Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heliostat technology, specifically to a sliding guide rail for a heliostat conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] As the global energy landscape shifts towards green and low-carbon energy, tower-type concentrated solar power (CSP) projects, as a key direction for new energy sources, generate electricity through the reflection of solar thermal energy by heliostat arrays. However, heliostats require large-scale mass production in mirror factories. In the heliostat production line of these factories, the conveyor lines undertake critical tasks such as component transport and assembly, and their stable operation directly affects the production capacity and quality of heliostats.

[0003] The existing heliostat transmission line has obvious defects: the chain is in direct contact with the line frame during operation, and long-term friction causes irreversible wear of the frame, which is prone to failure; the frame wear and failure requires complete replacement, which is time-consuming and costly to maintain; most components are fixed by nailing and welding, which is cumbersome to disassemble and adjust, and ordinary materials have poor corrosion resistance and wear resistance, making it difficult to adapt to harsh environments.

[0004] These problems result in high maintenance and operating costs for the conveyor line, making it impossible to stably support heliostat production in the long term. They have become a bottleneck for improving production line efficiency and controlling costs, and there is an urgent need to develop key components for the conveyor line that can solve wear and tear, simplify maintenance, and improve adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a sliding guide rail for a heliostat conveyor line, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sliding guide rail for a heliostat conveyor line, comprising a guide rail base, the guide rail base being in the shape of a long strip plate, and U-shaped groove structures integrally formed on all four sides of the guide rail base; a mounting seat being detachably provided on the end face of the guide rail base, the mounting seat being in the shape of a plate, and a connecting seat being provided on the side of the mounting seat away from the guide rail base;

[0007] At least one bolt is provided through the interior of the connecting seat, and at least one through hole is provided inside the mounting seat for the bolt to pass through. One end of the bolt passes through the mounting seat and is threadedly connected to the guide rail base.

[0008] A connecting groove is integrally formed inside the guide rail base. The connecting groove is located on the side of the guide rail base away from the U-shaped groove structure and extends along the length of the guide rail base. The connecting groove consists of two oppositely distributed grooves, with the openings of the two grooves facing each other and their ends approaching each other to form a closing part. The closing part is formed by the inclined wall surfaces of the opening edges of the two grooves touching.

[0009] A sealing guide is embedded inside the connecting groove. The sealing guide is elongated and adapted to the length of the connecting groove. The outer wall of the sealing guide has a recessed portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the U-shaped groove structure is formed by two oppositely arranged side walls and a bottom wall connecting the two side walls, and the free ends of the two side walls are inclined outward to form flared openings, and the connection between the bottom wall and the two side walls is an arc transition.

[0011] Furthermore, the contour of the concave portion is perfectly matched with the shape of the closing portion of the connecting groove, and the wall surface of the concave portion fits against the inclined wall surface of the closing portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the two grooves of the connecting groove are both inverted L-shaped in cross-section, and their inner sidewalls are provided with strip-shaped protrusions extending along the length direction. The inner sidewalls of the sealing guide are provided with strip-shaped slots at corresponding positions, and the strip-shaped protrusions and strip-shaped slots are fitted together.

[0013] Furthermore, the inclined wall of the closing part forms an acute angle with the bottom of the connecting groove, and the inclined wall of the two grooves forms a pointed structure at the joint of the closing part. The corresponding position of the inner recess of the sealing guide is provided with a pointed groove adapted to the pointed structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner wall of the U-shaped groove structure is provided with long strip-shaped reinforcing ribs, which extend along the length of the U-shaped groove structure and have a semi-circular cross-section.

[0015] Furthermore, corresponding to the bolt, at least one mating hole is provided inside the guide rail base for threaded connection of the bolt.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The sliding guide rail of this heliostat conveyor line avoids direct metal-to-metal friction of the guide rail base through direct contact between the sealed guide component and the conveyor chain. This concentrates wear on the easily replaceable sealed guide component, replacing the overall wear of the traditional conveyor line frame, increasing the overall service life of the guide rail, and significantly reducing the frequency of equipment replacement.

[0018] 2. The sliding guide rail of the heliostat conveyor line has a U-shaped groove structure and reinforcing ribs to enhance the overall resistance to deformation. The sealing guide components can be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, which can adapt to the dust and humidity changes in the heliostat production workshop, ensuring that the conveyor line remains stable during long-term high-load operation and reducing the number of downtime due to failure.

[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 1-2 The sliding guide rail for the heliostat conveyor line in this embodiment is used to solve the problems of wear, cumbersome maintenance and poor environmental adaptability of the heliostat conveyor line during long-term operation.

[0024] Specifically, the overall structure of the sliding guide rail includes a guide rail base 1, a mounting base 2, a connecting base 3, bolts 4, and a sealing guide component 5.

[0025] In detail, the guide rail base 1, as the core support component of the guide rail, is in the shape of a long strip plate. A U-shaped groove structure 101 is integrally formed on all four sides. The U-shaped groove structure 101 is formed by two oppositely arranged side walls and a bottom wall connecting the two side walls. The free ends of the two side walls are inclined outward to form flared openings. The connection between the bottom wall and the two side walls is an arc transition.

