Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing guide rail type conveying systems require complex installation processes due to the need for adjusting the length of the conveyer belt to match the guide rail, and existing solutions for curtain systems do not adequately address this issue.
Innovation Solution
An electric guide rail type conveying system with a conveying member that is preassembled on rotating members in the factory, allowing for easy installation by winding the member on guide wheels during setup, utilizing a structure with rotating members that generate elastic resilience to adapt to different lengths and facilitate tensioning and loosening of the belt.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the conveyer belt length is adjusted to match different guide rail lengths, then the system can adapt to various installation requirements, but the installation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The conveyer belt is pre-assembled on rotating members in the factory with appropriate lengths before installation. During installation, the pre-assembled belt is simply wound around the guide wheels, eliminating the need for complex on-site length adjustments and making the installation process simple and quick while maintaining adaptability to different guide rail lengths
Solution Approach 2:
The conveyer belt system is divided into modular segments that can be independently assembled on rotating members. Each segment can be separately installed and adjusted, allowing flexible configuration for different guide rail lengths without requiring complex overall adjustments
2Ease of operation
If the conveyer belt is preassembled in the factory, then installation is simplified, but the belt must accommodate varying lengths through elastic deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The conveyer belt is designed with elastic deformation capability that allows it to change its effective length parameter. When wound around guide wheels of different sizes or configurations, the belt elastically deforms to accommodate varying lengths while maintaining continuous operation, enabling both easy installation and adaptability
3Ease of operation
If multiple rotating members are used to wind the conveyer belt, then tensioning and loosening are facilitated, but the transmission case structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple rotating members are integrated into a single transmission case structure, combining several functions (tensioning, loosening, belt storage) into one unified component. This merging approach facilitates easy operation while minimizing the increase in overall structural complexity

Implementation Method 1
one end of the conveying member being elastically deformably wound on the first rotating member in a first winding direction; a second rotating member rotatably disposed on the main transmission case body and spaced apart from the first rotating member, an axial direction of the second rotating member being basically parallel with an axial direction of the first rotating member, the other end of the conveying member being elastically deformably wound on the second rotating member in a second winding direction opposite to the first winding direction

AI summary
An electric guide rail type conveying system comprises a driving motor, a guide rail, a main transmission case, an auxiliary transmission case, a conveying member, and a moving trolley. Both ends of the conveying member are elastically deformably wound on the first rotating member and the second rotating member of a main transmission case body in two opposite winding direction. Before installation, the conveying member is basically wound on the first rotating member and the second rotating member. When a relative outer portion of the conveying member wound on the first rotating member is separated from the rotating member, a first elastic resilience opposite to one of the two opposite winding direction is generated; with the increase of a portion, separated from the first rotating member, of the conveying member, the first elastic resilience will increase; otherwise, the first elastic resilience will decrease.
