[0033] Example:

[0034] This embodiment provides a pipeline logistics transportation system based on permanent magnetic suspension, including an automatic stacking device, a storage container, a transportation pipeline and a transportation capsule.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic stacking device includes a fork 6 and a lateral, longitudinal and vertical moving mechanism controlled by a driving motor group 4, and each moving mechanism cooperates with each other to realize the stacking and picking up of the transport capsules by the fork 6. The lateral moving mechanism includes a mobile chassis 3 and a lateral moving guide rail 1 connected to the mobile chassis 3 through a vertical axis perpendicular to the mobile chassis 3, the vertical moving mechanism includes a vertical moving guide rail 2 installed on the vertical axis and a fork lifting platform 5 that can slide on the vertical moving guide rail 2, and the longitudinal moving mechanism includes a fork telescopic guide rail installed between the fork lifting platform 5 and the fork 6.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a limit baffle is provided at one end of the fork 6 away from the fork lifting platform 5 to prevent the transport capsule from rolling off the fork, thereby ensuring the stability of the transport capsule during stacking and picking up.

[0037] Storage containers are set up based on existing rail transit hubs and are used to stack transport capsules, which can improve the convenience of picking up. Figure 2 As shown, the storage container includes a plurality of storage drawers 7. The design has strong scalability and can be flexibly adjusted and expanded according to actual needs to adapt to the changes and growth of future urban transportation and logistics needs. The transport capsule can be sent to the corresponding storage drawer 7 based on existing technologies such as radio frequency identification technology or near field communication technology.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the storage drawer 7 to facilitate air circulation in the storage drawer, while also reducing consumables of the storage drawer and further saving the installation cost of the transportation system.

[0039] The transport pipeline is used to transport the transport capsules. It is laid based on the existing rail transit network to achieve isolation from the urban transportation network, avoid the impact of ground traffic congestion on cargo transportation, improve the utilization efficiency of urban space, reduce the cost of transportation system construction, and provide a more cost-competitive solution for urban cargo transportation. Figure 5 As shown, the transport pipeline includes a pipe body 14 and a driving magnet array 15 arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the pipe body 14.

[0040] Transport capsules are used to store goods to be transported, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a capsule body and a suspension magnet array 11 disposed inside the capsule body and repelling the driving magnet array 15. The driving magnet array 15 and the suspension magnet array 11 cooperate with each other to realize the transport capsule to move forward, stop or reverse in the transport pipeline. Figure 4 As shown, a storage platform 12 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the housing 9, and a cargo box 13 for placing the goods to be transported is provided on the storage platform 12. A braking device 10 is provided on the surface of the housing 9 to prevent collision between adjacent transport capsules and ensure the reliability and safety of transportation. The braking device 10 includes a distance sensor and a brake, and the brake applies a braking force to the transport capsule based on the detection signal of the distance sensor.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing ring is provided between the flip cover 8 and the outer shell 9 to ensure the safety of the goods to be transported in the transport capsule.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a concave-convex pattern is provided on the side of the storage platform 12 that contacts the cargo box 13, so as to maintain the stability of the cargo box during transportation.

[0043] The overall working method of the utility model is as follows: the seller puts the goods to be transported into the cargo box 13 according to the buyer's needs, and then puts the cargo box 13 into the transport capsule in the storage drawer 7 of the storage container in the subway station. The automatic stacking device sends the transport capsule to the transport pipeline set at the top of the subway pipeline through the cargo fork 6. A magnet array is set in both the transport capsule and the transport pipeline, relying on the magnetic field repulsion to make the capsule suspend in the pipeline, and at the same time can push the capsule to move forward, stop or change direction in the transport pipeline. The buyer can pre-set the pickup location according to the actual travel route (select a storage container in a subway station as the transportation destination). When the transport capsule arrives at the buyer's predetermined transportation destination, the automatic stacking device removes the transport capsule from the transportation pipeline and places it in the storage drawer 7 of the storage container at the destination. The pickup information is sent to the buyer based on the existing communication system. After receiving the pickup information, the buyer can open the corresponding transport capsule in the storage drawer 7 and take out the goods from the cargo box 13. So far, the general operation process of this system is described. Through the above steps, the existing subway pipeline system can be used to achieve efficient, clean and energy-saving transportation of goods between buyers and sellers.

[0044] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
