[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-5As shown, in an embodiment of a transport device for transporting an automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS) robot, the transport device is used to transport the AS / RS robot 100. The AS / RS robot 100 has pulleys 101 on opposite sides. The transport device includes a frame 1 and two track components 2 mounted on the frame 1. The two track components 2 are arranged in parallel and the spacing between them is the same as the spacing between the two pulleys 101, so that they can abut against the two pulleys 101.
[0030] In this embodiment, by setting two track components 2, the automated storage and retrieval system 100 can be supported and moved on the track components 2, thereby facilitating the unloading of the automated storage and retrieval system 100. At the same time, it does not use structures such as wood, cardboard boxes, foam, sponge, or packing straps. The overall transportation device has a simple structure and can be reused, which solves the technical problems of the existing automated storage and retrieval system 100 transportation process being not environmentally friendly and the unloading being relatively cumbersome.
[0031] Understandably, frame 1 is generally a rectangular shape.
[0032] More preferably, the track component 2 is adjustable and slidably connected to the frame 1, and can be fixed to the frame 1 by means of screws or the like. This configuration can accommodate 3D warehouse robots 100 of different sizes.
[0033] In one embodiment of the transportation device, the frame 1 is formed by connecting multiple square tube structural members, and the track member 2 is a square tube structural member.
[0034] In this embodiment, by making both the frame 1 and the track component 2 from square tubing, the structural strength is sufficient while reducing the weight of the overall transport device, thus facilitating transportation.
[0035] In one embodiment of the transport device, the transport device further includes a crossbeam 3, the two ends of which are respectively connected to opposite sides inside the frame 1 and can abut against each track component 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, by setting the crossbeam 3, the overall frame 1 can be reinforced, and the track component 2 can be further supported, thereby further improving the overall structural stability of the transportation device.
[0037] In one embodiment of the transport device, the extension direction of the crossbeam 3 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the track member 2.
[0038] In this embodiment, by setting the crossbeam 3 and the track component 2 perpendicular, the balance can be further adjusted. More preferably, the number of crossbeams 3 can be arranged in multiples along the guide direction of the track component 2 according to the requirements and the size of the frame 1.
[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the transport device, the crossbeam 3 is a square tube structure. Similar to the previous embodiments, by setting the crossbeam 3 as a square tube structure, the weight of the overall transport device can be reduced while ensuring structural strength.
[0040] In one embodiment of the transport device, the transport device further includes a plurality of columns 4, each column 4 being installed on the side of the frame 1 facing the track component 2, and divided into two groups located on opposite sides of the guide direction of the track component 2, with the spacing between the two groups of columns 4 being greater than the spacing between the two track components 2.
[0041] In this embodiment, in conjunction with the previous embodiment, taking the frame 1 as an example, which is composed of four square tube structural components, the four square tube structural components form a rectangular shape, and two track components 2 are arranged parallel to it. The two ends of the track components 2 rest on or are connected to the two opposite square tube structural components, while the columns 4 are set on the two square tube structural components that the track components 2 do not rest on or are not connected to. This can play a role in blocking the three-dimensional storage robot 100 and preventing the three-dimensional storage robot 100 from detaching from the side.
[0042] It is understandable that, regarding the obstruction of the 3D warehousing robot 100 from detaching from the guide direction of the track component 2, on the one hand, the 3D warehousing robot 100 has a drive device, which itself has a certain effect of limiting the rotation of the pulley 101 when it is not working. Furthermore, it can also be obstructed by arranging multiple transport devices or setting baffles in the guide direction of the track component 2. In order to facilitate the unloading of the 3D warehousing robot 100, baffle-like structures should not be fixed to the frame 1.
[0043] In one embodiment of the transport device, the transport device further includes a plurality of legs 5, each of which is mounted on the side of the frame 1 away from the track member 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the support leg 5, the frame 1 can be supported. Moreover, the support leg 5 has a small structure, which makes it convenient for workers or other handling devices to directly extend under the frame 1 to lift the entire transport device.
[0045] In one embodiment of a transport device, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the position of each support leg 5 corresponds one-to-one with the position of each column 4. The transport device also includes a sleeve 6 and a fixing module. The sleeve 6 is used to fit the support leg 5 on one of the two adjacent frames 1 and the column 4 on the other frame 1. The fixing module is used to fix the sleeve 6 to the support leg 5 and the column 4 to form a frame.
[0046] In this embodiment, the support leg 5 is fixed to the column 4 by a fixing module, which facilitates the stacking of the transport devices, thereby enabling the stacking of multiple 3D warehousing robots 100 in vertical space and improving transport efficiency. It is understood that... Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a frame in one embodiment, which includes multiple frames 1 and a combination of track components 2, crossbeams 3, columns 4, legs 5 and fixed module structures installed on the frames 1.
[0047] Furthermore, both the outrigger 5 and the column 4 can be made of square tubular structure, which ensures structural strength while reducing weight.
[0048] In one embodiment of the transport device, the support leg 5 has a first hole 51 through the support leg 5, the column 4 has a second hole 41 through the column 4, the sleeve has a plurality of third holes 61, and the fixing module includes a plurality of fixing members, which are used to insert into the adjacent two-layer frame 1 when the third hole 61 and the first hole 51 are aligned and when the third hole 61 and the second hole 41 are aligned.
[0049] In this embodiment, the fastener can be a pin or a bolt, which is inserted to achieve a stable fixation. The bolt can be used in conjunction with a nut to improve the overall stability of the connection.
[0050] In one embodiment of the transport device, the column 4 is a square tube structure. Similar to the previous embodiment, by also configuring the column 4 as a square tube structure, the overall weight of the transport device can be reduced while maintaining structural strength.
[0051] In addition, it is understood that the transportation device of this utility model can be transported by placing it on a transport vehicle.
[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0053] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
