[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first embodiment discloses a steel cable rail connection device for connecting two steel cable rails 1, the steel cable rail connection device includes two support members 2 for fixing the two steel cable rails 1 respectively and a connection rail 3 arranged between the two support members 2, the two ends of the connection rail 3 are respectively connected to the two steel cable rails 1 to form a track, the logistics shuttle robot can move back and forth on the track, that is, the two steel cable rails 1 to be connected can be fixed on the two support members 2 respectively, and the connection rail 3 can be configured into any shape according to the specific conditions of the two steel cable rails 1 to form a track between the two steel cable rails 1 for the logistics shuttle robot to move back and forth. In this way, when the outdoor steel cable rail 1 is affected by environmental factors and is designed to be in various states such as uphill, downhill, and turning, the connection rail 3 can realize the transition of the two steel cable rails 1 at various places such as uphill, downhill, and turning, thereby realizing the connection of the two steel cable rails 1 at the turning point. In this embodiment, the two steel cable rails 1 are located on the same straight line, and the connection rail 3 is a linear rail, and the connection of the two steel cable rails 1 is used as an example.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cable rail connection device further includes a vertical pole 4, a saddle main beam 5 and two saddles 6, the middle portion of the saddle main beam 5 is arranged on the vertical pole 4, the two saddles 6 are respectively installed at the ends of both ends of the saddle main beam 5, two support members 2 and a connection rail 3 are arranged on the two saddles 6, the middle portion of the saddle 6 is connected to the ends of the saddle main beam 5, two groups of support members 2 are respectively arranged at the positions of the two ends of the saddle 6, and the connection rail 3 is arranged at a position between the two ends of the saddle 6. In this arrangement, since the middle portion of the saddle main beam 5 is arranged on the vertical pole 4, and the two saddles 6 are respectively installed at the ends of both ends of the saddle main beam 5, the connection stability between the two support members 2, the saddle 6, the saddle main beam 5 and the vertical pole 4 can be improved.

[0035] In some embodiments, a horizontal support plate 41 is provided at the top of the vertical pole 4, a first mounting hole is provided on the horizontal support plate 41, a clamping column 51 adapted to the first mounting hole is provided on the saddle main beam 5, and the clamping column 51 is clamped in the first mounting hole. With such a configuration, on the one hand, the cooperation between the first mounting hole and the clamping column 51 can realize the positioning between the saddle main beam 5 and the vertical pole 4; on the other hand, the cooperation between the first mounting hole and the clamping column 51 can further realize the shear resistance between the saddle main beam 5 and the vertical pole 4.

[0036] Exemplarily, there are two first mounting holes on the horizontal support plate 41, and the two first mounting holes are respectively arranged at the two ends of the horizontal support plate 41. There are two clamping columns 51 on the saddle main beam 5, and the two clamping columns 51 cooperate with the two first mounting holes, so as to further improve the positioning effect and shear resistance effect between the saddle main beam 5 and the vertical rod 4.

[0037] It is understandable that in other optional embodiments, there can be one first mounting hole and one clamping column 51, the first mounting hole can be a square or other non-circular hole, and the clamping column 51 can be positioned by a design method that is adapted to the first mounting hole, which is not limited here.

[0038] Furthermore, the cable rail connection device further includes a U-shaped clamp 411, which is movably mounted on the horizontal support plate 41, and the saddle main beam 5 is mounted in the space between the inner side of the clamp 411 and the horizontal support plate 41. With such a configuration, on the one hand, the clamp 411 can realize the installation and fixation of the saddle main beam 5 on the upright pole 4; on the other hand, the shear resistance between the saddle main beam 5 and the upright pole 4 can also be realized.

[0039] Exemplarily, there are four clamps 411 , which are disposed at both ends of the horizontal support plate 41 , so that the saddle main beam 5 and the upright 4 have better installation stability and shear resistance.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to improve the connection strength between the saddle 6 and the saddle main beam 5, the steel cable rail connection device further includes a reinforcing plate 7, one end of which is connected to the end of the saddle 6, and the other end of the reinforcing plate 7 is connected to the middle of the saddle main beam 5. In this arrangement, the middle of the saddle 6 is connected to the end of the saddle main beam 5, and the end of the saddle 6 is connected to the middle of the saddle main beam 5 through the reinforcing plate 7, so that the saddle 6 and the saddle main beam 5 have a better installation effect.

[0041] Exemplarily, there are four reinforcing plates 7, two of which are respectively connected to the two ends of one saddle 6 and the two sides of the saddle main beam 5, and the other two reinforcing plates 7 are respectively connected to the two ends of another saddle 6 and the two sides of the saddle main beam 5, thereby enabling the reinforcement effect between the saddle 6 and the saddle main beam 5 to be better.

[0042] In some embodiments, in order to achieve the connection between the two ends of the connecting rail 3 and the two supporting members 2, the connecting rail 3 includes two guiding ends and a main body located between the two guiding ends, and the two guiding ends are each connected to a steel cable rail to form a track, that is, by providing connecting parts at both ends of the connecting rail 3, the connecting rail 3 can be directly connected to the supporting member 2. By adopting such a design method, the structure of the entire steel cable rail connecting device can be simplified.

