[0002] A transfer cart is a vehicle used to transport goods or people between different locations, widely used in logistics, medical, and industrial fields. It is particularly prevalent in factory workshops. Transfer carts with a sliding shoe rail power supply transmit power to the cart via a sliding contact line, eliminating the need for cables dragging on the ground. This allows for flexible design and layout based on the production line layout and the cart's operating route, effectively avoiding interference and damage from external factors such as obstacles. However, transfer carts with this power supply generally use low-voltage power. The control signal from the frequency converter on the cart cannot be transmitted through low voltage to control the motor speed. When transferring certain goods, without frequency converter speed control, the cart cannot achieve a slow motor start, which can easily damage the mechanical transmission mechanism.

[0023] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides a transfer vehicle control system, which includes a signal transmitter 100, a first signal receiver 200, a step-down transformer 300, a sliding shoe rail 400, a step-up transformer 500, a second signal receiver 600, and a transfer vehicle 700. The signal transmitter 100 serves as the source of control signals, responsible for generating and transmitting control commands. The control commands transmitted by the signal transmitter 100 are transmitted to the first signal receiver 200 or the second signal receiver 600 via wired or wireless means, achieving remote signal transmission. The first signal receiver 200 is electrically connected to the signal transmitter 100, and the electrical connection between the first signal receiver 200 and the signal transmitter 100 can be a wired communication connection or a wireless communication connection. The first signal receiver 200 is used to receive control signals emitted by the signal transmitter 100.
[0024] The step-down transformer 300 is electrically connected to the first signal receiver 200. After receiving the control signal from the signal transmitter 100, the first signal receiver 200 controls the voltage input and stop of the step-down transformer 300 to the sliding shoe rail 400.

The design of the sliding shoe rail 400 allows the transfer vehicle 700 to receive voltage stably while moving on the rail, ensuring continuous operation of the system.
[0025] A step-up transformer 500 is electrically connected to a sliding shoe rail 400. The step-up transformer 500 is used to boost the voltage. Specifically, the low voltage input from the sliding shoe rail 400 is fed into the step-up transformer 500, and the input low voltage is stably boosted to a high voltage to meet the high voltage requirements of the inverter 710 in the transport vehicle system. A second signal receiver 600 is electrically connected to the step-up transformer 500 and the signal transmitter 100. The second signal receiver 600 receives control signals from the signal transmitter 100 and converts them into electrical signals suitable for subsequent processing. By receiving control signals from the signal transmitter 100, the second signal receiver 600 ensures that the output voltage of the step-up transformer 500 matches the requirements of the transport vehicle 700.
[0026] The transport vehicle 700 includes a frequency converter 710 and a motor 720. The frequency converter 710 is electrically connected to a second signal receiver 600, which controls the operating status of the frequency converter 710. The motor 720 is electrically connected to the frequency converter 710, and the frequency converter 710 adjusts the operating speed of the motor 720 according to the received control signals. A power module provides a stable input power to the entire transport vehicle control system. The power module converts external power (such as AC mains or industrial power) into voltage and current suitable for the operation of the transport vehicle control system, ensuring that all components of the control system can function properly. Specifically, the power module is electrically connected to a step-down transformer 300 to provide power to the step-down transformer 300.
[0027] In this transfer vehicle control system, the signal transmitter 100 transmits signals to the first signal receiver 200 and the second signal receiver 600. The first signal receiver 200 controls the voltage input and stop of the step-down transformer 300 to the sliding shoe rail 400. The second signal receiver 600 controls the frequency conversion adjustment of the frequency converter 710 and can adjust the acceleration and deceleration frequency multiplier of the frequency converter 710 according to the actual working conditions. In this transfer vehicle control system, the design of the step-down transformer 300 and the step-up transformer 500 allows the transfer vehicle 700 to retain the frequency conversion control of the motor 720 on the basis of the sliding shoe rail power supply method, which improves the safety of the site, reduces the wear rate or damage of the mechanical transmission mechanism of the transfer vehicle 700, and at the same time, the running speed of the transfer vehicle 700 is adjustable, which can avoid the impact of inertia on the loaded goods. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the signal transmitter 100, the first signal receiver 200, and the second signal receiver 600 are all existing common signal receiving devices and can be obtained through general commercial means.

Specifically, to effectively solve the problem of voltage drop caused by the long travel of the sliding shoe guide rail 400, a design of multiple step-down transformers 300 is adopted. These step-down transformers 300 are electrically connected to different positions on the sliding shoe guide rail 400, ensuring that each step-down transformer 300 can provide a stable voltage within its coverage area, thus ensuring that the voltage remains stable during long-distance power supply.
[0029] In one embodiment of the transfer vehicle control system of this utility model, there are multiple sets of first signal receivers 200, and each set of first signal receivers 200 is electrically connected to multiple sets of step-down transformers 300.

[0030] In one embodiment of the transfer vehicle control system of this utility model, the transfer vehicle control system further includes an interlock device 800 for preventing multiple step-down transformers 300 from supplying power simultaneously. The interlock device 800 provides interlock control between each step-down transformer 300, ensuring that when one step-down transformer 300 is controlled, the operation of other step-down transformers 300 is ineffective, thus preventing short circuits between the guide rail and the step-down transformers 300. Specifically, in this embodiment, the interlock device 800 is an electrical interlock circuit. The structural design and working principle of electrical interlock circuits are well-known in the industry and have wide applications in this field, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0034] In one embodiment of the transfer vehicle control system of this utility model, the step-down transformer 300 is a 380 / 36V single-phase dry step-down transformer. The power module inputs a 380V voltage to the input terminal of the step-down transformer 300 for step-down, and the output terminal of the step-down transformer 300 outputs a 36V voltage to the slipper rail 400.
[0035] In one embodiment of the transfer vehicle control system of this utility model, the step-up transformer 500 is a 36 / 56V single-phase step-up transformer. The 36V voltage in the slipper rail 400 is input to the step-up transformer 500, and the input voltage is stably boosted to 56V to meet the high voltage requirements of the frequency converter 710 in the transfer vehicle system.
[0036] In the transfer vehicle control system of this utility model, the signal transmitter transmits signals to the first signal receiver and the second signal receiver. The first signal receiver controls the voltage input and stop of the step-down transformer to the sliding shoe rail. The second signal receiver controls the start and stop of the frequency converter and the acceleration and deceleration control of the frequency converter, and can adjust the acceleration and deceleration frequency multiplier of the frequency converter according to the actual working conditions. In this transfer vehicle control system, the design of the step-down transformer and the step-up transformer allows the transfer vehicle to retain the frequency conversion control method of the motor on the basis of the sliding shoe rail power supply method, reducing the wear rate or damage of the mechanical transmission mechanism of the transfer vehicle.

This improves the technical problem that the control signal of the frequency converter in the existing transfer vehicle cannot be transmitted through low voltage to control the motor speed, which easily causes damage to the mechanical transmission mechanism of the transfer vehicle. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art and has high utilization value and significance.
