[0039] Embodiments of this application provide a double-column heavy-duty stacker crane, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the double-column heavy stacker crane includes a frame, a loading platform 200, and a lifting mechanism 400.
[0040] The frame includes a first column 110, a second column 120, an upper crossbeam 130, and a lower crossbeam 140. The first column 110 and the second column 120 are spaced apart. The upper crossbeam 130 connects the tops of the first column 110 and the second column 120. The lower crossbeam 140 connects the bottoms of the first column 110 and the second column 120. A first fixed pulley 131 and a second fixed pulley 132 are respectively provided on one side of the upper crossbeam 130 near the first column 110 and the end near the second column 120. A third fixed pulley 133 and a fourth fixed pulley 134 are arranged side by side on the other side of the upper crossbeam 130 near the end of the first column 110.
[0041] The loading platform 200 is located between the first column 110 and the second column 120. The loading platform 200 is provided with a first movable pulley 210 at the end near the first column 110 and a second movable pulley 220 at the end near the second column 120.
[0042] The lifting mechanism 400 includes a lifting motor 410, a first drum 420, a second drum 430, a first wire rope 440, and a second wire rope 450. The lifting motor 410 is fixed to the outside of the first column 110. The first drum 420 and the second drum 430 are both connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 410. One end of the first wire rope 440 is connected to the first drum 420, and the other end passes through the first fixed pulley 131, the second fixed pulley 132, and the second movable pulley 220, and is then fixed to the end of the upper crossbeam 130 near the second column 120 by a clamp 135. One end of the second wire rope 450 is connected to the second drum 430, and the other end passes through the third fixed pulley 133, the fourth fixed pulley 134, and the first movable pulley 210, and is then fixed to the end of the upper crossbeam 130 near the first column 110 by a clamp 135.
[0043] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 400 of the double-column heavy stacker crane adopts a single lifting motor 410 to simultaneously drive the first drum 420 and the second drum 430, i.e., a single motor and double drum configuration, which better ensures the synchronous lifting of both ends of the loading platform 200 and avoids the problem of the loading platform 200 tilting when lifting the extra-long loading platform 200. By setting a first movable pulley 210 and a second movable pulley 220 at both ends of the loading platform 200, the movable end of the first wire rope 440 passes through the first fixed pulley 131, the second fixed pulley 132 and the second movable pulley 220 and is then fixed to the end of the upper crossbeam 130 near the second column 120 by a lifting clamp 135; the movable end of the second wire rope 450 passes through the third fixed pulley 133, the fourth fixed pulley 134 and the first movable pulley 210 and is then fixed to the end of the upper crossbeam 130 near the first column 110 by a lifting clamp 135. This method of lifting with movable pulleys is more labor-saving, greatly increases the load capacity of the loading platform 200, and can still ensure good lifting smoothness under heavy load.
[0044] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, two telescopic forks 300 are spaced apart along the length of the loading platform 200. The telescopic forks 300 are used to pick up and drop goods. Understandably, the telescopic direction of the telescopic forks 300 is perpendicular to the length of the loading platform 200.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, two linear modules 201 are spaced apart along the length of the loading platform 200. Two telescopic forks 300 are respectively mounted on the two linear modules 201. The two telescopic forks 300 can move closer or further apart under the drive of the two linear modules 201. Preferably, the linear module 201 is a ball screw type linear module.
[0046] The spacing between the two telescopic forks 300 is adjusted by using two linear modules 201, which can adapt to different insertion positions on different goods / pallets and improve the applicability of this double-column heavy stacker crane.
[0047] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic forks 300 are equipped with rubber pads 301 at the parts that come into contact with the goods. Specifically, the rubber pads 301 can be 5mm thick willow leaf-patterned rubber pads, used for anti-slip and protection of the goods at the contact points.
[0048] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 2-3 and Figures 5-6As shown, vertically extending guide rails 150 are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the first column 110 and the second column 120, and guide wheel sets 230 are provided at both ends of the loading platform 200, which are slidably connected to each guide rail 150. Through the cooperation of the guide rails 150 and the guide wheel sets 230, the loading platform 200 is ensured to rise and fall smoothly.
[0049] Furthermore, safety clamps 240 are provided at both ends of the loading platform 200 to cooperate with each guide rail 150. The safety clamps 240 are used to stop the loading platform 200 in case of rapid descent and clamp it onto the guide rail 150. Limit switches for limiting the rising and falling positions of the loading platform 200 are provided on the first column 110 and / or the second column 120. Hydraulic buffers are provided at the top of the lower crossbeam 140 and the bottom of the upper crossbeam 130.
[0050] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a control cabinet 121 and an operating console 122 are provided on the outer side of the second column 120.
[0051] A traveling mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the lower crossbeam 140. A ground rail 500 for guiding the movement of the traveling mechanism is provided below the lower crossbeam 140, and a ceiling rail 600 for guiding the movement of the frame is provided above the upper crossbeam 130.
[0052] The overhead rail 600 is parallel to the upper crossbeam 130 and is tactilely connected to the limiting rollers on the upper crossbeam 130. The traveling mechanism on the lower crossbeam 140 moves horizontally on the ground rail 500. The traveling mechanism includes a traveling motor, traveling wheels connected to the output shaft of the traveling motor, and traveling guide wheels fixed on both sides of the lower crossbeam 140. Both the traveling wheels and the traveling guide wheels are tactilely connected to the ground rail 500. The traveling motor outputs power to the traveling wheels, which roll along the ground rail 500 to complete the horizontal displacement of the entire double-column heavy stacker crane. The traveling guide wheels on both sides of the lower crossbeam 140 are used to prevent the frame from tilting and to provide guidance.
[0053] Furthermore, the control cabinet 121 is powered by a sliding contact line arranged parallel to the ground rail 500.
[0054] In actual use, the traveling wheels are driven by a motor, which in turn drives the stacker crane to move along the overhead rails 600 and ground rails 500 to enter and exit the automated warehouse. Simultaneously, the lifting motor 410 drives the first wire rope 440 and the second wire rope 450 to wind or release along their corresponding drums, achieving smooth lifting and lowering of the loading platform 200 and its telescopic forks 300. The telescopic forks 300 themselves extend and retract to retrieve goods from the automated warehouse or place goods onto the corresponding shelves.
[0055] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, a laser reflector 501 is provided at one end of the ground rail 500 along its length, and a laser rangefinder sensor (not shown in the figure) that emits laser light to the laser reflector 501 is provided on the lower crossbeam 140.
[0056] The machine frame is positioned by using a laser rangefinder and a laser reflector 501. The accuracy of the movement position can also be improved by using a motor encoder on the walking motor.
[0057] 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.
[0058] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
