Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic sidewalk technology, and in particular to a middle oil tank structure for a horizontal sidewalk. Background Technology
[0002] Horizontal moving walkways are commonly used in airports, large shopping malls and supermarkets, train stations and docks. They transport passengers horizontally from the boarding area to the corresponding location, thus saving users' physical effort. Below the moving walkway tread chains are oil collection troughs to collect lubricating oil that drips from the chains. If this lubricating oil is left to drip without collecting the troughs, it will contaminate the bottom of the moving walkway truss and corrode the truss cables, causing electrical leakage and potentially leading to a fire.
[0003] However, due to the relatively long span of horizontal moving walkways, some manufacturers can currently achieve up to 120 meters. The longer horizontal moving walkway will cause a problem: after the lubricant drops in the oil tank in the middle section are collected, because the angle is horizontal, the lubricant will not flow to both ends, but will continue to accumulate in the oil tank in the middle horizontal section until leakage or evaporation occurs, which will pose a certain safety hazard to the horizontal moving walkway. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a central oil groove structure for a horizontal sidewalk, which facilitates the collection of lubricating oil on both sides and improves safety.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A horizontal sidewalk intermediate oil trough structure includes a sidewalk truss, on which a tread chain and an oil collection trough located below the tread chain are provided. The sidewalk truss includes a horizontally arranged intermediate section and edge sections located at both ends of the intermediate section and lower than the intermediate section. The oil collection trough includes multiple intermediate oil collection troughs located in the intermediate section and end oil collection troughs located in the edge sections and communicating with the intermediate oil collection troughs. An oil collection box is provided at the end of each end oil collection trough. At least one high point is provided on the intermediate section. The multiple intermediate oil collection troughs are respectively located on both sides of the high point and connected end to end along the length of the intermediate section. As the distance from the high point increases, the intermediate oil collection troughs gradually slope downward. A support assembly is provided between two adjacent intermediate oil collection troughs. The support assembly includes a support portion for supporting the intermediate oil collection trough, and steel wires connecting the two intermediate oil collection troughs are respectively provided on both sides of the support portion.
[0007] Preferably, the sidewalk truss includes vertical bracing angle steel, and the support assembly includes bolts, nuts, support plates, and clamps connected to the support plates. The support plates and clamps are respectively provided with corresponding mounting holes. The bolts pass through the mounting holes and are connected to the nuts. By tightening the bolts, the support plates and clamps clamp the vertical bracing angle steel, thereby connecting the support assembly to the vertical bracing angle steel.
[0008] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a groove that conforms to the shape of the intermediate oil collecting trough, and the groove contacts the bottom of the intermediate oil collecting trough.
[0009] Preferably, the oil collection tank includes a bottom plate and side plates disposed on both sides of the bottom plate, and the end of the steel wire is provided with a hook-shaped part, the steel wire extending obliquely upward so that the hook-shaped part hooks the side plate from above.
[0010] Preferably, at least two high points are provided on the middle section, and an oil collection box is provided between adjacent high points. The intermediate oil collection trough between adjacent high points gradually slopes downward and extends into the oil collection box as it moves away from the high point.
[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0012] This utility model relates to a horizontal sidewalk with a central oil trough structure comprising a sidewalk truss, a tread chain, and an oil collection trough located below the tread chain. The sidewalk truss includes a horizontally positioned central section and edge sections at both ends of the central section. The oil collection trough includes multiple central oil collection troughs in the central section and end oil collection troughs in the edge sections that communicate with the central oil collection troughs. An oil collection box is located at the end of each end oil collection trough. At least one high point is located on the central section. The multiple central oil collection troughs are respectively positioned on both sides of the high point and connected end-to-end along the length of the central section. The central oil collection troughs gradually slope downwards as they move away from the high point. A support assembly is provided between adjacent central oil collection troughs, facilitating installation and providing greater flexibility compared to welding. The tilt angle of the oil collection troughs can be adjusted at will, solving the problems of difficult welding and inconvenient adjustment after welding. Dripping lubricating oil can be collected in the oil collection boxes at both ends of the horizontal sidewalk, facilitating the collection of lubricating oil dripping from the central section and preventing oil leakage that could cause safety hazards.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.
