Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of container cage transportation, and in particular to an intelligent container cage transportation system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] With the in-depth development of globalization and networking, the logistics industry is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Traditional logistics sorting methods can no longer meet the needs of efficient operation in modern society, and the research and development of container cage automation technology has become the key to the development of the logistics industry. In the logistics industry, efficiency is crucial.

[0003] At present, container cages are widely used in the centralized turnover of parcels in the logistics industry. The transfer of cage trucks between different workshops is generally completed through automated logistics conveyor lines. How cage trucks can complete automatic loading and unloading on logistics conveyor lines has become the primary problem faced.

[0004] There are two main ways of loading and unloading materials: lifting and transporting from underground and lifting and transporting from the ground. Lifting and transporting: first place the cage car on the top of the lifting and conveying equipment, then lift it to the same height as the conveying line and then transfer it to the conveying line; this method requires digging a deep pit on the workshop floor to install the lifting and conveying equipment, which requires a large transformation of the workshop, the cost of the lifting and conveying equipment is high and the maintenance is extremely inconvenient.

[0005] In order to solve the above defects, the prior art uses a cylinder to control the lifting of the lifting platform of the transfer machine. Although it can realize two-way transfer of goods between two conveyor lines, when carrying heavy goods, the weight of the goods will generate a large load on the cylinder, resulting in a rapid drop of the transfer machine when it descends and a certain impact on the expansion and contraction of the cylinder, which makes the stability of the transfer machine poor during the lifting process; for example, a lifting transfer machine with Chinese patent publication number CN213325658U discloses the use of a cam to control the lifting of the mobile machine lifting platform, but the structure is relatively complicated, using a built-in power source, and driving the drive shaft through multiple chains to drive the cam to rotate, so that the cam lifts the mobile mechanism, and this structure greatly increases the occupied space of the transfer machine.

[0006] Lifting and handling: Place the cage car at the designated location, lift it through the gantry mechanism, and then move it to the conveyor line; this method has low handling efficiency, occupies a large space, and the equipment cost of the gantry mechanism is high. Summary of the invention
