Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shuttle vehicles, and more specifically, to an anti-tipping fork shuttle vehicle logistics system. Background Art

[0002] Existing overloaded forklift shuttles, due to the heavy cargo being picked up, have a large lever arm when the forks are used to pick up the cargo, causing the shuttle to tip over. To solve this problem, existing methods include increasing the shuttle's own weight to balance the lever arm when picking up the cargo; or using a high-speed shuttle bus. After the shuttle bus is parked, the shuttle bus can be used to pick up the cargo at the designated location, and then return to the shuttle bus after the pickup is completed.

[0003] However, the use of shuttle car itself increases the counterweight, resulting in a bulky car body, increased motor power, and increased equipment costs; the use of high-speed mother-and-child car form (such as Figure 1 As shown), after the mother car is parked, the sub-cart is used to go to the designated location to pick up the goods, and then returns to the mother car after the goods are picked up. This adds a sub-cart, which also leads to an increase in equipment costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-tipping fork shuttle logistics system to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model provides an anti-tipping fork shuttle logistics system, comprising a shuttle track laid on the ground and a shuttle system running along the shuttle track; a plurality of pickup positions are arranged at intervals on both sides of the shuttle track, and the goods are placed at the pickup positions;

[0006] The shuttle system includes a shuttle body, a lifting module and a telescopic fork. The telescopic fork is arranged on the lifting module. Anti-tilt guide wheel groups and horizontal guide wheel groups are provided on both sides of the shuttle body. The anti-tilt guide wheel groups and the horizontal guide wheel groups are both clamped on the shuttle track.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the shuttle track includes a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, the horizontal guide wheel group is clamped on the left and right sides of the vertical portion, and the anti-tipping guide wheel group is clamped on the lower sides of the horizontal portion.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-rollover guide wheel groups are provided in several groups along the length direction of the shuttle body, and each group of anti-rollover guide wheel groups includes two guide wheels located above the horizontal portion and two guide wheels located below the horizontal portion.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, four sets of horizontal guide wheels are provided and distributed at the four corners of the shuttle body.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the shuttle track is arranged in a shuttle walking pit on the ground.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the cargo pickup position is provided with a cargo pickup pit for inserting a telescopic fork, and two support blocks with inclined surfaces are symmetrically provided on both sides of the cargo pickup pit, and the two support blocks form a V-shaped support surface for supporting the cargo.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the telescopic fork is configured to be V-shaped.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this utility model are:

[0014] This solution can handle the pickup and transportation of heavy cargo, using forks instead of a shuttle, saving the cost of a shuttle. The shuttle's body is equipped with several anti-tipping guide wheels that clamp onto the horizontal portion of the shuttle track, offsetting the force arm generated by the cargo's weight. Compared to adding a counterweight to the shuttle body, this solution offers a simpler structure, a lighter body, and greater cost savings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and convenience of description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Numerous modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.

[0023] like Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a tip-over-proof forklift shuttle logistics system, comprising a ground-mounted shuttle track 1 and a shuttle system 9 that travels along the track. A plurality of pickup locations 6 are spaced apart on either side of the track, where cargo 5 is placed. The shuttle system 9 travels along the track 1, and upon reaching a designated location, it picks up cargo 5 and transports it to the designated location. This solution can facilitate the pickup and transportation of heavy cargo 5, replacing the use of a shuttle with a forklift, saving the cost of a single shuttle. Furthermore, the shuttle does not require additional counterweight, making the system more portable and flexible.

[0024] The shuttle system 9 includes a shuttle body 10, a lifting module 11 and a telescopic fork 12. The telescopic fork 12 is arranged on the lifting module 11. Anti-tilt guide wheel groups 13 and horizontal guide wheel groups 14 are provided on both sides of the shuttle body 10. The anti-tilt guide wheel groups 13 and the horizontal guide wheel groups 14 are both clamped on the shuttle track 1.

[0025] The lifting module 11 can drive the telescopic fork 12 to rise and fall. The telescopic fork 12 can move left and right, extending to under the cargo 5, and complete the cargo picking work with the cooperation of the lifting module 11. The shuttle track 1 includes a horizontal portion 2 and a vertical portion 3. The horizontal guide wheel group 14 is clamped on the left and right sides of the vertical portion 3, and the anti-rollover guide wheel group 13 is clamped on the lower two sides of the horizontal portion 2. Four sets of horizontal guide wheel groups 14 are provided and distributed at the four corners of the shuttle body 10. The horizontal guide wheel groups 14 can guide the shuttle body 10 when it is in operation, ensuring that the shuttle body 10 moves along the defined track. The anti-rollover guide wheel group 13 is clamped on the horizontal portion 2 to prevent the shuttle body 10 from tipping over.

[0026] The anti-tilt guide wheel assemblies 13 are arranged in multiple groups along the length of the shuttle body 10. Each group of anti-tilt guide wheel assemblies 13 includes two guide wheels located above the horizontal portion 2 and two guide wheels located below the horizontal portion 2. The upper and lower guide wheels can firmly clamp to the horizontal portion 2 of the shuttle track 1 when picking up goods, offsetting the force of the far-end goods 5 and preventing tipping. The provision of multiple groups of anti-tilt guide wheel assemblies 13 provides greater stability.

[0027] The shuttle track 1 is installed in a ground-level shuttle pit 4. The pickup position 6 is provided with a pickup pit 7 for inserting a telescopic fork 12. Two support blocks 8 with inclined surfaces are symmetrically arranged on either side of the pickup pit 7. The two support blocks 8 form a V-shaped support surface for supporting the cargo 5. The upper surface of the telescopic fork 12 is configured in a V-shape.

[0028] Because the telescopic fork 12 is shorter than the original shuttle, only a shorter support block 8 is required at the docking station, replacing the taller cargo saddle at the docking station, saving costs. The upper surface of the telescopic fork 12 is configured in a V-shape to ensure stable loading and prevent the cargo 5 from falling off the surface of the telescopic fork 12.

[0029] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without making any creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified or limited.
