[0036] Reference Figure 1-10 , an embodiment of the present application is proposed, and the storage system based on a four-way shuttle and an elevator described in this embodiment includes:

[0037] A multi-layer shelf 10, each layer of which is provided with a passage;

[0038] The four-way shuttle vehicle 20 includes a vehicle body 41 and a tray 42 which is escalably mounted on the vehicle body 41;

[0039] A lifting frame 30 is arranged at the front side of the shelf 10 and located at the front end of the passage;

[0040] The hoist 40 is installed on the lifting frame 30 in a lifting manner. The hoist 40 has two cargo-carrying rails 44 that are symmetrically distributed on the left and right and a trolley rail 43 that is distributed between the two cargo-carrying rails 44. The cargo-carrying rails 44 are higher in level than the trolley rails 43. The hoist 40 can be lifted and lowered on the lifting frame 30 so that the trolley rails 43 on the hoist 40 can be docked with the passage of any layer on the shelf 10.

[0041] After the four-way shuttle 20 loaded with goods enters the trolley track 43 through the passage, the pallet 42 and the goods loaded thereon are placed on the goods carrying track 44 , and then the four-way shuttle 20 drives out of the trolley track 43 .

[0042] The shelf 10 includes multiple layers, which are high-rise shelves 10. The high-rise shelves 10 are the basic structure for dense storage. The shelf 10 is built with metal profiles to form an alley, and a passage is set in the alley so that the four-way shuttle 20 can shuttle in the alley to store and retrieve goods.

[0043] The present application sets a lifting frame 30 on the front side of the shelf 10, that is, the front side of the passage, and the elevator 40 is installed on the lifting frame 30 so that it can be raised and lowered. The elevator 40 is provided with a trolley track 43 that matches the four-way shuttle 20. The elevator 40 can be raised and lowered on the lifting frame 30 so that the trolley track 43 on it can be docked with the passage of any layer on the shelf 10. The four-way shuttle 20 can move from the passage to the trolley track 43 or carry the elevator 40 to realize the layer change or exit of the four-way shuttle 20.

[0044] When the four-way shuttle 20 has finished taking items from the shelf 10 and has moved the loaded goods from the passage to the trolley track 43, the four-way shuttle 20 controls its pallet 42 to descend, so that the goods loaded on the four-way shuttle 20 are placed on the goods carrying track 44, and the four-way shuttle 20 can return to the passage from the trolley track 43. At this time, the elevator 40 can independently drive the taken-out goods to move along the lifting frame 30 to the bottom layer of the shelf 10, and the forklift can take the goods on the pallet 42 from the shuttle to realize the subsequent transfer of the goods.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the four-way shuttle 20 picks up items from the shelf 10, it can place the goods directly on the elevator 40 and then execute the next task. The four-way shuttle 20 does not need to move to the designated layer of the shelf 10 together with the taken-out goods along with the elevator 40, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of warehouse management.

[0046] Specifically, the elevator 40 includes a fixed frame 401, two chain mechanisms 402, and a chain driving mechanism 403. The two chain mechanisms 402 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the two fixed frames 401. Each of the chain mechanisms 402 includes a transmission chain 4021 and a lower sprocket 4022 and two upper sprockets 4023 rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 401, and the two upper sprockets 4023 are distributed on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the fixed frame 401. The lower sprocket 4022 is distributed below the two upper sprockets 4023. The transmission chain 4021 is wound around the lower sprocket 4022 and the two upper sprockets 4023 and engages with them. The chain driving mechanism 403 is installed in the fixed frame 401 and distributed between the two lower sprockets 4022. The chain driving mechanism 403 is connected to the two lower sprockets 4022 in transmission. The transmission chain 4021 between the two upper sprockets 4023 constitutes the cargo carrying track 44.

[0047] After taking items from the shelf 10, the four-way shuttle 20 can directly place the goods on the two transmission chains 4021, and drive the two transmission chains 4021 to rotate through the chain drive mechanism 403, and the two transmission chains 4021 drive the goods carried by the two to move, so that the elevator 40 can connect to the cargo conveyor to achieve rapid delivery of goods.

[0048] Specifically, the chain drive mechanism 403 includes a dual-axis motor 4031 and two connecting shafts 4032. The dual-axis motor 4031 is installed in a fixed frame 401. The two connecting shafts 4032 are arranged on both sides of the dual-axis motor 4031 and are installed on the fixed frame 401 through bearings that rotate with them. One end of the two connecting shafts 4032 is respectively connected to the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 4031 through universal joints 4033, and the other ends are respectively connected to the two lower sprockets 4022, which can reliably transmit torque and motion, thereby realizing stable transmission of the dual-axis motor 4031 to the lower sprocket 4022 and stable transportation of goods.

