Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics automation, and particularly to an industrial overhead rail shuttle vehicle. Background Art

[0002] An overhead rail shuttle vehicle is a device widely used in automated stereoscopic warehouses and logistics systems. It operates along a set track to achieve automatic storage, retrieval, handling, etc. of goods. By using an overhead rail shuttle vehicle, the automation level of warehouse management can be greatly improved, the dependence on manual operations can be reduced, and the work efficiency can be enhanced.

[0003] Currently, the ways for an overhead rail shuttle vehicle to receive goods are generally divided into clamp clamping, frame receiving, and hook picking. Since the frame receiving method has the advantages of being easy to integrate with existing logistics equipment, relatively simple in structure, and low in maintenance cost, it is widely used. The frame receiving device usually consists of multiple U-shaped rods arranged in parallel. During operation, the frame descends onto the roller conveyor, making the U-shaped rods located between the rollers of the roller conveyor. Then, the goods are conveyed into the frame through the roller conveyor. After that, the frame rises, and the shuttle vehicle moves along the track for goods transportation.

[0004] However, the current frame receiving method has some defects: it cannot send goods into the frame and send goods out of the frame by itself, and it needs to rely on a roller conveyor to complete the loading and unloading operations of goods. To achieve the loading and unloading of goods by means of a roller conveyor, first, the goods need to be manually carried onto the roller conveyor, and then, after the goods are moved into the frame, the goods also need to be manually carried off the roller conveyor. Relying on manual operations results in high labor intensity and low efficiency. In addition, at least two roller conveyors need to be additionally equipped to achieve the loading and unloading of goods, which not only increases the cost but also raises the costs of daily maintenance and operation. Moreover, there is no limit structure on both sides of the existing frame for loading and unloading, which may lead to the risk of goods falling during transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an industrial overhead rail shuttle vehicle that can not only automatically load and unload but also has a function of limiting goods in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An industrial aerial rail shuttle, comprising a loop-shaped rail, on which a shuttle body is provided. A frame is connected to the shuttle body through a traction rope. An electric wire reel for winding and unwinding the traction rope is installed inside the shuttle body. The frame includes a lifting plate connected to the traction rope. U-shaped rods are slidably arranged at intervals on the lifting plate. Round blocks are connected to the top ends of both sides of the U-shaped rods. Telescopic rod one is connected at intervals between the bottom of the shuttle body and the top of the lifting plate. A loading and unloading mechanism located inside the U-shaped rods is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate. The loading and unloading mechanism includes two linear motors connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. An installation plate is connected to the linear motor. A push plate one for pushing goods into the inside of the U-shaped rod is hinged between the two installation plates. A positioning block for positioning the push plate one is connected to the top of the installation plate. A push plate two for pushing goods out of the inside of the U-shaped rod is connected between the two installation plates. A pulling mechanism for pulling the push plate one to rotate upward to avoid goods is provided at the top of the installation plate. A material blocking mechanism is provided on the lifting plate. The material blocking mechanism includes a blocking frame slidably connected to the lifting plate for blocking goods inside the U-shaped rod. Elastic telescopic brackets are connected to both sides of the blocking frame.

[0007] Preferably, the pulling mechanism includes an electric wire reel one installed on the top of the installation plate. A pull rope one is wound around the electric wire reel one. The pull rope one passes through the positioning block and is connected to the push plate one.

[0008] Preferably, a stabilizing mechanism for fixing goods is provided on the lifting plate. The stabilizing mechanism includes an airbag connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. A cylinder body is connected to the top of the lifting plate. The cylinder body is communicated with the airbag through a pipeline. A piston rod is slidably connected inside the cylinder body. A support spring is connected between the upper part of the piston rod and the top of the cylinder body.

[0009] Preferably, a lifting mechanism for lifting the shuttle body is provided on the loop-shaped rail. The lifting mechanism includes a linear guide rail, a mounting seat, an electric wire reel two and a pull rope two. An opening for accommodating the linear guide rail is opened at the horizontal section of the loop-shaped rail. A mounting seat is installed on the top of the loop-shaped rail. Two electric wire reels two are installed on the mounting seat. A pull rope two is wound around the electric wire reel two. The pull rope two is connected to the top of the linear guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, a locking mechanism for locking the linear guide rail is provided on the mounting seat. The locking mechanism includes two cylinders installed on the mounting seat. A plug rod is connected to the cylinder. Two opening blocks are connected to the top of the linear guide rail. The plug rod is inserted into the hole of the opening block to firmly lock the linear guide rail on the loop-shaped rail.

[0011] Preferably, connecting plates are connected at intervals between the lower parts of the remaining U-shaped rods except the two outermost U-shaped rods. A connecting rod is slidably arranged at intervals between the connecting plates. Rollers are rotatably connected at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting rod. The rollers are located between two adjacent connecting plates. Two support plates located below the U-shaped rods are connected between the connecting rods.

