Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a guide rail support device for a traveling body, in which both ends of a pair of parallel guide rails of a traveling body are slid in the directions in which the pair of guide rails approaches and separates, respectively, by a support mechanism and a support body. By movably supporting the guide rail, the guide rail can be moved to a desired position, and the height at which the guide rail is supported by the support body can be changed without changing the height at which the guide rail is supported by the support mechanism. It is an object of the present invention to provide a guide rail support device for a traveling body that allows the inclination of the guide rail to be adjusted extremely easily by configuring the device.

For example, a water heater that uses solar heat to produce hot water is constructed by covering the top of a rectangular three-dimensional container with a transparent glass plate. This type of solar water heater is usually manufactured by gluing, for example, hot melt or the like to the gluing points on the four sides of the top opening of the container, pressing a glass plate from above after gluing, and adhesively fixing the glass plate to the container.

In this type of gluing device, for example, a guide rail is fixedly installed in a part of the device, a gluing gun is attached to a slider within the guide rail, and the gluing point of the container is applied along the displacement path of the gluing gun. There is a known structure in which a glue gun is used to apply glue to the glued area as the slider moves. However, with this product, the guide rail is fixed at both ends, so if the size of the container to be glued is different, it is necessary to shift the position of the container to align the glued area with the guide rail. Therefore, the work is very troublesome, and if the running surface of the guide rail is sloped with respect to the gluing surface,
There were drawbacks such as the inclination cannot be easily corrected and the work takes too much time.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
3 to 3 are a plan view, a front view, and a side view of an embodiment of a gluing device to which a guide rail support device for a traveling body according to the present invention is applied, and FIG. 4 is an embodiment of an embodiment of a guide rail. The vertical cross-sectional views of FIGS. 5 to 7 are taken along lines X-X, Y-Y, and Z in FIG. 4, respectively.
- Shows an arrow view along the Z line.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, a gluing device 1 is a device for gluing the adhesive surface of a glass plate on the upper surface of a rectangular three-dimensional container 2, which is the main body of a solar water heater. In the case of this embodiment, the container 2 has four sides 2 of its top opening.
It is necessary to glue a, 2b, 2c, and 2d.
For this purpose, two glue guns 3a, 3b are attached to sliders 5a, 5b which are slidably provided on guide rails 4a, 4b along two opposing sides of the container 2. Moreover, the container 2 is formed on four sides 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d by one reciprocating displacement of the glue guns 3a, 3b.
After being carried into the gluing device 1 by the carrying roller conveyor 6 so as to be able to glue it, it is placed on the turntable 7 at the center of the gluing device 1. After the two sides 2a and 2b are glued by the forward movement of the glue guns 3a and 3b, the turntable 7 rotates about 90 degrees together with the container 2, and the remaining two sides 2a and 2b are glued together.
The orientation of the container 2 is changed so that the glue guns 3a and 2d are glued by the back movement of the glue guns 3a and 3b.

Here, since the pair of guide rails 4a and 4b that are parallel to each other have the same configuration, one of the guide rails 4a will be explained below as an example.

In the case of this embodiment, the guide rail 4a is the fourth,
As shown in Fig. 5, a pair of rail members 8 and 9 made of lightweight section steel having a roughly U-shaped cross section are arranged to face each other, and both ends of the rail members 8 and 9 are fixed by frames 10 and 11, respectively. ing. Inside the guide rail 4a, both ends of stays 12 are fixed to the inner walls of the rail members 8 and 9 at several locations at appropriate intervals. At the center of the lower surface of the stay 12,
A square post 13 for guiding the slider is fixed along the running direction, and three rollers 14 provided on the top of the slider 5a are positioned on one side of the square post 13 and one on the other side to move the square post 13 on both sides. It has started to be held in place. Two rollers 15 are supported on both sides of the slider 5a, and these rollers 15 roll on prisms 16 and 17 for slider guides fixed along the inner walls of the rail members 8 and 9, respectively. . Therefore, the weight of the slider 5a is supported by the four rollers 15, and the running direction is regulated by the three rollers 14.

The frame body 10 at the right end in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the guide rail 4a is fitted into a positioning pin 19 at the center of the upper surface of the truck 18, as shown in FIG.
0,21 to the truck 18. This trolley 18 is moved in the carrying direction of the container 2 (slider 5a
A pair of guide rails 4a substantially orthogonal to the running direction of the
4b is supported by three guide rollers 23 on a cylindrical guide column 22 provided along the direction of approach and separation. In the case of this embodiment, each guide roller 23 has a top shape, and the guide column 22
is held between the two guide rollers 23 and the remaining one guide roller 23 from above and below.

Therefore, the guide rail 4a can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise in FIG. 2 around the guide column 22 without disengaging the guide roller 23 from the guide column 22. here,
A support mechanism is constituted by the guide column 22, three guide rollers 23, and the like. 24 is a cylinder for moving the guide rail 4a close to and away from the other guide rail 4b at a desired distance.

