Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a conveyor line for transporting workpieces, and more particularly to a support device in the conveyor line for supporting the movement of a carrier. Background Technology
[0002] When using an assembly line to manufacture products, the products to be manufactured are usually composed of multiple components. Some products have a large number of components. To achieve batch production, a carrier conveyor line is usually required. The product components are loaded into carriers, and the carrier conveyor line transports the components to the corresponding processing positions to complete the various processing steps of the product. However, some product components have significant structural differences and are relatively fragmented, making them inconvenient to transport using ordinary carriers.
[0003] Chinese patent document (publication number: CN219468781U) discloses a conveying device for an assembly line, including a driven component, a frame disposed above the driven component, and a loading device disposed on the frame. The driven component comprises a pulley assembly connected below the frame, a connecting block connected below the pulley assembly, and a drive block rotatably connected to the connecting block. A drive rail is provided below the drive block, and the drive rail has protrusions. When the drive block abuts against the protrusions, the drive rail drives the driven component forward. This invention allows for smooth material flow, improves material conveying and storage efficiency, and maximizes the storage of materials in limited space.
[0004] To enable vehicles to move on an assembly line, tracks are needed to support them. Smooth movement of the vehicles on the tracks is required, and to improve transport efficiency, a certain speed is generally required. However, if the vehicle's speed is too high during track changes, it will affect the stability of the vehicle during the track change. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a conveyor carrier support device, which, while providing support for the carrier's movement, can reduce the carrier's speed on the track as needed, thereby facilitating the subsequent stable operation of the carrier.
[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problem, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a conveyor line carrier support device, comprising a track with two parallel track surfaces forming on the track for supporting load-bearing rollers on the carrier. An installation rail is provided below the two track surfaces, and the installation rail is parallel to the two track surfaces. The device is characterized in that an upwardly extending inverted L-shaped limiting plate is integrally formed on the track at a position corresponding to the two track surfaces. The two limiting plates are symmetrically arranged, thereby forming a U-shaped limiting cavity at the track surface position. The openings of the two limiting cavities face each other, and there is a gap between the two limiting plates. A plurality of flexible deceleration components extend into the gap, and the deceleration components are disposed on the limiting plates and arranged along the length of the gap.
[0007] The speed reduction component can be a cluster of bristles, or it can be a soft plastic strip or sheet. The speed reduction component can be placed at appropriate locations according to the actual structure of the conveyor line, such as upstream of the track change point or upstream of the curved section of the track. It reduces the speed of the carrier through elastic contact. When the carrier is placed on the track, the limiting plate partially encloses the load-bearing rollers on the carrier; unless a slit is made in the limiting plate, the carrier will not easily detach from the track.
[0008] Furthermore, the speed reducer consists of two rows, each mounted on a separate limiting plate. The two rows of speed reducers impede the vehicle from opposite sides, resulting in good stability of the vehicle's movement on the track.
[0009] Furthermore, the speed reducer is connected to the clamping member, which extends along the length of the track surface and is connected to the outer end of the limiting plate. The speed reducer can be prefabricated on the clamping member, which facilitates the processing of the speed reducer and its assembly with the limiting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping member has a clamping opening on its outer end and a locking slot on its inner end. The speed reducer is disposed within the clamping opening, and the locking slot engages with the outer end of the limiting plate. The clamping opening facilitates clamping the speed reducer, resulting in good positional stability of the speed reducer on the clamping member. The locking slot enables snap-fit assembly between the clamping member and the limiting plate, simplifying the assembly of the speed reducer.
[0011] Furthermore, the two opposing inner surfaces of the bayonet are respectively provided with protruding teeth, which extend along the length of the clamping member; a retaining strip is integrally formed at the outer end of the limiting plate, extending along the length of the limiting plate, and the thickness of the retaining strip is greater than the thickness of the limiting plate, and the teeth engage with the retaining strip. This makes the assembly speed between the clamping member and the limiting plate fast and the installation stability of the clamping member good.
[0012] Furthermore, the speed reduction component consists of several horizontally arranged bristles. The bristles are well-suited for slowing down the vehicle, ensuring stable deceleration.
[0013] Furthermore, the track includes two parallel single rails, with the limiting plates integrally formed on each of the two single rails. Several parallel connecting members connect the two single rails to their bottom surfaces, thus connecting them together. The mounting rail is mounted on the connecting members. The track has a split structure, facilitating its processing and installation. The connecting members also facilitate the installation of the mounting rail.
