In addition, as shown in fig. 1, the slide rail 12 is parallel to the conductive rail group 13, so the extending direction L of the slide rail 12 is the same as the extending direction L of the conductive rail group 13.

The actuator 20 in the embodiment of the present application does not need to be connected to a cable or a tow chain, and only needs to supply power to the conductive rail set 13, and the conductive rail set 13 transmits the electric energy to the power supply module 32 through the sliding member 31, so that the power supply module 32 can more conveniently supply the electric energy to the actuator 20. Meanwhile, the installation of the track mechanism 10 can be free from the limitation of power supply equipment (such as a cable or a drag chain), and the installation of the conveying device 1 is more convenient.

Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the conductive track group 13 includes a copper track, and the sliding member 31 includes a copper roller.

It can be understood that the copper material has good conductivity, and the copper material has long service life and low cost, and the copper guide rail and the copper roller can have lower setting cost. In addition, the sliding member 31 is connected to the conductive rail set 13 in a sliding manner along the extending direction L of the conductive rail set 13, when the sliding member 31 is a roller, when the roller moves on the conductive rail set 13, rolling friction is generated between the roller and the conductive rail set 13, and the friction resistance between the roller and the conductive rail set 13 is small, so that the power supply mechanism 30 can move on the conductive rail set 13 more smoothly, the friction resistance causes less damage to the sliding member 31, and the service life of the sliding member 31 is longer.

With continued reference to fig. 1 to 2, in some embodiments of the present application, the actuator 20 includes a moving part 21 and an actuating part 22, the moving part 21 is slidably connected to the slide rail 12, and the moving part 21 has a bearing surface 211; the executing part 22 is arranged on the bearing surface 211; the moving part 21 is used for driving the executing part 22 to move along the slide rail 12.

The moving part 21 is a moving member in the actuator 20 and is slidably connected to the slide rail 12. In this embodiment, the specific connection manner of the moving part 21 and the sliding rail 12 is not limited, for example, the moving part 21 may have a slider, and the slider moves on the sliding rail 12 by friction lubrication between the slider and the sliding rail 12; for another example, the moving portion 21 may have a pulley, and two pulleys are disposed on two sides of the sliding rail 12 to realize the movement on the sliding rail 12; as another example, the moving part 21 may have a ball slider in which balls are in rolling engagement with the slide rail 12 to realize a movement on the slide rail 12. The executing part 22 is fixedly connected with the moving part 21, so that the moving part 21 can drive the executing part 22 to move on the slide rail 12, thereby changing the position of the executing part 22 so as to facilitate the executing part 22 to perform the moving operation. Specifically, the power supply module 32 may supply power to the moving part 21 so that the moving part 21 moves along the slide rail 12; alternatively, the power module 32 may also supply power to the implement 22 to cause the implement 22 to operate on the workpiece.

It can be understood that, when the sliding member 31 moves on the conductive track group 13, friction may be generated between the sliding member 31 and the conductive track group 13, and dust may be generated due to the friction, so that the embodiment of the present application provides an air extracting device for adsorbing the dust generated by the friction, thereby preventing the dust accumulation from adversely affecting the conductivity of the sliding member 31 or the conductive track group 13.

Referring to fig. 2 to 3, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the power supply module 32 further includes a transformer (not shown), the transformer is electrically connected to the sliding member 31, the moving portion 21 and the executing portion 22, and the transformer is configured to change a voltage to adapt to preset working voltages of the moving portion 21 and the executing portion 22.

It can be understood that the operating voltages of the moving part 21 and the executing part 22 may be the same voltage value or different voltage values, and in the embodiment of the present application, a transformer is provided, so that the voltage of the power supply module 32 can be changed by the transformer to adapt to different moving parts 21 and executing parts 22. For example, the preset operating voltage of the moving part 21 and the executing part 22 is 36V, and the voltage output by the power supply module 32 is 24V, the transformer can boost the voltage output by the power supply module 32 to 36V, and then transmit the boosted voltage to the moving part 21 and the executing part 22, so that the moving part 21 and the executing part 22 can operate normally.

