Handling equipment and handling system

Abstract

A transport device for conveying a vehicle includes a vehicle body, a transmission mechanism, and a rail power supply mechanism. The transmission mechanism is located on the top side of the vehicle body and drives the vehicle body to move on the rail power supply mechanism. The rail power supply mechanism includes a rail assembly, a power cable assembly, and at least one power source. The power source is located on the vehicle body and can transmit power from the rail power supply mechanism to the vehicle body via the power cable assembly in a non-contact (wireless transmission) manner. The vehicle body includes a base, a traversing mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a gripper mechanism. The traversing mechanism is located on the base, and the lifting mechanism is connected between the traversing mechanism and the gripper mechanism. The gripper mechanism can hold the vehicle and is driven to traverse by the traversing mechanism, and can also be driven to lift and lower the vehicle by the lifting mechanism, allowing the vehicle to be transported to a predetermined position. This avoids friction, prevents dust generation, and improves cleanliness. The traversing mechanism is bidirectional and has a multi-stroke design, increasing its applicability. A gate mechanism can also be installed on the lower ends of both side walls of the base to prevent the vehicle from falling downwards, thereby increasing safety. A rotational correction mechanism can be installed between the traversing mechanism and the lifting mechanism to correct the rotation angle of the vehicle. This invention also provides a handling system.
