Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of warehousing logistics conveying equipment, and particularly relates to a multi-station circular shuttle vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In a modern warehousing logistics system, as one of the core conveying equipment, the design optimization of a circular shuttle vehicle is directly related to the operation efficiency of the overall system. Most traditional circular shuttle vehicles adopt a single-station design, that is, each vehicle body can only carry one cargo unit for handling. Although this design performs well in small or low-traffic warehousing systems, in large or high-traffic environments, the limitations of the single-station design become increasingly prominent.

[0003] First of all, the single-station circular shuttle vehicle cannot perform the loading and unloading operations of goods while driving straight and turning, which greatly limits its efficiency in continuous processes. Secondly, due to only having a single station, when facing high-traffic cargo handling requirements, the single-station shuttle vehicle needs to frequently travel back and forth between the loading and unloading points and the storage points, increasing the total operation time and reducing the overall logistics throughput capacity.

[0004] In addition, traditional single-station circular shuttle vehicles usually do not fully consider the influence of track width and turning radius on the vehicle running stability in design. In actual operation, narrow tracks or sharp turns often require the shuttle vehicle to have better maneuverability and stability, while the single-station design is often difficult to optimize in these aspects due to weight and structural limitations.

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome these deficiencies in the application of traditional single-station circular shuttle vehicles, the utility model proposes a multi-station circular shuttle vehicle. This design aims to improve the logistics handling efficiency, reduce space occupation, and enhance the running stability of the shuttle vehicle in narrow or restricted spaces by increasing the number of vehicle body stations and optimizing the structure of the connection components, so as to better meet the requirements of modern high-traffic and high-efficiency warehousing logistics conveying. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The utility model purpose of the present utility model is: aiming at the above problems, to provide a multi-station circular shuttle vehicle.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows: a multi-station circular shuttle vehicle, comprising: a transportation track, a plurality of vehicle body components, and a connection component for connecting the vehicle body components. The plurality of vehicle body components are arranged on the transportation track. Connection buckles for installing the connection component are arranged at both ends of the vehicle body component. Fixing buckles are arranged at both ends of the connection component and are rotatably connected to the connection buckles.

[0008] Furthermore, through holes corresponding to each other are arranged in the middle of the connection buckle and the fixing buckle, and a pin shaft is arranged in the through holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing buckle is arranged as a double-layer structure, and the connecting buckle is arranged between the double-layer structures.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing buckle is detachably arranged on the connecting component through bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting component is provided with a buffer mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle body component includes a traveling mechanism and a conveying component. The traveling mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body component for traveling along the track, and the conveying component is arranged at the upper part of the vehicle body component for conveying goods.

[0014] Furthermore, the traveling mechanism includes a power device, traveling wheels and guide wheels. The power device is connected to and drives the traveling wheels to rotate, and the guide wheels are arranged in two groups to match the conveying track.

[0015] Furthermore, a steering bearing is further included, and the steering bearing is arranged on the traveling mechanism.

[0018] 1. Improve operation efficiency and throughput: By adopting a double-station or multi-station design, the circular shuttle car of the present utility model can carry multiple goods for handling at the same time. Compared with a single-station circular shuttle car, the number of goods processed per unit time is significantly increased. Such a design enables the shuttle car to reduce the number of round trips while increasing the goods throughput in a high-throughput logistics system, thereby improving the overall operation efficiency.

[0019] 2. Adapt to a small turning radius and save space: The multi-station circular shuttle car is specially designed with a flexible rotating connecting component, enabling relative rotation between two stations at a bend, adapting to a smaller turning radius.

[0020] 3. Optimized structural stability and maintainability: Through the improved connection component structure, such as using double-layer connection buckles and fixed buckles, and setting up a buffer mechanism, the circular shuttle car of the present utility model not only maintains structural stability but also improves vehicle stability during high-speed operation or sharp turns, reducing potential damage to goods and equipment caused by vibrations and impacts during transportation. In addition, the component design that is easy to maintain and replace, such as detachable fixed buckles, further improves the maintenance efficiency and reliability of the equipment.