[0014] Furthermore, a limiting plate is integrally formed at the middle position of each of the two monorails facing each other, with the two limiting plates extending towards each other. Limiting rollers can be installed on the vehicle. By placing the limiting rollers under the limiting plates, the limiting plates can limit the vehicle through the limiting rollers. Combined with the aforementioned limiting plates, the stability of the vehicle's travel position on the track is ensured.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: By setting a limiting plate on the track, a limiting cavity is formed at the support surface of the track. After the load-bearing roller is placed into the limiting cavity, the limiting plate can limit the load-bearing roller, effectively preventing the carrier from tipping over during its movement on the track. Because the carrier has good positional stability on the track, the requirements for the workpiece's loading position on the carrier are relatively low; even with offset, the positional stability of the carrier on the track can be effectively guaranteed. By setting a speed reduction component on the limiting plate to slow down the carrier's movement, the speed of the carrier is reduced during track changes and turns, thereby further improving the carrier's stability on the conveyor line.

[0019] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this conveyor line carrier support device, as the main body of the conveyor line, is used to provide support for the movement of the carrier on the conveyor line. The structure includes a track, which is divided into a main track and several branch rails. The main track has a closed-loop structure, and the branch rails have a curved orientation, forming workstations. The branch rails are located on the outside of the main track.
[0020] The vehicle in question is equipped with vertically mounted load-bearing rollers, arranged in two rows. Two parallel track surfaces 32, horizontally positioned, support the load-bearing rollers. A mounting rail 2 is located directly below the center of the two track surfaces 32, parallel to them. The mounting rail 2 contains a mounting cavity with a flexible power line. Several protruding push blocks on the power line apply force to the vehicle, enabling it to move along the track.
[0021] An inverted L-shaped limiting plate 31, extending upwards, is integrally formed at positions corresponding to the two track surfaces 32 on the track. The two limiting plates 31 are symmetrically arranged, with their upper ends extending directly above the corresponding track surfaces 32. A U-shaped limiting cavity is formed between the limiting plate 31 and the track, with the track surface 32 serving as the bottom surface of the limiting cavity. The openings of the two limiting cavities face each other, and a row of load-bearing rollers on the carrier are intermittently disposed within one limiting cavity. There is a gap between the two limiting plates 31, through which the connecting part on the lower side of the carrier passes, and the load-bearing rollers are disposed on opposite sides of the connecting part. Several flexible deceleration components extend into the gap and are disposed on the limiting plates 31. The deceleration components are arranged along a certain dimension and along the length of the gap. Normally, the deceleration components are not arranged on the entire limiting plate 31, but rather in segments. However, to achieve overall dust blocking, the deceleration components can also be arranged along the entire length of the limiting plate 31.
[0022] The track has a split structure, including two parallel single rails 3 separated by a partition. Two limiting plates 31 are integrally formed on the two single rails 3. Two rows of speed reducers are mounted on the two limiting plates 31, extending towards each other. Several parallel connecting members 1 are connected to the bottom surfaces of the two single rails 3 to achieve this connection. The connecting member 1 is a rod-shaped body with a constriction groove formed on the bottom surface of the single rail 3. It is fixedly connected to the single rail 3 by connecting bolts with plugs. The mounting rail 2 uses the connecting member 1 as a support and is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the connecting member 1 along its length.
[0023] The speed reducer is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 31 via a clamping member 5, which is typically made of aluminum profile. The clamping member 5 extends along the length of the track surface 32 and is connected to the outer end of the limiting plate 31. The cross-section of the clamping member 5 is approximately H-shaped, and it is horizontally positioned. The outer end of the clamping member 5 has a clamping opening, and the inner end has a locking slot. The speed reducer is arranged within the clamping opening, and the clamping opening clamps the speed reducer through a stamping mechanism; the locking slot engages with the outer end of the limiting plate 31 in a snap-fit manner. As shown in the figure, the speed reducer consists of several bristles 4, which are horizontally positioned and arranged along the length of the clamping member 5. The two inner sides of the bayonet are respectively provided with protruding teeth, which extend at the same length along the length of the clamping member 5; a clamping strip 34 is integrally formed on the outer end of the limiting plate 31. The cross section of the clamping strip 34 is approximately "convex". The clamping strip 34 extends along the length of the limiting plate 31. The thickness of the clamping strip 34 is greater than the thickness of the limiting plate 31. The teeth are engaged with the clamping strip 34. The clamping strip 34 uses the teeth to prevent the clamping member 5 from disengaging from the limiting plate 31.
[0024] To further improve the positional stability of the vehicle on the track, a limiting piece 33 is integrally formed at the middle position of the two monorails 3 facing each other. The two limiting pieces 33 extend at the same height facing each other and are also spaced apart in the horizontal direction to allow the connecting parts on the vehicle to pass through.
