DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The application provides a three-dimensional warehouse shuttle car, a three-dimensional warehouse and a production system, in which the gear and the rack installed on the opposite side of the main track do not directly interfere with each other.

The rail system 2 includes a main rail 2.1 and a guide rail 2.2. The main rail 2.1 is arranged in a ring shape, such as a "mouth" shape, a "concave" shape, a "convex" shape, etc. The shuttle 3 circulates along the main rail 2 to form a loop. The main rail does not have a three-way branch, and compared with the prior art, a shutter switch mechanism is not required. One side of the rail system 2 is connected with an in-out warehouse conveying line 4, and a production line is connected with the stereoscopic warehouse through the in-out warehouse conveying line.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6 , 7 , the shuttle 3 includes a vehicle body, a motor 3.1 is mounted on the vehicle body, an output shaft of the motor 3.1 is in transmission connection with a rotating shaft 3.2, the motor 3.1 is used as a driving mechanism to drive the rotating shaft, gear wheels 3.3 that rotate together with the rotating shaft 3.2 are mounted at both ends of the rotating shaft 3.2, support wheels 3.4 that can rotate relative to the gear wheels and the rotating shaft are mounted on the rotating shaft 3.2 through bearings. Guide wheels 3.5 are also mounted on the vehicle body, the guide wheels 3.5 are matched with the guide rail 2.2, guide the shuttle, and make the shuttle keep horizontal. Four guide wheels 3.5 are arranged at each end, the four guide wheels at the same end are distributed on both sides of the gear wheels, and the two guide wheels at each side are distributed vertically. Two guide wheels can also be arranged at each end. Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 5 , the guide rail of the present application is arranged at the vertical part and the turning part of the main rail. For the guide wheels that are vertically distributed, two guide branches 2.2.1 are arranged at the turning part, so as to guide the two guide wheels on the same side of the gear wheel into or out of the same vertical guide rail. The guide rails at the vertical part and the turning part are arranged at the outer side of the main rail, and are not arranged at the inner side of the main rail, as shown in Figure 5 , when the shuttle 3 is guided by the guide rail on the left side, the guide wheels on the left side of the shuttle 3 run on the guide rail, and when the shuttle 3 is guided by the guide rail on the right side, the guide wheels on the right side of the shuttle 3 run on the guide rail. As can be seen from Figure 5 , the present application also arranges guide rails at the horizontal position, and the guide rails at the horizontal part can be arranged above or below the main rail, and guide the guide wheels on the upper part and the lower part of the shuttle 3, respectively. Figure 4

[0031] The matching relationship between the gear wheels 3.3, the support wheels 3.4 and the main rail 2.1 is shown in Figure 8 ​As shown, the cross section of the main track 2.1 is U-shaped, including a first side wall 2.1.1, a second side wall 2.1.2 and a connecting portion 2.1.3 connecting the first side wall 2.1.1 and the second side wall 2.1.2. The first side wall 2.1.1 is internally provided with a rack 2.1.4. The gear 3.3 and the support wheel 3.4 are both located in the groove of the main track 2.1. The support wheel 3.4 runs on at least one of the first side wall 2.1.1 and the second side wall 2.1.2, that is, abuts and runs on the inner wall of at least one of the first side wall 2.1.1 and the second side wall 2.1.2. The gear 3.3 is engaged with the rack 2.1.4 on the first side wall 2.1.1. The outer diameter of the support wheel 3.4 is greater than the outer diameter of the gear 3.3, so the vehicle body is mainly supported by the support wheel 3.4. The support wheel 3.4 shown in the figure is located on the inner side of the gear 3.3, and the inner end of the support wheel 3.4 is provided with a limiting flange 3.4.1 matched with the free end of the first side wall and the second side wall, that is, the outer diameter of the flange 3.4.1 is greater than the width of the main track groove. The limiting flange 3.4.1 is used to limit the axial movement of the shuttle vehicle to avoid shaking on the track.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2, the main track is a horizontal section, the first side wall 2.1.1 with the rack 2.1.4 is located below the second side wall 2.1.2, at this time, the support wheel 3.4 mainly abuts against the first side wall 2.1.1, and the gear 3.3 is engaged with the rack 2.1.4. If the shuttle vehicle runs from left to right, at this time, the gear 2.3 and the support wheel 3.4 both rotate clockwise. Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 3, the main track is a horizontal section, the first side wall 2.1.1 with the rack 2.1.4 is located above the second side wall 2.1.2, at this time, the support wheel 3.4 mainly abuts against the second side wall 2.1.2, and the gear 3.3 is engaged with the rack 2.1.4. If the shuttle vehicle runs from left to right, at this time, the gear 2.3 rotates counterclockwise, and the support wheel 3.4 rotates clockwise.

