Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail technology, specifically to a lightweight aluminum rail. Background Technology

[0002] The tracks in current automated material handling systems generally suffer from two major defects:

[0003] Traditional steel rails are solid structures, which leads to high requirements for installation foundations and increased energy consumption. For example, standard QU80 steel rails often use welded stops, which cannot be adjusted according to the equipment's operating requirements. Especially in emerging fields of automated docking systems, the rails need to be frequently adjusted to change the robot's working area, and existing technologies are unable to meet the requirements for lightweighting and flexibility.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a lightweight aluminum track to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A lightweight aluminum track includes a track body, the cross-section of which comprises: an upper cavity support arm, a side cavity, an inner cavity arc surface, a walking cavity upper groove, a walking tread, and a weight-reducing cavity assembly; the weight-reducing cavity assembly is composed of a vertical cavity, a tread cavity, and an arc-shaped lower cavity.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the root wall thickness of the upper cavity force-bearing arm is 1.5-2 times the end wall thickness.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the side cavities are symmetrically arranged, and the wall thickness at the connection between the walking tread and the track body is increased by 20%-30%.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the groove on the walking cavity is a through groove, and the groove on the walking cavity is used to adjust the installation of a stop block, and the stop block is fixed in the groove by bolts, and its position can be adjusted along the length of the groove.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the vertical cavity and the tread cavity of the weight reduction cavity assembly are arranged in a polygonal layout, and the cavity wall thickness is 2-3mm.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the track also includes a lower arc-shaped cavity, which is disposed between the arc surface of the inner cavity and the vertical cavity.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention, through the design of an upper cavity support arm, side cavities, an inner cavity arc surface, a groove on the upper part of the walking cavity, a walking tread, a vertical cavity, and a tread cavity, ensures that the force on the load-bearing track is transferred to the support arm. The support arm is thickened at concentrated stress points (root) and correspondingly thinned at non-stress points (ends), reducing weight and improving appearance. The side cavities primarily provide a fixed location for outward-extending components. The inner cavity arc surface enhances structural performance and improves appearance. The groove on the upper part of the walking cavity, without affecting the movement of the trolley, provides a fixed location for the built-in stop block and allows for flexible adjustment of its position. The smooth surface of the walking tread reduces friction, and the thickened wall at the connection between the walking tread and the root enhances structural performance. The vertical cavity, while meeting structural performance requirements, reduces weight and improves appearance. The tread cavity, in turn, reduces weight and improves appearance while meeting structural performance requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1-5 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the upper slot 4 of the walking cavity is a through slot, and the upper slot 4 of the walking cavity is used to adjust the installation of the stop block, and the stop block is fixed in the slot by bolts, and the position can be adjusted along the length of the slot.

[0029] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1-5 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the vertical cavity 6 and the tread cavity 7 of the weight reduction cavity assembly are arranged in a polygonal layout, and the cavity wall thickness is 2-3mm.

[0031] The upper cavity load arm 1, the force of the load-bearing track will be transmitted to the load arm, the thickening at the concentrated force point (root) and the corresponding thinning at the non-force point (end) to reduce weight and improve appearance;

[0032] Side cavity 2, its main function is to provide a place for fixing the outward-extending components;

[0033] The inner cavity arc surface 3 mainly serves to enhance structural performance and improve appearance.

[0034] The upper slot 4 of the walking cavity can provide a fixed place for the built-in stop block without affecting the movement of the trolley in the walking cavity, and the position of the inner stop block can be flexibly adjusted.

[0035] The walking tread 5 has a smooth surface, resulting in low friction during walking. At the same time, the wall thickness of the walking tread and the root connection is increased to enhance the structural performance.

[0036] Vertical cavity 6, while meeting structural performance requirements, reduces weight and improves appearance;

[0037] The tread cavity 7 reduces weight and improves appearance while meeting structural performance requirements.

[0038] The operating procedure of the device during use:

[0039] Installation phase:

[0040] The main track body is installed by suspending it through the upper cavity support arm 1 and the cavity structure.

[0041] Insert a C-shaped stop block (standard stainless steel block) into the groove 4 on the traveling cavity, and use T-bolts to press it in place from bottom to top for initial fixation. The initial position is set according to the working range of the equipment.

[0042] Several sets of aluminum tracks can be connected by inserting strip-shaped fixing pieces into the side cavity 2 and reinforced with bolts, which can realize the connection between tracks without welding or assembly.

[0043] Adjustment phase (core adjustability):

[0044] When the working conditions change (such as the robot's working area needs to be expanded), loosen the bolts of the stop block, slide the stop block to the new position along the groove 4 on the walking cavity (the groove length can be continuously adjusted), and then tighten the bolts again.

[0045] The adjustment process requires no welding or disassembly of the track, takes less than 5 minutes, and can adapt to frequent changes.

[0046] Operation phase:

[0047] The trolley runs on the walking tread 5 (the low-friction surface ensures smooth movement), and the load is distributed to the weight-reducing cavity group (vertical cavity 6 and tread cavity 7) through the variable cross-section design of the upper cavity force arm 1.

[0048] The stop block limits the travel range of the trolley to prevent overtravel; in case of impact, the inner cavity arc surface 3 and the reinforced wall thickness absorb stress to ensure structural durability.

[0049] This process highlights the core advantages of the utility model: the weight-reducing design lowers installation complexity, and the adjustable stop enhances system flexibility, making it suitable for dynamic industrial environments.
