Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transportation technology, and in particular to a storage tank material laying vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of the silk refining workshop, storage tanks are numerous and crucial auxiliary equipment. During the material spreading stage, factors such as uneven material spreading, reciprocating impact blocks, and track misalignment often cause the material spreading vehicle to deviate to one side or at an angle. This deviation not only accelerates the wear of the wheel flanges and tracks, seriously affecting the operating conditions of the vehicle, but also causes grinding dust to fall into the storage tank, posing a potential threat to product quality.

[0003] Currently, the guiding devices used in storage tank laying vehicles mainly rely on the limiting flanges on the inner side of the wheels for guidance. When the vehicle deviates from its course, the wheels move radially away from the vehicle, and the flanges contact the track to prevent further deviation. However, during the continuous operation of the laying vehicle, the flanges and the track are constantly in a state of friction. This not only accelerates the wear of the wheel flanges and the track, further deteriorating the operating conditions, but also causes the resulting abrasion dust to fall into the storage tank, posing a serious threat to product quality and greatly affecting the stability of production and product quality in the yarn-making workshop.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a storage container material delivery vehicle to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage tank material spreading cart that can adaptively adjust the vehicle's deviation, effectively avoid the problem of material impurities caused by wheel flange friction and wheel wear, improve the practicality of the storage tank material spreading cart, and ensure the quality and efficiency of silk production.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A storage tank material laying vehicle includes a vehicle body, a traveling mechanism, and an anti-deviation mechanism;

[0008] The walking mechanism includes at least two pairs of wheels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body, and the wheels are rotatably connected to the guide surface of the track.

[0009] The anti-deviation mechanism includes at least two pairs of guide wheels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body. The rotation axis of the guide wheels is perpendicular to the guide surface of the track, and each guide wheel can elastically abut against the side of the track on the corresponding side along the width direction of the track.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments, each of the guide wheels can elastically abut against the inner side of the corresponding side of the track along the width direction of the track.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism further includes a mounting bracket, a locking element, and a support rod. The mounting bracket is connected to the vehicle body via the locking element, and the support rod is used to mount the guide wheel and is positionally adjustable to the mounting bracket along the width direction of the track.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the mounting bracket has a mounting groove extending in the width direction of the track, the support rod is slidably connected to the mounting groove, and the anti-deviation mechanism further includes an adjusting member, which is threadedly connected to the support rod and can abut against the mounting bracket to adjust the distance between the support rod and the track.

[0013] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism further includes an elastic element disposed between the mounting bracket and the support rod, for making the guide wheel elastically abut against the track on the corresponding side.

[0014] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism further includes a flexible connector, one end of which is connected to the mounting bracket and the other end of which is connected to the shaft of the guide wheel.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments, the flexible connector is made of silicone, rubber, or a spring.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism further includes a pressure detection element for real-time monitoring of the contact pressure between the guide wheel and the track.

[0017] In some alternative embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism further includes an alarm that is electrically connected to the pressure detection element.

[0018] In some alternative embodiments, the guide wheel surface is covered with a cushioning layer.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model provides a storage container material laying cart, including a cart body, a traveling mechanism, and an anti-deviation mechanism. The traveling mechanism includes at least two pairs of wheels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cart body, with the wheels rollingly connected to the guide surface of the track. The anti-deviation mechanism includes at least two pairs of guide wheels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cart body. The rotation axis of the guide wheels is perpendicular to the guide surface of the track, and each guide wheel can elastically abut against the side of the corresponding side track along the width direction of the track. Because the rotation axis of the guide wheels is perpendicular to the guide surface of the track, and each guide wheel can elastically abut against the side of the corresponding side track along the width direction of the track, when the cart body deviates, the guide wheels provide guidance and correction for the cart body through rolling friction with the track, replacing the sliding friction between the wheel flange and the track. This effectively avoids material impurity problems caused by wheel flange friction stopping and wheel wear, eliminates product safety hazards, and improves product quality. When the material spreading car deviates, the pressure of the track on the corresponding guide wheel increases, and the elastic resistance of the guide wheel increases, causing the car body to return to the correct position, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of the car's deviation. Moreover, the storage tank material spreading car has a simple structure and can be easily modified from existing material spreading cars, making it highly practical and conducive to ensuring the quality and efficiency of silk production.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0029] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage tank material laying vehicle, including a vehicle body 1, a traveling mechanism and an anti-deviation mechanism; the traveling mechanism includes at least two pairs of wheels 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1, and the wheels 2 are rotatably connected to the guide surface of the track 100; the anti-deviation mechanism includes at least two pairs of guide wheels 3 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1, the rotation axis of the guide wheels 3 is perpendicular to the guide surface of the track 100, and each guide wheel 3 can elastically abut against the side of the corresponding side track 100 along the width direction of the track 100.

