[0042] As Figures 1-6As shown, the shuttle vehicle track lap joint device of the embodiment of the application comprises a connecting piece 10, a corbel cross beam 9 and a track 6. The connecting piece 10 is a plate-shaped structure with a "L" shaped cross section. The top is vertically bent to form a first connecting plate 1. The middle is horizontally bent to form a second connecting plate 2. The middle is vertically bent to form a third connecting plate 4. The bottom is horizontally bent to form a fourth connecting plate 3. There are two connecting pieces 10. The bottoms are respectively fixedly connected at both ends of the corbel cross beam 9. The two connecting pieces 10 are above the corbel cross beam 9. The second connecting plates 2 of the two connecting pieces 10 correspond to and are parallel to each other. The track 6 is lapped on the connecting piece 10 and respectively attached to the first connecting plate 1, the second connecting plate 2, the third connecting plate 4 and the fourth connecting plate 3. The guide rail is fixedly connected with the connecting piece 10.

[0043] The top of the connecting piece 10 is vertically bent to form the first connecting plate 1 and the third connecting plate 4, so that the track 6 can be stably lapped and supported above. The second connecting plate 2 and the fourth connecting plate 3 bent horizontally provide horizontal stability for the track 6. The corbel cross beam 9 serves as a bridge between the connecting piece 10 and the track 6. The bottoms of the connecting piece 10 are respectively arranged at both ends of the corbel cross beam 9. The fixed connection ensures the stability between the connecting piece 10 and the corbel cross beam 9. The track 6 is lapped on the connecting piece 10 and respectively attached to and detachably connected with the first connecting plate 1, the second connecting plate 2, the third connecting plate 4 and the fourth connecting plate 3, ensuring the close connection between the track 6 and the connecting piece 10. Through the joint action of multiple connection points, the stability of the track 6 is further enhanced, ensuring that the track 6 will not displace or deform during operation, thereby ensuring the operation efficiency and safety of the shuttle vehicle.

[0044] In this specific embodiment, the connecting plate can effectively transmit the load from the track 6 to the support column 7, avoiding deformation of the shuttle vehicle track 6 during transportation and installation. Specifically, the connecting plate can ensure smooth transmission of the load between the track 6 and the support column 7, thereby ensuring the overall stability and safety. The connecting plate connection also has the ability to correct the deformation of the track 6. Due to various factors, the track 6 may be deformed during production and transportation. The connecting plate can fine-tune the track 6 to correct these deformations, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the track 6 during operation. In addition, the connecting plate connection is easy to disassemble and install, and can realize the rapid replacement and maintenance of the track 6 without damaging the overall structure of the track 6, greatly reducing the operation and maintenance cost of the warehouse system and improving the work efficiency.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the bending position of the first connecting plate 1 has a preset arc, the bending position of the second connecting plate 2 has a preset arc, the bending position of the third connecting plate 4 has a preset arc, and the bending position of the fourth connecting plate 3 has a preset arc. By introducing the arc, the connecting plate can better disperse stress at the bending position, enhance the overall strength and stability of the structure, help optimize the fit between the track 6 and the connecting piece 10, and reduce the risk of potential damage due to stress concentration.

[0046] In this specific embodiment, the vertical bending position of the top of the first connecting plate 1 has a preset arc, so that the track 6 can transition more smoothly when lapping, reducing friction and wear. The bending position of the second connecting plate 2 in the horizontal direction also has a preset arc, enhancing the stability of the track 6 in the horizontal direction, and making the connection between the connecting pieces 10 more secure and less likely to loosen. The vertical bending position of the third connecting plate 4 also adopts a preset arc design, which helps to further disperse stress and improve the load-bearing capacity of the connecting piece 10. The horizontal bending position at the bottom of the fourth connecting plate 3 is designed with a preset arc, so that the track 6 can be more firmly attached to the connecting piece 10 when fixed, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire track 6 system.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the second connecting plate 2 is detachably connected to the track 6, and the fourth connecting plate 3 is detachably connected to the track 6, enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the track 6 system, and saving a lot of time and cost. In an automated warehouse system, when a shuttle vehicle needs to run on newly added tracks 6, the maintainer only needs to simply install new connecting plates to extend the track 6 system to the required range without the need for complex track 6 laying and connecting work.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, the connecting piece 10 is four, two connecting pieces 10 are a group, and the bending direction of the second connecting plate 2 and the fourth connecting plate 3 of a group of connecting pieces 10 is opposite. The horizontal direction of the second connecting plate 2 and the fourth connecting plate 3 in each group of connecting pieces 10 is opposite when bending, which facilitates the fixation of the two connecting pieces 10 in a group, and the plate surface can be attached.

