[0003] Because the original roller conveyor system has limited functionality, occupies a large area, has a narrow range of applications, and is not conducive to standardized production, it has high costs, high energy consumption, and is inconvenient to maintain, resulting in increasingly weak market competitiveness.

[0004] In response to the current situation in China and the shortcomings of existing technologies, the four-way shuttle 5 is introduced into the pharmaceutical equipment field. The intelligent four-way shuttle transfer technology is a warehousing technology with high-efficiency transfer, high-density storage, and intelligent scheduling. It has the advantages of strong storage capacity, safety and reliability, and less susceptibility to damage to the shelves. Compared with traditional shelves, the four-way shuttle 5 shelf has higher space utilization and storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0005] The existing shelving structure is mainly used for automated warehouse storage, where individual items are lightweight and in a dry environment. It uses sub-rail storage and main rail operation, which is not suitable for the production environment and application of pharmaceutical equipment products, especially since the pharmaceutical industry involves water dripping during the transfer process after product sterilization.

[0006] In summary, how to provide a shuttle rack structure suitable for the transfer and storage of sterilized products is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The core of this utility model is to provide a four-way track shuttle rack, which is suitable for the transfer and storage of sterilized products.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A four-way track shuttle rack includes a first track 1, several second tracks 2, shuttles 5, and a water collection device 6. The several second tracks 2 are arranged in parallel and perpendicular to the first track 1. The first track 1 and several second tracks 2 each include a storage bracket 3 and a traveling bracket 4 arranged along their length direction. The width of the storage bracket 3 is greater than that of the traveling bracket 4. The shuttle 5 is used to travel back and forth on the traveling bracket 4. The height of the shuttle 5 is lower than the distance between the traveling bracket 4 and the storage bracket 3. The water collection device 6 is installed below the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 for collecting dripping water from the rack.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, detection and positioning chips are installed on the first track 1 and several second tracks 2, which can realize precise shelf location management and precise positioning and parking of the shuttle 5.

[0039] In addition, in the embodiment of this utility model, at the position where the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 are connected, an extension section of the first track 1 track support 4 is installed between the trolley supports 4 on the second track 2 for use in changing the direction of the shuttle car.

[0040] In use, the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 are installed together, and the number of second tracks 2 used is selected according to the actual workshop usage to meet different user requirements. The first track 1 and several second tracks 2 each include a storage bracket 3 and a traveling bracket 4 arranged along their length. The width of the storage bracket 3 is greater than that of the traveling bracket 4. That is to say, the storage bracket 3 is used to support the shelves and realize the storage function of the shelves. The shuttle 5 is used to travel back and forth on the traveling bracket 4. The height of the shuttle 5 is lower than the distance between the traveling bracket 4 and the storage bracket 3. That is to say, the shuttle 5 travels on the first track 1 and the second track 2 to move the shelves. At the same time, both types of tracks can store shelves. Therefore, the water collection device 6 is installed under the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 to collect the dripping water from the shelves. This can effectively ensure that the sterilization water remaining in the sterilization cart after water bath sterilization can be collected centrally, reducing pollution to the workshop environment.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, the carriage supports 4 of a plurality of second tracks 2 are lower than the carriage supports 4 of the first track 1. By limiting the height of the carriage supports 4 on the second tracks 2 so that their height is lower than the carriage supports 4 of the first track 1, the shuttle car 5 can move easily at their intersection.

[0042] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the shuttle 5 includes a frame 501, on which are mounted a plurality of first traveling wheels 502 for traveling on the first track 1 and a plurality of second traveling wheels 503 for traveling on the second track 2. The plurality of second traveling wheels 503 have a lifting function, that is, when the shuttle 5 moves on the traveling support of the first track 1, the second traveling wheels 503 are raised under the drive of the lifting structure to avoid interfering with the movement of the shuttle 5. When the shuttle 5 moves to the intersection of the first track 1 and the plurality of second tracks 2, the second traveling wheels 503 are lowered so that they contact the traveling support of the second track 2, thereby realizing the change of direction movement of the shuttle 5.

[0043] Optionally, in some embodiments, the lifting structure of the second traveling wheel 503 can be implemented using an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and each second traveling wheel 503 can be controlled individually.

