[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a four-way shuttle vehicle of the utility model comprises:

[0029] The shuttle body 1 has a plurality of quick clamps 11 disposed on the top of the shuttle body 1;

[0030] The carrier frame 2 is arranged parallel to the top of the shuttle body 1 through a quick clamp 11. Two support seats 21 sliding along the length direction of the shuttle body 1 are symmetrically arranged on the carrier frame 2. The support seats 21 are provided with limiting grooves 211;

[0031] The driving assembly 3 includes a driving source 31 and a rotating arm 32. The driving source 31 is vertically arranged on the carrier frame 2 and is located between the two supporting seats 21. The output end of the driving source 31 is connected to the middle position of the rotating arm 32, and the two ends of the rotating arm 32 are respectively movably connected with connecting rods 33. The ends of the two connecting rods 33 away from the rotating arm 32 are respectively movably connected to the two supporting seats 21.

[0032] Specifically, the carrier frame 2 can be quickly fixed by the quick clamp 11 and the limit block 12 on the top of the shuttle body 1, and the driving source 31 arranged on the carrier frame 2 can synchronously drive the two support seats 21 to move closer to or away from each other through the rotating arm 32 and the connecting rod 33, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support seats 21, so that the support seat 21 can carry and fix goods of different sizes; and the support seat 21 is provided with a limit groove 211 for limiting and fixing the goods, and the limit groove 211 can keep the goods stable during the operation of the shuttle body 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 As shown, further, the carrier 2 includes a base 22, which is a rectangular frame structure. The base 22 is arranged parallel to the top of the shuttle body 1 through the quick clamp 11. Two sliding seats 23 extending along the length direction of the shuttle body 1 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base 22. Two slide rails 24 extending along the length direction are arranged on the sliding seats 23 at intervals, and the two slide rails 24 on the sliding seats 23 are symmetrical with the two slide rails 24 on the other sliding seats 23 in the width direction of the shuttle body 1. The two ends of the two support seats 21 are slidably connected to a group of mutually symmetrical slide rails 24 through sliders. Specifically, the base 22 is a rectangular frame structure composed of pipe fittings; the sliding seat 23 can be made of channel steel, and reinforcing ribs can be arranged between the sliding seat 23 and the base 22 to improve the strength and stability of the entire structure. More preferably, each sliding seat 23 may be provided with a plurality of sets of limit members respectively located at both ends of each slide rail 24 to limit the movement range of the support seat 21 on the slide rail 24 and prevent the support seat 21 from detaching from the slide rail 24 .

[0034] Furthermore, four limiting blocks 12 are arranged on the top of the shuttle body 1 in a rectangular array. The limiting blocks 12 are cubic structures, and the four limiting blocks 12 respectively limit the four corners of the inner hole of the base 22. Specifically, when the carrier 2 is placed on the top of the shuttle body 1, the base 22 is sleeved outside the limiting blocks 12, so that the four limiting blocks 12 can limit the four corners of the inner hole of the base 22, so that the carrier 2 cannot move in the horizontal direction; at the same time, the quick clamp 11 is used to limit the carrier 2 in the vertical direction to fix the carrier 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, further, a support plate 25 parallel to the two sliding seats 23 is connected between them, the driving source 31 is vertically connected to the support plate 25, and the rotating arm 32 is vertically connected to the output shaft of the driving source 31. Specifically, a through hole is provided in the middle of the rotating arm 32, the output shaft of the driving source 31 passes through the through hole and the rotating arm 32 is fixed by screwing a nut on the output shaft.

[0036] Furthermore, the two ends of the connecting rod 33 are movably connected to the rotating arm 32 and the support seat 21 through a joint bearing 34, and the joint bearing 34 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 33. Specifically, when the driving source 31 drives the rotating arm 32 to rotate clockwise, the rotating arm 32 pushes the two support seats 21 to slide away from each other along the slide rail 24 through the connecting rod 33 connected at both ends; when the driving source 31 drives the rotating arm 32 to rotate counterclockwise, the rotating arm 32 drives the two support seats 21 to slide toward each other along the slide rail 24 through the connecting rod 33 connected at both ends, thereby adjusting the positions of the two support seats 21.

[0037] Furthermore, the support seat 21 includes a base plate, which is movably connected to the connecting rod 33 , a support portion is vertically connected to the base plate, and a limiting groove 211 is provided on the support portion.

[0038] Furthermore, the limiting groove 211 is a V-shaped groove or an arc groove. It is conceivable that the shape of the limiting groove 211 is not limited to a V-shaped groove or an arc groove, and can be set according to the actual shape of the goods to be transferred. Specifically, a plurality of support seats 21 with limiting grooves 211 of different shapes can be set at the same time, and the support seats 21 can be replaced when transferring goods of different shapes, so that the entire device has high versatility and can meet a variety of different transfer requirements.

[0039] Furthermore, the quick clamp 11 is connected to the top of the shuttle body 1 through a plurality of support columns 13. The support column 13 is a columnar structure, one end of the support column 13 is vertically connected to the top of the shuttle body 1, and the other end is connected to the quick clamp 11. Specifically, the length of the support column 13 can be adjusted according to the height of the base 22. By setting the support column 13, the quick clamp 11 connected thereto can have an optimal height and position relative to the base 22, so that the quick clamp 11 can clamp and fix the carrier 2.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a controller and a control button, and the controller is connected to the driving source 31 and the control button respectively.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] The utility model also discloses a storage system, comprising the four-way shuttle vehicle as in the first embodiment.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