[0043] Furthermore, the guide end is a sleeve 311 or a sleeve clamp, the steel cable rail is located in the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp, and the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is smoothly transitioned with the outer surface of the steel cable rail. Among them, the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is smoothly transitioned with the two steel cable rails, which means that the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp and the outer surface of the two steel cable rails are roughly located on the same continuous surface. In this way, since the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is smoothly transitioned with the outer surface of the two steel cable rails, it is convenient for the logistics shuttle robot to transition between the two steel cable rails and the docking rail 3.

[0044] As another optional embodiment, the cable rail connecting device also includes two connecting members 31 respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting rail 3, the two connecting members 31 are located between the two supporting members 2, and the two ends of the connecting members 31 are respectively smoothly transitioned to connect the cable rail and the connecting rail 3 to form a track, that is, the connecting rail 3 is indirectly connected to the cable rail through the connecting members 31.

[0045] The guide member 31 is a sleeve 311 or a sleeve clamp, or the guide member 31 is a guide frame provided with a sleeve clamp or a sleeve 311, the cable rail and the connecting rail 3 are both located in the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp, and the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is smoothly transitioned with the outer surfaces of the cable rail and the connecting rail 3. The outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is smoothly transitioned with the outer surfaces of the two cable rails and the connecting rail 3, which means that the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is roughly located on the same continuous surface as the outer surface of the two cable rails and the connecting rail 3. With this arrangement, since the outer surface of the sleeve 311 or the sleeve clamp is smoothly transitioned with the outer surface of the two cable rails and the connecting rail 3, it is convenient for the logistics shuttle robot to transition between the two cable rails and the connecting rail 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, the steel cable rail connection device further includes two guide members 31, and the guide members 31 are guide frames provided with shaft sleeves 311, and the outer surfaces of the shaft sleeves 311 are tangent to the outer surfaces of the two steel cable rails.

[0047] In some embodiments, considering that when the connection path between the two steel cable rails 1 is long, the length of the connection rail 3 is also long, and the area between the two ends of the connection rail 3 is not supported and is easily broken due to excessive force, preferably, the steel cable rail connection device also includes a connection rail auxiliary support frame 33, which is arranged between the two guide members 31 and below the connection rail 3 to support the connection rail 3. In this way, the support of the connection rail auxiliary support frame 33 can improve the structural strength of the connection rail 3.

[0048] Among them, the docking rail auxiliary support frame 33 can be one or more. In actual design, different design methods can be adopted according to the actual situation. It is not limited here. This embodiment takes the docking rail auxiliary support frame 33 as an example.

[0049] In some embodiments, in order to support the steel cable rail 1, the support member 2 is provided with a guide groove 221 matching the shape of the steel cable rail 1, and the guide groove 221 is used to accommodate and support the steel cable rail 1. In this way, the guide groove 221 can realize the positioning of the steel cable rail 1, so as to facilitate the installation and fixation of the steel cable rail 1 on the support member 2.

[0050] Further, the support member 2 includes a guide wheel support frame 21 and a guide wheel 22, the guide wheel 22 is rotatably arranged on the guide wheel support frame 21, and the guide groove 221 is arranged on the guide wheel 22. In this arrangement, since the guide wheel 22 is rotatably arranged on the guide wheel support frame 21, during the installation of the steel cable rail 1 on the guide wheel 22, the guide wheel 22 can rotate according to the loosening or locking of the steel cable rail 1, which can prevent the steel cable rail 1 from being worn during the disassembly process. Optionally, the guide wheel support frame 21 includes two support plates arranged at an interval, and the guide wheel 22 is arranged between the two support plates.

[0051] It is understandable that in other optional implementations, the support member 2 may be designed as an integrated structure and the guide groove 221 may be directly provided on the support member 2, which is not limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cable rail connection device further includes a mounting plate 8 , and the support member 2 is mounted on the saddle 6 via the mounting plate 8 .

[0053] Furthermore, the cable rail connecting device also includes a first bolt 9 and a second bolt 10. One end of the mounting plate 8 is detachably mounted on the saddle 6 through the first bolt 9. The other end of the mounting plate 8 is provided with a waist-shaped adjustment groove 81. The second bolt 10 is installed between the mounting plate 8 and the saddle 6, and the threaded rod section of the second bolt 10 is located in the waist-shaped adjustment groove 81. With such arrangement, on the one hand, the mounting plate 8 can be installed and fixed on the saddle 6 by means of the first bolt 9 and the second bolt 10; on the other hand, after loosening the first bolt 9 and the second bolt 10, the threaded section of the second bolt 10 can move in the waist-shaped adjustment groove 81, and since the second bolt 10 is connected to the mounting plate 8, the mounting plate 8 can be rotated relative to the first bolt 9 without interference, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the deflection angle between the mounting plate 8 and the cable rail 1 without interference, that is, two bolts are arranged between the mounting plate 8 and the saddle 6, and at the same time, the second mounting hole of one of the bolts on the saddle 6 is designed as a waist-shaped adjustment groove 81 in the shape of an arc, which can improve the stability of the mounting structure while achieving the purpose of accurately adjusting the deflection angle between the mounting plate 8 and the cable rail 1, so that the guide groove 221 can accurately support the cable rail 1 without deflection.

