[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0037] In traditional guide rail transportation methods, due to the lack of dedicated positioning and protective clamps, the guide rails are inevitably subjected to continuous vibration and bumps during transportation. This unrestrained transportation condition easily leads to structural deformation and surface damage of the guide rails, which not only directly affects the assembly accuracy of the guide rails but also significantly shortens their service life.

[0038] An embodiment of this utility model provides a guide rail packaging clamp 100, comprising:

[0039] The system includes multiple carrier components 10, a connecting structure 20, a cover plate 30, and a stop 40. Each carrier component 10 has a receiving groove 110 for accommodating a guide rail to be transported. The multiple carrier components 10 are arranged sequentially, such that the receiving grooves 110 of the multiple carrier components 10 are connected sequentially. The connecting structure 20 is used to fix the multiple carrier components 10 sequentially. The cover plate 30 is closably disposed on the carrier component 10 for opening or closing the receiving groove 110. The stop 40 is disposed at the end of the carrier component 10 for restricting the movement of the guide rail to be transported along the length direction of the multiple carrier components 10.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the guide rail to be transported is a U-shaped guide rail, which has two identical short sides. The guide rail packaging clamp 100 has four carrier members 10 arranged sequentially along its length, each carrier member 10 having a receiving groove 110 for accommodating the U-shaped guide rail. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the number of carrier members 10 can be two, three, five, or more, depending on the length of the U-shaped guide rail, as long as their straightness meets the requirements for the straightness of the U-shaped guide rail. The specific number of carrier members 10 is not limited.

[0041] Specifically, one short side of the U-shaped guide rail contacts the bottom of the receiving groove 110, and the cover plate 30 is closably mounted on the carrier 10 via the connecting structure 20. The height of the U-shaped guide rail is the same as the depth of the receiving groove 110, so that when the cover plate 30 is closed, it can contact the other short side of the U-shaped guide rail, thereby fixing the U-shaped guide rail vertically. On the carrier 10 at both ends of the guide rail packaging clamp 100, two stops 40 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the ends respectively. The stops 40 contact the end portion of the U-shaped guide rail. Since the stops 40 are fixed to the carrier 10, they can restrict the movement of the U-shaped guide rail along the length direction of the carrier 10, ensuring stability during transportation.

[0042] Optionally, the stop 40 includes a first stop 410. One end of the carrier 10 located at the head end of the guide rail packaging fixture 100 is provided with a first mounting area 130. The first stop 410 is embedded in the first mounting area 130 and is detachably connected to one end of the carrier 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 The first stop 410 is a stop plate with a threaded hole. The first mounting area 130 is provided at one end of the carrier 10 located at the head end of the guide rail packaging fixture 100. The first mounting area 130 is in the shape of a stepped platform. The stepped platform is provided with threaded holes corresponding to the positions of the threaded holes of the stop plate. The stop plate is embedded in the stepped platform and is detachably connected to the carrier 10 by bolts.

[0044] Optionally, the stop 40 includes a second stop 420 and a third stop 430. The second stop 420 is disposed in the receiving groove 110 at one end of the carrier 10 located at the tail end of the guide rail packaging clamp 100, and is used for abutting and fixing the guide rail to be transported. The second stop 420 and the third stop 430 are fixedly connected, and the third stop 430 is fixedly disposed on one end of the carrier 10 located at the tail end of the guide rail packaging clamp 100.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the movement of the U-shaped guide rail along the length of the carrier 10 is restricted by setting a first stop 410 at the front end and a second stop 420 and a third stop 430 at the rear end.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the first stop 410 can be used at both ends of the guide rail packaging clamp 100, or a combination of the second stop 420 and the third stop 430 can be used to restrict the movement of the U-shaped guide rail along the length of the bearing member 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The second stop 420 is a fixing pin, and the third stop 430 is a stop plate with a threaded hole. This stop plate can also be detachably fixed to one end of the carrier 10 located at the tail end of the guide rail packaging fixture 100 through its threaded hole, facilitating flexible replacement according to transportation needs. The fixing pin partially matches the receiving groove 110; that is, except for the top surface of the fixing pin, its three circumferential sides are in contact with the corresponding inner wall of the receiving groove 110 of the carrier 10. This three-sided contact constraint structure effectively restricts the degree of freedom of the fixing pin within the groove, preventing displacement or shaking, thereby ensuring accurate positioning and reliable fixing of the fixing pin.

[0048] In practical applications, different specifications of fixing pins can be adapted to the actual length of the U-shaped guide rail to achieve stable fixing of guide rails of different lengths. The length of the fixing pin is adjustable or it is available in various sizes, thereby ensuring the fitting accuracy and fixing reliability with the U-shaped guide rail.

[0049] Among them, reference Figure 4 The bottom of the third stop 430 is provided with a groove, which cooperates with the top area of ​​the second stop 420 to reliably position the second stop 420.

[0050] Optionally, a second mounting area 150 is provided at the end of the carrier 10 located at the end of the guide rail packaging clamp 100, a third stop 430 is embedded in the second mounting area 150, and the second stop 420 is located below the third stop 430.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the fixed connection between the second stop 420 and the third stop 430, the second stop 420 is located directly below the third stop 430.

[0052] In practical applications, the first stop 410 and the third stop 430 have the same structure, with identical thickness and dimensions. The difference lies in that the third stop 430 has an additional threaded hole for connecting with the second stop 420, while the first stop 410 does not have this threaded hole. This design ensures the versatility of the stop 40 while enabling detachable assembly of the second stop 420 and the third stop 430, improving the assembly flexibility and modularity of the fixture.