In some embodiments of the present application, the actuator 20 includes an armature winding (not shown) electrically connected to the transformer; the slide rail 12 includes a magnet array (not shown) disposed along the extending direction L of the slide rail 12, and the magnet array and the armature winding drive the actuator 20 to move along the extending direction L of the slide rail 12 in a current excitation manner.

It is understood that the magnet array is coupled to the armature winding and generates a driving force under the excitation current of the armature winding, thereby pushing the entire actuator 20 to move along the extending direction L of the slide rail 12. The power supply unit 30 may supply alternating current to the armature winding via a transformer, so that the current supplied to the armature winding may generate current excitation.

Referring to fig. 2 to fig. 3, in some embodiments of the present application, the sliding member includes a plurality of sliding members 31 disposed at intervals on the conductive guide set 13, the power supply mechanism 30 further includes an insulating housing 33 and a tensioning device 37, the insulating housing 33 is covered on the sliding member 31 and the power supply module 32, and the insulating housing 33 is located on a side of the sliding member 31 and the power supply module 32 away from the conductive guide set 13; the tension device 37 is disposed between the insulating housing 33 and the sliding member 31, or the tension device 37 is disposed between the two sliding members 31.

It can be understood that, in the conveying device 1, the sliding member 31 and the power supply module 32 in the power supply mechanism 30 are always in the charged state during use, and in the embodiment of the present application, the insulating housing 33 is provided to prevent the sliding member 31 and the power supply module 32 from leaking electricity during use, so that the power utilization safety of a user is ensured. In addition, the insulating housing 33 can also block part of dust in the external environment, and prevent the sliding member 31 or the power supply module 32 from being adversely affected by long-term dust accumulation. As shown in fig. 1 to 2, taking the example that the conductive track group 13 includes the positive electrical track 13a and the negative electrical track 13b, a plurality of sliders 31 may be provided at intervals on the positive electrical track 13a or the negative electrical track 13b, of course, the sliders 31 may be provided on the positive electrical track 13a and the negative electrical track 13b, and here, specific mounting positions of the plurality of sliders 31 are not limited.

Further, referring to fig. 3, taking the tensioning device 37 disposed between the insulating housing 33 and the sliding member 31 as an example, in some embodiments of the present application, the power supply mechanism 30 further includes a conductive member 34, an elastic member 35 and a guiding rod 36, and the sliding member 31 is electrically connected to the power supply module 32 through the conductive member 34; one end of the elastic member 35 contacts the conductive member 34, and the other end of the elastic member 35 contacts the insulating housing 33, and the elastic member 35 is used to provide the sliding member 31 with an elastic force in a direction perpendicular to the conductive rail group 13.

It should be noted that the sliding member 31 conducts electricity by contacting with the conductive track group 13, and transmits the electric energy to the power supply module 32 through the conductive member 34; when the sliding member 31 needs to be contacted with the conductive rail set 13 for conduction, the elastic member 35 between the conductive member 34 and the insulating housing 33 is in a compressed state, the elastic member 35 has acting force on both the conductive member 34 and the insulating housing 33, so that the conductive member 34 can tightly press the sliding member 31, and the sliding member 31 abuts against the conductive rail set 13, so that the stability of the contact between the sliding member 31 and the conductive rail set 13 is ensured, thereby preventing the sequential power failure caused by poor contact, and further ensuring that the conduction of the sliding member 31 is more stable. The specific type of the elastic member 35 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the elastic member 35 may be a spring, or a spring tube.

The guide rod 36 is disposed between the conductive member 34 and the insulating housing 33, and extends along the elastic expansion direction of the elastic member 35, and the elastic member 35 is sleeved on the guide rod 36.

