Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of logistics equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a novel wheel box structure for stacker cranes. Background Technology
[0002] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) are an important component of modern logistics. Stacker cranes, as indispensable lifting equipment in AS / RS, directly impact the operational efficiency of the system. The wheel box assembly is a crucial component of the stacker crane; therefore, the design and use of the stacker crane's traveling mechanism are of paramount importance.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Current stacker cranes use a walking motor to drive wheels on a guide rail for horizontal movement via a drive shaft. During the movement, the wheel box structure often experiences problems such as loose fit and failure of the walking bearing.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a new type of wheel box structure for stacker cranes, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose and effect of this utility model, which discloses a novel wheel box structure for a stacker crane, are achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0006] A novel wheel box structure for a stacker crane includes a drive wheel and a drive wheel axle. The drive wheel axle is inserted through the center of the drive wheel, and the connection between the drive wheel and the drive wheel axle is a conical connection. Square covers are respectively fitted on both sides of the drive wheel located on the drive wheel axle, and the internal structure of the square covers is exactly the same. A bushing is fitted between the left side of the drive wheel and one of the square covers.
[0007] Furthermore, a pressure cap is installed on the side wall of one of the square covers, and a shaft end pressure cap is installed at the center of the pressure cap, and the two are assembled and installed by bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, the square cover and the pressure cover are provided with a bearing chamber inside, in which a nylon ring and a steel ring are installed, and a self-aligning roller bearing is installed between the nylon ring and the steel ring.
[0009] Furthermore, an oil cup is installed at the connection between the other square cover and the pressure cap, and is assembled and installed by bolts and screws.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. In this structure, the drive wheel and drive wheel shaft use a tapered surface connection instead of a spline connection. The position and relative movement between the drive wheel and drive wheel shaft are maintained through the friction and pressure between the connecting surfaces, ensuring the stability of the connection. At the same time, during the force transmission process, the contact pressure distribution between the tapered surfaces is more uniform, which can reduce the fatigue stress of the parts and thus improve the mechanical life of the wheel set.
[0012] 2. The bearing is a self-aligning roller bearing, which has good impact resistance.
[0013] 3. The box structure at the top of the wheel body has been removed, and the box structure on the front and rear sides of the drive wheel has been replaced with a bearing chamber. This results in low processing cost, a reasonable and compact structure, easy installation and replacement, and convenient observation of the drive wheel's condition. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example:
[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown:
[0024] This utility model provides a novel wheel box structure for a stacker crane, including a drive wheel 1 and a drive wheel axle 2. The drive wheel axle 2 is inserted through the center of the drive wheel 1, and the connection between the drive wheel 1 and the drive wheel axle 2 is a conical connection. Square covers are respectively fitted on both sides of the drive wheel 1 on the drive wheel axle 2, and the internal structure of the square covers is exactly the same. A bushing 4 is fitted between the left side of the drive wheel 1 and one of the square covers. The drive wheel 1 and the drive wheel axle 2 are connected by a conical connection. The position and relative movement between the drive wheel 1 and the drive wheel axle 2 are maintained by the friction and pressure between the connecting surfaces, ensuring the stability of the connection. At the same time, the conical connection can transmit greater bending moment and torque. Meanwhile, the bushing 4 fixes the position of the axle and prevents the drive wheel axle 2 from moving axially during operation.
[0025] One of the square covers has a pressure cap 7 installed on its side wall, and a shaft end pressure cap 8 is installed at the center of the pressure cap 7, and is assembled and installed by bolt 13.
[0026] The square cover and the pressure cover 7 are provided with a bearing chamber 3 inside. A nylon ring 5 and a steel ring 6 are installed in the bearing chamber 3, and a self-aligning roller bearing 9 is installed between the nylon ring 5 and the steel ring 6. The pressure cover 7 is connected to the bearing chamber 3 by screws 11 to prevent the steel ring 6 and the nylon ring 5 from moving axially.
[0027] One of them, an oil cup 12 is installed at the connection between the other square cover and the pressure cover 7, and is assembled and installed by bolts 10 and screws 11. The oil cup 12 is installed on the bearing chamber 3, and the self-aligning roller bearing 9 is lubricated by the oil cup 12, which reduces the wear of the self-aligning roller bearing 9 and extends its service life.
[0028] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0029] First, the wheel box is installed in the designated position. The right end of the drive wheel shaft 2 is connected to the geared motor. The geared motor drives the drive wheel shaft 2 to rotate. The self-aligning roller bearing 9 supports the drive wheel shaft 2 to rotate. The drive wheel shaft 2 transmits torque to the drive wheel 1 through the connection between the drive wheel shaft 2 and the drive wheel 1, thereby driving the drive wheel 1 to rotate, which in turn drives the stacker crane to move.
[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