[0033] Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 4, the main track is a vertical section, the first side wall 2.1.1 with the rack 2.1.4 is located to the right of the second side wall 2.1.2, at this time, due to the gravity of the shuttle vehicle itself, the support wheel 3.4 mainly abuts against the second side wall 2.1.2, and the gear 3.3 is engaged with the rack 2.1.4, so that the shuttle vehicle is stuck and cannot fall, that is, the support wheel also plays a role of stabilizing the shuttle vehicle in the vertical section, and cooperates with the gear to prevent the shuttle vehicle from falling. If the shuttle vehicle runs from bottom to top, at this time, the gear 2.3 rotates clockwise, and the support wheel 3.4 rotates counterclockwise.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5, the main track is a horizontal section, the first side wall 2.1.1 with the rack 2.1.4 is located above the second side wall 2.1.2, at this time, the support wheel 3.4 mainly abuts against the second side wall 2.1.2, and the gear 3.3 is engaged with the rack 2.1.4. If the shuttle vehicle runs from left to right, at this time, the gear 2.3 rotates counterclockwise, and the support wheel 3.4 rotates clockwise. Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 6, the main track is a vertical section, the first side wall 2.1.1 with the rack 2.1.4 is located to the right of the second side wall 2.1.2, at this time, due to the gravity of the shuttle vehicle itself, the support wheel 3.4 mainly abuts against the second side wall 2.1.2, and the gear 3.3 is engaged with the rack 2.1.4, so that the shuttle vehicle is stuck and cannot fall, that is, the support wheel also plays a role of stabilizing the shuttle vehicle in the vertical section, and cooperates with the gear to prevent the shuttle vehicle from falling. If the shuttle vehicle runs from bottom to top, at this time, the gear 2.3 rotates clockwise, and the support wheel 3.4 rotates counterclockwise.

[0035] ​The rotation shaft 3.2 is provided with an encoder 3.6 connected with a controller 3.7. The encoder 3.6 is used to record the rotation angle of the rotation shaft and send data to the controller 3.7, which is used to calculate the rotation angle corresponding to a certain number of teeth and monitor whether the actual rotation angle reaches the corresponding value. For example, the position where the main track connects the storage and retrieval conveying line can be taken as the origin, and the cargo frames passing through in sequence can be numbered in sequence along the main track in the direction of the shuttle vehicle. The number of rack teeth from the origin to each numbered cargo frame is fixed, and the angle of rotation of the corresponding rotation shaft required to reach the specified cargo frame from the origin is calculated. When the rotation angle recorded by the encoder reaches the corresponding value, it means that the shuttle vehicle has reached the specified cargo frame, and the control motor stops driving the shuttle vehicle to move, and the cargo taking mechanism 3.8 on the shuttle vehicle puts the goods into the cargo frame or takes the goods from the cargo frame to the shuttle vehicle.

[0036] The walking power of the shuttle vehicle in the track comes from the gear 3.3 driven by the motor 3.1; when the gear 3.3 rotates, it pushes the rack 2.1.4, thereby walking on the rack. The main track 2.1 includes horizontal, vertical and curved sections, and the shuttle vehicle involves horizontal walking, vertical walking and curved walking. Through force analysis, it can be known that the maximum torque required for vertical walking is the largest, the walking speed V and the acceleration time t1 of the shuttle vehicle are known quantities, and the acceleration α of the shuttle vehicle can be obtained, α = V / t1, assuming that the walking speed of the shuttle vehicle is 1 m / s and the acceleration time t1 is 0.5 m, then the acceleration α = V / t1 = 1 / 0.5 = 2 m / s 2 .