[0013] Preferably, the lower parts of the two outermost U-shaped rods are connected with guide plates for guiding the goods into and out of the frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0015] 2. The blocking frame can be propped up by the elastic telescopic support frame in contact with the ground, so that the blocking frame moves up relative to the frame, thereby facilitating the goods to enter and exit the frame. By moving the blocking frame downward relative to the frame, the goods can be blocked in the frame, thereby limiting the position of the goods and preventing the goods from falling out of the frame during transportation, thereby greatly improving safety.

[0016] 3. Through the cooperation of the piston rod and the cylinder body, gas can be injected into the airbag when the frame drives the cargo to rise, so that the airbag expands to press and fix the cargo on the inside of the U-shaped rod, so as to prevent the cargo from shaking on the inside of the U-shaped rod during air transportation and colliding with the U-shaped rod and the blocking frame to be damaged, thereby protecting the cargo.

[0017] 4. Through the cooperation of the electric winding wheel 2 and the pull rope 2, the linear guide rail can be driven to drive the shuttle body to rise and fall, so as to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the shuttle body.

[0018] 5. The cylinder can drive the plunger to move and insert into the hole of the opening block, so that the linear guide rail can be firmly locked on the circular track to improve stability and safety.

[0019] 6. The goods can be guided by the rollers so that they can be sent into and out of the frame more smoothly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation manners are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application according to the above application content.

[0033] Please refer toFigures 1-8 An industrial aerial rail shuttle, comprising a loop-shaped track 1, a shuttle body 2, a towing rope 3, a frame 4, a loading and unloading mechanism, a pulling mechanism and a material blocking mechanism. The traveling wheels 21 of the shuttle body 2 are slidably arranged in the loop-shaped track 1. The frame 4 is connected to the shuttle body 2 through the towing rope 3. There are four towing ropes 3, and the four towing ropes 3 are arranged circumferentially around the shuttle body 2. Four electric wire reels are installed at intervals along the circumferential direction inside the shuttle body 2, and the four towing ropes 3 are respectively wound around the four electric wire reels. The frame 4 includes a lifting plate 41 connected to the four towing ropes 3. U-shaped rods 42 are slidably connected to the lifting plate 41 at intervals from front to back. Circular blocks 43 located above the lifting plate 41 are connected to the tops of the left and right sides of the U-shaped rods 42. Four telescopic rods 31 are connected at intervals between the bottom of the shuttle body 2 and the top of the lifting plate 41. The telescopic rods 31 are composed of multiple telescopic rods. A loading and unloading mechanism located inside the U-shaped rods 42 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting plate 41. The loading and unloading mechanism includes two linear motors 51 connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 41 on the left and right. An installation plate 52 is connected to the linear motors 51. A push plate 53 for pushing the goods into the inside of the U-shaped rods 42 is hinged between the front sides of the two installation plates 52. A positioning block 54 located behind the push plate 53 is connected to the front side of the top of the installation plate 52. The positioning block 54 is used to position the push plate 53 to prevent the push plate 53 from being pushed by the goods and rotating forward and upward, ensuring that the push plate 53 smoothly pushes the goods into the inside of the U-shaped rods 42. A push plate 55 for pushing the goods out of the inside of the U-shaped rods 42 is connected between the rear sides of the two installation plates 52. A pulling mechanism for pulling the push plate 53 to rotate backward and upward to avoid the goods is arranged at the top of the installation plate 52. The pulling mechanism includes an electric wire reel 61 installed at the top of the installation plate 52. The electric wire reel 61 is located behind the positioning block 54. A pulling rope 62 is wound around the electric wire reel 61. The pulling rope 62 passes through the positioning block 54 and is connected to the push plate 53. A material blocking mechanism is arranged on the lifting plate 41. The material blocking mechanism includes a blocking frame 71 slidably connected to the lifting plate 41 for blocking the goods inside the U-shaped rods 42. The blocking frame 71 includes a blocking rod 711, a slotted plate 712, a cross plate 713 and a connecting plate 714. Two groups of blocking rods 711 are connected to the lifting plate 41 in the front and back. A slotted plate 712 located above the lifting plate 41 is connected between the tops of the two groups of blocking rods 711. A cross plate 713 located below the lifting plate 41 is connected between the bottoms of each group of blocking rods 711. Connecting plates 714 are connected to the left and right sides of the slotted plate 712. Elastic telescopic supports 72 are connected to the bottoms of the two side connecting plates 714. The elastic telescopic support 72 includes a telescopic rod 721 connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 714. A support block 722 is connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 721. A compression spring 723 is arranged inside the telescopic rod 721. The two ends of the compression spring 723 are respectively connected to the inner rod and the outer rod of the telescopic rod 721.

