[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent three-dimensional warehousing, and more specifically relates to a rescue method and a rescue device for a shuttle vehicle. Background Art

[0002] When a shuttle car is transporting goods on the travel track of a high-bay warehouse, if the shuttle car malfunctions and cannot operate normally, it is difficult to move due to its own resistance and the gravity of the goods. The common shuttle car rescue method is to use a non-faulty shuttle car to push or pull the faulty shuttle car to the maintenance site. During this process, the power required by the non-faulty shuttle car is too large, and there is a possibility of causing the non-faulty shuttle car to malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for rescuing a shuttle vehicle. By lifting the faulty vehicle above the travel track, the faulty shuttle vehicle is prevented from generating force between the vehicle and the travel track after it stops running, thereby enabling the rescue shuttle vehicle to smoothly transport the faulty shuttle vehicle along the travel track to a maintenance site for repair.

[0004] Technical Solution: To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a rescue method and a rescue device for a shuttle vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the shuttle vehicle travels on the inner side of a travel track consisting of a double-row track, which is characterized by:

[0005] Step 1: When a shuttle vehicle carrying cargo breaks down while traveling on the track, the shuttle vehicle cannot continue to operate normally and stops on the track. The shuttle vehicle on the track at this time is considered a broken vehicle.

[0006] Step 2: Control the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle to descend below the uppermost end of the travel track, so that the pallet carrying the goods originally on the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle is placed on the upper side of the travel track composed of the double-row track;

[0007] Step 3: Another non-faulty shuttle vehicle on the travel track is recorded as a carrier vehicle. The carrier vehicle moves towards the faulty vehicle and eventually pushes the faulty vehicle out of the range under the pallet carrying the goods along the travel track. Then the lifting plate of the carrier vehicle lifts the pallet carrying the goods on the travel track upward, so that the pallet carrying the goods on the travel track is separated from the travel track and transported to the designated position by the carrier vehicle.

[0008] Furthermore, in "Step 2", after the fault occurs, the faulty vehicle is powered by connecting it to an external power source, and then the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle is controlled to descend, so that the pallet carrying the goods originally on the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle is placed on the upper end of the traveling track composed of double-row tracks.

[0009] Further, a rescue method of a shuttle vehicle:

[0010] Step 4: Designate a new shuttle vehicle on the driving track and record it as the rescue vehicle. After the rescue vehicle drives to the tool collection point, the robot or manual person places the rescue device on the lifting plate of the rescue vehicle and controls the rescue vehicle to drive to the vicinity of the faulty vehicle.

[0011] Further, a rescue method of a shuttle vehicle:

[0012] Step 5: The maintenance personnel detachably install the rescue device placed on the rescue vehicle on the upper end of the travel track where the faulty vehicle is located, and then use the rescue device to lift the faulty vehicle vertically upward relative to the travel track until the faulty vehicle is higher than the upper end of the rescue vehicle;

[0013] Step 6: Control the rescue vehicle to move under the broken-down vehicle, and then separate the rescue device from the broken-down vehicle. The broken-down vehicle is now on the lifting platform of the rescue vehicle.

[0014] Step 7: Disassemble the rescue device;

[0015] Step 8: Control the rescue vehicle to move the faulty vehicle along the track to the maintenance site.

[0016] Furthermore, the rescue device includes a lifting beam, a claw block and a climbing rod. The lifting beam is vertically mounted on the upper side of the traveling track composed of double-row tracks. Vertical climbing rods are movably installed at both ends of the lifting beam. The lifting beam can move up and down relative to the two climbing rods. The lower ends of the two climbing rods are rotatably connected to the claw blocks, and each claw block can be removably clamped and installed on the upper end of the traveling track composed of double-row tracks.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one of the two climbing rods is a threaded rod, and at least one end of the lifting beam is provided with a through threaded hole, and the climbing rod with an external thread is threadedly matched with the through threaded hole on the lifting beam.

[0018] Furthermore, at least two movable connecting parts are provided on the lifting beam, and the upper side of the faulty vehicle corresponds to the connecting portion provided on the connecting parts. The lower end of each connecting part passes through the lifting beam and is detachably connected to the connecting portion on the faulty vehicle.

[0019] Furthermore, the connecting member is a connecting bolt, and a bolt through hole is opened on each lifting beam. The inner diameter of the bolt through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt head of the connecting bolt, and the stud of the connecting bolt moves vertically downward through the bolt through the bolt through hole.

[0020] Furthermore, each connection portion provided on the upper side of the faulty vehicle is a threaded connection hole that matches the connection bolt, and the stud of the connection bolt moves vertically downward through the bolt through hole on the lifting beam and then is threadably matched with the threaded connection hole.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a raising bracket, two raising brackets are detachably installed on the driving track, and the rescue device is detachably installed on the two raising brackets. The raising bracket includes a supporting beam, a column and a clip. The two ends of the supporting beam are respectively connected to two columns, and clips are installed under the two columns. The two clips are detachably clamped on both sides of the driving track.

