Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying devices, and in particular to a tire-driven self-propelled slide and conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of manufacturing and logistics, especially in automobile manufacturing, tire production, and large-scale warehousing and logistics centers, higher demands are being placed on the efficiency, safety, and automation level of material handling. Tires, as a typical large-sized, irregularly curved, relatively heavy, and fragile material, present numerous challenges in their handling, including how to avoid deformation and surface damage, and how to achieve efficient and stable automated transfer.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for transporting tire blanks during tire manufacturing are: overhead chain conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and roller / belt conveyor lines. While these methods are widely used, they all have certain limitations in terms of technology and performance.

[0004] The overhead conveyor system uses a trolley suspended on an elevated track to transport tire blanks. While this method can achieve continuous transport, improper hook design can lead to difficulties in hooking and unhooking, and longer transport times, affecting efficiency. Furthermore, if the contact area between the hook and the tire blank is not designed properly, it can easily damage the tire bead structure during loading and transport. Additionally, the overhead conveyor is prone to swaying during operation, which may cause the tire blank to collide with surrounding equipment, resulting in tire blank deformation and affecting the final quality of the tire.

[0005] Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) transportation relies on AGVs equipped with special fixtures or brackets to travel along planned paths according to scheduling instructions. The AGV's own driving stability control and the structural design of the special fixtures have extremely high requirements, which significantly increases the manufacturing cost of AGV equipment and supporting fixtures. At the same time, multi-vehicle collaboration and ground traffic management need to be considered, resulting in high control complexity and strict requirements for the on-site environment.

[0006] The contact problem between the roller / belt conveyor surface and the tire blank is difficult to completely solve. Rubber material on the tire blank surface may adhere to the conveyor surface, which not only affects the normal operation of the conveyor line, but also causes pollution or damage to the surface of the tire blank transported later. In addition, the application scenarios of this conveying method are obviously limited. It can usually only be used for short-distance transportation at horizontal or very small angles, and cannot achieve long-distance transfer.

[0007] In summary, existing embryo delivery methods have significant shortcomings in preventing embryo damage, achieving stable long-distance delivery, and controlling overall costs. There is an urgent need for a new delivery solution that can balance automation, operational reliability, economy, and adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example 1, refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a self-propelled tire slide, comprising: Base 1, base 1 is set horizontally; Track 2, with at least two tracks arranged parallel to each other on the top of base 1; The trolley 3 includes a support base 31, a top plate 32, and a wheel set 33. The support base 31 is provided with at least two and each corresponds to a track 2. Each end of the support base 31 is provided with a wheel set 33. Each wheel set 33 includes a wheel 331 and a guide wheel 332. The wheel 331 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support base 31 and rolls along the top of the track 2. There are two guide wheels 332. The two guide wheels 332 are rotatably connected to the support base 31 and roll along the track 2 on both sides respectively. The top plate 32 is horizontally connected to the top of the support base 31. The drive assembly 4 includes a timing belt 41, a drive source 42, and a timing pulley 43. The timing belt 41 is set on the base 1 parallel to the track 2. The drive source 42 is set at the bottom of the top plate 32. The output end of the drive source 42 is provided with a timing pulley 43 and is connected to the timing belt 41 through it.

[0024] This utility model discloses a self-propelled tire slide with a scientifically and rationally designed structure. The coordinated operation of all components ensures a stable and smooth tire transport process. The use of a synchronous belt 41 and a tensioning pulley guarantees reliable and stable power transmission, preventing slippage. The wheel assembly 33 of the trolley 3 includes wheels 331 and guide wheels 332. Wheels 331 reduce running friction, while guide wheels 332 prevent trolley deviation, ensuring smooth and precise trolley operation. Simultaneously, a position sensor 5 and a sensing element 6 enable real-time monitoring and precise control of the trolley's position, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and automation. The entire structure enables automatic tire transport and prevents tire blank damage. It is simple, compact, and has lower manufacturing and operating costs, making it highly practical.

[0025] In this embodiment, two tracks 2 are provided and symmetrically arranged on top of the base 1 along its length. Two support seats 31 are provided and respectively located on top of the two tracks 2. The top plate 32 is horizontally connected to the top of the two support seats 31 and together with the support seats 31 forms the frame of the trolley 3. Four sets of wheel sets 33 are provided and respectively located at both ends of each support seat 31. The frame can move stably along the tracks 2 through the guidance of the wheels 331 and guide wheels 332 of the four wheel sets 33. The top of the top plate 32 is provided with four wedge-shaped blocks 8 arranged in a ring array to form a bearing position for fixing the product. The synchronous belt 41 is arranged parallel to the tracks 2 on the base 1 and located between the two tracks 2. The drive source 42 is fixed to the bottom of the top plate 32 and connected to the synchronous belt 41 by two tensioning wheels. When the drive source 42 drives the synchronous belt pulley 43 to rotate, it can drive the trolley 3 to reciprocate along the tracks 2.

[0026] Reference Figures 2-6As shown, furthermore, a mounting plate 34 is provided at each end of the support base 31 by fasteners. Each mounting plate 34 has two extensions 341 located on both sides of the support base 31, and a guide wheel 332 is rotatably connected to each extension 341. Specifically, the main body of the mounting plate 34 is approximately triangular in shape and is connected to the end of the support base 31 by three fasteners arranged in a triangular pattern. The bottom of the main body of the mounting plate 34 has two extensions 341 arranged on both sides of the track 2. Each extension 341 is vertically connected to a connecting bolt extending to both sides of the track 2, and a guide wheel 332 is rotatably connected to each connecting bolt. The main function of the guide wheel 332 is to guide and limit the running direction of the trolley, preventing the trolley from deviating along the width direction of the track 2 during operation, ensuring that the trolley always runs in a straight line along the extension direction of the track 2. The two guide wheels 332 are located on both sides of the track 2 and roll in contact with the sides of the track 2. During the operation of the trolley, the guide wheels 332 can promptly correct the trolley's deviation trend, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the trolley's operation. It is conceivable that the detachable mounting plate 34 structure facilitates the maintenance and repair of the guide wheel 332.