[0034] First, the electric winding drum on the shuttle body 2 is controlled to rotate to release the traction rope 3. Under the action of gravity, the frame 4 descends and stretches the telescopic rod 31. When the U-shaped rod 42 descends to contact the ground, the U-shaped rod 42 cannot continue to descend, and the lifting plate 41 can drive the loading and unloading mechanism to continue to descend, so as to adapt to goods of different heights. The frame 4 descends and drives the blocking frame 71 and the elastic telescopic support frame 72 to descend. The support block 722 on the elastic telescopic support frame 72 will contact the ground before the U-shaped rod 42. When the support block 722 contacts the ground, the blocking frame 71 is supported by the entire elastic telescopic support frame 72 to prevent the blocking frame 71 from continuing to move down with the frame 4, so that the blocking frame 71 can be moved up relative to the lifting plate 41 to facilitate subsequent goods to enter and exit the frame 4.

[0035] Then the linear motor 51 is controlled to drive the mounting plate 52 to drive the push plate 1 53 and the push plate 2 55 to move forward. When the push plate 1 53 moves forward to contact the goods on the ground, the push plate 1 53 continues to be pushed forward by the goods to rotate backward and upward to avoid the goods. When the push plate 1 53 passes over the goods forward, under the action of gravity, the push plate 1 53 rotates downward and resets. Then the linear motor 51 is controlled to drive the mounting plate 52 to drive the push plate 1 53 and the push plate 2 55 to move backward. Since the push plate 1 53 is supported by the positioning block 54 and cannot rotate forward and upward, the push plate 1 53 moves backward to push the goods into the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42 of the frame 4, thereby realizing automatic loading. When there are goods placed in the frame 4, the push plate 2 55 moves forward to push the goods out from the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42 of the frame 4, thereby realizing automatic unloading. In this way, the device can realize automatic loading and unloading of goods, and realize automatic loading and unloading of goods, without the need for roller conveyors to complete the loading and unloading operations of goods, thereby reducing manual operations, reducing labor intensity, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. When the goods are pushed out of the frame 4 to the ground by the push plate 2 55, the electric winding wheel 1 61 is controlled to rotate and reel in the pull rope 1 62, and the push plate 1 53 is pulled backward and upward by the pull rope 1 62 to avoid the goods, so as to avoid the subsequent push plate 1 53 following the mounting plate 52 to move backward and reset, and push the goods into the frame 4 again. When the push plate 1 53 follows the mounting plate 52 to move backward and reset, the electric winding wheel 1 61 is controlled to reverse and release the pull rope 1 62. Under the action of gravity, the push plate 1 53 rotates downward and resets to prepare for pushing the next goods.

[0036] Then, the electric winding drum on the shuttle body 2 is controlled to reverse and rewind the traction rope 3, so as to pull the frame 4 to drive the goods to rise, and the telescopic rod 31 is contracted accordingly. At this time, the lifting plate 41 rises before the blocking frame 71, and the blocking frame 71 moves downward relative to the lifting plate 41 to block the goods on the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42, thereby limiting the position of the goods to prevent the goods from falling from the frame 4 during the subsequent transportation process, thereby greatly improving the safety. When the lifting plate 41 moves up to contact the slotted plate 712 on the blocking frame 71, the lifting plate 41 continues to move up to push the slotted plate 712 to move up, thereby causing the entire blocking frame 71 to move up and keep blocking the goods. Finally, the shuttle body 2 is controlled to move along the loop track 1 to transport the goods to the designated location.

[0037] See also Figures 7-8 A stabilizing mechanism for fixing goods is provided on the lifting plate 41, and the stabilizing mechanism includes an airbag 81 connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 41, and the airbag 81 is located between the two linear motors 51. The airbag 81 is located behind the push plate 1 53. When the airbag 81 is contracted, it is higher than the push plate 2 55 and will not hinder the push plate 2 55 from pushing out the goods. A cylinder body 82 is connected to the top of the lifting plate 41, and the cylinder body 82 is connected to the airbag 81 through a pipeline. A piston rod 83 is slidably connected in the cylinder body 82, and two front and rear support springs 84 are connected between the upper part of the piston rod 83 and the top of the cylinder body 82.

[0038] The lifting plate 41 is lifted and lowered to drive the airbag 81, the cylinder 82, the piston rod 83 and the support spring 84 to lift and lower. When the piston rod 83 rises to contact the bottom of the shuttle body 2, the piston rod 83 cannot continue to rise, so the cylinder 82 continues to rise to compress the support spring 84, and injects the gas in the cylinder 82 into the airbag 81 through the pipeline, so that the airbag 81 expands to press and fix the goods on the inside of the U-shaped rod 42, so as to prevent the goods from shaking inside the U-shaped rod 42 during air transportation, colliding with the U-shaped rod 42 and the blocking frame 71 and being damaged, thereby protecting the goods. When the cylinder 82 drives the piston rod 83 to move downward and disengage from the bottom of the shuttle body 2, under the reset action of the support spring 84, the piston rod 83 is pushed to move upward on the cylinder 82 to reset, so that the gas in the airbag 81 is drawn back into the cylinder 82, so that the airbag 81 shrinks and releases the goods.

