The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0015] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment of the utility model, the slidable guide rail coupling device includes: a stand 1, which serves as the basic support structure of the entire device and provides a frame for the installation and fixing of other components; a slide rail rod 2 is fixedly connected inside the stand 1 to provide a guide for the vertical sliding of other components; and a motor 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the stand 1 as a driving component for adjusting the direction.

[0016] One end of the slide rail upright 2 passes through the upright 1 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3. The outer end of the slide rail upright 2 is vertically slidably connected to a sliding connecting sleeve 4 as a sliding component. The upper back of the sliding connecting sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to a docking ring 5, which serves as a connection. The front of the sliding connecting sleeve 4 is provided with a coupling docking mechanism 6, which is the core working component responsible for docking with the sand lifting pump and the sand suction pipe.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 4The coupling and docking mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame box 61, a connecting block 62, and a fixed half ring 63. The fixed frame box 61 is fixedly connected to the front of the sliding connecting sleeve 4, the connecting block 62 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front of the fixed frame box 61, and the fixed half ring 63 is fixedly connected to the free end of the connecting block 62. The second fixed half ring 64, the middle flexible connection 65, and the docking component 66 are fixedly connected to both ends of the first fixed half ring 63 by screws. The docking component 66 is located inside the upper end of the fixed frame box 61 and the upper end of the middle flexible connection 65. There are two sets of docking components 66. The other set of docking components 66 is arranged in reverse inside the lower end of the fixed frame box 61 and the lower end of the middle soft connection 65.

[0018] The docking assembly 66 includes a waterproof motor housing 661, a folding telescopic flexible connection 662, and a conical flexible connection 663. The waterproof motor housing 661 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inside of the fixed frame box 61, the folding telescopic flexible connection 662 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the middle flexible connection 65, and the conical flexible connection 663 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the folding telescopic flexible connection 662. The fixed frame 664, the lead screw 665, and the sliding pressure component 666 are fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof motor compartment 661, the lead screw 665 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed frame 664, and the sliding pressure component 666 is threaded to one end of the lead screw 665. Fixed half-ring 3 667, fixed half-ring 4 668, connecting block 2 669 and bolt 6610, fixed half-ring 3 667 and fixed half-ring 4 668 are set at one end of the outer side of the conical flexible connection 663, connecting block 2 669 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of fixed half-ring 4 668, and bolt 6610 is set at the upper end of connecting block 2 669; The other end of the lead screw 665 extends through the fixed frame 664 into the waterproof motor compartment 661. The waterproof motor compartment 661 integrates a motor and gear transmission assembly, which is connected to the other end of the lead screw 665. The sliding pressure component 666 is vertically and slidably connected to the fixed frame 664. Fixed semi-ring 3 (667) and fixed semi-ring 4 (668) are fixedly connected by screws. Sliding pressure member 666 and connecting block 2 (669) are movably inserted. The other end of bolt 6610 passes through connecting block 2 (669) and is threadedly connected to sliding pressure member 666. Fixed semi-ring 1 (63) and fixed semi-ring 2 (64) are fixed to the outside of the central flexible connection 65 by screws. The central flexible connection 65 is fixed to the front of the fixed frame box 61 by connecting block 1 (62). At the same time, the folding telescopic flexible connection 662 and the conical flexible connection are connected. Secure the connection 663 in place, then fix the three fixed semi-rings 667 and 668 to the outside of the conical flexible connector 663 with screws. Insert the connecting block 669 into the sliding pressure component 666, and fix the two together with bolts 6610 to facilitate subsequent coupling operations. This completes the installation of the middle flexible connector 65, the folding telescopic flexible connector 662, and the conical flexible connector 663. The other set of middle flexible connectors 65, folding telescopic flexible connectors 662, and conical flexible connectors 663 are installed in the same way. In subsequent operations, the upper conical flexible connector 663 connects to the sand pump, and the lower conical flexible connector 663 connects to the sand suction pipe. This method facilitates the disassembly and installation of the flexible connectors, greatly shortening operation time and simplifying later maintenance. The waterproof motor housing 661 drives the lead screw 665 to rotate within the fixed frame 664. Because the sliding pressure component 666 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 665 and slidably