[0002] In the field of modern machinery, particularly in the design and manufacture of lifting gearbox mechanical systems for four-way shuttles, traditional solutions typically employ a single lifting motor to simultaneously control both lifting and longitudinal travel functions. This design utilizes a shaft drive to achieve lifting. While this solution achieves functional requirements to a certain extent, its shortcomings have become increasingly apparent in practical applications, becoming a key factor limiting system performance and production efficiency.
[0003] Specifically, the main defects of traditional solutions are reflected in the following aspects:
[0004] Large number of parts and complex assembly process: Since the lifting and walking functions need to be met at the same time, the number of parts inside the system increases significantly, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also makes the assembly process extremely complicated and requires extremely high skills from workers.
[0005] High-precision requirements and dimensional control challenges: To ensure stable system operation, the matching accuracy between components must be extremely high, which directly increases the difficulty of processing and complicates dimensional control. Once the component precision does not meet the standard, it is easy to cause assembly problems, resulting in high rework and repair rates, seriously affecting production efficiency and cost control.
[0006] Assembly difficulties caused by structural complexity: The complex structural design in traditional solutions not only increases the difficulty of assembly, but also limits the maintainability and scalability of the system, which is not conducive to subsequent product upgrades and technological innovations.
[0007] To this end, the utility model designs a four-way shuttle synchronous lifting mechanism that realizes independent lifting control through a motor and a lifting transmission shaft. Utility Model Content

[0026] Each of the jacking gearboxes is equipped with a jacking gear transmission pair 2-6.
