Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of container transportation, and particularly relates to a container translation device. Background Art

[0002] In current logistics, containers are commonly used cargo storage devices. Storing goods in containers provides both safety and convenience for handling. Container transportation is an irreplaceable transportation method in modern ports.

[0003] Currently, most ports still adopt traditional container loading and unloading processes. After the container truck transports the container to the rear yard, the gantry rail crane in the yard then lifts the container into the yard. Although this process is relatively mature and highly reliable, the loading and unloading efficiency is relatively low. Usually, two rail cranes are designed in each stacking area, and the rail cranes need to perform reciprocating operations throughout the yard. When one rail crane fails, the operation in that stacking area can only be stopped, and other rail cranes cannot be used to replace it, resulting in the termination of the original operation process in the stacking area. In addition, restricted by the stacking site, when two access and exit container areas operate simultaneously, there will be a phenomenon of cross-operation between the two rail cranes, and the rail cranes also need to avoid each other.

[0004] In addition, with the increase in the throughput of container terminals, the stacking height is developing towards higher levels, which also poses higher requirements for the yard rail cranes. The current rail cranes restrict the development of the stacking height in the yard.

[0005] In view of the need to adjust containers in the yard and the need for the stacking height of containers, a device and process that can be flexibly lifted and translated are required. Currently, there are few related stacking devices and processes. Summary of the Invention
