[0053] This embodiment provides a vertical carousel, which consists of multiple fixed-position conveying modules connected to the drive module and the rotary track respectively. The drive module provides power to the hopper 70, so that it moves forward and reverse in a circular rotary track, and can store goods quickly and accurately.

[0054] In this embodiment, the storage body 10 includes a load-bearing frame and a shell covering the load-bearing frame. The shell is formed by integral sheet metal processing technology, which increases strength, reduces deformation under full load, improves safety, and increases durability.

[0056] Furthermore, a weighing module 80 is provided at the bottom of the storage body 10. The weighing module 80 provides an accurate and reliable weighing function to prevent the storage body 10 from being overloaded.

[0057] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 5 The rotary track includes a hopper guide rail 52, an upper arc guide rail 61 and a lower arc guide rail 62; the upper arc guide rail 61 is arranged at the top of the storage body 10; the lower arc guide rail 62 is arranged at the bottom of the storage body 10; the hopper guide rail 52 is vertically arranged between the upper arc guide rail 61 and the lower arc guide rail 62, and the hopper guide rail 52 is connected to the upper arc guide rail 61 and the lower arc guide rail 62.

[0058] Furthermore, the vertical carousel includes a chain guide 51, which is perpendicular to and not connected to the upper and lower curved guides 61 and 62. The conveyor chain 37 is embedded in the chain guide 51, which positions and controls the movement of the conveyor chain 37, ensuring that the conveyor chain 37 maintains a stable position during movement and preventing deviation or shaking due to stress.

[0059] In this embodiment, the driving module includes a driving motor 31, a driving assembly connected to the output end of the driving motor 31, and a transmission assembly connected to the driving assembly through a main driving shaft 35; the transmission assembly includes a second driving sprocket 36 arranged at the bottom of the storage body 10, a second driven sprocket 38 arranged at the top of the storage body 10, and a conveying chain 37 engaged with the second driving sprocket 36 and the second driven sprocket 38; the conveying chain 37 is arranged along the rotating track; the triangular support arm 40 is connected to the conveying chain 37.

[0060] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a first driving sprocket 32 connected to the output end of the drive motor 31, a first driven sprocket 33 connected to the second driving sprocket 36 through the main drive shaft 35, and a drive chain 34 meshing with the first driving sprocket 32 and the first driven sprocket 33.

[0061] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 The triangular support arm 40 includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm; the first end of the first connecting arm is fixedly connected to the hopper 70 of one of the conveying modules, and the second end of the first connecting arm is fixedly connected to the conveying chain 37; the first end of the second connecting arm is fixedly connected to the hopper 70 of the adjacent conveying module, and the second end of the second connecting arm is fixedly connected to the conveying chain 37 and coincides with the second end of the first connecting arm.

[0062] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the hopper 70 includes a main body, support arms 74 provided on both sides of the main body, a rocker arm 75 connected to the support arm 74, and a guide wheel 76 provided at one end of the rocker arm 75; the guide wheel 76 is configured to move within a rotary track.

[0063] For example, there are two conveying modules, defined as a first conveying module and a second conveying module, and the first conveying module and the second conveying module are arranged adjacent to each other. Then, the first end of the first connecting arm is fixedly connected to the guide wheel 76 of the hopper 70 of the first conveying module, and the second end of the first connecting arm is fixedly connected to the conveying chain 37. The first end of the second connecting arm is fixedly connected to the guide wheel 76 of the hopper 70 of the second conveying module, and the second end of the second connecting arm is fixedly connected to the conveying chain 37 and overlaps with the second end of the first connecting arm.

[0064] Specifically, the main body includes an upper support plate 71, a lower support plate 72 and a side plate 73; the upper support plate 71 and the lower support plate 72 are arranged in parallel; the side plates 73 are arranged on both sides of the upper support plate 71, and the upper support plate 71 and the lower support plate 72 are connected by the side plates 73.

[0065] Furthermore, the main body further includes at least one partition 77 vertically disposed between the upper support plate 71 and the lower support plate 72. The partition 77 can divide the internal space of the hopper 70 into multiple areas, so that different materials can be stored according to predetermined spaces, thereby achieving a more orderly storage process.

[0066] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0067] The drive motor 31 rotates the first driving sprocket 32, which transmits power to the first driven sprocket 33 via the drive chain 34, thereby driving the main drive shaft 35. The main drive shaft 35 rotates the second driving sprocket 36, which transmits power to the second driven sprocket 38 via the conveyor chain 37. This further drives the conveyor module along the rotary track. During the rotation of the conveyor module, the opening of the hopper 70 always faces the storage port 20, effectively preventing material from falling out of the hopper 70 when it passes over the upper curved guide rail 61 or the lower curved guide rail 62.

[0068] It should be noted that the driving motor 31 can rotate forward or reverse, thereby causing the conveying module to rotate forward or reverse.