[0031] The rotation axis of the guide wheel 3 is perpendicular to the guide surface of the track 100, and each guide wheel 3 can elastically abut against the side of the corresponding track 100 along the width direction of the track 100. When the vehicle body 1 deviates, the guide wheel 3 provides guidance and correction for the vehicle body 1 through rolling friction with the track 100, replacing the sliding friction between the wheel flange and the track 100. This effectively avoids the problem of material impurities caused by wheel flange friction stopping and wheel 2 wear, eliminates product safety hazards, and improves product quality.

[0032] When the material spreading car deviates, the pressure of the track 100 on the corresponding side guide wheel 3 increases, and the elastic resistance of the guide wheel 3 increases, causing the car body 1 to return to the correct position, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of the car deviation; moreover, the storage tank material spreading car has a simple structure and can be easily modified from the existing material spreading car, which has high practicality and is conducive to ensuring the quality and efficiency of silk production.

[0033] In this embodiment, each guide wheel 3 can elastically abut against the inner side of the corresponding side track 100 along the width direction of the track 100. It is easy to understand that the guide wheel 3 elastically abutting against the inner side of the corresponding side track 100 along the width direction of the track 100 allows the guide wheel 3 to be installed within the projection range of the lower surface of the vehicle body 1, which helps to reduce the overall volume of the paving vehicle, effectively reduces the lateral dimensions of the equipment, reduces the risk of interference with external devices, and reduces the difficulty of installation and debugging.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle body 1 has a first mounting position 11 and a second mounting position 12 on the left side, and a third mounting position 13 and a fourth mounting position 14 symmetrically arranged on the right side. Each mounting position is used to install a guide wheel 3. When the vehicle body 1 deviates to the left, the guide wheels 3 of the first mounting position 11 and the second mounting position 12 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1. When the vehicle body 1 deviates to the right, the guide wheels 3 of the third mounting position 13 and the fourth mounting position 14 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1. When the vehicle body 1 deviates at an angle, such as the front end of the vehicle body 1 deviating to the left and the rear end deviating to the right, the guide wheels 3 of the first mounting position 11 and the fourth mounting position 14 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1. If the front end of the vehicle body 1 deviates to the right and the rear end deviates to the left, the guide wheels 3 of the second mounting position 12 and the third mounting position 13 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1.

[0035] Of course, in other embodiments, each guide wheel 3 can elastically abut against the outer side of the corresponding side track 100 along the width direction of the track 100. When the vehicle body 1 deviates to the left, the guide wheels 3 of the third mounting position 13 and the fourth mounting position 14 on the right side of the vehicle body 1 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1. When the vehicle body 1 deviates to the right, the guide wheels 3 of the first mounting position 11 and the second mounting position 12 on the left side of the vehicle body 1 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1. When the vehicle body 1 deviates at an angle, such as the front end of the vehicle body 1 deviating to the left and the rear end deviating to the right, the guide wheels 3 of the second mounting position 12 and the third mounting position 13 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1. When the front end of the vehicle body 1 deviates to the right and the rear end deviates to the left, the guide wheels 3 of the first mounting position 11 and the fourth mounting position 14 act simultaneously to straighten the vehicle body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the anti-deviation mechanism also includes a mounting frame 4, a locking element 5, and a support rod 6. The mounting frame 4 is connected to the vehicle body 1 via the locking element 5. The support rod 6 is used to mount the guide wheel 3, and the support rod 6 is adjustablely connected to the mounting frame 4 along the width direction of the track 100. The operator can adaptively adjust the distance between the support rod 6 and the track 100 according to the installation position of the anti-deviation mechanism, the size of the vehicle body 1, and the size of the track 100, so that the guide wheel 3 abuts against the track 100.

[0037] Optionally, the locking element 5 may include, but is not limited to, threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection with the mounting bracket 4 and the vehicle body 1, which is not limited here.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting frame 4 has a mounting groove extending in the width direction of the track 100. The support rod 6 is slidably connected to the mounting groove. The anti-deviation mechanism also includes an adjusting component 7, which is threadedly connected to the support rod 6 and can abut against the mounting frame 4. It is used to adjust the distance between the support rod 6 and the track 100, thereby adjusting the distance between the guide wheel 3 and the track 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, the anti-deviation mechanism also includes an elastic element 8, which is disposed between the mounting frame 4 and the support rod 6, and is used to make the guide wheel 3 elastically abut against the corresponding side rail 100, thereby realizing the automatic deviation correction function.

