Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation equipment technology for logistics warehousing systems, and specifically to a rescue system and control method for a two-way shuttle car carrying parcels on a shelf. Background Technology
[0002] Multi-level shuttle systems typically consist of multiple multi-level shuttles running on tracks on each level of the racking aisles. The aisle width is usually between 800mm and 1400mm, and the spacing between levels is between 300mm and 800mm, resulting in limited operating space. Multi-level shuttle systems can have up to 30-40 rack levels. As the number of racking aisles increases with demand and site size, the number of multi-level shuttles also increases, leading to a higher frequency of malfunctions. Troubleshooting multi-level shuttle system malfunctions requires personnel to enter the aisles to inspect the fault, analyze the cause, and use appropriate tools for repairs. A malfunction can significantly delay the operation of all multi-level shuttles on the affected level. Furthermore, the high-altitude and confined environment of racking operations makes maintenance of multi-level shuttles challenging due to poor lighting and difficulty in carrying tools, resulting in complex and unsafe maintenance procedures.
[0003] The most common type of rescue vehicle on the market is a fully manual, manually operated vehicle with relatively simple functions. It can be driven forward and backward by hand-cranking a handle, and the vehicle is surrounded by a frame to protect the personnel standing inside. There is a hook at the front of the vehicle that can be manually attached to a multi-level shuttle car to tow it back to the end. However, this solution has significant limitations, requiring a dedicated maintenance area at the end of the track for maintenance and placement of maintenance trolleys. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rescue system and control method for a two-way component box shuttle car on a shelving unit, which automatically drags the faulty multi-layer shuttle car to the end of the track, then lifts it to the ground via a layer-changing elevator, and then drags it out of the warehouse area, eliminating the need for inspection and maintenance in the aisle or at the end of the aisle.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A rescue system for a two-way rack-mounted box shuttle includes at least two vertically stacked racks with at least one horizontal aisle, a layer-changing elevator, and a transfer track. The system is characterized by further comprising:
[0007] The rescue vehicle is used to tow a malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car along the multi-track, unlock the brake of the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car, and detect the position of the forks of the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car.
[0008] Transfer straight through, moving vertically along the multi-level shuttle car track on the shelf, used to transfer multi-level shuttle cars and rescue vehicles to the maintenance work position along the straight through track perpendicular to the aisle direction;
[0009] The maintenance station is used to receive faulty multi-level shuttle cars and wait for manual inspection. The maintenance station is equipped with a manual transfer track, which allows manual operation to move half of the station carrying the rescue car to another station and dock with the track. The rescue car can be transferred directly from the manual transfer track and re-enter the warehouse area to rescue the faulty multi-level shuttle car.
[0010] The transfer platform of the layer-changing elevator can move up and down in the vertical direction to lift and lower the faulty multi-layer shuttle car and rescue vehicle from the shelf to the ground and into the maintenance channel to reach the maintenance station.
[0011] Furthermore, a hook fork bracket is provided on the lower front part of the rescue vehicle frame, and at least two hook fork motors are connected to the end of the hook fork bracket. The rotation axis of the hook fork is parallel to the direction of travel of the rescue vehicle. Copper plates are installed on the hook fork motor hook forks, and the copper plate connection circuit can provide a suitable small current when appropriate. At least two photoelectric switches are provided above the running wheel supports of the rescue vehicle.
[0012] Furthermore, the rescue vehicle is equipped with a laser rangefinder, a positioning device, a battery, and a communication device on its frame, and a battery charging contactor is also installed under the frame of the rescue vehicle.
[0013] Furthermore, the rescue vehicle is also equipped with a buffer and a camera assembly with a gimbal on its frame. The buffer is installed at the front of the rescue vehicle, and the camera assembly is mounted on the frame via a bracket.
[0014] Furthermore, the multi-level shuttle car is equipped with a hook fork device, which is connected to the hook fork of the rescue vehicle to withstand the hook fork drag force. The hook fork device is equipped with a contact block. When the contact block connection line receives a small current, it can unlock the brake of the multi-level shuttle car travel system. When the copper plate on the hook fork of the rescue vehicle contacts the contact block on the hook fork device of the multi-level shuttle car, the rescue vehicle can generate a small current, and the multi-level shuttle car travel system unlocks the brake.
[0015] Furthermore, a docking buffer device is provided at the docking point of the floor-changing hoist, the transfer track, the transfer track, and the maintenance station.
