Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of guide rail conveying equipment, and in particular relates to a guide rail conveying equipment for conveying lightweight objects. Background Technology

[0002] The background information related to this utility model provided in this section may not all be prior art, and may contain content that does not constitute prior art.

[0003] Currently, the smart home industry is booming. How to achieve electrification and intelligence in indoor homes has become a focus of attention.

[0004] To facilitate the movement and control of home furnishings, an electric guide rail movement technology is employed. This guide rail movement technology mainly includes a guide rail, a transmission component, a main transmission mechanism, a secondary transmission mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The main transmission mechanism is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism. The transmission component is mounted on the guide rail and has several moving trolleys. These trolleys are used to move objects suspended on the guide rail that need to be moved (such as curtains, lights, etc.). The transmission component moves within the guide rail through the main and secondary transmission mechanisms located at both ends of the guide rail, and the moving trolleys move along with the transmission component.

[0005] Currently, the drive mechanism is either integrated with the main drive mechanism or mounted on a mounting bracket (not shown in the figure) for installing the electric guide rail conveyor, which is usually located at the top of the building where the electric guide rail conveyor is installed; alternatively, the drive mechanism and the main drive mechanism are two independent mechanisms. Because the drive mechanism is much heavier than the main drive mechanism, multiple screws are needed to securely connect the heavier drive mechanism to the lighter main drive mechanism. This makes disassembling the drive mechanism quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0166] The present invention will be described below with reference to several examples. It should be understood that these embodiments are described in order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the present invention, and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present invention.

[0167] Electric guide rail conveyors are devices used to transport relatively lightweight external objects (such as curtains, small lamps, etc.). In addition to being applicable to the smart home field, they may also be suitable for other fields with similar needs.

[0168] The main structure of the electric guide rail conveyor includes: guide rail, transmission component, moving vehicle, drive mechanism, main transmission mechanism, and auxiliary transmission mechanism.

[0169] The transmission component can be made of flexible material (such as rope, narrow cloth belt, etc.). The transmission component is wound around the guide rail, main transmission mechanism, and auxiliary transmission mechanism.

[0170] Its working principle is as follows: the drive mechanism drives the main transmission mechanism to move the transmission component forward or backward in the direction it is wound, so that several moving vehicles connected to the transmission component can move in the same direction as the moving part of the transmission component that cooperates with the moving vehicle.

[0171] In current main transmission mechanisms, the arrangement of the rotating wheels that cooperate with the transmission component means that the drive power of the selected drive mechanism must be compatible with the weight of the external object that needs to be moved. In other words, selecting a drive mechanism with relatively low drive power may result in a situation where it cannot move the external object. As is well known, the larger the drive power of the drive mechanism, the greater its size and weight will be.

[0172] The above situation may lead to the following phenomena: the electrical energy consumed by the drive mechanism will increase exponentially during operation; the presence of an energy storage device means an increase in the size and weight of the energy storage device; the increase in the size and weight of the drive mechanism and energy storage device will increase the installation strength requirements of the electric guide rail conveyor, and correspondingly, increase the requirements for the installation materials and their structure.

[0173] How to enable the movement of a relatively heavier external object with the existing drive power (i.e., without replacing the existing drive mechanism) is a problem that this utility model may want to solve.

[0174] To address the aforementioned potential problems, one embodiment of this utility model is innovative in its main transmission mechanism.

[0175] Main drive mechanism

[0176] An example of this main drive mechanism, such as Figure 9 , 10 As shown, it includes a main transmission housing 210, a main rotating shaft 221 as the main transmission component, a main rotating wheel 222 and a main rotating groove 223 for the transmission component, a first auxiliary rotating shaft 231 as the first auxiliary rotating component, a first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 and a first auxiliary rotating groove for the transmission component, and a second auxiliary rotating shaft 241 as the second auxiliary rotating component, a second auxiliary rotating wheel 242 and a second auxiliary rotating groove 243 for the transmission component.

[0177] like Figure 9 , 10As shown, the main rotating shaft 221, the first auxiliary rotating shaft 231 and the second auxiliary rotating shaft 241 are arranged in parallel with each other at intervals along the height direction of the main transmission housing 210.

