Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a material conveying equipment for the installation and construction of hospital logistics tracks. Background Technology
[0002] Hospital rail logistics is a computer-controlled system that uses intelligent railcars to transport goods on dedicated tracks. It typically consists of receiving and dispatching workstations, intelligent railcars, logistics tracks, track switchers, automatic isolation doors, central control equipment, and a control network. It is used to transport routine items such as medical records, test reports, common medications (which can be stored at room temperature), sterilized instruments, and office supplies. The intelligent railcars run on the tracks, delivering these items to designated locations.
[0003] The containers on typical intelligent rail-mounted cargo carts cannot be expanded in capacity, and can only transport a certain amount of items at a time. When the amount of items to be transported exceeds its capacity, it needs to be transported in batches, which is inefficient. If the container volume is increased, it will take up more space and is more likely to be bumped by moving IV poles, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0024] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0025] This embodiment provides a material conveying device for the installation and construction of hospital logistics tracks, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a lower box 2, which includes a lower box body 21 and several guide parts 26. The lower box body 21 is used to hold items, and the guide parts 26 are all located on the outside of the lower box body 21.
[0026] The upper box 1 includes an upper box body 11 and several limiting parts. The upper box body 11 is sleeved on the upper outer side of the lower box body 21. The guide part 26 can slide up and down within the corresponding limiting part and can be fixed by the limiting part. When the guide part 26 slides down along the limiting part, the volume enclosed by the lower box body 21 and the upper box body 11 increases. When the guide part 26 slides up along the limiting part, the volume enclosed by the lower box body 21 and the upper box body 11 decreases.
[0027] The upper housing 11 has L-shaped grooves 15 at each of its four corners, and the lower housing 21 has L-shaped columns 25 at each of its four corners. The L-shaped columns 25 can slide up and down within the L-shaped grooves 15, which guide the L-shaped columns 25. Figure 4 As shown, a ring of bottom blocks 22 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom of the lower box 21, and L-shaped columns 25 are all fixedly installed above the bottom blocks 22.
[0028] like Figure 2As shown, two connecting brackets 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the upper box 11. The upper box 11 is connected to a drive system through the connecting brackets 12, and the drive system drives the upper box 11 to move on the track. The upper box 11 has an upper door 13 on the front side, and the upper door 13 has a handle 14; the lower box 21 has a lower door 23 on the front side, and the lower door 23 has a latch 24. A finger can be inserted into the latch 24 to open the lower door 23. The lower door 23 is directly opposite the upper door 13. After opening the upper door 13 and the lower door 23 in sequence, items can be placed into or removed from the box.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting part includes a strip groove 16, and the upper box 11 on both sides of the strip groove 16 is provided with a receiving groove 17. The bottom of the receiving groove 17 is provided with a stop block 18, which is fixedly connected to the upper box 11. Several limiting grooves 19 are provided on the outer side of the upper box 11 on both sides of the strip groove 16, and the limiting grooves 19 on both sides of the strip groove 16 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0030] The guide section 26 includes a guide assembly and a limiting assembly. The guide assembly can slide up and down within the strip groove 16, and the limiting assembly can rotate around the guide assembly. When the limiting assembly enters the corresponding limiting groove 19, the limiting assembly is restricted by the limiting groove 19 and cannot rotate, thus fixing the guide assembly within the strip groove 16. Figure 5 As shown, the guide assembly includes a guide post 261. Protrusions 262 are fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the guide post 261. A groove 263 is provided on the upper front of the guide post 261, and a retaining ring 264 is provided at the outer end of the groove 263. The retaining ring 264 is fixedly connected to the guide post 261. The guide post 261 can slide back and forth within the strip groove 16. The protrusions 262 extend into the receiving groove 17 and can slide back and forth within the receiving groove 17. When the protrusions 262 slide to the bottom of the receiving groove 17, they are blocked by the stop block 18, preventing the guide post 261 from falling out of the strip groove 16, thereby preventing the lower housing 21 from falling off the upper housing 11.
[0031] The limiting assembly includes a cylinder 265 located within a groove 263. A baffle 266 is fixedly mounted on the inner end of the cylinder 265, and a knob 267 is fixedly mounted on its outer end, located outside the groove 263. A spring 268 is fitted around the outer ring of the cylinder 265, positioned between a retaining ring 264 and the baffle 266. The diameter of the baffle 266 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the groove 263, allowing it to slide or rotate within the groove. The outer diameter of the baffle 266 is larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring 264, preventing it from dislodging from the retaining ring 264. The two ends of the spring 268 are fixedly connected to the retaining ring 264 and the baffle 266, respectively, for resetting the knob 267. The length of the knob 267 is greater than the width of the strip groove 16, and its width is less than the width of the strip groove 16. When the knob 267 is rotated to a horizontal position, both ends extend into the corresponding limiting grooves 19.
[0032] When the knob 267 is located in the uppermost limiting groove 19, the lower box 21 and the upper box 11 overlap the most, and the volume of the box formed by the two is the smallest.
[0033] When it is necessary to expand the cabinet volume, pull all the knobs 267 outward in sequence. The knobs 267 drive the baffle 266 to move outward through the cylinder 265, compressing the spring 268. The knobs 267 then disengage from the limiting groove 19. Rotate the knobs 267 to the vertical position. Pull the lower housing 21 down to reduce its overlap with the upper housing 11, increasing the housing volume. Once the housing volume reaches a suitable value, pull the knob 267 outward. When its bottom surface is higher than the outer surface of the upper housing 11, turn it to a horizontal position. Adjust the position of the lower housing 21 up and down so that the knob 267 is aligned with the nearest limiting groove 19. Release the knob 267, and the spring 268 will rebound, pushing the baffle 266 inward. The baffle 266, through the cylinder 265, will drive the knob 267 inward, locking the knob 267 in the limiting groove 19, preventing the lower housing 21 from moving further down, and fixing the housing volume.
[0034] By providing a lower box 21 that can slide up and down on the upper box 11, the volume of the box is adjustable, and can be adjusted to a suitable volume according to the amount of items to be transported; the guide part 26 fixes the lower box 21 on the upper box 11, ensuring that the volume of the box remains constant during transportation, increasing the number of items transported at one time, while occupying as little extra space as possible, preventing collisions with moving infusion poles, etc., and reducing safety risks.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
