[0002] With the rapid popularization of automated stereoscopic warehouses in my country, higher requirements have been put forward for the safety, integration, operation efficiency, and comprehensive cost of warehouse automation equipment. The four-way shuttle is a new type of automated storage equipment that integrates the functions of the traditional mother car and the child car, and realizes the functions of two cars with one car. As a new automated storage and transportation equipment, the four-way shuttle system has gradually entered people's field of vision. As an upgrade of the two-way shuttle technology, the four-way shuttle system can realize four-way travel in the X and Y directions, and can operate efficiently and flexibly across the aisles. It has the advantages of high cost performance, high storage density, and high warehouse utilization.

[0003] The existing four-way shuttle vehicles are mostly of the following two types: 1) Multi-motor transmission: The travel direction is driven by two motors separately, which cooperate with the reducer and are connected to the travel shaft through a chain. When the motor rotates, the travel wheel rotates; 2) Single motor chain transmission: Through a reducer with a sprocket, the power of the motor is divided into two transmission powers. The sprocket of the reducer transmits the power to the X-axis, and the output end of the reducer transmits the power to the Y-axis through the chain.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned four-way shuttle has the following problems when in use: multi-motor transmission: high cost; low space utilization; single motor chain transmission: the output end of the reducer with a sprocket needs a set of sprocket transmission devices to transmit power to the walking wheel, and the structure is complicated. Therefore, a single-motor, low-cost, and simple-structured four-way shuttle is needed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model proposes a symmetrical travel transmission mechanism for a four-way shuttle vehicle in view of the problems that the current four-way shuttle vehicle adopts multi-motor transmission, which has high cost and low space utilization, and single-motor chain transmission, in which the output end of the reducer with a sprocket needs to have a set of sprocket transmission devices to transmit power to the travel wheels, and the structure is complicated.

The shuttle adopts a single drive motor with low overall cost. At the same time, the three output ends of the reducer can realize the longitudinal and transverse movement of the shuttle. The structure is simple, the use effect is good, the practicability is strong, and it is suitable for popularization and use.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two longitudinal wheels, and the two longitudinal wheels are connected via a longitudinal wheel chain transmission.

[0008] Furthermore, a battery and an electronic control component are installed inside the housing, the battery provides power to the servo motor, and the electronic control component controls the movement of the shuttle.

[0009] Furthermore, the battery and the electronic control assembly are respectively located on both sides of the servo motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the transverse wheels and the longitudinal wheels are arranged symmetrically.

[0011] Furthermore, the coupling adopts a universal coupling.
