Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent logistics and distribution technology, specifically to a box-type shuttle vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Shuttles in warehousing and logistics equipment mainly come in two forms: shuttle-type inbound / outbound systems and shuttle-type storage systems. These are trolleys that run on fixed tracks in a reciprocating or looping manner, transporting goods to designated locations or connecting to other equipment. Equipped with intelligent sensing systems, they can automatically memorize their origin position and have automatic deceleration systems. A shuttle is a type of intelligent robot that can be programmed to perform tasks such as picking, transporting, and placing goods. It can communicate with a host computer or WMS system and, combined with RFID, barcode, and other identification technologies, achieve automated identification and storage functions.
[0003] Currently, most products on the market have limited processing capacity and functionality due to factors such as cost and technology. For example, similar box-type shuttle products on the market can only retrieve goods within the same level, and changing levels requires the assistance of other equipment. They retrieve only one item at a time, requiring multiple trips to retrieve multiple boxes. To achieve higher efficiency, multiple shuttles are needed, increasing investment costs accordingly. Other intelligent shuttle products use a single retrieval mechanism that does not allow simultaneous retrieval of multiple levels of boxes; goods can only be retrieved and placed one at a time from each level. Therefore, current products cannot meet customers' needs for high efficiency and low investment.
[0004] Therefore, we propose the box-type shuttle vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a box-type shuttle vehicle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a box-type shuttle car, including a car body, a conveyor roller fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the car body, support frames fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor roller at the top of the car body, a drive motor fixedly installed inside the car body, a transmission rod rotatably connected inside the car body to the front of the drive motor, and rotating shafts rotatably connected inside the car body to both ends of the transmission rod. The output end of the drive motor is drivenly connected to the middle of the transmission rod, and both ends of the transmission rod are drivenly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. Rotating rollers are rotatably connected to the bottom and top of the support frames, and a conveyor belt is drivenly connected to the two rotating rollers. One end of the lower rotating roller is drivenly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft. A placement plate is rotatably connected to the outer circumference of the conveyor belt, and a limiting block located below the placement plate is integrally connected to the outer circumference of the conveyor belt.
[0007] Optionally, the rear side of the support frame is fixedly mounted with a fixing frame, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the rear side of the fixing frame. A push disc is fixedly installed at the movable end of the electric push rod.
[0008] Optionally, the bottom of the fixed frame is higher than the top of the shelf placement layer, the movable end of the electric push rod is disposed through the middle of the fixed frame, and the push disc is located inside the fixed frame.
[0009] Optionally, a drive gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor, and a follower gear is fixedly installed in the middle of the transmission rod, wherein the follower gear meshes with the drive gear.
[0010] Optionally, a first bevel gear is fixedly installed at both ends of the transmission rod, and a second bevel gear is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear, and two sets of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the transmission rod.
[0011] Optionally, a first synchronous pulley is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating shaft, and a second synchronous pulley located outside the support frame is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating roller located below. The first synchronous pulley is connected to the second synchronous pulley via a synchronous belt.
[0012] Optionally, the width of the conveyor roller is less than the minimum distance between the two sets of placement plates after they are opened, and the height of the top of the conveyor roller is greater than the height of the bottom layer of the shelf.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This box-type shuttle car, equipped with a conveyor belt and a placement plate, transports goods between two support frames via conveyor rollers. A drive motor rotates a transmission rod, which in turn rotates a rotating roller via a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, and a rotating shaft. This causes the conveyor belt inside the two support frames to rotate, allowing the placement plate to rotate to a position below the goods. The goods are then lifted from both ends below, enabling the car body to transport multiple goods at once. After the goods are transported to the corresponding shelf, a corresponding electric push rod is activated, causing a pusher disc to push the goods on the placement plate onto the shelf. When placing goods, the height of the placement plate can be adjusted so that the goods are level with the top of the shelf.