connected perpendicularly to the fixed frame 664, the rotation of the lead screw 665 causes the sliding pressure component 666 to move along the direction of the lead screw. The pressure-applying component 666 will drive the connecting block 669 to move, thereby causing the conical flexible connection 663, which is fixed in the fixed semi-ring 667 and the fixed semi-ring 668, to move. At the same time, the folding telescopic flexible connection 662 unfolds until the conical flexible connection 663 connects with the sand pump. Its conical design not only facilitates docking, but also improves the sealing performance due to the elasticity of its EPDM material, effectively reducing leakage and significantly improving sand lifting efficiency. The other docking component 66 operates in the same way to dock with the sand suction pipe, realizing dual docking of one device.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A winch 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the upright frame 1. A guide wheel 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the top of the upright frame 1 near the winch 7. A guide wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the upright frame 1. A rope 10 is set in the middle of the winch 7. A connecting ring 11 is movably sleeved on one end of the docking ring 5. One end of the rope 10 passes through the upright frame 1, the guide wheel 8, and the guide wheel 9 and is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 11. The winch 7 controls the lowering and raising of the coupling docking mechanism 6 by releasing or retracting the rope 10. During the process, the guide wheel 8 and the guide wheel 9 guide the direction of the rope 10 to ensure that the rope 10 is pulled normally. The connecting ring 11 connects the rope 10 and the docking ring 5 and is the intermediate component for force transmission, enabling the rope 10 to drive the coupling docking mechanism 6 to move.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, fixing half-ring one 63 and fixing half-ring two 64 are fixed to the outside of the central flexible connection 65 with screws. The central flexible connection 65 is fixed to the front of the fixed frame box 61 by connecting block one 62. At the same time, the folding telescopic flexible connection 662 and the conical flexible connection 663 are fixed. Then, fixing half-ring three 667 and fixing half-ring four 668 are fixed to the outside of the conical flexible connection 663 with screws. Connecting block two 669 is inserted into the sliding pressure member 666. The two are connected by bolt 66. 10. Fixing is done to facilitate subsequent coupling operations. This completes the installation of the middle flexible connection 65, the folding telescopic flexible connection 662, and the conical flexible connection 663. The other set of middle flexible connections 65, folding telescopic flexible connections 662, and conical flexible connections 663 are operated in the same way. In subsequent operations, the upper conical flexible connection 663 is connected to the sand pump, and the lower conical flexible connection 663 is connected to the sand suction pipe. This method facilitates the disassembly and installation of the flexible connections, greatly shortens the operation time, and facilitates later maintenance. Subsequently, the rope 10 is released by the winch 7, and the entire coupling docking mechanism 6 is lowered through the connecting ring 11, docking ring 5 and sliding connecting sleeve 4. Thus, the coupling docking mechanism 6 is lowered by its own gravity through the connection of the sliding connecting sleeve 4 and the slide rail upright 2 until it is in a horizontal state with the space between the sand pump and the sand suction pipe. Then, the motor 3 drives the slide rail upright 2 and the sliding connecting sleeve 4 to rotate, so that the entire coupling docking mechanism 6 can adjust its direction to adapt to docking requirements at different angles. Since the folding telescopic soft connection 662 is in a folded state at this time, the length of the sliding pressure component 666 is shortened, so that the entire coupling docking mechanism 6 after turning can be vertically positioned between the sand pump and the sand suction pipe, improving the flexibility of operation. At this time, the lead screw 665 is driven to rotate within the fixed frame 664 by the waterproof motor compartment 661. Since the sliding pressure component 666 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 665 and slidably connected perpendicularly to the fixed frame 664, the rotation of the lead screw 665 will drive the sliding pressure component 666 to move along the direction of the lead screw. The sliding pressure component 666 will drive the connecting block 2 669 to move, thereby causing the conical soft connection 663 fixed in the fixed half ring 3 667 and fixed half ring 4 668 to move. At the same time, the folding telescopic soft connection 662 unfolds until the conical soft connection 663 is connected to the sand pump. Its conical design not only facilitates docking, but also improves the sealing performance and effectively reduces leakage, significantly improving sand lifting efficiency, in conjunction with its own EPDM material which is elastic. The other docking component 66 is operated in the same way to dock with the sand suction pipe, realizing double docking of one device. The coupling of upstream and downstream pipelines can be completed without manual operation, thus completing the entire operation.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