[0022] Beneficial effect: The present invention provides a method and device for rescuing a shuttle vehicle. The rescue device lifts the faulty vehicle above the travel track, thereby avoiding the generation of force between the faulty shuttle vehicle and the travel track after the faulty shuttle vehicle stops running. Then, a non-faulty shuttle vehicle on the travel track is designated to travel under the faulty shuttle vehicle. The non-faulty shuttle vehicle can smoothly transport the faulty shuttle vehicle on the travel track to a maintenance site for repair. By setting a heightening bracket, the rescue device can be applied to most common travel tracks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a rescue method and rescue device for a shuttle vehicle are shown. The rescue device 5 includes a lifting beam 8, a claw block 9 and a climbing rod 10. The lifting beam 8 is vertically mounted on the upper side of a traveling track composed of a double-row track, and at least two connecting parts 11 are movably provided on the lifting beam 8. Both ends of each lifting beam 8 are movably installed with a vertical climbing rod 10. The lifting beam 8 can move up and down relative to the two climbing rods 10. At least one of the two climbing rods 10 is a threaded rod. At least one end of the lifting beam 8 is provided with a through threaded hole. The climbing rod 10 with an external thread is threadedly matched with the through threaded hole on the lifting beam 8. The lower ends of the two climbing rods 10 are connected with a claw block 9. The upper end of the claw block 9 is provided with a rotating connection part. The lower end of the claw block 9 is a claw, and the rotating connection part is a bearing. The lower end of the climbing rod 10 is rotatably connected to the claw block 9. The two claw blocks 9 can be respectively clamped on both sides of the upper end of the traveling track 1 composed of double-row tracks along the length direction, and a number of fasteners lock each claw block 9 on the upper end of the traveling track 1 composed of double-row tracks through the locking holes on the claws of each claw block 9.

[0033] In the present invention, the two climbing rods 10 connected to the two ends of the lifting beam 8 are both threaded rods, and two connecting pieces 11 are provided on the lifting beam 8. Two lifting beams 8 perpendicular to the travel track 1 are provided in parallel at the upper end of the faulty car 6, and a connecting portion 18 cooperating with the connecting piece 11 is provided on the upper side of the faulty car 6. The lower end of each connecting piece 11 passes through the lifting beam 8 and is detachably connected to the connecting portion 18 of the faulty car 6.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, after the lower ends of each connecting piece 11 are connected to the connecting part 18 on the upper side of the faulty vehicle 6, the maintenance personnel use a rotating tool to simultaneously rotate the torsion parts of the upper ends of the two climbing rods 10 connected to the two ends of each lifting beam 8, so that the two climbing rods 10 rotate around their own axes at the same time. The torsion part is generally a cross or a straight groove. As the two climbing rods 10 rotate, the external threads on the two climbing rods 10 are threadedly matched with the through threaded holes at the two ends of the lifting beam 8, so that the two lifting beams 8 climb vertically upward relative to the travel track 1. The faulty vehicle 6 moves vertically upward relative to the travel track 1 under the joint action of each connecting piece 11 until the faulty vehicle 6 is lifted to a position higher than the upper end of the travel track 1 under the joint action of each connecting piece 11.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the connecting member 11 is a connecting bolt 16, and each lifting beam 8 is provided with a bolt through hole corresponding to the connecting bolt 16. The inner diameter of the bolt through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt head of the connecting bolt 16, and the stud of the connecting bolt 16 moves vertically downward through the bolt through hole; each connecting part 18 arranged on the upper side of the faulty vehicle 6 is a threaded connection hole matched with the connecting bolt 16, and the stud of the connecting bolt 16 moves vertically downward through the bolt through hole on the lifting beam 8 and then is threadedly matched with the threaded connection hole.

[0036] In a first embodiment of the present invention, a method for rescuing a shuttle vehicle is provided, that is, a method for rescuing a shuttle vehicle 3 when the shuttle vehicle 3 is normally traveling on the inner side of a travel track 1 consisting of a double row of tracks:

[0037] Step 1: When a shuttle vehicle 3 carrying cargo fails while traveling on the travel track 1, such as a power outage caused by poor contact or a part detaching due to a bumpy ride, the shuttle vehicle 3 cannot continue to operate normally and stops on the travel track 1. The shuttle vehicle on the travel track 1 at this time is referred to as a failed vehicle 6.

[0038] Step 2: Control the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle 6 to descend below the uppermost end of the travel track 1, so that the pallet carrying the goods originally on the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle 6 is placed on the upper side of the travel track 1 formed by the double-row track. At this time, the faulty vehicle 6 is located on the travel track 1 below the pallet carrying the goods.