[0178] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the main rotating wheel 222 for the transmission component, which is coaxially mounted on the main rotating shaft 221, the first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 for the transmission component, which is coaxially mounted on the first auxiliary rotating shaft 231, and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 242 for the transmission component, which is coaxially mounted on the second auxiliary rotating shaft 241, do not contact each other.

[0179] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the main rotating groove 223 of the transmission component is formed on the outer circumferential side of the main rotating wheel 222 of the transmission component, the first auxiliary rotating groove 233 of the transmission component is formed on the outer circumferential side of the first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 of the transmission component, and the second auxiliary rotating groove 243 of the transmission component is formed on the outer circumferential side of the second auxiliary rotating wheel 242 of the transmission component.

[0180] The flexible transmission element (not shown in the figure) is simultaneously wound around the main rotation groove 223, the first auxiliary rotation groove 233, and the second auxiliary rotation groove 243 of the transmission element. The flexible transmission element is symmetrically wound around the main rotation groove 223, the first auxiliary rotation groove 233, and the second auxiliary rotation groove 243 of the transmission element. One side of the flexible transmission element extends from the first auxiliary rotation groove 233 of the transmission element, and the other side extends from the second auxiliary rotation groove 243 of the transmission element. Then, they enter the guide rail (not shown in the figure) together and are arranged in parallel. During operation, the main rotating groove 223 of the transmission component is driven by the driving mechanism to rotate. While rotating, it drives the flexible transmission component wrapped around it to move. The moving flexible transmission component in turn drives the rotation of the first auxiliary rotating groove 233 and the second auxiliary rotating groove 243 of the transmission component. One side of the flexible transmission component moves into the first auxiliary rotating groove 233 of the transmission component, while the other side moves out of the second auxiliary rotating groove 243 of the transmission component, or vice versa.

[0181] It should be noted that by setting the first auxiliary rotating component and the second auxiliary rotating component, the contact surface with the flexible transmission component is increased. This can effectively reduce the force required by the drive mechanism on the flexible transmission component, thereby making it possible to reduce the drive power required by the drive mechanism.

[0182] During operation, the portions of the flexible transmission member that are wound around the main rotating groove 223, the first auxiliary rotating groove 233, and the second auxiliary rotating groove 243 of the transmission member do not contact each other. This reduces the potential efficiency reduction that may occur when the flexible transmission member moves due to the contact between its various parts. Otherwise, to achieve the same efficiency, it may be necessary to increase the power of the drive mechanism.

[0183] To ensure smooth movement of the flexible transmission component, the main rotating component, the first auxiliary rotating component, and the second auxiliary rotating component can be symmetrically positioned with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the guide rail. This also ensures that the portions of the flexible transmission component that are wound around the main rotating component, the first auxiliary rotating component, and the second auxiliary rotating component are symmetrically positioned with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the guide rail.

[0184] In another example, the first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 242 of the transmission component are substantially the same size and shape, so that they are also symmetrically arranged about the extension of the longitudinal center line of the guide rail. Because the first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 242 are substantially the same size and shape, it is also possible for the first auxiliary rotating groove 233 and the second auxiliary rotating groove 243 of the transmission component to be substantially the same size and shape. This makes the force on the portion of the flexible transmission component moving into or out of the first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 more likely to be closer in magnitude to the force on the portion moving into or out of the second auxiliary rotating groove 243. This makes it possible to further improve the smoothness of the movement of the flexible transmission component.

[0185] In another example, the size and shape of the main rotating wheel 222 of the transmission component are substantially the same as those of the first main rotating wheel 224 for transmission and the first auxiliary rotating wheel 232 for the transmission component; that is, the three are structures with substantially the same size and shape. This makes it possible to make the main rotating groove 223, the first auxiliary rotating groove 233, and the second auxiliary rotating groove 243 of the transmission component substantially the same in size and shape. This makes it possible to further improve the smoothness of the movement of the flexible transmission component.

[0186] In an example of a main drive housing, such as Figure 10 , 16As shown in Figure 18, the main drive housing 210 is symmetrically arranged along its longitudinal center line. At this time, the main drive housing 210 and the longitudinal center line of the guide rail are basically on the same straight line. This makes it relatively convenient and quick to check whether the main drive housing 210 and the guide rail are installed correctly.