As shown in FIG. 6, one end of a roller support arm 25 is rotatably supported in the frame 11 at the left end of the guide rail 4a, and a roller 26 supported on the other end of the arm 25 is rotatably supported. , rolls on a guide base 27 serving as a support parallel to the guide column 22. 28 is the frame 11 for the guide base 27
This adjustment screw is threaded through a part of the frame 11 to adjust the height of the frame 11, and the larger the screwing amount of this adjustment screw 28, the larger the height of the frame 11 is set. .

The container 2 carried onto the turntable 7 of the gluing device 1 is placed on a guide rail 4a and a guide rail 4b.
Located approximately in the middle of At this time, the distance between the guide rails 4a and 4b is set in advance to an appropriate distance by driving the cylinder 24, so that the gluing guns 3a and 3b face the sides 2a and 2b of the mating container 2.

When the container 2 is carried in, the slider drive motor 29 is started. The rotation of this motor 29 is transmitted to a spline shaft 31 on the side of the guide column 22 via a chain 30. This rotation of the spline shaft 31 is transmitted from a sprocket 32 movable on the spline shaft 31 to a sprocket 34 in the frame 10 via a chain 33. The rotation of the sprocket 34 is transmitted to the sliders 5a, 5b by a chain 35 stretched within the guide rails 4a, 4b.

As a result, the sliders 5a and 5b are displaced at a constant speed from the right to the left in FIG.
Gluing is performed on the sides 2a and 2b, respectively.
When the sliders 5a and 5b move forward to the leftward sliding limit position and stop, the actuator 7a for driving the turntable 7 is activated, and the container 2 is rotated about 90 degrees together with the turntable 7. As a result, the remaining two sides 2c and 2d that are not glued are parallel to the guide rails 4a and 4b. These remaining 2
In this embodiment, the distance between the sides 2c and 2d is wider than the distance between the two glued sides 2a and 2b, so the cylinder 24 operates to change the distance between the guide rails 4a and 4b to the distance between the two sides 2c and 2d. Change the interval to match the interval. At this time, the sprocket 32 in the frame 10
is displaced along the spline shaft 31 to the sprocket 34 while maintaining a state in which power can be transmitted.

When the distance between the guide rails 4a and 4b is adjusted in this way, the slider drive motor 29 is started in reverse. As a result, the sliders 5a and 5b are driven in the opposite direction to the forward movement, and the remaining two sides 2c and 2d are glued.

In this way, the gluing device 1 has guide rails 4a, 4
Since the distance between the sliders 5 and 5 can be changed arbitrarily, even if the container has a glued shape other than square, the slider 5
By one reciprocating displacement of a and 5b, the four sides 2a of the container 2,
2b, 2c, and 2d can be reliably glued. Furthermore, since the moving speeds of the glue guns 3a and 3b during gluing are constant, uneven coating of the glue material does not occur.

In addition, although the container 2 is placed flat on the turntable 7, the running surfaces of the sliders 5a and 5b may not be parallel to the glued surfaces of the respective sides 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d; Alternatively, when adjusting the gluing device 1 after assembly, by changing the height of the frame 11 at the left end of the guide rails 4a, 4b using the adjustment screw 28 for adjusting the inclination angle, it is very easy to adjust the gluing surface. On the other hand, the running surface can be adjusted to be parallel.

That is, the support mechanism for the guide rails 4a, 4b applied to the gluing device 1 having the above configuration is such that the right end portions of the guide rails 4a, 4b are supported by a plurality of guide rollers 23.
Rotatably supports the guide column 22 by
Since the frame body 11 at the left end of the guide rails 4a, 4b is configured to be height adjustable, it is possible to extremely easily adjust the running surface of the sliders 5a, 5b to be parallel to the gluing surface.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the sliders 5a and 5b
may be configured to be self-propelled, for example, by a built-in motor instead of relying on the power of the motor 29.

Furthermore, the number of rollers 23 that support the frame body 10 on the guide column 22 is not limited to three, but may be any other suitable number.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the guide rail support mechanism is not limited to the gluing device, but can also be applied to other devices.

As described above, the guide rail support device for a traveling body according to the present invention includes a pair of guide rails that form a traveling path for the traveling body and are parallel to each other, and extend in directions in which the pair of guide rails approach and move away from each other. It consists of an existing guide column and a plurality of guide rollers that sandwich the guide column, and one end of the guide rail is slidably supported along the guide column by the rolling of the guide roller, and the guide roller supports the guide column. a support mechanism that allows the guide rail to rotate around one end while holding the support column so as to vary the inclination angle of the running path; and a pair of guide rails that connect the other end of the guide rail. and an adjustment member provided at the other end of the guide rail to adjust the support height of the other end with respect to the support. By sliding a pair of parallel guide rails toward and away from each other, the travel path of the traveling object can be set at a desired position, and one of the supports supporting both ends of the guide rails is a guide column. The guide rail is configured to allow rotational displacement of the guide rail by means of guide rollers that clamp the guide rail, and the height of the other end of the guide rail can be changed with respect to the other support by an adjustment member. Because of this, it has the advantage that the inclination angle of the guide rail, that is, the traveling direction or traveling height of the traveling body can be adjusted extremely easily.
