However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a highly adaptable rail transport device, comprising:

[0026] The movable component 100 includes a bracket 101, a crossbeam 102 fixedly installed on the top side wall of the bracket 101, a first slide rail 103 installed on the upper end of the crossbeam 102, a first sliding member 104 adapted to be installed in the middle of the first slide rail 103, and a support plate 105 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sliding member 104.

[0027] The unloading assembly 200 includes a first cylinder 201 fixedly installed in the middle of the support plate 105, a connecting plate 202 fixedly installed at the end of the first cylinder 201, a second slide rail 203 fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting plate 202, a second sliding member 204 slidably installed in the middle of the second slide rail 203, and a clamping plate 205 fixedly installed on the side wall of the second sliding member 204. The clamping plates 205 are symmetrically arranged below the connecting plate 202.

[0028] The support frame 101 plays a crucial role in stabilizing the entire device, ensuring its stability during operation. The crossbeam 102 is fixedly installed on the top side wall of the support frame 101, providing a platform for the installation and operation of other components. The first slide rail 103 is installed on the upper end of the crossbeam 102 and cooperates with the matching first sliding member 104, enabling the support plate 105 to slide smoothly along the direction of the crossbeam 102, thereby changing the horizontal position of the unloading assembly to meet the loading and unloading needs of goods at different positions. The first cylinder 201 is fixed in the middle of the support plate 105, and the connecting plate 202 connected to its end can move up and down under the drive of the first cylinder 201, thereby driving the entire unloading assembly to perform lifting and lowering actions to adjust the vertical height relative to the goods, adapting to loading and unloading operations at different heights. The second slide rail 203 is fixed on the side wall of the connecting plate 202 and cooperates with the second sliding member 204 slidably installed in the middle, allowing the clamping plate 205 to slide horizontally.

[0029] Specifically, the unloading assembly 200 also includes a second cylinder 206 fixedly connected to the middle position of the second sliding member 204, and the end of the second cylinder 206 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the side wall of the connecting plate 202.

[0030] The second cylinder 206 is fixed in the middle of the second sliding member 204, and its end is connected to the middle of the side wall of the connecting plate 202. By extending and retracting the second cylinder 206, the sliding distance of the second sliding member 204 can be controlled more precisely, and the distance between the clamping plates 205 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the gripping needs of goods of different sizes.

[0031] Furthermore, the unloading assembly 200 also includes a guide rod 207 inserted into the side wall of the clamping plate 205, a fixing plate 208 fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod 207, and a vacuum suction cup 209 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 208. The vacuum suction cup 209 is used in conjunction with the clamping plate 205.

[0032] The guide rod 207 is inserted into the side wall of the clamping plate 205, and a vacuum suction cup 209 is installed on the fixing plate 208 connected to its end. When gripping goods, the vacuum suction cup 209 works in conjunction with the clamping plate 205. The clamping plate 205 clamps the goods from both sides, while the vacuum suction cup 209 uses the principle of vacuum adsorption to further enhance the gripping force on the goods, ensuring that the goods will not fall off during loading and unloading.

[0033] Furthermore, the unloading assembly 200 also includes a third cylinder 210 fixedly connected to the middle position of the lower end of the clamping plate 205, and the output end of the third cylinder 210 is fixedly connected to the center of the fixed plate 208.

[0034] The third cylinder 210 is fixed at the middle of the lower end of the clamping plate 205, and its output end is connected to the center of the fixed plate 208. By extending and retracting the third cylinder 210, the lifting and lowering of the fixed plate 208 and the vacuum suction cup 209 can be controlled, thereby better adapting to the gripping of goods of different widths and improving the adaptability of the device.

[0035] Preferably, the unloading assembly 200 further includes a sleeve 211 fixedly connected to the middle position of the support plate 105, and a guide post 212 slidably inserted into the middle of the sleeve 211, the guide post 212 being fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 202.

[0036] The sleeve 211 is fixed in the middle of the support plate 105, and the guide post 212 is slidably inserted into the middle of the sleeve 211 and fixed to the side wall of the connecting plate 202. During the process of the first cylinder 201 driving the connecting plate 202 to rise and fall, the guide post 212 slides along the sleeve 211, providing precise guidance for the rise and fall of the connecting plate 202, ensuring the stability and verticality of the unloading assembly during the rising and falling process.

[0037] It should be noted that the unloading assembly 200 also includes a locking block 213 fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 202, and a stop bar 214 fixedly connected to the upper end of the second sliding member 204, with the end of the stop bar 214 inserted into the middle of the locking block 213.

[0038] The locking block 213 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting plate 202, and the stop bar 214 is fixed to the upper end of the second sliding member 204 with its end inserted into the middle of the locking block 213. This structure limits the sliding range of the second sliding member 204, preventing it from disengaging from the second slide rail 203 due to excessive movement during horizontal sliding, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the horizontal sliding of the clamping plate 205.