[0187] Additionally, in one example, such as Figure 16 , 17 As shown in Figure 18, the main rotating component also includes a main rotating bearing 225, which is mounted on a bearing mounting hole provided on the main transmission housing 210. The main rotating bearing 225 mates with the main rotating shaft 221. In this way, the main rotating shaft 221 can be constrained in the radial direction by the main rotating bearing 225 when it rotates, thereby improving the stability of its rotation.

[0188] Additionally, in one example, such as Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the main rotating shaft 221, the main rotating wheel 222 for transmission, and the main rotating wheel 224 for the first transmission are made of engineering plastics, which can be integrally molded by extrusion equipment. This not only facilitates manufacturing but also makes installation easier.

[0189] Additionally, in one example, such as Figure 16 As shown, a second transmission gear shaft 226 is also provided at one end of the main rotating shaft 221, which meshes with the output end of the drive mechanism. The second transmission gear shaft 226 is also made of engineering plastic and can be integrally formed with the main rotating shaft 221, the main rotating wheel 222 for transmission, and the first transmission main rotating wheel 224 by an extrusion machine.

[0190] Additionally, in one example, a barrier for the transmission element is also provided, such as... Figure 9 , 10 As shown, one example of the barrier for the transmission component is a cylindrical barrier post 251 disposed within the main transmission housing 210. It serves to prevent the moving flexible transmission component from contacting the inner side of the main transmission housing. The barrier post 251 is made of an alloy material, and at least the contact surface on its surface that contacts the flexible transmission component is a smooth, arc-shaped surface. This reduces the losses caused by friction between the barrier post 251 and the moving flexible transmission component.

[0191] like Figure 11 , 12 As shown, one example of the barrier used for the transmission component also includes several arc-shaped enclosure portions 252 provided on the inner side of the top cover 214 on the main transmission housing 210.

[0192] Another example of this main drive mechanism, such as Figure 11 , 12 As shown, the main rotating component in the main transmission mechanism further includes: a first main rotating wheel 224 with a gear structure; a first auxiliary rotating component further includes a first auxiliary rotating wheel 234 with a gear structure; and a second auxiliary rotating component further includes a second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 with a gear structure.

[0193] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the first main rotating wheel 224 for transmission is meshed with the first auxiliary rotating wheel 234 and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 for transmission, respectively, while the first auxiliary rotating wheel 234 and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 for transmission are not in contact with each other.

[0194] During operation, the first transmission main rotating wheel 224 rotates synchronously and in the same direction as the transmission component main rotating wheel 222, the first transmission first auxiliary rotating wheel 234 rotates synchronously and in the same direction as the transmission component first auxiliary rotating wheel 232, and the first transmission second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 rotates synchronously and in the same direction as the transmission component second auxiliary rotating wheel 242. Driven by the drive mechanism, the first transmission main rotating wheel 224 drives the first transmission first auxiliary rotating wheel 234 and the first transmission second auxiliary rotating wheel 244, which mesh with it, to rotate synchronously and in the same direction.

[0195] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first main rotating wheel 224, the first auxiliary rotating wheel 234, and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 for the first transmission makes it possible to increase the torque on the flexible transmission component without increasing the power of the drive structure. Furthermore, the meshing configuration of the first main rotating wheel 224 with the first auxiliary rotating wheel 234 and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 improves the stability and operational control precision of the main rotating component, the first auxiliary rotating component, and the second auxiliary rotating component when rotating around their respective axes.

[0196] In one example, such as Figure 9 , 10As shown, the first main rotating wheel 224, the first auxiliary rotating wheel 234, and the second auxiliary rotating wheel 244 for the first transmission are basically the same in size and shape. That is, the size, shape, and number of teeth on the first main rotating wheel 224 are basically the same as those on the first auxiliary rotating wheels 234 and 244. Thus, the force on the side of the flexible transmission member entering the first auxiliary rotating member is basically the same as the force on the side of the flexible transmission member leaving the second auxiliary rotating member. This makes it possible to improve the smoothness of the flexible transmission member's movement.