It should be noted that, when the sliding member 31 abuts against the conductive rail set 13, the elastic member 35 is compressed and deformed, and in order to avoid the displacement direction and position of the elastic member 35 from deviating, as shown in fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, the guide rod 36 is disposed between the conductive member 34 and the insulating housing 33, and the guide rod 36 can be slidably connected with the conductive member 34, for example, when the elastic member 35 is in an uncompressed state, the nut 361 is sleeved on the guide rod 36 to fix the guide rod 36 with the conductive member 34, and when the elastic member 35 is compressed and deformed, the guide rod 36 and the conductive member 34 move relatively; meanwhile, the elastic member 35 is sleeved on the guide rod 36, so that the elastic member 35 can only move in a telescopic manner along the direction of the guide rod 36, thereby preventing the elastic member 35 from being displaced in other directions. Taking the elastic element 35 as an example of changing from an uncompressed state to a compressed state, at this time, the guide rod 36 is slidably connected with the conductive element 34, the guide rod 36 moves relative to the conductive element 34, the elastic element 35 compresses, and the elastic force of the elastic element 35 is applied to the sliding element 31 to press the sliding element 31 against the conductive rail set 13. The material for manufacturing the guide rod 36 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and for example, the material for manufacturing the guide rod 36 may be metal, wood, or hard plastic.

Described above is the movement of the power supply mechanism 30 on the linear slide 12 and the set of conductive rails 13. Further, in some embodiments, when the sliding rail 12 and the conductive guide rail set 13 have both straight sections and arc sections, and when the power supply mechanism 30 runs to the arc sections, in some embodiments, when the power supply mechanism 30 is located at the inner arc of the arc sections, the elastic member 35 is further compressed, so that the sliding member 31 and the conductive guide rail 13 have a tighter fit effect; because the number of the sliding parts 31 is multiple, part of the sliding parts 31 can still be in contact with the conductive guide rail group 13 all the time to supply power to the actuating mechanism 20, so as to ensure the stability of the power supply mechanism 30 to the actuating mechanism 20; it can be understood that the elastic members 35 in the embodiment of the present application are independent of each other, and when the sliding members 31 move in arc segments at different arcs, the compression movement of each elastic member 35 does not interfere with each other, that is, different elastic members 35 may have different compression lengths, so that the sliding members 31 located at different positions may have better contact effect with the conductive track group 13.

In some embodiments, when the power supply mechanism 30 is located at the outer arc of the arc-shaped segment, the elastic element 35 in the compressed state is properly relaxed, that is, the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 35 is reduced, and the elastic element 35 located at the arc-shaped segment has a longer length than the elastic element 35 located at the straight line segment, so that the sliding element 31 and the conductive rail set 13 still have a more stable contact relationship, thereby ensuring the power supply stability of the power supply mechanism 30 to the actuator 20. Moreover, because the number of the sliding parts 31 is multiple, when the elastic part 35 cannot support part of the sliding parts 31 to contact the conductive guide rail set 13, part of the sliding parts 31 can still contact the conductive guide rail set 13 to supply power to the actuator 20, so as to ensure the stability of the power supply mechanism 30 in supplying power to the actuator 20; it can be understood that the elastic members 35 in the embodiment of the present application are independent of each other, and when the sliding members 31 move in arc segments at different arcs, the relaxation movements of the elastic members 35 do not interfere with each other, that is, different elastic members 35 may have different compression lengths, so that the sliding members 31 located at different positions may have better contact effects with the conductive track group 13.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4, taking the tension device 37 disposed between the two sliding members 31 as an example, in some embodiments, the elastic member 35 is connected to the two sliding members 31 disposed on the same conductive rail, so as to ensure that the distance between the two sliding members 31 is relatively stable. It can be understood that, when there are both straight segments and arc segments of the slide rail 12 and the conductive guide rail set 13, taking the movement of the sliding member 31 on the straight segments as an example: when the sliding member 31 is disposed on the straight line segment, the elastic member 35 between the two sliding members 31 is in a stretched state, and the pulling force of the elastic member 35 acting on the sliding member 31 causes the sliding member 31 to have a component force perpendicular to the conductive track group 13 and toward the conductive track group 13, that is, the elastic member 35 in the stretched state is disposed between the two sliding members 31, so that the sliding member 31 and the conductive track group 13 have a closer arrangement relationship, and the sliding member 31 can supply power to the actuator 20 more stably. When the sliding members 31 move on the arc-shaped segment, the elastic member 35 between the two sliding members 31 is still in a stretched state, so that the sliding members 31 can supply power to the actuator 20 more stably.