[0039] Step 3: Another non-faulty shuttle vehicle on the traveling track 1 is recorded as a carrier vehicle. The carrier vehicle moves along the traveling track 1 toward the direction close to the faulty vehicle 6. Finally, the carrier vehicle pushes the faulty vehicle 6 out of the range under the pallet carrying the goods along the traveling track 1. Then, the lifting plate of the carrier vehicle lifts up to lift the pallet carrying the goods mounted on the traveling track 1 upward, so that the pallet carrying the goods mounted on the traveling track 1 is separated from the traveling track 1 and reaches the designated position under the transportation of the carrier vehicle.

[0040] Step 4: Designate a new shuttle vehicle 3 on the driving track 1 and record the shuttle vehicle 3 as the rescue vehicle 4. After the rescue vehicle 4 drives to the tool collection location, the manipulator or manual person places the rescue device 5 on the lifting plate of the rescue vehicle 4, and controls the rescue vehicle 4 to drive to the vicinity of the location of the faulty vehicle 6.

[0041] Step 5: Figure 4When the vehicle is about to be rescued, the rescuer 5 can move up and down the travel track 1 at the same time, so that the rescue work can resume its normal operation.

[0042] Step 6: Control the rescue vehicle 4 to move to the bottom of the broken-down vehicle 6, and then disengage the connector 11 in the rescue device 5 from the connector 18 on the broken-down vehicle 6, thereby separating the rescue device 5 from the broken-down vehicle 6. At this time, the broken-down vehicle 6 is located on the lifting platform of the rescue vehicle 4;

[0043] Step 7: Dismantle the rescue device 5 so that it cannot block the rescue vehicle 4 from carrying the faulty vehicle 6 along the travel track 1;

[0044] Step 8: Control the rescue vehicle 4 to move the faulty vehicle 6 along the driving track to the maintenance site.

[0045] In "Step 2", after the breakdown of the faulty vehicle 6, the faulty vehicle 6 is powered by connecting to an external power source, and then the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle 6 is controlled to descend, so that the pallet carrying the goods originally on the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle 6 is set on the upper end of the travel track 1 composed of double-row tracks.

[0046] like Figure 5As shown, the travel tracks used in existing high-bay warehouses generally include two types of tracks, one is an A-type travel track 1 composed of a double-track track with a travel surface located at the lower end of the travel track, and the other is a B-type travel track 2 composed of a double-track track with a travel surface located at the upper end of the travel track. The first embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the A-type travel track 1 with a travel surface located at the lower end of the travel track. For the existing B-type travel track 2 composed of a double-track track with a travel surface located at the upper end of the travel track, the rescue device 5 in the first embodiment of the present invention can only be installed on the travel surface of the B-type travel track 2 composed of a double-track track with a travel surface located at the upper end of the travel track, so it cannot achieve the purpose of lifting the faulty vehicle 6 upward. Therefore, for the other type of B-type travel track 2 commonly used in existing high-bay warehouses with a travel surface located at the upper end of the travel track, the present invention proposes a second embodiment;

[0047] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the second embodiment also includes a heightening bracket 12. The two heightening brackets 12 are detachably mounted on the travel track 1. The rescue device 5 is detachably mounted on the two heightening brackets 12. The heightening bracket 12 includes a supporting beam 13, a column 14 and a clip 15. The two ends of the supporting beam 13 are fixedly connected to the column 14 respectively. The bottom of the two columns 14 are fixedly connected to the clip 15. The two clips 15 are detachably mounted on both sides of the B-type travel track 2.

[0048] When the shuttle car 3 carrying goods breaks down while traveling on the B-type travel track 2 composed of double-track tracks and with the travel surface located at the upper end of the travel track, a normal shuttle car 3 is first used to transport the two raising brackets 12 to the vicinity of the location of the faulty shuttle car 3, and then the maintenance personnel fasten the two buckles 15 on each raising bracket 12 to the two tracks of the B-type travel track 2 composed of double-track tracks, and the two raising brackets 12 are respectively located on both sides of the faulty shuttle car 3 along the length direction of the B-type travel track 2, and then move the two raising brackets 12 along the B-type travel track 2 so that the two raising brackets 12 are close to the two sides of the faulty shuttle car 3 along the length direction of the B-type travel track 2, and then lock the two raising brackets 12 on the travel track 1 by fasteners;

[0049] Then, a non-faulty shuttle vehicle 3 on another driving track along the direction of the two raising brackets 12 is designated. The non-faulty shuttle vehicle 3 transports the rescue device 5 along the B-type driving track 2 where it is located to the vicinity of the faulty shuttle vehicle 3. When the maintenance personnel get the rescue device 5, they first clamp the two claw blocks 9 with the claws of the two claw blocks 9 on the upper ends of the supporting beams 13 of the two raising brackets 12, and then lock the two claw blocks 9 on the supporting beams 13 of the two raising brackets 12 respectively through fasteners, and then thread the two climbing rods 10 into the through threaded holes at both ends of a lifting beam 8, and then rotate the lower end of each climbing rod 10 to be installed on the rotating connection part at the upper end of each claw block 9; several groups of rescue devices 5 are assembled according to the above steps, and several groups of rescue devices 5 are distributed side by side at the upper ends of the raising brackets 12 within the range where the faulty shuttle vehicle 3 is located.