[0026] In addition, the inner wall of the U-shaped groove structure 101 is provided with a semi-circular reinforcing rib 103 extending along the length direction to further enhance the structural strength.

[0027] Furthermore, the guide rail base 1 also has an integrally formed connecting groove 102 inside. This groove is located on the side of the guide rail base 1 away from the U-shaped groove structure 101, extends along the length of the guide rail, and is composed of two oppositely distributed inverted L-shaped grooves. The openings of the two grooves face each other and approach each other at their ends to form a closing part. The closing part is formed by the contact of the inclined walls of the opening edges of the two grooves. The inclined walls form an acute angle with the bottom of the groove, and the contact point forms a pointed structure. At the same time, the inner sidewalls of the two grooves of the connecting groove 102 are provided with strip-shaped protrusions extending along the length direction, which are used to cooperate with the sealing guide 5 to achieve precise positioning.

[0028] More specifically, the mounting base 2 is plate-shaped and can be detachably installed on the end face of the guide rail base 1. It has a through hole for the bolt 4 to pass through. The connecting base 3 is located on the side of the mounting base 2 away from the guide rail base 1 and is used to connect other components of the conveyor line. At least one bolt 4 is installed through the connecting base 3. After one end of the bolt 4 passes through the through hole of the mounting base 2, it is threadedly connected to the pre-set mating hole inside the guide rail base 1 to fix the mounting base 2, the connecting base 3 and the guide rail base 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the sealing guide 5 is generally elongated, with a length that matches the connecting groove 102 and is embedded inside the connecting groove 102. Its outer side wall has an inner recess that perfectly matches the shape of the closing part of the connecting groove 102, and a pointed groove is provided in the inner recess corresponding to the tip structure of the closing part. The wall surface is in close contact with the inclined wall surface of the closing part. The inner side wall of the sealing guide 5 has a strip-shaped groove corresponding to the strip-shaped protrusion of the connecting groove 102. Through the interlocking of the strip-shaped protrusion and the strip-shaped groove, the sealing guide 5 is stably installed in the connecting groove 102, preventing it from shifting or rotating along its length.

[0030] In actual installation, the sealing guide 5 is stably installed by positioning the strip protrusions and strip grooves and matching the shapes of the concave and closure parts. As the direct contact part of the conveyor chain, the sealing guide 5 can avoid direct metal-to-metal friction between the chain and the guide rail base 1, and concentrate the wear on the sealing guide 5. When the sealing guide 5 is worn to a certain extent, it can be directly removed from the connecting groove 102 for replacement without the need for repair or replacement of the entire guide rail base 1. This solves the problem of irreversible wear caused by direct friction in traditional conveyor frame and extends the overall service life of the guide rail.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0032] 1. First, fix the guide rail base 1 to the frame of the heliostat conveyor line using bolts 4 or welding, ensuring that the guide rail base 1 remains horizontal and without deviation along the conveying direction; then, attach the mounting base 2 to the end face of the guide rail base 1, aligning the through hole of the mounting base 2 with the mating hole of the guide rail base 1; place the connecting base 3 on the outside of the mounting base 2, insert the bolts 4 and tighten them, so that the bolts 4 pass through the connecting base 3 and the mounting base 2 and are threadedly fixed to the guide rail base 1, completing the connection and fixation of the guide rail base 1, the mounting base 2 and the connecting base 3. At this time, the connecting base 3 serves as a support transition component for the conveyor chain, maintaining slight contact with the chain.

[0033] 2. Align the strip groove of the sealing guide 5 with the strip protrusion of the connecting groove 102, and insert the sealing guide 5 into the connecting groove 102 along the length of the guide rail until the inner concave part of the sealing guide 5 is completely fitted with the closing part of the connecting groove 102. At this time, the strip protrusion and the strip groove are fitted together, and the sealing guide 5 is restricted in the connecting groove 102 and cannot move laterally or vertically. The outer wall of the sealing guide 5 is higher than the opening of the connecting groove 102, serving as the main guiding contact surface of the conveyor chain, replacing the guide rail base 1 in direct contact with the chain. When the heliostat conveyor line is started, the conveyor chain runs along the length of the guide rail, and the inner side of the chain contacts the outer wall of the sealing guide 5. The guiding effect of the sealing guide 5 keeps the running trajectory stable. At the same time, the slight contact between the chain and the connecting seat 3 can help disperse the pressure and prevent the sealing guide 5 from being subjected to excessive force at a single point. During operation, the friction of the chain only acts on the sealing guide 5 and the connecting seat 3. The guide rail base 1 is isolated by the sealing guide 5 and the mounting seat 2 and does not rub directly against the chain, thus avoiding irreversible wear. When the sealing guide 5 needs to be replaced, the old sealing guide 5 can be pulled out directly along the length of the connecting groove 102 and replaced with a new sealing guide 5. If the connecting seat 3 is worn, only the bolt 4 needs to be removed, the old connecting seat 3 needs to be removed and a new part replaced. No maintenance is required on the guide rail base 1. After maintenance, the conveyor line can be restored to operation.