[0016] The present invention also includes a control method for a rescue system suitable for a two-way rack-mounted box shuttle, the method comprising the following steps:
[0017] When a multi-level shuttle car malfunctions and needs repair, the rescue vehicle will travel through the transfer track, transfer rail, and floor-changing elevator to the floor level where the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car is located, and will reach the vicinity of the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car from the side closest to the floor-changing elevator.
[0018] The rescue vehicle uses laser rangefinder to detect the distance to the multi-level shuttle. When it reaches the distance, the maintenance personnel can remotely control the camera to observe through the pan-tilt camera. Two photoelectric switches are used to check whether the forks are in the middle position. If the forks are not in the middle position, the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle can be ordered to move the forks. If the forks cannot be moved, wait for personnel to handle the situation.
[0019] When the forks are in the neutral position, the two hooks on the hook fork bracket rotate, and at the same time, a continuous unlockable brake current is applied to the copper plates on the two hooks. The rescue vehicle moves slowly until the copper plates on the two hooks make good contact with the contact blocks on the hook fork device of the multi-level shuttle. At this time, the current will unlock the brake of the faulty multi-level shuttle, and the rescue vehicle can continue to move to drag the faulty multi-level shuttle in one direction.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps:
[0021] At the docking points of the shelving and the layer-changing elevator, the layer-changing elevator and the transfer rail, the transfer rail and the transfer straight track, and the transfer straight track and the maintenance station rail, there are docking buffer devices with the same structure to connect the fixed rails with the rails on the moving equipment transfer platform. During docking, the transfer platform moves, the limit protection device on the transfer platform automatically moves away, and the limit buffer protection device on the docking buffer device is pushed open. The rails that originally had a large gap are now docked, and the multi-level shuttle can pass smoothly. Afterward, the transfer platform resets, and the limit protection device on the transfer platform automatically closes, and the limit buffer protection device on the docking buffer device also closes.
[0022] The rescue vehicle tows the multi-level shuttle car to the floor-changing elevator. The floor-changing elevator receives the task and picks up the equipment. The photoelectric switch used for floor-changing preparation is triggered. The transfer platform of the floor-changing elevator runs, triggering the docking buffer device. The track docking occurs. The limit buffer protection device and the limit protection device are open. The rescue vehicle tows the faulty multi-level shuttle car into the transfer platform. After the photoelectric switch on the transfer platform detects that the equipment is in place, the docking buffer device closes. The transfer platform is then raised and lowered to the transfer track.
[0023] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps:
[0024] The loading platform of the layer-changing hoist docks with the transfer track. The rescue vehicle drags the multi-level shuttle car to move on the transfer track. After receiving the task, the transfer vehicle picks up the equipment. When the transfer vehicle arrives, it runs on the transfer platform, which triggers the docking buffer device. When the track docks, the limit buffer protection device and the limit protection device are opened. The rescue vehicle drags the faulty multi-level shuttle car into the transfer platform.
[0025] After the photoelectric switch on the transfer platform detects that the equipment is in place, the docking buffer device closes, and the transfer vehicle runs directly to the maintenance station. The transfer track docks with the maintenance station, and the rescue vehicle drags the multi-layer shuttle car to the maintenance station. The transfer docking buffer device closes, and the transfer vehicle can leave to perform other tasks.
[0026] At the maintenance station, the rescue vehicle moves in the opposite direction a certain distance, causing the copper plate on the hook motor to disengage from the contact device on the multi-level shuttle car. The faulty multi-level shuttle car's brake is locked, the travel system is locked, and the hook motor rotates to a position where it is disengaged from the contact device and will not touch the bottom of the multi-level shuttle car. The rescue vehicle moves forward to the transferable maintenance station section, while the faulty multi-level shuttle car remains in place.
[0027] The manual transfer track moves the maintenance station section to another maintenance station, allowing the rescue vehicle to drive to the charging station or have the transfer vehicle pass through directly to pick up the equipment for the next task.
[0028] Furthermore, when the rescue vehicle fails to rescue the malfunctioning multi-story shuttle, it waits at the charging station in the maintenance bay area.
[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:
[0030] 1. A rescue system and control method for a two-way component box shuttle car on a rack, which has a reasonable structure, reliable use, and high safety. It automatically drags the faulty multi-level shuttle car to the end of the track, then lifts it to the ground via a layer-changing lifting machine, and then drags it out of the warehouse area, reducing the number of times the warehouse area needs to be entered to handle the fault, and eliminating the need to stop the operation of the corresponding multi-level shuttle cars on the same maintenance layer.
