Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting robot technology, specifically a ground track for a sorting robot. Background Technology
[0002] Sorting robots are intelligent industrial equipment widely used in logistics, express delivery, manufacturing and other fields. Through advanced sensors, vision systems and automation technology, they can quickly sort and transport goods. In order to improve the sorting efficiency of sorting robots and expand their working range, sorting robots are usually mounted on ground rails via slides so that they can move on the ground rails.
[0003] Currently, existing floor rails are quite heavy because they are usually made of metal. During installation, a crane is typically used to move the rails to the installation area, and then bolts are used to fix the rails to the ground, securing adjacent rails together. However, during the lifting process, the rails are prone to swaying, making it difficult to align them with adjacent rails (the ends of adjacent rails may be misaligned or have large gaps). Usually, after the crane moves the rails to the installation area, multiple workers work together to align the ends of adjacent rails. However, because the rails are heavy, even with multiple workers, it is difficult to align the ends of adjacent rails in a short time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ground track for a sorting robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A sorting robot ground rail includes a ground rail body, the ground rail body has a U-shaped structure, the ground rail body is provided with a lifting mechanism for lifting the ground rail body inside, and a dust cleaning mechanism is provided on both sides of the ground rail body for cleaning the dust of the linear slide rail installed on the ground rail body.
[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a movable plate that slides inside the ground rail body. At each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the movable plate, there is a connecting block that slides through the ground rail body. The bottom end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to a caster wheel.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner bottom surface of the ground rail body is fixedly connected to both ends of a support block, and the inner bottom surface of the ground rail body is rotatably connected to two symmetrical screws that penetrate and engage with the moving plate. The bottom end of the outer wall of the screw is fixedly connected to a worm gear, and the side of the support block is rotatably connected to a worm that meshes with the worm gear at the corresponding position.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the two worm gears, and a bevel gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod. A round rod is rotatably inserted through the side of the ground rail body, and a bevel gear two that meshes with the bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the round rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner sides of the ground rail body are provided with limit grooves at both ends, and the side of the moving plate is fixedly connected with a limit block that is slidably connected to the limit groove at the corresponding position.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the ground rail body has a through hole corresponding to the connecting block.
[0012] Furthermore, the dust removal mechanism includes two symmetrical housings fixedly connected to the ground rail body. The two housings at opposite positions are respectively located on both sides of the linear guide rail at corresponding positions. Multiple connecting pipes penetrating the ground rail body are fixedly connected between the two housings at opposite positions. Multiple nozzles are fixedly connected at equal intervals on opposite sides of the two ground rail bodies at opposite positions.
[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the housing are fixed with insertion pipes.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By moving the movable plate down to contact the omnidirectional wheels with the ground and lifting the ground rail body off the ground, the workers can move the ground rail body through the omnidirectional wheels, making it easy for the workers to quickly align two adjacent ground rail bodies, thereby realizing the rapid installation of multiple ground rail bodies.
[0016] 2. Connect two adjacent connectors together using connectors. Then, connect the connectors at both ends of the multiple installed floor rail bodies using pipes and tee pipes. Next, inflate the multiple housings with an air pump. The inflated gas is then sprayed out through nozzles. The sprayed gas can clean the dust adhering to the linear guide rails on the floor rail bodies, reducing the friction between the slide table and the linear guide rail caused by dust, thus extending the service life of the slide table and the linear guide rails.

[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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a ground rail for a sorting robot includes a ground rail body 1, which has a U-shaped structure. The ground rail body 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism 2 for lifting the ground rail body 1. Both sides of the ground rail body 1 are provided with a dust cleaning mechanism 3 for cleaning the linear slide rail installed on the ground rail body 1. The lifting mechanism 2 includes a movable plate 21 that slides inside the ground rail body 1. The four corners of the bottom surface of the movable plate 21 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 22 that slide through the ground rail body 1. The bottom end of the connecting blocks 22 is fixedly connected with casters 23.
