Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Aerial rail shuttles are widely used in automated warehouses and logistics systems. They operate on a set track, enabling automated storage, retrieval, and transportation of goods. Aerial rail shuttles can significantly improve the automation level of warehouse management, reduce reliance on manual operations, and improve work efficiency.

[0003] Currently, aerial rail shuttles generally accept cargo using various methods: clamping, receiving via a frame, and hooking. The frame receiving method is widely used due to its ease of integration with existing logistics equipment, relatively simple structure, and low maintenance costs. The frame receiving device typically consists of multiple U-shaped rods arranged in parallel. During operation, the frame descends onto a roller conveyor, positioning the U-shaped rods between the rollers. The roller conveyor then transfers the cargo into the frame, which then ascends, and the shuttle moves along the track to transport the cargo.

[0004] However, the current frame receiving method has some defects: it cannot deliver goods into the frame or out of the frame by itself, and requires the use of roller conveyors to complete the loading and unloading operations of the goods. To achieve the loading and unloading of goods with the help of roller conveyors, it is first necessary to manually move the goods to the roller conveyors, and then after the goods are moved out of the frame, they need to be manually removed from the roller conveyors. This reliance on manual operation results in high labor intensity and low efficiency. In addition, at least two additional roller conveyors are required to achieve the loading and unloading of goods, which not only increases costs, but also increases the cost of daily maintenance and operations. In addition, the existing frame loading and unloading does not have a limiting structure on both sides, which may lead to the risk of goods falling during transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an industrial aerial rail shuttle that can automatically load and unload materials and has a cargo limiting function in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an industrial aerial rail shuttle, comprising a circular track, a shuttle body provided on the circular track, a frame connected to the shuttle body via a traction rope, an electric winding drum for retracting and releasing the traction rope installed in the shuttle body, the frame comprising a lifting plate connected to the traction rope, a U-shaped rod slidably provided at intervals on the lifting plate, round blocks connected to the top ends of both sides of the U-shaped rod, a telescopic rod is connected at intervals between the bottom of the shuttle body and the top of the lifting plate, a loading and unloading mechanism located inside the U-shaped rod is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate, and the loading and unloading mechanism comprises Two linear motors are connected to the bottom of the lifting plate, and a mounting plate is connected to the linear motor. A push plate 1 for pushing the goods into the inner side of the U-shaped rod is hinged between the two mounting plates. A positioning block for positioning the push plate 1 is connected to the top of the mounting plate. A push plate 2 for pushing the goods out from the inner side of the U-shaped rod is connected between the two mounting plates. A pulling mechanism for pulling the push plate 1 to rotate upward to avoid the goods is provided on the top of the mounting plate. A material blocking mechanism is provided on the lifting plate, and the material blocking mechanism includes a blocking frame slidably connected to the lifting plate for blocking the goods on the inner side of the U-shaped rod, and elastic telescopic support frames are connected on both sides of the blocking frame.

[0007] Preferably, the pulling mechanism includes an electric winding wheel 1 installed on the top of the mounting plate, a pull rope 1 is wound around the electric winding wheel 1, and the pull rope 1 passes through the positioning block and is connected to the push plate 1.

[0008] Preferably, a stabilizing mechanism for fixing cargo is provided on the lifting plate, the stabilizing mechanism includes an airbag connected to the bottom of the lifting plate, a cylinder body is connected to the top of the lifting plate, the cylinder body is connected to the airbag through a pipe, a piston rod is slidably connected to the cylinder body, and a support spring is connected between the upper part of the piston rod and the top of the cylinder body.

[0009] Preferably, a lifting mechanism for lifting the shuttle body is provided on the circular track, and the lifting mechanism includes a linear guide rail, a mounting seat, two electric winding wheels and two pull ropes. An opening for accommodating the linear guide rail is opened at the horizontal section of the circular track. A mounting seat is installed on the top of the circular track, and two electric winding wheels are installed on the mounting seat. Two pull ropes are wound around the two electric winding wheels, and the two pull ropes are connected to the top of the linear guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, a locking mechanism for locking the linear guide rail is provided on the mounting seat, and the locking mechanism includes two cylinders mounted on the mounting seat, with insertion rods connected to the cylinders, and two opening blocks connected to the top of the linear guide rail. The insertion rods are inserted into the holes of the opening blocks to firmly lock the linear guide rail on the circular track.