[0049] Further, in this specific embodiment, the plate surface of each group of connecting pieces 10 is bolted, which can fix the two connecting pieces 10 in a group.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the shuttle vehicle track 6 lap joint device further comprises: support columns 7, two of which are vertically arranged at the two ends of the corbel cross beam 9, and are fixedly connected to the two ends of the corbel cross beam 9 respectively. The number of support columns 7 is set to two, which are vertically arranged at the two ends of the corbel cross beam 9, so as to optimize the stress condition of the support column 7 and ensure the stability of the corbel cross beam 9 in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the two support columns 7 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the corbel cross beam 9 by means of bolt connection, so as to ensure the close fit between the support column 7 and the corbel cross beam 9, thereby effectively dispersing the stress of the track 6 system during use.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the shuttle vehicle track 6 lap joint device further comprises: a support frame 8 arranged on the support column 7 and fixedly connected to the support column 7 and the connecting piece 10 at both ends. The fixed connection points at both ends of the support frame 8 are aligned with the support column 7 and the connecting piece 10 respectively, so as to ensure the stability of the entire track 6 system in the vertical and horizontal directions. By introducing the support frame 8, the track 6 system can better disperse the impact force during the operation of the shuttle vehicle, thereby improving the overall durability and safety.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, the track 6 comprises: a first track 6 plate, which is a plate-shaped structure with a predetermined length, and one side of the first track 6 plate is bent by 90 degrees along the width direction to form a second track 6 plate, the other side of the second track 6 plate is bent by 90 degrees away from the first track 6 plate to form a third track 6 plate, and the third track 6 plate is bent by 90 degrees away from the second track 6 plate to form a fourth track 6 plate. The track 6 is matched with the connecting piece 10, and the first track 6 plate is attached to the first connecting plate 1, the second track 6 plate is attached to the second connecting plate 2, the third track 6 plate is attached to the third connecting plate 4, and the fourth track 6 plate is attached to the fourth connecting plate 3. The first track 6 plate is a plate-shaped structure with a predetermined length, which ensures that the track 6 has sufficient extension in the length direction to meet the running requirements of the shuttle vehicle at different distances. The first track 6 plate is bent by 90 degrees along the width direction to form the second track 6 plate. This bending design not only increases the complexity of the track 6, but also provides an additional support surface for the track 6, thereby enhancing the stability of the track 6.

[0053] Specifically, the bending structure of the track 6 is matched with the connecting piece 10, the first track 6 plate is closely attached to the first connecting plate 1, the second track 6 plate is attached to the second connecting plate 2, the third track 6 plate is connected to the third connecting plate 4, and the fourth track 6 plate is closely connected to the fourth connecting plate 3, so as to ensure the stable connection between the track 6 and the connecting piece 10, and make the entire track 6 system more compact and efficient.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the first connecting plate 1, the second connecting plate 2, the third connecting plate 4 and the fourth connecting plate 3 are integrally formed with the connecting piece 10.

[0055] The rail 6 system comprises shuttle rail 6 overlap devices, the number of connecting pieces 10 and corbels 9 is multiple, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rail 6, and each corbel 9 matches two groups of connecting pieces 10. In this way, multiple connecting pieces 10 and corbels 9 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. When it is necessary to build a more complex rail 6 network, the number and grouping of connecting pieces 10 can be increased to adapt to the running needs of the shuttles in different directions.

[0056] The above has described the embodiments of the present application, the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market of the embodiments, or to enable other ordinary skilled persons in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
