Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of stacker crane track guiding devices, specifically a stacker crane overhead track guiding device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS), stacker cranes use overhead rail guides to achieve top limiting and anti-tipping, which, together with the ground rail system, forms a stable operating structure. Driven by external equipment, the cranes reciprocate along the overhead rails to complete the storage and retrieval of goods. The sliding components and guide wheels of the overhead rail guides require continuous lubrication to ensure operational accuracy, but lubrication issues often affect the stability of the equipment.

[0003] Traditional guide systems lack integrated automatic lubrication mechanisms, relying on manual, periodic lubrication. However, the overhead rails are installed at a high position, making manual maintenance not only inefficient but also posing safety hazards. Furthermore, manual lubrication makes it difficult to control the amount of oil, easily leading to insufficient lubrication, which can cause accelerated component wear and operational stalls. Utility Model Content

[0004] (I) Technical Issues

[0005] This utility model provides a stacker crane overhead rail guide device with integrated automatic lubrication function, which solves the problems of inconvenient maintenance and poor lubrication effect caused by the reliance on manual oiling in traditional guide devices.

[0006] (II) Technical Content

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a stacker crane overhead rail guide device, including a rail body, a T-shaped slide rail inside the rail body, the guide device being slidably disposed within the T-shaped slide rail, the guide device including a mounting base, a base for fixing to the top of the stacker crane being fixed at the lower end of the mounting base, the bottom of the mounting base being connected to the rail body through a sliding component, a lubricating oil tank being fixedly disposed at the upper end of the mounting base, a metering pump being connected to the bottom of the lubricating oil tank, a pipe port connecting to the outlet of the metering pump being provided at the upper end of the mounting base, an oil seepage port being provided inside the sliding component, an oil injection pipe connecting the pipe port and the oil seepage port being provided inside the mounting base, and guide wheels being rotatably disposed on both sides of the mounting base for rolling contact with the inner wall of the rail body.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide wheel has a concave arc cross-section, and the inner wall of the track body is fixedly provided with an arc-shaped convex rail that matches the guide wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a linear guide rail fixedly disposed on the bottom surface inside the track body, and a slider fixedly disposed on the bottom of the mounting base, the slider sliding along the linear guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the track body is provided with a long slot for the lubricating oil tank to extend and move.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the lubricating oil tank is provided with a tank cover with an air intake valve.

[0012] (III) Technical Effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: Through the integrated design of the lubricating oil tank, metering pump and oil injection pipeline, the sliding components can be periodically supplied with oil without the need for manual climbing operations, completely eliminating the safety hazards of high-altitude maintenance. The oil seepage port is located at the contact position between the slider and the linear guide rail, which can directly reach the lubrication position, reducing the waste of lubricating oil. Moreover, the lubricating oil tank moves with the mounting base, and can lubricate during the movement, realizing the lubrication operation throughout the entire stroke. The metering pump can control the amount of oil injected under the control of an external controller, avoiding insufficient or excessive lubrication and ensuring that the components are always in a good lubrication state.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 A stacker crane overhead rail guide device includes a rail body 1 with a T-shaped slide rail inside. The guide device is slidably disposed within the T-shaped slide rail. The guide device includes a mounting base 2. A base 3 for fixing to the top of the stacker crane is fixed at the lower end of the mounting base 2. The bottom of the mounting base 2 is connected to the rail body 1 via a sliding component 4. A lubricating oil tank 5 is fixed at the upper end of the mounting base 2. A metering pump 6 is connected to the bottom of the lubricating oil tank 5. A pipe port 7 connecting to the outlet of the metering pump 6 is provided at the upper end of the mounting base 2. An oil seepage port 8 is provided inside the sliding component 4. An oil injection pipe 9 connecting the pipe port 7 and the oil seepage port 8 is provided inside the mounting base 2. Guide wheels 10 are rotatably disposed on both sides of the mounting base 3, which roll in contact with the inner wall of the rail body 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the guide wheel 10 has a concave arc cross-section, and the inner wall of the track body 1 is fixedly provided with an arc-shaped convex rail 11 that is adapted to the guide wheel 10. The sliding component 4 includes a linear guide rail 41 fixedly disposed on the inner bottom surface of the track body 1, and also includes a slider 42 fixedly disposed on the bottom of the mounting base 2. The slider 42 slides along the linear guide rail 41.

[0026] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the upper end of the track body is provided with a long slot 12 for the lubricating oil tank 5 to extend and move, and the upper end of the lubricating oil tank 5 is provided with a tank cover 13 with an air intake valve.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This device stores lubricant in the lubricating oil tank 5, and uses the metering pump 6 to output a quantitative amount of lubricant under the command of the external controller. The lubricant is delivered to the oil seepage port 8 of the sliding component 4 through the pipe 7 and the oil injection pipe 9, and directly acts on the contact position between the slider 42 and the linear guide rail 41. Combined with the characteristic that the lubricating oil tank 5 moves synchronously with the mounting base 2, the sliding component 4 is fully lubricated during the movement of the stacker crane along the overhead rail.

[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] 1. Open the cover 13 with the air intake valve and add sufficient lubricant to the lubricating oil tank 5. Close the cover 13 and ensure it is sealed to complete the lubricating medium replenishment.

[0030] 2. The oil supply cycle and single oil injection volume of the metering pump 6 are preset through the external controller to adapt to the operation requirements of the stacker crane.

[0031] 3. When the preset oil supply time is reached or the stacker crane starts running, the external controller triggers the metering pump 6 to work. The metering pump 6 draws a fixed amount of lubricant from the lubricating oil tank 5 and delivers it to the pipe 7 through the outlet.

[0032] 4. The lubricant flows through the oil injection pipe 9 inside the mounting base 2 to the oil seepage port 8, and is directly dripped onto the contact part between the slider 42 and the linear guide rail 41 to achieve lubrication.

[0033] 5. When the stacker crane moves along the overhead track under the drive of the external drive equipment, the mounting base 2 drives the lubricating oil tank 5 and the metering pump 6 to move synchronously. The metering pump 6 continuously or intermittently supplies oil according to the preset program to ensure that the slider 42 and the linear guide rail 41 can be effectively lubricated throughout the entire stroke.

[0034] 6. After completing a single oil supply, the metering pump 6 automatically stops and waits for the next trigger signal to repeat the above oil supply process, continuously ensuring the lubrication effect of the sliding component 4.

[0035] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