In some embodiments, the conductive member 34 is rotatably connected to a portion of the power supply module 32 to change the position of the sliding member 31, so that the sliding member 31 is always in close contact with the conductive track set 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the power supply mechanism 30 supplying power to the actuator 20. The present embodiment does not limit the rotating connection structure between the conductive member 34 and the power supply module 32, for example, the power supply module 32 is provided with a protruding rotating shaft, the conductive member 34 has a rotating hole, and the rotating of the conductive member 34 relative to the power supply module 32 is realized by the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the wall of the rotating hole; for another example, the power supply module 32 is connected to the conductive member 34 through a cross-shaped torsion spring flexible bearing, one bearing seat of the flexible bearing is fixedly connected to the conductive member 34, and the other bearing seat of the flexible bearing is fixedly connected to the power supply module 32, so that along with the relative rotation between the conductive member 34 and the power supply module 32, the torsion of the torsion spring in the flexible bearing is increased, and the relative rotation of the conductive member 34 with respect to the power supply module 32 is further prevented; further, it can be understood that the flexible bearing may constrain the position of the sliding element 31, and when the sliding element 31 is disposed on the conductive track group 13, the torsion spring in the flexible bearing is in a twisted state, so that the sliding element 31 may be disposed on the conductive track group 13 more tightly, and the power supply mechanism 30 can supply power to the actuator 20 stably; further, when the sliding member 31 moves on the inner ring of the arc-shaped segment, the torsion spring in the flexible bearing is further twisted, so that the sliding member 31 still has a stable contact relationship with the conductive guide rail set 13; when the sliding member 31 moves on the outer ring of the arc-shaped segment, the torsion spring torque in the flexible bearing is reduced, so that the sliding member 31 can slightly change the setting position relative to the power supply module 32, but the torsion spring in the flexible bearing still has the torque to ensure that the sliding member 31 has a stable contact relationship with the conductive guide rail group 13. Further, the torsion spring with different torsion can be replaced, so that the flexible bearing can be suitable for arc sections with different radians.

In some embodiments of the present application, the conductive track group 13 includes a plurality of groups, each group of conductive track groups 13 is configured to be applied with different voltages, each group of conductive track groups 13 includes a positive electrical track 13a and a negative electrical track 13b, and the positive electrical track 13a is electrically connected with the negative electrical track 13 b.

It can be understood that, as shown in fig. 1, the positive electrical rail 13a is electrically connected to the negative electrical rail 13b, so that each set of the conductive rail sets 13 forms a closed loop, and the power is supplied to the conductive rail set 13, and the positive electrical rail 13a and the negative electrical rail 13b are used for connecting different voltages, for example, the positive electrical rail 13a can be used for being connected with positive electricity, the negative electrical rail 13b can be used for being connected with negative electricity, and the power supply module 32 obtains electric energy from the conductive rail set 13 through the sliding member 31, so as to drive the actuator 20 to move.

The plurality of conductive rail sets 13 are used for applying different voltages, for example, the conductive rail sets 13 may be two sets, one set is a low voltage rail set, and the other set is a high voltage rail set; the conductive guide rail group 13 can also be three groups, one group is a low-voltage guide rail group, the other group is a medium-voltage guide rail group, and the other group is a high-voltage guide rail group; of course, the conductive track group 13 may also be four, five or more groups, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.
