[0003] The existing shuttle vehicles currently lack an automatic positioning device to fix the shuttle vehicle body after transporting the cores to the shelf. Therefore, during the process of placing or transferring the cores, the shuttle vehicle is prone to shifting, which can cause unstable placement of the cores and lead to safety accidents.
[0004] Secondly, the existing method of adding a shuttle to the shelf is manual operation or with the help of a forklift. Since the shuttle is heavy and when loading plugs into the shuttle, the wheels on both sides need to correspond to the parallel plug loading tracks at the same time, manual operation often requires the cooperation of multiple people, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is difficult to control the alignment of the plug loading tracks with the help of a forklift. These operating methods reduce work efficiency, cannot guarantee operating accuracy, and may cause damage to the shelf or the shuttle if operated improperly.
[0005] Finally, some existing shuttle wheels are gear structures, and the gears and racks on the tracks need to correspond. Therefore, when the plugs are installed into the shuttle, the number of teeth on the parallel sides of the shuttle need to correspond, otherwise the shuttle wheels and the racks on the tracks will be stuck to each other.

[0065] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components, it can be a wireless connection, or it can be a wired connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In a fuel cell, hydrogen, air and liquid are three media that are transported independently of each other, which is known to ordinary technicians in this field.
[0066] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0067] In the storage system of offshore drilling vessels, shuttles are a common tool for transporting cores, which can carry cores in and out of the warehouse, and can also sort and organize goods. The existing core shuttles lack automatic positioning devices to fix the shuttles after transporting the goods to the storage location of the shelf. Therefore, during the placement or transfer of cores, the shuttles are prone to displacement, which can cause unstable placement of cores and safety accidents.
[0068] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figure 1-10As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic limiting device for a core shuttle, which is particularly suitable for use on a shelf 4 of an offshore drilling vessel. The automatic limiting device includes a positioning mechanism 1, and the positioning mechanism 1 can be horizontally and laterally arranged on the shuttle 3. When the shuttle 3 needs to be limited and fixed, the positioning mechanism 1 is telescopically moved to realize the positioning of the shuttle 3 on the shelf 4.
[0069] See also Figure 1 As shown, specifically in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 1 includes a driving motor 11, a rotating disk 12, a connecting rod 13, a guide fixing plate 14 and a latch shaft 16, wherein:
[0070] The drive motor 11 is horizontally installed in the shuttle 3 to provide driving power to the positioning mechanism 1. The rotating disk 12 is vertically connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 11. When the output shaft of the drive motor 11 rotates at a certain amplitude, the rotating disk 12 is driven to swing within a certain amplitude. Preferably, the rotating disk 12 in this embodiment is set as a disc structure to facilitate manufacturing and installation. In some other embodiments, the rotating disk 12 can also be set as an elliptical cam structure, etc. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the shape of the rotating disk 12.
[0071] The guide fixing plate 14 is a U-shaped frame structure, which is vertically and symmetrically installed on the end surface of the driving motor 11 and provides installation support for other components of the positioning mechanism 1.

[0073] When the driving motor 11 is working, it will drive the rotating disk 12 to rotate with a certain amplitude, thereby driving the connecting rod 13 to move, and the connecting rod 13 will pull the latch shaft 16 to slide in the self-lubricating copper sleeve 15, thereby driving the latch shaft 16 to move horizontally along the self-lubricating copper sleeve 15.
[0074] Therefore, a flexible, maneuverable, safe and efficient shuttle vehicle 3 is introduced into the ocean drilling ship for logistics operations. Combined with complex sea conditions that may cause the ocean drilling ship to experience large-angle roll and pitch, the stability, balance and control accuracy of the ship-borne automated shuttle vehicle are optimized, and a positioning mechanism 1 is added to ensure that the equipment meets the safety requirements under use.

[0091] Specifically, see Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic limit device also includes a code scanning device 5 arranged on the side of the shuttle vehicle 3 and a QR code label 6 arranged on the track side plate 22. The code scanning device 5 is located on the side close to the track side plate 22, and the QR code label 6 is located on the side close to the shuttle vehicle 3. When the shuttle vehicle 3 is close to the inventory location of the shelf 4, the code scanning device 5 is suitable for scanning and reading the information of the QR code label 6 to control the movement of the shuttle vehicle 3.
[0092] Therefore, when the offshore drilling ship is warned of large-angle roll or pitch, the shuttle vehicle needs to enter the fixed state in advance. At this time, the locked state of the shuttle vehicle 3 is as follows: Figure 2 , 3 As shown in , 4, in this process, after the shuttle 3 receives the warning signal, the shuttle 3 will automatically reach the nearest storage location.
