Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway wheelset maintenance and production technology, specifically a three-layer planar storage device for railway wheelsets. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) for railway wheelsets primarily utilize traditional racking systems, employing stacker cranes for storage and retrieval. This approach is suitable for newly built factories or existing factories with high ceilings, but not for older, lower-ceilinged factories, and is very expensive. Even in the few depots that use fully automated flat storage systems, only two layers of wheelsets can be stored at most. When the storage capacity needs to be increased, an additional steel platform must be added to achieve incremental storage. Its main disadvantages are: limited storage capacity, large footprint, and high construction investment. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-layer planar storage tank for railway wheelsets to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A railway vehicle depot or vehicle factory includes wheelsets 1 and a three-layer planar storage warehouse 2 for wheelsets 1. The planar storage warehouse 2 includes an inlet position 2A, an outlet position 2B, a ground steel structure 2C, a longitudinal track 2X, a first-layer support 21, and a gantry robot 3. The first-layer support 21 is fixed to the ground steel structure 2C. The wheelsets 1 include a first-layer wheelset 11, a second-layer wheelset 12, and a third-layer wheelset 13. The first-layer wheelset 11, the second-layer wheelset 12, and the third-layer wheelset 13 are the wheelsets 1 located on the first, second, and third layers of the planar storage warehouse 2, respectively. The horizontally staggered and crisscrossed first-layer support 21 is used to hold the wheelsets to be stored. The first-layer wheel pair 11 is placed on the first-layer wheel pair 11, the second-layer wheel pair 12 is placed on the third-layer wheel pair 13, and the third-layer wheel pair 13 is placed on the second-layer wheel pair 12. The wheel pair 1 is stored at the storage location 2A and exited at the storage location 2B. The gantry robot 3 includes a large trolley 3A, a small trolley 3B, a lifting device 3C, and a gripper 3D. The large trolley 3A includes a transverse track 3AY. The gripper 3D that grips the wheel pair 1 is installed on the lifting device 3C, and the lifting device 3C is installed on the small trolley 3B. The small trolley 3B can run on the transverse track 3AY, and the large trolley 3A can run on the longitudinal track 2X. The transport of the wheel pair 1 between the storage location 2A, the exit location 2B, the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer is achieved by the gantry robot 3.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lifting device 3C includes a multi-stage lifting device.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lifting device 3C includes two sets of grippers 3D, which can grip two adjacent wheel pairs 1.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the gripper 3D includes a telescopic device 3D1, the telescopic device 3D1 includes a telescopic head 3D1A, the telescopic head 3D1A can extend into the top of the inner concave ring of the wheel rim.
[0008] In summary, compared with traditional technology, this utility model fixes a single layer of support to an almost rigid support base, thus allowing the storage of three layers of wheelsets. Therefore, it occupies a small area and can store a large number of wheelsets. Attached Figure Description