[0011] Preferably, connecting plates are spaced apart at the lower parts of the remaining U-shaped rods except for the two outermost U-shaped rods, connecting rods are slidingly provided between the connecting plates, rollers are rotatably connected to the connecting rods along the axial direction, the rollers are located between two adjacent connecting plates, and two support plates located below the U-shaped rods are connected between the connecting rods.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The linear motor can drive the mounting plate to drive push plate 1 and push plate 2 to move horizontally back and forth.

[0017] 3. Through the cooperation of the piston rod and the cylinder body, gas can be injected into the airbag when the frame drives the cargo to rise, so that the airbag expands and presses the cargo to the inside of the U-shaped rod to prevent the cargo from shaking inside the U-shaped rod during air transportation and colliding with the U-shaped rod and the blocking frame to be damaged, thereby protecting the cargo.

[0018] 4. Through the cooperation of the electric winding wheel 2 and the pull rope 2, the linear guide rail can be driven to drive the shuttle body to rise and fall, so as to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the shuttle body.

[0019] 5. The cylinder can drive the rod to move and insert into the hole of the opening block, so that the linear guide rail can be firmly locked on the circular track to improve stability and safety.

[0020] 6. The goods can be guided by the rollers so that they can be sent into and out of the frame more smoothly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0034] See also Figures 1-8 An industrial aerial rail shuttle comprises a circular track 1, a shuttle body 2, a traction rope 3, a frame 4, a loading and unloading mechanism, a pulling mechanism and a blocking mechanism. The walking wheel 21 of the shuttle body 2 is slidingly arranged in the circular track 1. The frame 4 is connected to the shuttle body 2 through the traction rope 3. There are four traction ropes 3. The four traction ropes 3 are arranged circumferentially along the shuttle body 2. Four electric winding drums are installed at intervals along the circumference of the shuttle body 2. The four traction ropes 3 are respectively wound on the four electric winding drums. The frame 4 includes a lifting plate 41 connected to the four traction ropes 3. A U-shaped rod 42 is slidingly connected to the lifting plate 41 from front to back. The top ends of the left and right sides of the U-shaped rod 42 are connected to the lifting plate. The round block 43 on the upper side of 41, four telescopic rods 31 are connected at intervals between the bottom of the shuttle body 2 and the top of the lifting plate 41. The telescopic rod 31 is composed of multiple telescopic rods. The bottom of the lifting plate 41 is provided with a loading and unloading mechanism located on the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42. The loading and unloading mechanism includes two left and right linear motors 51 connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 41. A mounting plate 52 is connected to the linear motor 51. A push plate 53 for pushing the goods into the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42 is hinged between the front sides of the two mounting plates 52. A positioning block 54 located on the rear side of the push plate 53 is connected to the front side of the top of the mounting plate 52. The positioning block 54 is used to position the push plate 53 to prevent the push plate 53 from being pushed forward and upward by the goods to ensure that the push plate 53 can be smoothly moved. The goods are pushed into the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42, and a push plate 2 55 is connected between the rear sides of the two mounting plates 52 for pushing the goods out from the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42. A pulling mechanism for pulling the push plate 1 53 to rotate backward and upward to avoid the goods is provided on the top of the mounting plate 52. The pulling mechanism includes an electric winding wheel 1 61 installed on the top of the mounting plate 52, and the electric winding wheel 1 61 is located behind the positioning block 54. A pull rope 1 62 is wound on the electric winding wheel 1 61, and the pull rope 1 62 passes through the positioning block 54 and is connected to the push plate 1 53. A material blocking mechanism is provided on the lifting plate 41, and the material blocking mechanism includes a blocking frame 71 slidably connected to the lifting plate 41 for blocking the goods on the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42. The blocking frame 71 includes a blocking rod 711, a slotted plate 7 12. The horizontal plate 713 and the connecting plate 714. The lifting plate 41 is connected to the front and rear groups of baffle rods 711. The top ends of the two groups of baffle rods 711 are connected to the slotted plate 712 located on the upper side of the lifting plate 41. The bottom ends of each group of baffle rods 711 are connected to the horizontal plate 713 located on the lower side of the lifting plate 41. The left and right sides of the slotted plate 712 are connected to the connecting plates 714. The bottoms of the connecting plates 714 on both sides are connected to the elastic telescopic support frame 72. The elastic telescopic support frame 72 includes a second telescopic rod 721 connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 714. The bottom end of the second telescopic rod 721 is connected to a support block 722. A compression spring 723 is provided in the second telescopic rod 721. The two ends of the compression spring 723 are respectively connected to the inner rod and outer rod of the second telescopic rod 721.