[0015] 2. This box-type shuttle car, by setting a rotating placement plate and a limiting block, when the placement plate rotates between the opposite surfaces of the two conveyor belts, it rotates from vertical to horizontal under the action of gravity. At the same time, the limiting block supports the bottom of the placement plate, keeping the placement plate horizontal. When the placement plate rotates to the other side of the two conveyor belts, it automatically droops under the action of gravity, becoming flush with the conveyor belt, thus reducing the area.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a box-type shuttle car, including a car body 1. A conveyor roller 2 is fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the car body 1. Support frames 3 located on both sides of the conveyor roller 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the car body 1. A drive motor 11 is fixedly installed inside the car body 1. A transmission rod 12 located in front of the drive motor 11 is rotatably connected inside the car body 1. Rotating shafts 14 located at both ends of the transmission rod 12 are rotatably connected inside the car body 1. The output end of the drive motor 11 is connected to the middle of the transmission rod 12. The two ends of the transmission rod 12 are respectively connected to one end of the rotating shaft 14. Rotating rollers 4 are rotatably connected to the bottom and top of the support frames 3. A conveyor belt 5 is rotatably connected to the two rotating rollers 4. One end of the lower rotating roller 4 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 14. A placement plate 6 is rotatably connected to the outer circumference of the conveyor belt 5. A limiting block 7 located below the placement plate 6 is integrally connected to the outer circumference of the conveyor belt 5. A fixing frame 8 is fixedly installed at the rear of the support frames 3. An electric push rod 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side. A push disc 10 is fixedly installed at the movable end of the electric push rod 9. The bottom of the fixed frame 8 is higher than the top of the shelf placement layer. The movable end of the electric push rod 9 passes through the middle of the fixed frame 8. The push disc 10 is located inside the fixed frame 8. By setting up a conveyor belt 5 and a placement plate 6, the goods are transported to the space between two support frames 3 by the conveyor roller 2. The drive motor 11 drives the transmission rod 12 to rotate, and then drives the rotating roller 4 to rotate through the first bevel gear 13, the second bevel gear 15 and the rotating shaft 14, so that the conveyor belt 5 inside the two support frames 3 rotates, so that the placement plate 6 rotates to the bottom of the goods. The goods are lifted from both ends below the goods, so that the trolley body 1 can transport multiple goods at once. After the goods are transported to the corresponding shelf, the corresponding electric push rod 9 is activated, so that the push disc 10 pushes the goods on the placement plate 6 onto the shelf. When placing goods, the height of the placement plate 6 can be adjusted so that the goods are the same as the top of the shelf.
[0023] A drive gear 19 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 11. A follower gear 20 is fixedly mounted on the middle of the transmission rod 12, and the follower gear 20 meshes with the drive gear 19. First bevel gears 13 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the transmission rod 12. A second bevel gear 15 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 14, and the first bevel gear 13 meshes with the second bevel gear 15.

A first synchronous pulley 16 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the rotating shaft 14. A second synchronous pulley located outside the support frame 3 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating roller 4 located below. 17. The first synchronous pulley 16 is connected to the second synchronous pulley 17 via the synchronous belt 18. The width of the conveyor roller 2 is less than the minimum distance after the two sets of placement plates 6 are opened. The height of the top of the conveyor roller 2 is greater than the height of the bottom layer of the shelf. By setting the rotating placement plate 6 and the limiting block 7, when the placement plate 6 rotates between the opposite surfaces of the two conveyor belts 5, it rotates from vertical to horizontal under the action of gravity. At the same time, the bottom of the placement plate 6 is supported by the limiting block 7, so that the placement plate 6 remains horizontal. When the placement plate 6 rotates to the other side of the two conveyor belts 5, it automatically droops under the action of gravity and becomes flush with the conveyor belt 5, reducing the area.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] Goods are transported between two support frames 3 by conveyor roller 2. Drive motor 11 drives transmission rod 12 to rotate, and then drives rotating roller 4 to rotate through first bevel gear 13, second bevel gear 15 and rotating shaft 14. This causes the conveyor belt 5 inside the two support frames 3 to rotate, so that the placement plate 6 rotates to the bottom of the goods. The goods are lifted from both ends below the goods, so that the trolley body 1 can transport multiple goods at once. After the goods are transported to the corresponding shelf, the corresponding electric push rod 9 is activated, so that the push disc 10 pushes the goods on the placement plate 6 onto the shelf. When placing goods, the height of the placement plate 6 can be adjusted so that the goods are the same as the top of the shelf. When the placement plate 6 rotates between the opposite sides of the two conveyor belts 5, it rotates from vertical to horizontal under the action of gravity. At the same time, the bottom of the placement plate 6 is supported by the limit block 7 so that the placement plate 6 remains horizontal. When the placement plate 6 rotates to the other side of the two conveyor belts 5, it automatically droops under the action of gravity and becomes flush with the conveyor belt 5 to reduce the area.