[0031] 2. A rescue system and control method for a two-way component box shuttle car on a rack, which automatically drags a faulty multi-level shuttle car to the end of the track, then lifts it to the ground via a layer-changing lifting machine, and then drags it out of the warehouse area; it can initially detect the status of the forks of the multi-level shuttle car to prevent damage to the forks during dragging; it does not require maintenance personnel to enter the warehouse area, and does not require pausing the entire maintenance layer;
[0032] 3. A rescue system and control method for a two-way component box shuttle car on a shelving unit, which uses a rotating hook fork to hook the multi-level shuttle car to be repaired. The hook fork can hook when it is rotated out and cannot hook when it is rotated in. The hooking can be done automatically without human operation. The hooking position on the multi-level shuttle car has a spring-loaded support. There are two cable contact points connected to the support and the hook fork of the multi-level shuttle car. After corresponding contact, the brake of the faulty multi-level shuttle car can be unlocked. The rescue vehicle has sensors that can preliminarily determine whether the faulty multi-level shuttle car can be moved out of the warehouse without human intervention. Attached Figure Description

[0049] A docking buffer device is provided at the junction of the floor-changing elevator 4, the transfer track 6, the transfer track 5 and the maintenance station 8.
[0050] The present invention also includes a control method for a rescue system suitable for a two-way rack-mounted box shuttle, the method comprising the following steps:
[0051] When the multi-level shuttle car 2 malfunctions and needs to be repaired, the rescue vehicle 1 goes through the transfer track 7, transfer track 5, and floor-changing elevator 4 to the floor where the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car 2 is located, and reaches the vicinity of the malfunctioning multi-level shuttle car from the side closest to the floor-changing elevator 4.
[0052] The rescue vehicle 1 uses laser rangefinder to detect the distance to the multi-level shuttle 2. When it reaches the distance, the maintenance personnel can remotely control the camera to observe through the camera with a pan-tilt head. Two photoelectric switches are used to detect whether the forks are in the middle position. If the forks are not in the middle position, the faulty multi-level shuttle 2 can be ordered to move the forks. If the forks cannot be moved, wait for personnel to handle the situation.
[0053] When the forks are in the neutral position, the two hooks on the hook fork bracket rotate, and at the same time, the copper plates on the two hooks are supplied with a continuous unlockable brake current. The rescue vehicle 1 moves slowly until the copper plates on the two hooks make good contact with the contact blocks on the hook fork device of the multi-level shuttle 2. At this time, the current will unlock the brake of the faulty multi-level shuttle, and the rescue vehicle 1 can continue to move to drag the faulty multi-level shuttle to move in one direction.

During docking, the transfer platform moves, the limit protection device on the transfer platform automatically moves away, and the limit buffer protection device on the docking buffer device is pushed open. The rails that originally had a large gap have now been docked, and the multi-layer shuttle 2 can pass smoothly. Afterward, the transfer platform resets, and the limit protection device on the transfer platform automatically closes, and the limit buffer protection device on the docking buffer device also closes.
[0056] Rescue vehicle 1 tows multi-level shuttle 2 to the floor-changing elevator 4. The floor-changing elevator 4 receives the task to pick up the equipment. The photoelectric switch used for floor-changing preparation is triggered. The transfer platform of the floor-changing elevator 4 runs, triggering the docking buffer device. The track docks. The limit buffer protection device and the limit protection device are open. Rescue vehicle 1 tows the faulty multi-level shuttle 2 into the transfer platform. After the photoelectric switch on the transfer platform detects that the equipment is in place, the docking buffer device closes. The transfer platform is raised and lowered to the transfer track.
[0057] It also includes the following steps:
[0058] The loading platform of the layer-changing elevator 4 docks with the transfer track 5. The rescue vehicle 1 drags the multi-level shuttle 2 to move on the transfer track. After receiving the task, the transfer straight-through 7 picks up the equipment. When the transfer straight-through 7 arrives, it runs on the transfer platform, which triggers the docking buffer device. When the track docks, the limit buffer protection device and the limit protection device are opened. The rescue vehicle 1 drags the faulty multi-level shuttle 2 into the transfer platform of the transfer straight-through 7.
[0059] After the photoelectric switch on the transfer platform detects that the equipment is in place, the docking buffer device closes, and the transfer vehicle runs directly to the maintenance station.