[0197] It should be noted that the aforementioned drive mechanism can be directly installed within the main drive mechanism; it can also be installed on a mounting bracket (not shown in the figure) for installing the electric guide rail conveying device, which is usually located at the top of the building where the electric guide rail conveying device is installed; or the drive mechanism and the main drive mechanism can be two independent mechanisms. Since the weight of the drive mechanism is much greater than that of the main drive mechanism, multiple screws are required to secure the heavier drive mechanism to the lighter main drive mechanism.

[0198] In reality, since the drive mechanism is the most likely component to malfunction in the electric guide rail conveying device, it is the main mechanism that needs to be disassembled during maintenance. However, the aforementioned arrangement of the drive mechanism and the main transmission mechanism makes it very inconvenient to disassemble the drive mechanism.

[0199] To solve the problem of cumbersome disassembly and assembly of the drive mechanism, another embodiment of this utility model has the innovation of setting a drive mechanism engagement component between the main transmission mechanism and the drive mechanism.

[0200] It should be noted that the internal structure of the main transmission mechanism described here can be the main transmission mechanism in one embodiment of the present invention discussed above, or it can be an existing structure, that is, a case in which only the main rotating wheel for the transmission component is provided, without the first auxiliary rotating component and the second auxiliary rotating component.

[0201] An example of a drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figures 13 to 22 As shown, it includes a plate-shaped locking movable plate 311, an elongated hole-shaped movable component moving direction position limiting hole 321 opened on the plate-shaped locking movable plate 311, a limiting screw 323, a locking control block 341, a main locking neck 351, a main locking head 352, and a secondary locking slot 363.

[0202] The neck 351 of the main card holder is located on the card holder movable plate 311, and the head 352 of the main card holder is located on the neck 351 of the main card holder.

[0203] When the card-connecting movable plate 311 is provided on the main transmission housing 210, the limiting screw 323 is also provided on the main transmission housing 210, and the auxiliary card-connecting slot 363 is provided on the corresponding drive housing 110; when the card-connecting movable plate 311 is provided on the drive housing 110, the limiting screw 323 is also provided on the drive housing 110, and the auxiliary card-connecting slot 363 is provided on the corresponding main transmission housing 210.

[0204] By manipulating the card-operated control block 341, the card-operated movable plate 311 can be pushed or pulled to move forward or backward along the longitudinal direction of the electric guide rail conveying device.

[0205] The length of the movable component moving direction position limiting hole 321 is the moving range of the card-connecting movable plate 311. The rod of the limiting screw 323 is located in the movable component moving direction position limiting hole 321. When the card-connecting movable plate 311 moves along the longitudinal direction of the electric guide rail conveying device to the starting position or the ending position, the rod of the limiting screw 323 plays the role of limiting the card-connecting movable plate 311 from continuing to move.

[0206] When the card-using movable plate 311 is in the starting position, the main card-using head 352 engages with the secondary card-using slot 363; when the card-using movable plate 311 is in the ending position, the main card-using head 352 disengages from the secondary card-using slot 363.

[0207] It should be noted that the movable plate 311 of the card-connecting mechanism is a structure of a movable component of the card-connecting mechanism. The rod of the movable component with the moving direction position limiting hole 321 and the limiting screw 323 is a structure of a moving direction position limiting component of the movable component. The head of the limiting screw 323 is a structure of a height direction limiting component of the movable component. The card-connecting control block 341 is a structure of a card-connecting control component. The main card-connecting neck 351 and the main card-connecting head 352 are a structure of a main card-connecting component of the card-connecting mechanism. The secondary card-connecting slot 363 is a structure of a secondary card-connecting component of the card-connecting mechanism. Of course, other structures can also be used as needed.

[0208] Another example of this drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figure 13 , 14 As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the number of the main card holder neck 351, the main card holder head 352, and the secondary card holder slot 363 are each a pair, and the above pairs are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the electric guide rail conveying device.

[0209] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking assembly, wherein the movable component has multiple movement direction position limiting holes 321 and limiting screws 323, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0210] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking assembly also includes a resilient return spring for locking (not shown in the figure).

[0211] When the card-operated movable plate 311 is in the initial position, the card-operated elastic return spring is in an undeformed state. During the process of moving the card-operated movable plate 311 from the initial position along the longitudinal direction of the electric guide rail conveying device towards the termination direction by manipulating the card-operated control block 341, the card-operated elastic return spring undergoes a gradual increase in elastic deformation. After the card-operated control block 341 loses the externally applied force, the elastic restoring force of the card-operated elastic return spring causes the card-operated movable plate 311 to return to the initial position. That is, with the card-operated elastic return spring present, the card-operated movable plate 311 can automatically return to its original position without requiring manipulation of the card-operated control block 341.

