Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics transportation equipment, and in particular to an aerial transportation type logistics shuttle vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the logistics and warehousing system on the market today, shuttle vehicles are widely used. If they are operated by personnel, not only do they need to manually partition the goods, but they also need to manually transfer them, which results in low operating efficiency. The use of shuttle vehicles can easily solve these problems. In addition to actively picking up and sorting goods, shuttle vehicles can also cooperate with other equipment, greatly improving operating efficiency and independently completing more time-consuming and labor-intensive operations. For example, shuttle vehicles can cooperate with stackers to achieve a fully automatic three-dimensional warehousing solution.

[0003] The essence of the circular shuttle system layout is to plan and arrange a track line on the ground for the shuttle to run in a circle. Since its track line layout needs to occupy a considerable amount of ground space, it is more suitable for material transportation tasks in long-distance and large-space scenarios. Although it can replace fixed equipment to transfer materials on its track line through autonomous operation, reducing equipment layout costs. However, due to the fixed nature of the transportation line, it is difficult to carry out cross-line material transportation.

[0004] The existing circular shuttle adopts a ground track layout scheme, but the design layout of the ground flat-laying equipment still occupies ground space. Germany's OUTO intelligent rail logistics transmission system adopts a box-type rail conveying robot. The robot has its own box structure, runs into the air through the track, and transports materials to the required area along the track. Drawing on this scheme, a bottom-mounted conveying shuttle structure is developed, and the track is laid out in the air, so that the circular shuttle's running route is carried out in the air, and interacts with the equipment below to transport materials.

[0005] Its essence is still a circular shuttle. Since the track line is arranged in the air, the track structure needs to be designed as an inverted load-bearing structure. In order to further reduce the structural weight of the track and improve the bearing capacity of the track structure, the aerial shuttle adopts a single-track structure design. The cross-sectional design of the track profile is improved to reduce its weight as much as possible while ensuring its bearing capacity.

[0006] In order to ensure its ability to interact with the equipment below, it is necessary to further develop an adaptive conveying structure. At present, based on the different interaction methods, it can be divided into three types: hanging basket type, clamp type and active conveying type.

[0007] Basket type: Purely passive interaction mode, the material is transported to the load-bearing part of the aerial shuttle through the action of the docking device. When interacting, it needs to run to the docking position of the interactive device, wait for the docking device to move the material to the load-bearing part of the aerial shuttle, and then the aerial shuttle will carry out the transportation work. After it transports the material to the designated location, the docking device will carry and take out the material.

[0008] Clamp type: A clamp structure is installed at the end of the lifting structure of the aerial trolley to pick up materials for transportation tasks. Different clamps are used to adapt to different material transportation scenarios.

[0009] Active conveying type: This method is to install an active material transfer device at the end of the lifting structure of the aerial trolley to carry out material conveying work. For example, a conveyor structure or a push rod structure is installed to pick up and carry the material for transportation.

[0010] In addition, different types of track-changing mechanisms are developed according to the adaptability requirements of the scenarios. Since the aerial shuttle is carried by a single track, the track-related structural design can be further simplified, such as developing a single track rotating track-changing mechanism. This mechanism can enable the aerial car's lines to be arranged in a cross-type manner, ensuring that the aerial shuttle system has a variety of layout options.

[0011] In addition, since it has a fixed transmission line, it still needs to occupy ground layout space like other equipment. The layout conditions are relatively constrained under the conditions of small space and high equipment layout density. Therefore, it is considered to develop a device that can overlap the space layout with the ground equipment while maintaining interaction with the ground equipment. Therefore, an aerial transportation type logistics shuttle is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an aerial transport type logistics shuttle vehicle to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0013] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The lifting mechanism is a kind of in-vehicle lifting device, and the lifting mechanism is a kind of in-vehicle lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is a kind of in-vehicle lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is a kind of in-vehicle lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is a kind of in-vehicle lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is a kind of in-vehicle lifting mechanism.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, four holes are formed at the bottom of the lower cover plate of the vehicle body, and four connecting rods on the material carrying part pass through the four holes respectively.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the spring damping assembly is in a W-shaped structure.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the shape of the hole is a rectangular structure.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the aerial transport type logistics shuttle vehicle includes a vehicle body structure, a transport interaction structure, a track structure, a track changing device and a lifting and maintenance device. The vehicle body structure adopts an integrated structural design, and the modules of each structure are integrated and arranged through a frame fixing plate. The frame fixing plate is divided into two upper and lower mounting surfaces. The upper mounting surface is used to fix the travel drive assembly, the collector arm power assembly and electrical control related components, and the lower mounting surface is a lifting assembly.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the walking drive assembly consists of a motor fixing seat, a guide wheel and a driving wheel, and is used for the walking drive of the aerial vehicle. The collector arm power assembly consists of a collector arm fixing, a spring shock absorber assembly and the collector arm. The spring shock absorber assembly is used to fix the collector arm, and a guide wheel structure is installed thereon to provide reliable guidance for the aerial vehicle when it is walking.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the lifting assembly is mainly composed of a motor, a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt. The synchronous pulley is driven by the motor, and a guide device is installed on the lower mounting surface of the frame fixing plate. The material bearing part can be replaced according to actual conditions.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a radar obstacle avoidance component is installed on the frame fixing plate, and the component is installed on the side of the forward direction of the vehicle. A vehicle status indicating light component and a buzzer are installed on the shell to facilitate real-time feedback on the specific status of the vehicle; the light component is installed on the front and rear end surfaces of the vehicle in the direction of travel.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention is different from the ground conveying system. This system changes the material conveying layout from the ground plane conveying system to the aerial conveying system, has better expansion layout advantages, and develops better conveying solutions and more efficient conveying under the same conveying space conditions.

[0022] The aerial transportation solution can adopt the hanging load-bearing interaction technology to avoid the extra time consumption during the equipment transportation. The ready-to-use solution can greatly shorten the time consumed when the equipment interacts and improve the transportation efficiency of the overall system. In addition, the hanging load-bearing solution can further improve the equipment's carrying and transportation capacity and better meet the needs of various industries.

[0023] The aerial transportation system has inherited the flexible dispatching system solution of the ground circular shuttle vehicle. Through intelligent monitoring of equipment information, the system can dispatch the number and location information of the on-track vehicles in real time to implement precise logistics distribution solutions.

[0024] The entire system, from the track to the equipment, and then to each structure of the equipment, is designed in a modular way. While different selections can be made, the installation and maintenance process can also be greatly simplified. The main modular structures of the track include straight track modules, curved track modules and track change modules. Among them, the track track change module can be designed for rotation track change, translation track change, and lifting track change according to the system solution requirements; the main modular structures of the car body include drive modules, load-bearing modules, interactive modules, etc. The load-bearing modules are divided into suspended load-bearing and lifting load-bearing according to the load-bearing scheme. The interactive module can be divided into hanging basket type, fixture type, active conveying type and hybrid interaction according to its interaction method with the docking equipment. Through the mutual cooperation of modular design, the flexibility of the entire aerial conveying system design scheme is greatly improved to better respond to market demand.
