rub against the side wall of the slide rail 1. The second rubber roller 17 rotates due to friction with the side wall of the slide rail 1. The damping spring rods 16 on both sides of the slide block 11 simultaneously apply a pushing force, which can keep the slide block 11 sliding in the middle of the slide rail 1. After the workpiece is transferred to the designated position, the motor 13 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the first rubber rollers 14 to rotate, causing the slide block 11 to return. When the slide block 11 is near the end position of the top of the slide rail 1, the slide block 11 stops moving above the first fixed seat 12. At this time, the shock absorber 22... Contacting the side wall of slide 1, the shock-absorbing spring 21 contracts and drives the slide 11 to buffer. When the slide 11 moves at the top of slide 1, a pair of cleaning scrapers 31 at the bottom of slide 11 continue to contact slide 11 to remove contaminants remaining above slide 1. The cleaning block 32 can further rub against the surface of slide 1 to clean the surface of slide 11. When the transported workpiece is placed above the placement table 4, the placement table 4 can be pushed to rotate above slide 11 to rotate the position of the workpiece. After inserting the pin 42 into the socket 41, the placement table 4 can be fixed. The workpiece is placed above multiple sets of fixing rods 5. The sponge pad 51 contacts the bottom of the workpiece to increase the friction when the workpiece is placed. When slide 11 moves, the workpiece is kept above the sponge pad 51. When the workpiece is placed above the sponge pad 51, the piston rod 6 can contact the middle position of the workpiece, so that when the workpiece is above the sponge pad 51, the piston rod 6 contacts the bottom of the workpiece. The weight of the workpiece itself will press down and retract the piston rod 6.
[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