[0049] Preferably, each chain mechanism 402 also includes two limit members 4024, which are arranged between the upper sprocket 4023 and the lower sprocket 4022. The transmission chain 4021 bypasses the upper sprocket 4023 and passes between the two limit members 4024 before being wound around the two upper sprockets 4023, so as to avoid the transmission chain 4021 occupying too much space.

[0050] In this embodiment, the lifting machine 40 also includes a lifting drive mechanism 404 and two driving gears 405. The two driving gears 405 are rotatably installed on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 401. The lifting drive mechanism 404 is installed on the fixed frame 401 and is transmission-connected with the two driving gears 405. The lifting frame 30 includes two support columns 301 spaced apart along the left and right directions. The two support columns 301 are each provided with a vertically distributed rack 302 on one side close to each other. The fixed frame 401 is arranged between the two support columns 301, and the two driving gears 405 are respectively meshed with the two racks 302.

[0051] The lifting drive mechanism 404 drives two driving gears 405 to rotate so that the fixed frame 401 is lifted and lowered along the rack 302 .

[0052] Further, preferably, guide wheel assemblies are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 401, and the two guide wheel assemblies include four longitudinal guide wheels 406 rotatably installed on the fixed frame 401 along the front-rear direction, and the four longitudinal guide wheels 406 are distributed in the four corners of a rectangle. The support column 301 passes through the rectangle formed by the four longitudinal guide wheels 406 so that the wheel surfaces of the four longitudinal guide wheels 406 are in rolling contact with the support column 301, thereby enabling the fixed frame 401 to stably climb or descend along the support column 301.

[0053] The guide wheel assembly also includes a transverse guide wheel 407, which is rotatably installed on the side wall of the fixed frame 401 in the left-right direction and in rolling contact with the support column 301 to prevent the fixed frame 401 from shaking on the support column 301 in the left-right direction and the front-back direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, two strip profiles 408 are installed on the upper end of the fixed frame 401. The two strip profiles 408 are horizontally distributed along the front-to-back direction and constitute the trolley track 43. Referring to the drawings, the cross-sections of the two strip profiles 408 are L-shaped, providing a running track for the four-way shuttle 20 and limiting the four-way shuttle 20 at the same time.

[0055] The lower end of the four-way shuttle 20 is provided with wheels for shuttling and a shuttle drive mechanism for driving the wheels to rotate for moving. The installation position, connection structure and working principle of the wheels and the shuttle drive mechanism of the four-way shuttle 20 belong to the prior art in the field and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0056] In this embodiment, a driving assembly 411 and a plurality of lifting assemblies 412 are provided on the vehicle body 41, each of the lifting assemblies 412 includes a rotating cylinder 4121 and a lifting member 4122, the rotating cylinder 4121 can be horizontally rotatably installed on the vehicle body 41, the lifting member 4122 is inserted into the rotating cylinder 4121 and threadedly connected thereto, the tray 42 is connected to the plurality of lifting members 4122, the driving assembly 411 is transmission-connected to the rotating cylinder 4121, and is used to drive the rotating cylinder 4121 to rotate so as to drive the lifting member 4122 to rise and fall to realize the lifting and falling of the tray 42.

[0057] As shown in the accompanying drawings, four lifting components 412 are arranged on the vehicle body 41 . The four lifting components 412 are distributed at four corners of a rectangle. When the driving component 411 drives the rotating cylinder 4121 to rotate, the four lifting components 4122 drive the tray 42 to move up and down.

[0058] Specifically, the driving assembly 411 includes a driving member 4111 and a plurality of linkage rods 4112, and a first gear member 4113 is coaxially fixedly installed on each of the rotating cylinders 4121. All linkage rods 4112 are horizontally and rotatably installed on the vehicle body 41 and are distributed between two adjacent rotating cylinders 4121. Second gear members 4114 are respectively provided at both ends of the linkage rods 4112, and the two ends thereof respectively extend to the vicinity of the corresponding rotating cylinders 4121 and mesh with the first gear member 4113. The driving member 4111 is transmission-connected with any one of the linkage rods 4112, and the driving member 4111 drives the linkage rods 4112 to rotate and drive all lifting members 4122 to lift and lower.

[0059] As shown in the accompanying drawings, there are four linkage rods 4112, which are respectively arranged between two adjacent rotating cylinders 4121 and are connected end to end in sequence. The driving member 4111 is connected with a linkage rod 4112. When the linkage rod 4112 drives the rotating cylinders 4121 at both ends to rotate, the rotating rotating cylinder 4121 drives other rotating cylinders 4121 to rotate synchronously, so that one driving member 4111 drives all lifting members 4122 to rise and fall synchronously.