[0053] Optionally, the second stop 420 has an abutment portion 4201 and a mounting portion 4203. The abutment portion 4201 is in the shape of a four-sided pyramid and is used to abut against the guide rail to be transported. The mounting portion 4203 is fixedly connected to the third stop 430.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 The second stop 420 includes an abutment portion 4201 and a mounting portion 4203. The abutment portion 4201 is in the shape of a four-sided pyramid, used to form a stable contact with the end of the guide rail to be transported. The threaded hole on the mounting portion 4203 mates with the threaded hole of the third stop 430, and is fixedly connected to the third stop 430 by bolts. The abutment portion 4201 with this four-sided pyramid structure can effectively disperse contact stress, improve the stability of the guide rail, and facilitate rapid positioning and installation during transportation.

[0055] Optionally, the support member 10 has a protrusion 120 on the side away from the cover plate 30, and the connecting structure 20 is a groove 210. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 210 matches the protrusion 120, and the protrusion 120 and the groove 210 are detachably locked.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 The support member 10 has a protrusion 120 on the side away from the cover plate 30, which mates with the slide groove 210. The cross-sectional shape of the slide groove 210 matches the protrusion 120, allowing the protrusion 120 to slide along the slide groove 210 and achieve detachable locking. This mating structure facilitates quick assembly and positioning while ensuring a stable connection.

[0057] A locking mechanism is provided between the protrusion 120 and the slide 210, which can be reliably fixed by mechanical buckle or fastener.

[0058] Optionally, there may be multiple chutes 210 for connecting multiple adjacent carriers 10.

[0059] In this embodiment, there are three slides 210 to connect four support members 10, and the length of each slide 210 and each support member 10 is the same. This multi-slide design not only improves assembly efficiency but also adapts to the transportation needs of guide rails of different specifications, enhancing the versatility and expandability of the fixture.

[0060] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The guide rail packaging fixture 100 also includes a hinge assembly 50. One end of the cover plate 30 has a notch 310 that mates with the hinge assembly 50. The hinge assembly 50 is connected to both the carrier 10 and the cover plate 30 to allow the cover plate 30 to rotate relative to the carrier 10 to open or close the receiving slot 110.

[0061] In practical applications, the pivot of the hinge assembly 50 and the notch 310 of the cover plate 30 adopt a transition fit to ensure smooth rotation while maintaining structural stability. When the cover plate 30 is closed, its inner surface is completely in contact with the upper surface of the U-shaped guide rail, forming a reliable limit. The hinge assembly 50 is made of stainless steel, which has corrosion resistance and is suitable for various transportation environments.

[0062] Optionally, the hinge assembly 50 includes a first hinge 510, a second hinge 520, and a connecting shaft 530. The first hinge 510 is fixedly connected to a plurality of carrier members 10. The second hinge 520 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the notch 310 of the cover plate 30. The connecting shaft 530 passes through the first hinge 510, and its two ends are respectively connected to the inner wall of the notch 310 of the cover plate 30 and the second hinge 520.

[0063] Reference Figure 7 This structure allows the cover plate 30 to rotate relative to the support member 10 around the connecting shaft 530, enabling reliable opening and closing of the receiving groove 110. The connecting shaft 530 and each mating component employ a clearance fit to ensure rotational flexibility while maintaining structural stability. The first hinge 510 is bolted to the support member 10, and the second hinge 520 is bolted to the cover plate 30, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0064] Optionally, the ends of the plurality of carriers 10 are provided with mounting cavities 140 for facilitating the insertion or removal of the U-shaped guide rail from the receiving groove 110.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 Each of the multiple carrier components 10 has an installation cavity 140 at its end, which communicates with the receiving groove 110 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the guide rail to be transported. The opening size of the installation cavity 140 is larger than the width of the receiving groove 110, allowing the U-shaped guide rail to be directly loaded or removed laterally, significantly improving loading and unloading efficiency. This design is particularly suitable for batch loading and unloading operations, improving operational convenience while ensuring fixed reliability.

[0066] The working principle of the guide rail packaging clamp 100 for securing the guide rail to be transported is as follows:

[0067] First, based on the length specifications of the guide rail to be transported, N carrier components 10 are selected, and the carrier components 10 are connected in series and fixedly connected through (N-1) sliding grooves 210. Then, the hinge assembly 50 is assembled to the designated positions of the N carrier components 10, and the cover plate 30 is opened to the installation position. Subsequently, the guide rail to be transported is placed smoothly in the receiving groove 110 of the carrier component 10, ensuring that the guide rail is in complete contact with the bottom of the groove, and the first stop 410 is precisely installed in the first installation area 130 of the carrier component 10. The next step is to assemble and fix the second stop 420 and the third stop 430: the second stop 420 is placed into the receiving groove 110, so that it is in close contact with the end face of the guide rail to be transported. In the second installation area 150, the third stop 430 is fixed through and fixed to the second stop 420 with bolts, and the third stop 430 is fixed to the carrier component 10, completing the rigid connection of the second stop 420, the third stop 430 and the carrier component 10. Finally, close and lock the cover plate 30 to the locked position to ensure that the entire clamping system forms a stable closed structure and to reliably fix the guide rail to be transported.

[0068] During the transport of the guide rail, the load-bearing component 10 and the cover plate 30 work together to fix the circumference of the guide rail to be transported. Stops 40 are respectively set at both ends of the guide rail packaging clamp 100 to achieve precise fixation of the guide rail along its length, preventing displacement during transport. The guide rail packaging clamp 100 adopts a rigid positioning method, which can ensure the straightness of the guide rail to be transported and achieve zero-damage transport of the precision guide rail.

[0069] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