[0037] In combination Figure 11 , 12 , because it is a vertical climbing motion, the two components of the gravity are F1 and F2, F2 acts on the side wall of the main track through the rack, which is manifested as a sliding thrust with an angle θ acting on the rack 3.3, which is equal to the pressure angle of the gear 3.3. The thrust is finally transmitted to the contact surface between the support wheel 3.4 and the main track 2.1, forming a balance to keep the gear 3.3 from running off the main track in the vertical direction. When the shuttle vehicle climbs, the component F1 of the gravity acts on the support wheel, assuming that the total weight of the shuttle vehicle (including the goods carried by the shuttle vehicle) is M, then F1 = tan θ·M·g, g is the acceleration of gravity. Assuming that the gear 3.3 with a pressure angle θ of 20° is selected, then F1 = tan 20°·M·g = 0.364×70×9.8 = 249.7 N.

[0038] Because the support wheel rolls on the main track, there is a frictional reaction, assuming the friction coefficient is μ, the shuttle vehicle overcomes the friction, plus the gravity that needs to be overcome when climbing, and the upward force of the entire shuttle vehicle walking upward, then the required thrust F of the shuttle vehicle vertically climbing upward can be obtained F = F1 μ + Fg + M α = F1 μ + M g + M α. Assuming μ = 0.2, the total weight of the shuttle vehicle M is 70 kg, then F = F1 μ + M g + M α = 249.7 x 0.2 + 70 x 9.8 + 70 x 2 = 876 N.

[0039] When selecting the gear, it is necessary to judge whether the selection is appropriate according to the related coefficients of the gear, wherein the load coefficient KA = 1 ~ 2.25, the safety coefficient SB = 1.1 ~ 1.4, and the running time coefficient fn = 1.05 ~ 2.3. Thus, the gear coefficient theoretical maximum value that tends to be safer is KA SB fn = 2.25 1.4 2.3 = 7.245, and the gear coefficient minimum value that meets the minimum configuration requirement is KA SB fn = 1 1.1 1.05 = 1.155. The gear coefficient of the selected gear should be between 1.155 and 7.245, and should be selected within the range according to actual needs.

[0040] In the case of known gear modulus and tooth number, the meshing torque T and the addendum circle diameter D of the gear can be obtained, which are standard values and can be obtained by consulting gear standard data. Assuming that a spur gear with a modulus of 4 and a tooth number of 18 is selected, the meshing torque T of the gear can be queried as 20.57 Nm.

[0041] The number n of the gear 3.3 of the shuttle vehicle can be 2, and the shuttle vehicle can be provided with 4 gears or even more, and the number of gears is determined according to the design situation. Figure 7 The illustrated shuttle vehicle adopts 2 gears. Assuming that the shuttle vehicle adopts 4 gears, the force F3 of each gear is F3 = F / n = 876 / 4 = 219 N.

[0042] The gear torque T1 of the gear is T1 = F3 D / 2, based on the above information, the gear torque T1 of the selected gear can be calculated T1 = F3 R = F3 D / 2 = 219 N 80 mm / 2 / 1000 = 8.76 Nm, wherein the gear diameter unit in the above formula is millimeter, so it needs to be converted into meter by dividing by 1000, and R is the addendum circle radius. The gear coefficient of the gear is T / T1 = 20.57 / 8.76 = 2.348.

[0043] The gear coefficient selected in the above embodiment is 2.348, which is between 1.155 and 7.245, meets the requirements, and can be used for the shuttle vehicle. The gear is installed at both ends of the rotating shaft of the shuttle vehicle. According to the selection experience, the gear coefficient is generally recommended to be greater than 2, and the appropriate gear coefficient can be selected according to the actual situation.