[0035] First, the electric winding drum on the shuttle body 2 is controlled to rotate and release the traction rope 3. Under the action of gravity, the frame 4 descends and stretches the telescopic rod 31. When the U-shaped rod 42 descends to contact the ground, the U-shaped rod 42 cannot continue to descend, and the lifting plate 41 can drive the loading and unloading mechanism to continue to descend, so that it can adapt to goods of different heights. The frame 4 descends and drives the blocking frame 71 and the elastic telescopic support frame 72 to descend. The support block 722 on the elastic telescopic support frame 72 will contact the ground before the U-shaped rod 42. When the support block 722 contacts the ground, the blocking frame 71 is supported by the entire elastic telescopic support frame 72 to prevent the blocking frame 71 from continuing to move down with the frame 4, thereby enabling the blocking frame 71 to move up relative to the lifting plate 41 to facilitate subsequent goods to enter and exit the frame 4.

[0036] The linear motor 51 is then controlled to drive the mounting plate 52 to drive the push plate 1 53 and the push plate 2 55 forward. When the push plate 1 53 moves forward and contacts the cargo on the ground, the push plate 1 53 continues forward, pushed by the cargo, and rotates backward and upward to avoid the cargo. When the push plate 1 53 passes over the cargo, under the action of gravity, the push plate 1 53 rotates downward and resets. The linear motor 51 is then controlled to drive the mounting plate 52 to drive the push plate 1 53 and the push plate 2 55 backward. Because the push plate 1 53 is held against the positioning block 54 and cannot rotate forward and upward, the backward movement of the push plate 1 53 can push the cargo into the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42 of the frame 4, achieving automatic loading. When there is cargo placed in the frame 4, the push plate 2 55 moves forward to push the cargo out from the inner side of the U-shaped rod 42 of the frame 4, achieving automatic unloading. In this way, the device can automatically load and unload goods, achieving automated loading and unloading, without the need for roller conveyors to complete the loading and unloading operations of goods, thereby reducing manual operations, lowering labor intensity, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. When the goods are pushed out of the frame 4 onto the ground by the push plate 2 55, the electric winding wheel 1 61 is controlled to rotate and reel in the pull rope 1 62. The pull rope 1 62 pulls the push plate 1 53 backward and upward to avoid the goods, so as to prevent the push plate 1 53 from moving backward and resetting with the mounting plate 52 and pushing the goods into the frame 4 again. When the push plate 1 53 moves backward and resetting with the mounting plate 52, the electric winding wheel 1 61 is controlled to reverse and release the pull rope 1 62. Under the action of gravity, the push plate 1 53 rotates downward and resetting, preparing to push the next goods.

[0037] The electric winding drum on the shuttle body 2 is then controlled to reverse and rewind the traction rope 3, thereby pulling the frame 4 to drive the cargo upward, and the telescopic rod 31 is subsequently retracted. At this time, the lifting plate 41 rises before the blocking frame 71. The blocking frame 71 moves downward relative to the lifting plate 41 to block the cargo inside the U-shaped rod 42, thereby limiting the cargo and preventing it from falling from the frame 4 during subsequent transportation, greatly improving safety. When the lifting plate 41 moves up and contacts the slotted plate 712 on the blocking frame 71, the lifting plate 41 continues to move upward, pushing the slotted plate 712 upward, thereby causing the entire blocking frame 71 to move upward, maintaining the blocking of the cargo. Finally, the shuttle body 2 is controlled to move along the circular track 1 to transport the cargo to the designated location.

[0038] See also Figure 7-Figure 8 The lifting plate 41 is provided with a stabilizing mechanism for fixing the goods. The stabilizing mechanism includes an airbag 81 connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 41. The airbag 81 is located between the two linear motors 51. The airbag 81 is located behind the push plate 1 53. When the airbag 81 is contracted, it is higher than the push plate 2 55 and will not hinder the push plate 2 55 from pushing out the goods. A cylinder 82 is connected to the top of the lifting plate 41. The cylinder 82 is connected to the airbag 81 through a pipe. A piston rod 83 is slidably connected in the cylinder 82. Two front and rear support springs 84 are connected between the upper part of the piston rod 83 and the top of the cylinder 82.

[0039] The lifting plate 41 moves up and down, driving the airbag 81, cylinder 82, piston rod 83, and support spring 84 up and down. When the piston rod 83 rises and contacts the bottom of the shuttle body 2, it cannot rise any further, allowing the cylinder 82 to continue rising, compressing the support spring 84 and injecting the gas in the cylinder 82 into the airbag 81 through the pipe. This causes the airbag 81 to expand and press the cargo against the inside of the U-shaped rod 42, preventing the cargo from swaying inside the U-shaped rod 42 and colliding with the U-shaped rod 42 and the blocking frame 71 during aerial transportation, thereby protecting the cargo. When the cylinder 82 drives the piston rod 83 downward and disengages from the bottom of the shuttle body 2, the support spring 84 resets the piston rod 83 upward on the cylinder 82, thereby withdrawing the gas in the airbag 81 back into the cylinder 82, causing the airbag 81 to deflate and release the cargo.