[0039] Preferably, the moving assembly 100 further includes a limiting plate 106 fixedly connected to the side wall of the crossbeam 102, and a spring column 107 fixedly connected to the end of the limiting plate 106, the end of the spring column 107 extending to the side wall of the support plate 105.

[0040] The limiting plate 106 is fixed to the side wall of the crossbeam 102, and the spring column 107 connected to its end extends to the side wall of the support plate 105. When the support plate 105 approaches the limiting position during movement, the spring column 107 will generate a buffering effect, effectively avoiding impact damage to the support plate 105 caused by excessive movement, and at the same time, it can accurately limit the movement range of the support plate 105, ensuring its stability and reliability.

[0041] In use, when the first cylinder 201 is activated, its piston rod extends or retracts, driving the connecting plate 202 connected to the end to move vertically, thereby realizing the overall lifting and lowering action of the unloading assembly. The second slide rail 203 fixed to the side wall of the connecting plate 202, together with the second sliding member 204 slidably installed in the middle, constitutes a horizontal sliding system. The clamping plate 205 is fixed to the side wall of the second sliding member 204. When the second sliding member 204 slides on the second slide rail 203, the clamping plate 205 also moves horizontally accordingly, realizing the clamping position of the goods. The addition of a second cylinder 206 further improves the gripping accuracy. The second cylinder 206 is fixed in the middle of the second sliding member 204, with its end connected to the middle of the side wall of the connecting plate 202. By controlling the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 206, the sliding distance of the second sliding member 204 can be precisely controlled, thereby flexibly and accurately adjusting the distance between the clamping plates 205 to accommodate goods of different sizes. When gripping goods, the guide rod 207, the fixing plate 208, and the vacuum suction cup 209 work together with the clamping plates 205. 207 is inserted into the side wall of clamping plate 205, serving a guiding and stabilizing function. A vacuum suction cup 209 is installed on the fixing plate 208 connected to its end. Clamping plate 205 applies clamping force from both sides of the cargo, initially securing it. Simultaneously, the vacuum suction cup 209 activates, using the principle of vacuum adsorption to firmly adhere to the surface of the cargo. This dual action ensures that the cargo is firmly gripped during loading and unloading, preventing slippage. Furthermore, a third cylinder 210, fixed at the lower center of clamping plate 205, has its output end connected to fixing plate 208. 8. When facing goods of different thicknesses, the third cylinder 210 can control the lifting and lowering of the fixed plate 208 and the vacuum suction cup 209 through telescopic control, further enhancing the adaptability to gripping different goods. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the unloading component, the first sliding member 104 can be driven by the control equipment. A motor or a cylinder component can be used instead. The first sliding member 104 will slide smoothly along the first slide rail 103, thereby driving the support plate 105 fixed on its side wall to move synchronously and accurately position it to the required working position.

[0042] In summary, the first cylinder 201 drives the unloading assembly 200 to lift and lower as a whole, quickly adjusting it to a suitable height for docking with goods; the second cylinder 206 precisely controls the spacing of the clamping plates 205, enabling rapid clamping of goods; combined with the sliding design of the first slide rail 103 and the first sliding member 104, and the second slide rail 203 and the second sliding member 204, it enables rapid grabbing, horizontal movement, and placement of goods, shortening loading and unloading time, improving operational efficiency, and meeting the demand for fast and efficient logistics transportation in industrial production. The combination of the vacuum suction cup 209 and the clamping plates 205 provides double protection for grabbing packaged goods. The vacuum suction cup 209 utilizes the principle of vacuum adsorption to adhere to packaged goods with different surface materials; the clamping plates 205 provide clamping force from both sides. Together, they can adapt to goods of various shapes. At the same time, each cylinder can flexibly adjust the gripping position and force of the components. For example, the second cylinder 206 adjusts the spacing of the clamping plates 205 to adapt to goods of different sizes, and the third cylinder 210 controls... The lifting and lowering of the fixed plate 208 and vacuum suction cup 209 are adapted to accommodate goods of different thicknesses, enhancing the device's adaptability to different types of goods and reducing the need to replace equipment due to differences in packaging materials, such as the smoothness and anti-slip properties of the packaging material. The device's structural design fully considers stability and reliability. The setting of the limiting plate 106 and spring column 107 limits the movement range of the support plate 105 and provides cushioning when it reaches its limit position, avoiding damage caused by hard collisions. The guide column 212 and sleeve 211 fit tightly together to ensure that the connecting plate 202 remains vertically stable during lifting and lowering, preventing swaying and deviation. The locking block 213 and stop bar 214 limit the sliding range of the second sliding member 204 to prevent it from derailing and ensure the safety of the horizontal movement of the clamping plate 205. These components work together to effectively reduce the probability of device failure during operation, lower maintenance costs, extend equipment service life, and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the rail crane.