[0050] A rescue method of a shuttle rescue device in the second embodiment:

[0051] Step S1: When a shuttle vehicle 3 carrying cargo breaks down while traveling on the B-type travel track 2, the shuttle vehicle 3 cannot continue to operate normally and stops on the B-type travel track 2. The shuttle vehicle on the B-type travel track 2 at this time is referred to as a broken vehicle 6.

[0052] Step S2: A new shuttle 3 is placed on the B-type travel track 2. This new shuttle 3 is referred to as a carrier. Two heightening brackets 12 are placed on the lift plate of the carrier. The carrier is then controlled to travel along a path close to the faulty vehicle 6. When the carrier arrives near the faulty vehicle 6, the maintenance personnel install the two heightening brackets 12 on the B-type travel track 2, with the two heightening brackets 12 located on both sides of the faulty vehicle 6.

[0053] Step S3: Connecting an external power source to the faulty vehicle 6 causes the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle 6 to descend, so that the pallet carrying the goods originally located on the lifting platform of the faulty vehicle 6 is placed on the upper ends of the two raising brackets 12. At this time, the faulty vehicle 6 is located below the pallet carrying the goods;

[0054] Step S4: Then control the transport vehicle to move in the direction close to the faulty vehicle 6, and finally the transport vehicle pushes the faulty vehicle 6 out of the range under the pallet carrying the goods along the B-type travel track 2, and then the lifting plate of the transport vehicle lifts up to lift the pallet carrying the goods mounted on the B-type travel track 2 upward, so that the pallet carrying the goods mounted on the B-type travel track 2 is separated from the B-type travel track 2 and reaches the designated position under the transportation of the transport vehicle.

[0055] Step S5: Figure 8As shown, a new shuttle vehicle 3 is designated on another driving track along the direction of the two raising brackets 12. The shuttle vehicle 3 is recorded as the rescue vehicle 4. After the rescue vehicle 4 drives to the tool picking location, the manipulator or manual person places the rescue device 5 on the lifting plate of the rescue vehicle 4, and controls the rescue vehicle 4 to drive to the vicinity of the location of the faulty vehicle 6.

[0056] Step S6: Figure 8 As shown, the maintenance personnel detachably installs the rescue device 5 placed on the rescue vehicle 4 on the upper end of the B-type travel track 2 at the position of the faulty vehicle 6 on the B-type travel track 2, and then connects the lower ends of each connecting piece 11 on the rescue device 5 to the connecting portion 18 on the upper side of the faulty vehicle 6. Then, the maintenance personnel simultaneously rotate the torsion parts of the upper ends of the two climbing rods 10 connected to the two ends of each lifting beam 8 on the rescue device 5 by using a rotating tool, so that the two climbing rods 10 rotate around their own axes at the same time. As the two climbing rods 10 rotate, The external threads on the two climbing rods 10 are threadedly matched with the through threaded holes at both ends of the lifting beam 8, so that the two lifting beams 8 climb vertically upward relative to the B-type driving track 2, and the faulty vehicle 6 moves vertically upward relative to the B-type driving track 2 under the joint action of the various connecting parts 11, until the faulty vehicle 6 is lifted to a position higher than the upper end of the B-type driving track 2 under the joint action of the various connecting parts 11; at this time, the vertical distance between the faulty vehicle 6 and the B-type driving track 2 is sufficient for the rescue vehicle 4 to travel on the B-type driving track 2 without hindrance;

[0057] Step S7: Control the rescue vehicle 4 to move to the bottom of the broken-down vehicle 6, and then disengage the connector 11 in the rescue device 5 from the connector 18 on the broken-down vehicle 6, thereby separating the rescue device 5 from the broken-down vehicle 6. At this time, the broken-down vehicle 6 is located on the lifting platform of the rescue vehicle 4;

[0058] Step S8: dismantling the rescue device 5 so that it cannot block the rescue vehicle 4 from carrying the faulty vehicle 6 along the B-type travel track 2;

[0059] Step S9: Control the rescue vehicle 4 to transport the faulty vehicle 6 along the travel track to the maintenance site.

[0060] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