[0212] This locking elastic return spring is one type of locking elastic return component, but it can also be other types as needed, such as a columnar structure made of elastic material.

[0213] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figures 17 to 22 As shown, it also includes a mounting hole 381 for elastic reset.

[0214] The elastic reset mounting hole 381 is formed on the locking movable plate 311 along the longitudinal direction of the electric guide rail conveying device, and the locking elastic reset spring is disposed in the elastic reset mounting hole 381. This reduces the probability of the locking movable plate 311 shifting due to the elastic restoring force of the locking elastic reset spring under elastic deformation.

[0215] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figures 17 to 22 As shown, there is a pair of elastic reset mounting holes 381 and a pair of locking elastic reset springs, which are respectively located on the lateral sides of the locking movable plate 311.

[0216] This not only increases the ability of the card-sharing active plate 311 to quickly return to its original position, but also reduces the probability that the card-sharing active plate 311 will fail to return to its initial position during the returning process.

[0217] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figure 13 , 14As shown, the card-connecting sub-card-connecting component also includes a sub-card-connecting neck (not shown in the figure) and a sub-card-connecting head 362. The sub-card-connecting head 362 is disposed on the sub-card-connecting neck.

[0218] The auxiliary card engaging neck is located on the drive housing 110 or the main transmission housing 210, which is correspondingly arranged with the main card engaging neck 351. That is, when the card engaging movable plate 311 is located on the main transmission housing 210, the engaging neck 361 is located on the drive housing 110, and when the card engaging movable plate 311 is located on the drive housing 110, the main card engaging neck 351 is located on the main transmission housing 210.

[0219] When the card is engaged, the main card engaging head 352 extends into the secondary card engaging slot 363 and engages with the secondary card engaging head 362.

[0220] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figure 13 , 14 As shown in Figures 15 and 19, the main card engaging head 352 and the auxiliary card engaging head 362 each include an inclined side and a horizontal side. During engagement, the inclined side of the main card engaging head 352 slides into the auxiliary card engaging slot 363 along the inclined side of the auxiliary card engaging head 362. Finally, the horizontal side of the main card engaging head 352 engages with the horizontal side of the auxiliary card engaging head 362. During disengagement, the inclined side of the main card engaging head 352 slides out along the inclined side of the auxiliary card engaging head 362.

[0221] The inclined sides on the main card engaging head 352 and the secondary card engaging head 362 mentioned above reduce the resistance during engaging and disengaging, and facilitate the engaging and disengaging operations.

[0222] It should be noted that the neck of the sub-card holder can be omitted, and the head 362 of the sub-card holder can be directly set on the edge of the sub-card slot 363.

[0223] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the drive mechanism is snapped onto the underside of the main drive mechanism.

[0224] This means that the drive mechanism is now closer to the operator below it, making it easier for the operator to operate.

[0225] Furthermore, the card-sharing movable plate 311 is mounted on the main transmission housing 210, and the free end of the card-sharing control block 341 extends out from the bottom of the main transmission housing 210. This allows the operator to control the card-sharing control block 341 from a more comfortable position.

[0226] Another example of the drive mechanism using a locking component, such as Figure 15 , 16 As shown in Figures 17 and 18, the main drive housing 210 is provided with a first mounting cavity 211 and a second mounting cavity 212. The first mounting cavity 211 is located above the second mounting cavity 212.

[0227] The card-mounted movable plate 311 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 211, and the second mounting cavity 212 is used for the insertion of a part of the drive mechanism.

[0228] The size and shape of the cross-section of the portion of the drive mechanism that inserts into the second mounting cavity 212 are adapted to the size and shape of the cross-section of the second mounting cavity 212.

[0229] The aforementioned second mounting cavity 212 serves to provide circumferential restriction for the drive mechanism. As is well known, the drive mechanism will inevitably vibrate during operation. With the second mounting cavity 212, the probability of accidental detachment of the main card engaging / disengaging component and the secondary card engaging / disengaging component can be reduced.