[0023] Furthermore, it should be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, and down used in the embodiments of this utility model are only relative concepts or references to the normal use of the product, and should not be considered restrictive. The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2The diagram illustrates a central oil trough structure for a horizontal sidewalk according to this invention. It includes a sidewalk truss 1, a pedal chain 2 mounted on the sidewalk truss 1, and an oil collection trough located below the pedal chain 2. The sidewalk truss 1 comprises a horizontal central section 11 and edge sections 12 connected to both ends of the central section 11 and lower than the central section 11. The oil collection trough includes multiple central oil collection troughs 31 located on the central section 11 and end oil collection troughs 32 installed on the edge sections 12 and communicating with the central oil collection troughs 31. Each end of the end oil collection trough 32 has an oil collection box 4 at its end. The central section 11 has at least one high point 5. The multiple central oil collection troughs 31 are respectively installed on both sides of the high point 5 and connected end-to-end along the length of the central section 11. As the central oil collection troughs 31 move away from the high point 5, they gradually slope downwards, allowing lubricating oil falling from the pedal chain 2 to enter the end oil collection troughs 32 along the central oil collection troughs 31 and then flow into the oil collection box 4. This prevents lubricating oil from remaining in the central oil collection troughs 31 for extended periods, thus avoiding leakage and potential safety hazards.
[0025] A support assembly 6 is installed between two adjacent intermediate oil collection tanks 31, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3-5 As shown, the support assembly 6 includes a support portion 61 for supporting the intermediate oil collection tank 31, and the two sides of the support portion 61 have steel wires 62 connecting the two intermediate oil collection tanks 31.
[0026] The sidewalk truss 1 includes vertical bracing angle steel 13. In this embodiment, the support component 6 includes bolts 63, nuts, support plates 64, and clamping plates 65 connected to the support plates 64. The support plates 64 and clamping plates 65 are respectively machined with corresponding mounting holes. The bolts 63 pass through the mounting holes and are connected to the nuts. By tightening the bolts 63, the support plates 64 and clamping plates 65 clamp the vertical bracing angle steel 13, thus connecting the support component 6 to the vertical bracing angle steel 13. Loosening the bolts allows the support component 6 to move up and down. No additional machining is required on the vertical bracing angle steel, making its installation more flexible and convenient. Moreover, since the support component 6 is only used to support the oil collection tank, the force it receives is relatively small, and the friction generated by the bolt preload is sufficient to fix it.
[0027] The support plate 64 has a groove that conforms to the shape of the intermediate oil collecting trough 31, and the groove contacts the bottom of the intermediate oil collecting trough 31. The oil collecting trough includes a bottom plate 33 and side plates 34 located on both sides of the bottom plate 33. The end of the steel wire 62 is bent to form a hook-shaped part 621. The steel wire 62 extends obliquely upward so that the hook-shaped part 621 hooks the side plate 34 from above, so that the oil collecting trough remains stable and avoids shaking.
[0028] When the span of the horizontal sidewalk is relatively long, and the civil engineering requirements prevent the truss from being deepened, multiple high points 5 can be set on the middle section 11. (See attached...) Figure 6As shown, there are two high points on the middle section 11. An oil collection box 4 is installed between the adjacent high points 5. The middle oil collection groove 31 between the adjacent high points 5 gradually slopes downwards and extends into the oil collection box 4 as it moves away from the high point 5, so that the lubricating oil in the middle oil collection groove 31 will not stay in the same place due to the long span, making it easy to collect.
[0029] This utility model discloses a middle oil trough structure for a horizontal sidewalk. The middle oil collection trough 31 is raised to ensure a certain inclination angle, so that the lubricating oil dripping from the pedal chain 2 can be collected in the oil collection boxes 4 at both ends of the horizontal sidewalk, which facilitates the collection of lubricating oil dripping in the middle and avoids oil leakage. When the civil engineering has depth requirements, different numbers of high points 5 can be set according to the span, and multiple oil collection troughs can be installed in the middle section 11 to collect lubricating oil. The support component 6 is easy to install and more flexible than welding. The inclination angle of the oil collection trough can be adjusted at will, solving the problems of difficult welding and inconvenient adjustment after welding.
[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