[0040] See also Figure 9-10 A lifting mechanism for lifting the shuttle body 2 is provided on the circular track 1. The lifting mechanism includes a linear guide rail 92, a mounting seat 93, an electric winding wheel 94 and a pull rope 95. An opening 91 for accommodating the linear guide rail 92 is opened at the front horizontal section of the circular track 1. A mounting seat 93 is installed on the top of the circular track 1. Two left and right electric winding wheels 94 are installed on the mounting seat 93. A pull rope 95 is wound around the electric winding wheel 94. The pull rope 95 is connected to the top of the linear guide rail 92.

[0041] When the shuttle body 2 needs to be inspected and maintained, the shuttle body 2 is moved onto the linear guide rail 92. Then, the electric winding wheel 2 94 is controlled to rotate to release the pull rope 2 95. Under the action of gravity, the linear guide rail 92 drives the shuttle body 2 to a lower position to facilitate subsequent inspection and maintenance of the shuttle body 2. The electric winding wheel 2 94 is controlled to reverse and rewind the pull rope 2 95, which pulls the linear guide rail 92 to rise and reset, thereby driving the shuttle body 2 to rise and reset.

[0042] See also Figure 9-10 A locking mechanism for locking the linear guide rail 92 is provided on the mounting seat 93. The locking mechanism includes two left and right cylinders 11 installed on the front side of the mounting seat 93. The cylinder 11 is connected to a rod 12. The top of the linear guide rail 92 is connected to two left and right opening blocks 10. The opening block 10 is located on the outside of the pull rope 2 95. The rod 12 is inserted into the hole of the opening block 10 to firmly lock the linear guide rail 92 on the circular track 1. The end of the rod 12 away from the cylinder 11 on the same side is tapered to facilitate the smooth insertion of the rod 12 into the hole of the opening block 10.

[0043] After the linear guide rail 92 is raised and reset, the control cylinder 11 drives the insertion rod 12 to move and insert it into the hole of the perforated block 10, thereby firmly locking the linear guide rail 92 to the circular track 1 to improve stability and safety. When the linear guide rail 92 needs to be lowered, the control cylinder 11 drives the insertion rod 12 to move out of the hole of the perforated block 10.

[0044] See also Figure 11 , except for the front end U-shaped rod 42 and the rear end U-shaped rod 42, the lower parts of the remaining U-shaped rods 42 are connected with connecting plates 13 from left to right, and the connecting plates 13 are spaced apart from each other with vertical grooves from front to back. Connecting rods 14 are spaced apart from each other from front to back, and the connecting rods 14 are located in the vertical grooves. The connecting rods 14 are rotatably connected with rollers 16 at intervals along the axial direction. The rollers 16 are located between two adjacent connecting plates 13, and support plates 15 are connected between the left and right ends of the connecting rods 14. The support plates 15 are located below the U-shaped rods 42, and the lower parts of the front end and the rear end U-shaped rods 42 are connected with guide plates 17, which can guide the goods in and out of the frame 4 smoothly through the guide plates 17.

[0045] When the U-shaped rod 42 descends to the ground, it drives the connecting rod 14, the support plate 15 and the roller 16 downward through the connecting plate 13. When the support plate 15 descends to contact the ground, the support plate 15, the connecting rod 14 and the roller 16 cannot move further downward, so the U-shaped rod 42 drives the connecting plate 13 to continue to move downward, causing the roller 16 to move upward relative to the connecting plate 13, so that the top surface of the roller 16 is higher than the top surface of the connecting plate 13. The goods can be guided by the roller 16 so that the goods can be more smoothly sent into and out of the frame 4. The rise of the U-shaped rod 42 first drives the connecting plate 13 to rise, so that the connecting plate 13 moves upward relative to the roller 16, so that the top surface of the roller 16 is lower than the top surface of the connecting plate 13, and then the roller 16 is separated from the goods, so as to prevent the goods from shifting and shaking in the frame 4 during the subsequent transportation process. When the bottom surface of the vertical groove on the connecting plate 13 moves up and contacts the connecting rod 14, the connecting plate 13 continues to rise, driving the connecting rod 14, the supporting plate 15 and the roller 16 to rise.

[0046] The above-described embodiments merely represent preferred embodiments of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