[0021] 4. Efficient design of walking and conveying components: The integrated and optimized design of the walking mechanism and conveying components not only makes the shuttle car move more smoothly and efficiently along the track but also ensures the safety and stability of the goods during transportation, especially during loading and unloading. The matching design of the walking wheels and guide wheels, along with the precise control of the electric control system, work together to improve the handling efficiency and ensure the smoothness of the operation process.

[0022] 5. Enhancement of intelligence and automation levels: The equipped electric control system enables the multi-station circular shuttle car to achieve intelligent and automated control. It can automatically adjust the operating state according to real-time logistics requirements, reducing manual intervention and the possibility of operation errors. The intelligent control system can also be seamlessly connected to the warehouse management system (WMS) to further optimize the storage and retrieval efficiency of goods and achieve more complex logistics tasks.

[0031] The transportation track 1 is designed to be circular and is installed on the ceiling or floor of the warehouse and optimized according to the specific warehousing layout.

[0032] The plurality of vehicle body components 2 are evenly distributed on the transportation track 1. Each vehicle body component 2 is connected to the adjacent vehicle body component 2 through a rotatable connection buckle 4 to form a continuous conveyor line.

[0033] Due to the multi-station design, each vehicle body component 2 can independently carry different cargo units, so that multiple orders can be processed simultaneously in the same journey, significantly improving the processing speed and system throughput.

[0034] Further, through holes corresponding to each other are provided in the middle of the connection buckle 4 and the fixing buckle 5, and a pin shaft is provided in the through holes.

[0035] Further, the connection buckle 4 is arranged in a double-layer structure, and the fixing buckle 5 is arranged between the double-layer structures.

[0036] The fixing buckle 5 and the connection buckle 4 of the connection component 3 adopt a double-layer structure design, similar to a C-shaped structure. Among them, the fixing buckle 5 is detachably installed on the connection buckle 4 of the vehicle body component 2 through bolts, which is convenient for quick replacement and maintenance.

[0037] At the turning point, the connection component 3 allows relative rotation between two stations, adapts to a smaller turning radius, and reduces the space requirement.

[0038] Further, the fixing buckle 5 is arranged in a double-layer structure, and the connection buckle 4 is arranged between the double-layer structures.

[0039] The fixing buckle 5 adopts a double-layer structure, one layer is a fixing plate, and the other layer is an adjustable fastener, and the two are connected by a hinged manner.

[0041] Further, the fixing buckle 5 is detachably arranged on the connecting component 3 by bolts, which facilitates the replacement of the connecting component 3 or the buffer mechanism 6.

[0042] Further, the connecting component 3 is provided with a buffer mechanism 6.

[0043] The buffer mechanism 6 is installed on the connecting component 3, and springs or rubber materials are used to absorb the impacts and vibrations during operation.

[0047] The conveying component 8 is arranged at the upper part of the vehicle body component 2, responsible for the loading and handling of goods, and can perform the loading and unloading of goods without interrupting the driving.

[0048] The conveying component 8 is designed as an adjustable structure and can be quickly adjusted according to the size and shape of the goods.

[0049] This design enables the shuttle car to handle various types of goods, thereby improving its applicability and efficiency in complex logistics environments.

[0050] Further, the traveling mechanism 7 includes a power device 9, traveling wheels 10, and guide wheels 11. The power device 9 is connected to and drives the traveling wheels 10 to rotate, and the guide wheels 11 are arranged in two groups to match the conveying track.

[0051] As Figure 2 shown, the traveling wheels 10 are driven by the power device 9, and the guide wheels 11 are in close contact with the track to ensure the stable movement of the shuttle car along the preset path.

[0052] This layout optimizes the traveling performance of the shuttle car and can maintain stability even during high-speed driving or sharp turns.

[0053] Further, it further includes a steering bearing 12, and the steering bearing 12 is arranged on the traveling mechanism 7.

[0054] The steering bearing 12 is integrated in the traveling mechanism 7, which enables the entire traveling system to turn according to the track curvature, allowing the shuttle car to adjust its direction more flexibly when encountering a turning trajectory.
