[0025] This invention provides a variable-position dual-station shuttle.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The system includes two vehicle bodies 1, with a plate 2 between them. The plate 2 includes a fixed base plate 21, and rotating components 4 on both sides of the plate 2. The rotating components 4 include gears 41 and racks 42. A moving component 3 and a driving component 5 are provided between the rotating components 4 and the fixed base plate 21. The moving component 3 includes a connecting block 31, a first drive shaft 32, a connecting plate 33, and a second drive shaft 34. The connecting block 31 is fixedly installed with the driving component 5. The second drive shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the gears 41. Two sliding rods 362 are rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the second drive shaft 34. The ends of the two sliding rods 362 away from the second drive shaft 34 are respectively rotatably connected to a first moving rod 37 and a second moving rod 38 via rollers 363. The first moving rod 37 and the second moving rod 38 are respectively fixedly connected to the two vehicle bodies 1. A chain 46 and two sprockets 45 are provided between the first drive shaft 32 and the second drive shaft 34.

[0027] Specifically, two vehicle bodies 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the fixed base plate 21. The two L-shaped vehicle bodies 1 and the movable baffle 22 arranged between the two vehicle bodies 1 form a double workstation, which can transport two goods at one time.

[0028] When large goods need to be transported, the control drive assembly 5 operates. At this time, the electric cylinder 51 fixed to the top of the fixed base plate 21 operates, causing the electric cylinder working rod 52 inside the electric cylinder 51 to retract. Since the top of the electric cylinder working rod 52 is fixedly connected to the front connecting block 31, it will pull the front connecting block 31 to move downward. Since the drive shaft 32 passes through the connecting block 31 and the connecting plate 33, the connecting block 31 drives the drive shaft 32 to move downward, and the drive shaft 32 drives the connecting plate 33 to move downward. The T-shaped assembly 36 is fixedly connected to the side away from the gear 41 with a guide rail 35. The bottom end of the downward-moving connecting plate 33 passes through the guide rail 35. The connecting plate 33, which is limited by the guide rail 35, can only move downward vertically.

[0029] During the vertical downward movement of the connecting plate 33 driving the second transmission shaft 34, the second transmission shaft 34 slides within the groove 3611 on the T-shaped rod 361 via the slide rod 362. This allows the T-shaped rod 361 to support and limit the movement of the second transmission shaft 34. Furthermore, one end of the slide rod 362, which is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the second transmission shaft 34, extends into the T-shaped rod 361. Therefore, the slide rod 362 unfolds under the limitation of the T-shaped rod 361, causing its bottom end to move away from the connecting plate 33. Figure 7 As shown.

[0030] During the unfolding of the slide bar 362, the roller 363 connected to the slide bar 362 moves, and the roller 363 is disposed inside the second slide groove 3612. Therefore, the roller 363 moves horizontally under the limitation of the T-shaped component 36, causing the two rollers 363 to move to the left and right sides respectively, connected to the first moving rod 37 and the second moving rod 38. Figure 5 As shown.

[0031] After the drive assembly 5 operates, the moving rod 37 and the moving rod 38 in the moving assembly 3, which cooperate with the drive assembly 5, respectively drive the fixed vehicle body 1 to move, causing the two vehicle bodies 1 to separate, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0032] Simultaneously, since the second transmission shaft 34 passes through the connecting plate 33 and is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 33, the gear 41 fixed to the second transmission shaft 34 can rotate. The gear 41, driven downwards by the second transmission shaft 34, meshes with the rack 42 fixedly connected to the T-shaped assembly 36, thus causing the gear 41 to rotate under the action of the rack 42. A rack fixing bracket 43 is fixedly connected between the rack 42 and the guide rail 35, supporting and limiting the rack 42 to ensure stable operation.

[0033] Meanwhile, two sprockets 45 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of drive shaft 1 32 and drive shaft 2 34 respectively, and chain 46 is set on the outside of the two sprockets 45, forming a transmission structure between drive shaft 1 32 and drive shaft 2 34. When gear 41 drives the internal drive shaft 2 34 to rotate, drive shaft 2 34 drives drive shaft 1 32 to rotate through the transmission structure. One end of the rotating drive shaft 1 32 is fixedly connected to the movable baffle 22, driving the movable baffle 22 to rotate.

[0034] After the drive assembly 5 has finished working, the movable baffle 22 rotates 90°, so that the movable baffle 22 is positioned between the two vehicle bodies 1, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, plate 2 no longer separates the space between the two car bodies 1. Plate 2 and the two car bodies 1 constitute a shuttle car with a larger transportation position, which is suitable for transporting larger goods and can adapt to the transportation of goods of different volumes. It ensures the adaptability of the shuttle car composed of car body 1, plate 2, moving component 3, rotating component 4, drive component 5 and other structures, improves the handling speed and reduces the production cost.

[0035] Guide rails 2 39 are slidably installed on both sides of the vehicle body 1. The guide rails 2 39 fixed on the top of the fixed base plate 21 limit the movement of the vehicle body 1, ensuring that the vehicle body 1 moves horizontally and preventing the two vehicle bodies 1 from not being able to connect together.

[0036] A locking plate ejection assembly 6 is provided at the lower part of the rear connecting block 31. The hydraulic pressure plate 61 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 31. The connecting block 31 drives the hydraulic pressure plate 61 to move downward. The moving hydraulic pressure plate 61 pushes the hydraulic working rod 62 fixedly connected at the bottom, so that the hydraulic working rod 62 squeezes the hydraulic oil inside the hydraulic cylinder 63 sleeved at the bottom, and the hydraulic pressure inside the hydraulic cylinder 63 fixed at the top of the fixed base plate 21 rises.

[0037] A guide hose 66 is provided between the hydraulic chamber 64 and the hydraulic cylinder 63 in the vehicle body 1. The hydraulic oil inside the hydraulic cylinder 63 enters the hydraulic chamber 64 through the guide hose 66, causing the hydraulic working rod 65 installed inside the hydraulic chamber 64 to extend. The extended hydraulic working rod 65 pushes the locking plate 71, which is fixedly connected at one end, to move, so that one end of the locking plate 71 approaches the movable baffle 22. A locking hole 712 is opened on one side of the locking plate 71. A spring 72 passes through the locking hole 712. Magnet 73 is installed, and electromagnet 74 is installed inside the locking hole 221. When electromagnet 74 is energized, it generates a magnetic force on magnet 73. The magnetic force pulls magnet 73, causing part of magnet 73 to move into the locking hole 221, while the other part remains inside the locking hole 712. Magnet 73 is locked between the locking plate 71 and the movable baffle 22, limiting the movement of the movable baffle 22 and making the connection between the movable baffle 22 and the vehicle body 1 more stable, thus ensuring the stability of the transported goods.

[0038] Furthermore, a locking surface 711 is provided on one side of the locking plate 71, and notches are provided on both sides of the movable baffle 22, one above the other. The locking surface 711 allows the locking plate 71 to be locked together with the movable baffle 22. When the movable baffle 22 and the locking plate 71 are subjected to force, they can share the force and ensure the stability of the structure.