[0024] Specifically, firstly, a crane is used to move multiple ground rail bodies 1 sequentially to the installation area and arrange them in a row. Then, the first ground rail body 1 is fixed to the ground with bolts. When it is necessary to connect the second ground rail body 1 to the first ground rail body 1, the movable plate 21 inside the second ground rail body 1 can be lowered, causing the four casters 23 to extend from the ground rail body 1 and contact the ground, thus lifting the ground rail body 1 off the ground. At this time, the worker can push the second ground rail body 1 so that its end is aligned with the end of the first ground rail body 1. Then, by moving the movable plate 21 inside the second ground rail body 1... 1. Move upwards to restore the original position. At this time, the caster 23 is detached from the ground, while the bottom surface of the ground rail body 1 is in contact with the ground. Then, the two ground rail bodies 1 are fixed together with bolts. In this way, multiple ground rail bodies 1 can be fixed together in sequence. Then, the adjacent dust removal mechanisms 3 are connected together through the joint. When the moving plate 21 is moved downwards, the caster 23 contacts the ground and the ground rail body 1 is lifted and detached from the ground. At this time, the workers can move the ground rail body 1 through the caster 23, which makes it easy for the workers to quickly align the two adjacent ground rail bodies 1, thereby realizing the rapid installation of multiple ground rail bodies 1.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, support blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner bottom surface of the ground rail body 1. Two symmetrical screws 24, which are screwed through and engaged with the moving plate 21, are rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the ground rail body 1. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the screw 24. A worm 25, which meshes with the worm gear at the corresponding position, is rotatably connected to the side of the support block 11. A connecting rod 26 is fixedly connected between the two worms 25. A bevel gear 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 26. A round rod 28 is rotatably connected to the side of the ground rail body 1. A bevel gear 29, which meshes with the bevel gear 27, is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the round rod 28. Limiting grooves 12 are opened at both ends of the two opposite sides inside the ground rail body 1. A limiting block 211, which is slidably connected to the limiting groove 12 at the corresponding position, is fixedly connected to the side of the moving plate 21. A through hole 13 is opened through the inner bottom surface of the ground rail body 1 at the corresponding connecting block 22.
[0027] In this embodiment, the operator can use a tool to make the round rod 28 drive the bevel gear 29 to rotate. The rotating bevel gear 29 can cause the bevel gear 27 to drive the connecting rod 26 and the two worm gears 25 to rotate. The rotating worm gears 25 can cause the worm wheel and screw 24 at the corresponding position to rotate. The screw 24 is screwed through and engaged with the moving plate 21. Therefore, the two screws 24 in the same ground rail body 1 can make the moving plate 21 move within the ground rail body 1 so that the caster wheel 23 can extend from or retract into the ground rail body 1.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the dust removal mechanism 3 includes two symmetrical housings 31 fixedly connected to the ground rail body 1. The two housings 31 at opposite positions are respectively located on both sides of the linear guide rail at corresponding positions. Multiple connecting pipes 32 that penetrate the ground rail body 1 are fixedly connected between the two housings 31 at opposite positions. Multiple nozzles 33 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the opposite side of the two ground rail bodies 1 at opposite positions. Insertion pipes 34 are fixedly connected through both ends of the housings 31.
[0030] In this embodiment, after multiple rail bodies 1 are installed in sequence, two adjacent insertion pipes 34 are connected together by connectors. Then, the insertion pipes 34 at both ends of the installed multiple rail bodies 1 are connected by the cooperation of pipes and tee pipes. Then, air is pumped into multiple housings 31 by an air pump. The injected gas is sprayed out through nozzles 33. The sprayed gas can clean the dust on the linear slide rails attached to the rail bodies 1, which can reduce the friction between the slide table and the linear slide rail caused by the presence of dust, and make the service life of the slide table and the linear slide rail longer.