[0044] Optionally, in order to further improve the stability of the shuttle 5 during movement, in some embodiments, both the first traveling wheel 502 and the second traveling wheel 503 are grooved wheels, and the stability is improved by being snapped into the traveling bracket.

[0045] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the shuttle 5 also includes a lifting member 504, which is mounted on the frame 501. The lifting member 504 is used to detach the shelf from the storage support 3. That is, the lifting member 504 lifts the shelf, detaching it from the storage support 3. At this time, the shuttle 5 can move the shelf to realize the transfer of the shelf.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the lifting member 504 may be a hydraulic cylinder or electric cylinder structure, which lifts the shelf through its telescopic function.

[0047] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4To prevent sterilization water from dripping onto the shuttle 5 on the shelves, in some embodiments, the shuttle 5 also includes a protective plate 505. The protective plate 505 covers the outside of the frame 501, and a lifting member 504 is located between the frame 501 and the protective plate 505 and is fixedly connected to the protective plate 505. That is, by covering the frame 501 with the protective plate 505, the frame 501 is protected, and sterilization water dripping onto the shuttle 5 helps to extend the service life of the shuttle 5. By the lifting member 504 being located between the frame 501 and the protective plate 505 and fixedly connected to the protective plate 505, the lifting member 504 moves the protective plate 505 when it extends or retracts, thereby increasing the contact area with the shelves and improving the stability of the shelf handling.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the utility model, the protective plate 505 is made of metal material, such as steel plate or alloy material.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the water collecting component 6 is a plate-shaped structure, and the area of ​​the water collecting component 6 is larger than the projected area of ​​the storage bracket 3 on the water collecting component 6. That is, the size of the plate-shaped water collecting component 6 is larger than that of the storage bracket 3. Therefore, when the shelf generates water droplets on the storage bracket 3, the water droplets will fall onto the water collecting component 6 and be effectively collected by the water collecting component 6, thereby reducing the impact of water droplets on the workshop environment and improving the cleanliness of the workshop environment.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments, the water collection component 6 may be arranged in sections and connected end to end.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, the water collecting element 6 may have a recessed structure at its center, and a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the recess to facilitate the discharge of collected dripping water.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, a drain pipe may be provided and arranged along the extension direction of the first track 1 and the second track 2, while all the above-mentioned drain outlets are connected to the drain pipe, so as to collect and centrally discharge the dripping water collected from multiple drain outlets.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 further include several support columns 7, which are evenly spaced, and the storage bracket 3 and the crane bracket 4 are both installed on the support columns 7.

[0054] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4In some embodiments, the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 further include several protective crossbars 9 and several protective side bars 8. The protective crossbars are fixedly connected to the top of the supporting column 7, and the several protective side bars 8 are arranged in a cross shape. The two ends of the even number of protective side bars 8 are respectively connected to the two ends of the supporting column 7. That is to say, the stability of the shelf during the movement is improved by the cooperation of the protective side bars 8, the protective crossbars 9 and the supporting column 7.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, the height of the storage bracket 3 and the travel bracket 4 on the support column 7 is adjustable. Specifically, a number of adjustment holes are evenly distributed along the height direction on the support column 7. The storage bracket 3 and the travel bracket 4 are respectively fixed to the corresponding adjustment holes by bolts. By fixing the adjustment holes at different positions, the height of the storage bracket 3 and the travel bracket can be adjusted to meet the requirements of more usage environments.

[0056] In other words, the key point of this utility model is that: the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 each include a storage bracket 3 arranged along its length and a traveling bracket 4 arranged along its length. The width of the storage bracket 3 is greater than that of the traveling bracket 4. That is to say, the storage bracket 3 is used to support the shelf and realize the storage function of the shelf. The shuttle 5 is used to travel back and forth on the traveling bracket 4. The height of the shuttle 5 is lower than the distance between the traveling bracket 4 and the storage bracket 3. That is to say, the shuttle 5 travels on the first track 1 and the second track 2 to move the shelf. At the same time, both tracks can store the shelf. Therefore, the water collection device 6 is installed below the first track 1 and several second tracks 2 to collect the dripping water from the shelf. This can effectively ensure that the sterilization water remaining in the sterilization vehicle after water bath sterilization can be collected in a centralized manner, reducing the pollution to the workshop environment.

[0057] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0058] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of a four-way track shuttle rack provided by this utility model.