[0039] See also Figures 9-10 A lifting mechanism for lifting the shuttle body 2 is provided on the circular track 1, and the lifting mechanism includes a linear guide rail 92, a mounting seat 93, an electric winding wheel 94 and a pull rope 95. An opening 91 for accommodating the linear guide rail 92 is opened at the front horizontal section of the circular track 1. A mounting seat 93 is installed on the top of the circular track 1, and two left and right electric winding wheels 94 are installed on the mounting seat 93. A pull rope 95 is wound around the electric winding wheel 94, and the pull rope 95 is connected to the top of the linear guide rail 92.

[0040] When the shuttle car body 2 needs to be overhauled and maintained, the shuttle car body 2 is moved onto the linear guide rail 92. Then, the electric winding wheel two 94 is controlled to rotate to release the second pulling rope 95. Under the action of gravity, the linear guide rail 92 drives the shuttle car body 2 to descend to a lower position, so as to facilitate the subsequent overhaul and maintenance of the shuttle car body 2. Controlling the electric winding wheel two 94 to reverse and wind up the second pulling rope 95 can pull the linear guide rail 92 to rise and reset, thereby driving the shuttle car body 2 to rise and reset.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 9-10 , a locking mechanism for locking the linear guide rail 92 is provided on the mounting seat 93. The locking mechanism includes two left and right cylinders 11 mounted on the front side of the mounting seat 93. A plug rod 12 is connected to the cylinder 11. Two left and right opening blocks 10 are connected to the top of the linear guide rail 92. The opening blocks 10 are located outside the second pulling rope 95. The plug rod 12 is inserted into the hole of the opening block 10 to firmly lock the linear guide rail 92 on the loop-shaped track 1. The end of the plug rod 12 away from the cylinder 11 on the same side as it is conical, so as to facilitate the smooth insertion of the plug rod 12 into the hole of the opening block 10.

[0042] After the linear guide rail 92 rises and resets, control the cylinder 11 to drive the plug rod 12 to move and insert into the hole of the opening block 10. In this way, the linear guide rail 92 can be firmly locked on the loop-shaped track 1 to improve stability and safety. When it is necessary to lower the linear guide rail 92, control the cylinder 11 to drive the plug rod 12 to move out of the hole of the opening block 10.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 11 , connecting plates 13 are connected at intervals from left to right between the lower parts of the remaining U-shaped rods 42 except for the frontmost U-shaped rod 42 and the rearmost U-shaped rod 42. Vertical grooves are spaced from front to back on the connecting plates 13. Connecting rods 14 are provided at intervals from front to back between the connecting plates 13. The connecting rods 14 are located in the vertical grooves. Rollers 16 are rotatably connected at intervals along the axial direction on the connecting rods 14. The rollers 16 are located between two adjacent connecting plates 13. Bracing plates 15 are connected between the left ends and the right ends of the connecting rods 14. The bracing plates 15 are located below the U-shaped rods 42. Guide plates 17 are connected to the lower parts of the frontmost and rearmost U-shaped rods 42. Through the guide plates 17, goods can be guided to enter and exit the frame 4 smoothly.

[0044] When the U-shaped rod 42 descends to the ground, it drives the connecting rod 14, the support plate 15, and the roller 16 to descend through the connecting plate 13. When the support plate 15 descends to contact the ground, the support plate 15, the connecting rod 14, and the roller 16 cannot continue to move downward. Thus, the U-shaped rod 42 drives the connecting plate 13 to continue to move downward, causing the roller 16 to move upward relative to the connecting plate 13, so that the top surface of the roller 16 is higher than the top surface of the connecting plate 13. The roller 16 can be used to guide the goods, enabling the goods to be fed into the frame 4 and sent out of the frame 4 more smoothly. When the U-shaped rod 42 ascends, it first drives the connecting plate 13 to ascend, causing the connecting plate 13 to move upward relative to the roller 16, so that the top surface of the roller 16 is lower than the top surface of the connecting plate 13, and then the roller 16 is separated from the goods to prevent the goods from displacing and shaking in the frame 4 during subsequent transportation. When the bottom surface of the vertical groove on the connecting plate 13 moves upward to contact the connecting rod 14, the connecting plate 13 continues to ascend and drives the connecting rod 14, the support plate 15, and the roller 16 to ascend.

[0045] The above-described embodiments merely represent the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications, improvements, and substitutions can be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