[0040] Optionally, the guide wheel 3 and the vehicle body 1 or the track 100 can also be provided with non-contact elastic buffering through the repulsive or attractive force of permanent magnets or electromagnets, so that the guide wheel 3 can elastically abut against the corresponding side track 100. The specific implementation of providing non-contact elastic buffering through the repulsive or attractive force of permanent magnets or electromagnets belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism also includes a flexible connector 9, one end of which is connected to the mounting frame 4 and the other end to the rotating shaft of the guide wheel 3. This improves the connection stability between the guide wheel 3 and the mounting frame 4. When the guide wheel 3 is running normally, it can buffer vibration and lateral force, reducing stress concentration problems in rigid connections. When the guide wheel 3 is accidentally subjected to a strong impact and breaks, the flexible connector 9 can use its own extensibility to hold the broken guide wheel 3, preventing it from completely falling into the storage tank or production line. This prevents serious consequences such as equipment downtime, material contamination, or safety hazards caused by the falling of parts. It ensures the safety and continuity of equipment operation and reduces maintenance costs and production interruption risks caused by sudden failures.

[0042] Optionally, the flexible connector 9 may include, but is not limited to, silicone, rubber or spring.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism also includes a pressure detection element for real-time monitoring of the contact pressure between the guide wheel 3 and the track 100. Through real-time data feedback from the pressure detection element, the contact state between the guide wheel 3 and the track 100 can be accurately grasped, and abnormal contact pressure can be detected in a timely manner (such as excessive pressure leading to increased wear or insufficient pressure causing operational deviation). This allows operators or the control system to dynamically adjust the preload of the elastic element or the equipment operating parameters, ensuring that the guide wheel 3 always contacts the track 100 with reasonable pressure. This avoids component damage caused by rigid compression and effectively prevents the material spreading vehicle from deviating due to insufficient contact pressure. At the same time, the real-time monitoring data can be used for predicting the equipment's operating status and providing early warning of faults. For example, when the pressure value changes abruptly, it can quickly locate whether there are problems such as deformation of the track 100, wear of the guide wheel 3, or failure of the elastic element, allowing for early intervention and maintenance, reducing the incidence of sudden failures, improving the reliability of equipment operation and the stability of the production line, and ensuring the accuracy and continuity of the material spreading process in the cigarette manufacturing process.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the anti-deviation mechanism also includes an alarm, which is electrically connected to the pressure detection element. When the pressure detection element detects abnormal contact pressure between the guide wheel 3 and the track 100 (such as pressure exceeding a preset threshold or falling below a safe range), the alarm is triggered by an electrical signal to emit an audible and visual alarm signal. This provides real-time warning of potential equipment malfunctions, allowing operators to promptly detect abnormal contact conditions of the guide wheel 3 and preventing further deterioration of problems such as excessive wear of the guide wheel 3, deformation of the track 100, and deviation of the material spreading vehicle due to undetected pressure abnormalities. Simultaneously, it shortens fault response time, allowing operators to quickly locate and intervene in the problem based on alarm information, reducing equipment downtime, lowering downtime losses and maintenance costs, further enhancing the safety and stability of the production line, and ensuring continuous and reliable operation of the material spreading process.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the surface of the guide wheel 3 is covered with a buffer layer. The buffer layer can absorb the impact energy when the guide wheel 3 contacts the track 100, significantly reducing operating vibration and noise, and improving the stability of equipment operation. Its elastic deformation capability can adapt to the slight unevenness or processing error of the track 100 surface, reducing wear caused by rigid contact and extending the service life of the guide wheel 3 and the track 100. At the same time, the buffer layer increases the friction between the guide wheel 3 and the track 100, which can prevent slippage and ensure that the material spreading vehicle travels accurately along the track 100, indirectly improving the uniformity of material spreading. In addition, when the guide wheel 3 is subjected to accidental impact, the buffer layer can buffer the impact force through its own deformation, reducing the risk of structural damage to the guide wheel 3, and further enhancing the reliability of the anti-deviation mechanism and the safety of equipment operation.

[0046] Optionally, the buffer layer may include, but is not limited to, elastic materials such as rubber or polyurethane.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
