In order to facilitate the barrier-free transportation of goods, the goods need to be transported overhead. The main structure of the conveying system generally comprises a main beam, and a plurality of movable pushing mechanisms are arranged on the main beam by depending on the main beam to realize the movement of the goods hanging rack along the trend of the main beam. The pushing mechanism is typically a drive chain that overlaps spaced sprockets and has push rods secured to it, the push rods being positioned perpendicular to the drive chain. The main beam is provided with a guide rail along the main dyeing direction, the hook on the goods hanger is hooked on the guide rail, the push rod extends to the guide rail, and the push rod is used for pushing the hook, so that the goods hanger can move on the guide rail under the pushing of the push rod. Because the length of girder is generally longer, and the girder adopts non-linear type to arrange moreover, if set up a drive chain along the trend of girder, then need set up a plurality of supporting wheels in drive chain's middle part position department to the curve trend of adaptation girder. In addition, if a whole drive chain is adopted, the reaction force of all goods hangers on the guide rail to the push rod is acted on the whole drive chain, the requirement on the strength of the drive chain is high, the drive chain is easy to be seriously stretched or even broken due to high-load work, and therefore the working stability of the conveying system is poor.

Detailed Description
In the figure, the goods rack driving device of the conveying system is used for driving goods racks to travel on the guide rails 5, and the structure comprises a main beam 6 and a driving chain 9. The girder 6 is aluminum alloy integrated into one piece spare, is equipped with rectangular form guide rail 5 on the girder 6, is provided with a plurality of spaced push rods 7 on the drive chain 9 perpendicularly, and push rod 7 is used for promoting the goods stores pylon and marchs on guide rail 5.
In order to reduce the reaction force of the goods hanging rack on the single driving chain 9, the main beams 6 are arranged in a sectional mode, and the end parts of two adjacent sections of the main beams 6 are arranged at intervals. Correspondingly, each section of main beam 6 is provided with a set of chain type driving mechanism, specifically, two ends of each section of main beam 6 are respectively rotatably provided with a chain wheel, a pair of chain wheels corresponds to a driving motor 2, the driving motor 2 is arranged at the end part of the main beam 6, the driving motor 2 is in transmission connection with one chain wheel, and two chain wheels on one section of main beam 6 are lapped with a closed driving chain 9. The guide rail 5 is flat and long, and the guide rail 5 is vertically arranged on the upper side of the main beam 6. The guide rail 5 is generally of an integral structure, the guide rail 5 is arranged according to the trend of the main beam 6, and each section of the main beam 6 is connected together by the guide rail 5. The goods stores pylon is in the direction of travel of guide rail 5, and two sets of adjacent chain drive mechanism are upper reaches drive section 1 and low reaches drive section 3 respectively, and the goods stores pylon advances to low reaches drive section 3 on guide rail 5 from upper reaches drive section 1.
The adjacent ends of the upstream driving section 1 and the downstream driving section 3 are both tilted upwards, and the guide rail 5 passes through the interval between the upstream driving section 1 and the downstream driving section 3. The guide rail 5 is arranged in a curved shape at the position of the end part where the upstream driving section 1 and the downstream driving section 3 are close to each other to adapt to the upwarping of the guide rail, that is, when the goods rack travels to the end part where the upstream driving section 1 and the downstream driving section 3 are close to each other, the push rod 7 on the driving chain 9 can drive the hook on the goods rack, so that the goods rack can smoothly pass through the interval between the upstream driving section 1 and the downstream driving section 3 on the guide rail 5. This results in the formation of a lifting section 11 and a lower sliding section 31 on the guide rail 5, the lifting section 11 being at a corresponding location on the upstream drive section 1 and the lower sliding section 31 being at a corresponding location on the downstream drive section 3. The push rod 7 on the drive chain 9 in the upstream drive section 1 extends to the end of the lift section 11, and the push rod 7 on the upstream drive section 1 is capable of pushing the goods rack to the end of the lift section 11, i.e. to the high point 8 position described below. The start end of the lower slide segment 31 is connected to the end of the lifting segment 11 at a high point 8, the high point 8 being located in the space between the upstream drive segment 1 and the downstream drive segment 3. The starting end and the end are also in accordance with the direction of travel of the goods hanger, in a functional section the goods hanger advancing from the starting end to the end.

The lifting section 11 of the guide rail 5 is parallel to the main beam 6 at the inner end of the upstream driving section 1, and the lower sliding section 31 is obliquely arranged. When the goods rack is pushed to the end position of the lifting section 11 by the push rod 7 on the upstream driving section 1, that is, the position of the high point 8, the goods rack slides down along the lower sliding section 31 under the inertia effect of gravity and speed applied to the goods rack.
One end of a section of main beam 6 is fixed with a plate-shaped mounting seat 4, and the driving motor 2 is connected and fixed on the mounting seat 4. A tensioning device is movably arranged on the mounting base 4, on which the drive chain 9 is bridged, and which is used to tension the drive chain 9 such that the drive chain 9 is in a moderately tensioned state.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the structure of the tensioning device comprises a tensioning wheel 20, and the driving chain 9 is lapped on the tensioning wheel 20. A pair of limiting rods 17 is fixed on the back of the mounting seat 4, and the sliding plate 16 is inserted in a sliding groove formed between the limiting rods 17.

A limit plate 13 is vertically fixed on the back of the mounting seat 4, and the guide rod 12 connected with the sliding plate 16 is inserted into a jack processed on the limit plate 13 with clearance. The two ends of the spring 14 sleeved on the guide rod 12 respectively act on the guide rod 12 and the limit plate 13, and the spring 14 urges the tension pulley 20 to move towards the direction for tensioning the driving chain 9 through the guide rod 12.
An adjusting nut 18 is connected to the guide rod 12 in a threaded manner, one end of the spring 14 is pressed against the adjusting nut 18, and the other end of the spring is pressed against the limiting plate 13. The operator can adjust the preload of the spring 14 by pulling the adjusting nut 18 with a wrench from the back side of the mounting seat 4, and the elastic force of the spring 14 directly reflects the tension of the tensioning wheel 20 on the driving chain 9. The operator can adjust the adjusting nut 18 according to the tension of the drive chain 9. A clamping nut 15 is further screwed to the outer side of the adjusting nut 18 on the guide bar 12, and after the adjusting nut 18 is adjusted, the clamping nut 15 is adjusted and clamped so that the clamping nut 15 is tightly attached to the adjusting nut 18, and the adjusting position of the adjusting nut 18 on the guide bar 12 is in a stable state. Of course, the adjusting nut 18 may be screwed on the other side of the limiting plate 13 on the limiting rod 17, and the relative position relationship between the guide rod 12 and the limiting plate 13 is changed by rotating the adjusting nut 18, so that the tensioning wheel 20 performs pull-type tensioning on the driving chain 9. A spring 14 may be provided between the adjusting nut 18 and the stopper plate 13 to achieve flexible tensioning of the drive chain 9 by the tensioning wheel 20.