[0054] It can be known from the above that the support member 2 includes a guide wheel support frame 21 and a guide wheel 22 . Specifically, the guide wheel support frame 21 is disposed on the mounting plate 8 .

[0055] Optionally, the center of the waist-shaped adjustment groove 81 is located on the rotation center line when the mounting plate 8 rotates around the first bolt 9, so that the threaded rod section of the second bolt 10 can rotate around the first bolt 9, that is, the mounting plate 8 can rotate around the first bolt 9, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the deflection angle.

[0056] Optionally, the guide member 31 is also integrally formed on the mounting plate 8. Compared with the design in which the guide member 31 and the support member 2 are independently arranged, since there is no need to align the guide member 31 and the support member 2, the installation of the guide member 31 and the support member 2 can be realized by installing the mounting plate 8 on the saddle 6, which helps to simplify the installation steps and improve the installation efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 8 is mounted on one side of the saddle 6, and an avoidance hole 82 for passing the steel cable rail 1 is provided on the mounting plate 8, and a waist-shaped avoidance groove 61 for passing the steel cable rail 1 is provided on the saddle 6, and a steel cable rail one-way lock 62 is provided on the other side of the saddle 6, and the steel cable rail one-way lock 62 is connected to one end of the steel cable rail 1 to fix the steel cable rail 1 on the guide groove 221. Specifically, one end of the steel cable rail 1 is passed through the steel cable rail one-way lock 62 to be fixed on the steel cable rail one-way lock 62. In this configuration, since the saddle 6 is provided with a waist-shaped avoidance groove 61 for passing the steel cable rail 1, the waist-shaped avoidance groove 61 can prevent the steel cable rail 1 from interfering with the saddle 6 when being fixed to the steel cable rail one-way lock 62.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to prevent the end of the steel cable rail 1 from being disordered, a steel cable rail clamp 63 is further provided on the other side of the saddle 6 to clamp and fix the end of the steel cable rail 1. The size of the steel cable rail clamp 63 is larger than the size of the avoidance hole 82 of the steel cable rail 1. This makes the steel cable rail 1 more orderly and also prevents the steel lock rail from being fixed when the one-way lock 62 fails. Specifically, there are two steel cable rail clamps 63 arranged at intervals, and the end of the steel cable rail 1 is clamped on the two steel cable rail clamps 63 to strengthen the fixing effect of the steel cable rail 1.

[0059] The cable rail connection device of the present solution includes two support members 2 for fixing two cable rails 1 respectively and a connection rail 3 arranged between the two support members 2. The two ends of the connection rail 3 are respectively connected to the two cable rails to form a track. The logistics shuttle robot can move back and forth on the track, that is, the two cable rails 1 that need to be connected can be fixed on the two support members 2 respectively, and the connection rail 3 can be configured into any shape according to the specific conditions of the two cable rails 1 to form a track between the two cable rails for the logistics shuttle robot to move back and forth. With such a configuration, when the outdoor cable rail 1 is affected by environmental factors and is designed to be in various states such as uphill, downhill, and turning, the connection rail 3 can realize the transition of the two cable rails 1 at various places such as uphill, downhill, and turning, thereby realizing the connection of the two cable rails 1 at the turning point.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] See also Figure 3 The second embodiment discloses a steel cable rail connection device. The difference between the steel cable rail connection device of the second embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows:

[0062] The two steel cable rails 1 are arranged in parallel, and the connecting rail 3 is a curved rail for connecting the two steel cable rails 1. Specifically, one of the supports 2 and one of the supports 3 is arranged on one of the saddles 6, and the other support 2 and the other support 3 are arranged on the other saddle 6. One end of the connecting rail 3 is connected to the support 3 located on one of the saddles 6, and the other end of the connecting rail 3 is connected to the support 3 located on the other saddle 6. With such a design, the connection of two parallel steel cable rails 1 can be realized, and then one of the steel cable rails 1 can be turned around to the other steel cable rail 1.

[0063] In addition, the specific structure of the steel cable rail connection device can be referred to in Example 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] The two steel cable rails are arranged at an angle, and the connecting rail 3 is a curved rail for connecting the two steel cable rails. Specifically, one of the saddles 6 is provided with one of the supports 2 and one of the supports 3, and the other saddle 6 is provided with another support 2 and another support 3. One end of the connecting rail 3 is connected to the support 3 on one of the saddles 6, and the other end of the connecting rail 3 is connected to the support 3 on the other saddle 6. In this way, the connection of two steel cable rails at an angle can be achieved.

[0067] Among them, the angle between the two steel cable rails can be any angle between 0° and 180°, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 135°, 150°, etc., which is not limited here. This embodiment takes the angle between the two steel cable rails as 135° as an example.

[0068] In addition, the specific structure of the steel cable rail connection device can be referred to in Example 1, and will not be described in detail here.