[0027] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is provided at the bottom of the top plate 32, and the drive source 42 is connected to the mounting bracket. The output end of the drive source 42 is coaxially connected to the synchronous pulley 43, and a first tensioning pulley 44 and a second tensioning pulley 45 are rotatably connected to the mounting bracket, respectively located on both sides of the synchronous pulley 43. The synchronous belt 41 passes around the first tensioning pulley 44, the synchronous pulley 43, and the second tensioning pulley 45 in sequence. Specifically, the tensioning pulley can tension the synchronous belt 41. By adjusting the position of the tensioning pulley, the tension of the synchronous belt 41 can be changed to ensure that there is a suitable friction or engagement depth between the synchronous belt 41 and the synchronous pulley 43, so as to avoid slippage of the synchronous belt 41 during operation and ensure the reliability of power transmission. On the other hand, the tensioning pulley can change the direction of movement of the synchronous belt 41, so that the synchronous belt 41 can better cooperate with the synchronous pulley 43, and also guide the operation of the synchronous belt 41, reducing the vibration and noise of the synchronous belt 41 during operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the base 1 includes multiple sets of support columns spaced apart along the X-axis. Each support column set includes multiple support columns 11 spaced apart along the Y-axis and corresponding to a track 2. Each support column 11 has a support foot 12 installed at its bottom, and an angle-adjustable connecting plate 13 is connected to the side near the top of the support column 11. The connecting plate 13 is connected to the track 2. Specifically, each support column set includes two symmetrically arranged support columns 11, with a reinforcing rod connecting the two support columns 11. The support feet 12 are installed at the bottom of the support columns 11, and fasteners for connecting to the ground or mounting platform are provided on the support feet 12. Specifically, a connecting hole is vertically opened on the connecting plate 13, and it is connected to the side of the support column 11 at the connecting hole by a fastener. The connecting plate 13 can rotate around the fastener. At the same time, an arc groove 131 concentric with the connecting hole is also vertically opened on the connecting plate 13. A fastener is provided in the arc groove 131 to connect with the side of the support column 11 for pressing the connecting plate 13. In the actual installation process, since the flatness of the ground may vary, the installation height and level of the track 2 can be finely adjusted by adjusting the angle of the connecting plate 13 to ensure that the track 2 can be accurately leveled and to ensure the stability of the trolley running on the track.

[0029] Furthermore, the system includes position sensors 5, with multiple position sensors 5 arranged along one side of the track 2. A sensing element 6, which works in conjunction with the position sensors 5, is mounted on the support base 31. The multiple position sensors 5 are spaced apart along the length of the track 2, enabling multi-point detection of the trolley's position and achieving real-time monitoring of the trolley's running position.

[0030] Furthermore, a clamping seat 7 is provided at each end of the base 1. The clamping seat 7 includes a connecting seat 71, an upper clamping plate 72, and a lower clamping plate 73. The connecting seat 71 is installed on the base 1 by fasteners. The upper clamping plate 72 is horizontally connected to the connecting seat 71. The lower clamping plate 73 is connected in parallel to the bottom of the upper clamping plate 72 by multiple fasteners. The end of the synchronous belt 41 is clamped between the upper clamping plate 72 and the lower clamping plate 73. By fastening the upper clamping plate 72 and the lower clamping plate 73 with multiple fasteners, the end of the synchronous belt 41 can be reliably clamped, preventing the synchronous belt 41 from falling off or loosening during operation, and ensuring the installation stability and transmission reliability of the synchronous belt 41. The upper clamping plate 72 and the lower clamping plate 73 can be made of metal, and their surfaces in contact with the synchronous belt 41 can be provided with anti-slip textures or made of wear-resistant material to enhance the clamping effect of the synchronous belt 41 and avoid wear on the synchronous belt 41.

[0031] Furthermore, the top plate 32 is also provided with multiple wedge-shaped blocks 8 arranged in a circular array. The wedge-shaped blocks 8 form a bearing position for placing the tire, limiting the tire and ensuring the stability of the tire during the operation of the trolley. Specifically, the top plate 32 is provided with multiple oblong holes for connecting the wedge-shaped blocks 8. The wedge-shaped blocks 8 can be connected to the oblong holes by fasteners such as bolts.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 As shown, each track 2 is further provided with two stops 21 located near its two ends at the top. The main function of the stops 21 is to limit the travel of the trolley, preventing it from slipping off the tracks due to loss of control or other reasons during operation, thus avoiding equipment damage or safety accidents. The stops 21 can be made of high-strength metal and fixed to the top of the track 2 by welding or bolting. Their height and dimensions can be reasonably designed according to the structure and running speed of the trolley to ensure reliable limiting effect.

[0033] Furthermore, a bearing groove 9 parallel to the track is provided on the base 1, and the synchronous belt 41 extends along the bearing groove 9. Specifically, the bearing groove 9 (which can be a U-shaped groove) provides a stable installation and operating space for the synchronous belt 41, and can limit and protect the synchronous belt 41, preventing it from shifting or being damaged due to external factors during operation. It also makes the installation of the synchronous belt 41 more regular, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair.

[0034] In embodiment two, this utility model also discloses a conveying system, including a tire-propelled slide as in embodiment one.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description.
