[0002] In the field of modern logistics warehousing, efficient and precise cargo handling and storage are key to improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. As one of the core pieces of equipment in warehousing and logistics, the performance and functionality of stacker cranes directly affect the operational effectiveness of the entire warehousing system. Traditional stacker cranes have certain limitations in terms of flexibility and space adaptability, making it difficult to meet the increasingly diverse and complex warehousing needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a wheeled omnidirectional stacker.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a wheeled omnidirectional stacker, including a crossbeam, a lifting mechanism and two support beams, the two support beams being respectively disposed at both ends of the crossbeam, a traveling mechanism being disposed at the bottom of the two support beams, the lifting mechanism being disposed in the middle of the crossbeam, and a control device for controlling the lifting mechanism and the traveling mechanism being disposed on the support beams.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the walking mechanism can drive the two support beams to move in various ways, so that the crossbeam and support beam form a portal frame that can move freely in the site, thus having better flexibility to adapt to different sites. The lifting mechanism is set in the middle of the crossbeam to lift materials and move them to the storage position for stacking.
[0007] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting device, a lifting rope, and a winch assembly for winding and unwinding the lifting rope. The winch assembly is mounted on the support beam. One end of the lifting rope is connected to the winch assembly, and the other end of the lifting rope is connected to the lifting device via a drive mechanism. The lifting device is connected to the support beam via a guide mechanism. This invention utilizes a lifting device to clamp and fix materials to the lifting rope, a winch assembly to wind or unwind the rope, driving the lifting device to rise or fall vertically, and a guide mechanism to prevent the lifting device from swaying, enabling it to move vertically up and down under the drive of the lifting rope and the winch assembly.
[0008] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a scissor fork assembly, one end of which is connected to the crossbeam, and the other end of which is connected to the lifting device. The scissor fork assembly includes several scissor fork groups, each including two connecting rods. The middle portions of the two connecting rods are rotatably connected to each other, and the two connecting rods form an X-shape. Two connecting rods in one scissor fork group are rotatably connected to one end of two connecting rods in an adjacent scissor fork group. This invention utilizes the cross-rotation of multiple connecting rods to form a scissor fork assembly, which can guide the lifting device vertically through its own telescopic movement, while the rigid structure formed by the multiple connecting rods prevents the lifting device from swaying.
[0009] Preferably, the scissor fork assembly is provided in two sets, with the two sets of scissor fork assemblies respectively located on both sides of the lifting device. A reinforcing rod connects the connecting rods in the two sets of scissor fork assemblies. This utility model strengthens the lifting device by providing scissor fork assemblies on both sides of the lifting device. The reinforcing rod enables the two sets of scissor fork assemblies to form a single unit, further enhancing its rigidity and preventing swaying.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting device is equipped with a load-bearing wheel, and one end of the lifting rope is guided by several guide wheels to pass over the load-bearing wheel, and one end of the lifting rope is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. This invention utilizes the load-bearing wheel to enable the lifting device to move by passing the lifting rope from below.
[0011] Preferably, the walking mechanism includes a plurality of drive wheels, which are respectively disposed at the bottom of two support beams. The number of drive wheels on the two support beams is the same, and each drive wheel is driven by a set of servo motors. This invention, by providing a separate servo motor for each drive wheel, allows for individual control of the rotation speed of each drive wheel, thereby enabling the walking mechanism to have more walking modes and thus be suitable for different sites.
[0012] Preferably, a second servo motor for steering the drive wheel is provided on one side of each drive wheel. This invention, by providing a second servo motor for steering the drive wheel, allows for individual control of the steering of each drive wheel, thereby enabling the walking mechanism to have more walking modes and thus be suitable for different sites.
[0013] Preferably, both support beams are detachably connected to the crossbeam, and both support beams are rotatably connected to a tilting frame, which is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. This invention utilizes the tilting frame to connect the support beams and crossbeams into a single unit, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. The rotation of the support beams enables the stacker crane's portal frame to fold, thus facilitating transport by the stacker crane.
[0014] Preferably, the tilting frame is a right-angled triangle, with one end of the hypotenuse rotatably connected to the support beam, and the other end of the hypotenuse rotatably connected to the support beam. One of the right-angled sides of the tilting frame is perpendicular to the crossbeam. This invention utilizes this tilting frame structure to support the crossbeam after the support beam is tilted, creating a space between the support beam and the crossbeam that prevents pressure on the portal frame.
[0015] Preferably, both support beams are equipped with laser anti-collision sensors. This invention utilizes a laser anti-collision mechanism to prevent collisions with the stacker crane.
[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The walking mechanism can drive the two support beams to move in various ways, so that the crossbeam and support beam form a portal frame that can move freely in the field, thus having better flexibility to adapt to different sites. The lifting mechanism is set in the middle of the crossbeam to lift materials and move them to the storage location for stacking.
[0018] 2. The scissor fork assembly is formed by the cross rotation of multiple links. It can guide the lifting device to move vertically through its own extension and retraction, while the rigid structure formed by multiple links prevents the lifting device from swaying.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a wheeled omnidirectional stacker includes a crossbeam 1, a lifting mechanism, and two support beams 2. The two support beams 2 are respectively located at both ends of the crossbeam 1. A traveling mechanism is located at the bottom of the two support beams 2. The lifting mechanism is located in the middle of the crossbeam 1. A control device 6 for controlling the lifting mechanism and the traveling mechanism is provided on the support beams 2.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the walking mechanism can drive the two support beams 2 to move in various ways, so that the crossbeam 1 and the support beam 2 form a portal frame that can move freely in the site, thus having better flexibility to adapt to different sites. The lifting mechanism is set in the middle of the crossbeam 1 to lift materials and move them to the storage position for stacking.
[0034] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting device 3, a lifting rope 4, and a winch assembly 5 for winding and unwinding the lifting rope 4. The winch assembly 5 is mounted on the support beam 2. One end of the lifting rope 4 is connected to the winch assembly 5, and the other end of the lifting rope 4 is connected to the lifting device 3 via a drive mechanism. The lifting device 3 is connected to the support beam 2 via a guide mechanism. The lifting device 3 can be used to clamp and fix materials to the lifting rope 4. The winch assembly 5 can wind or unwind the lifting rope 4, causing the lifting device 3 to rise or fall vertically. The guide mechanism is used to prevent the lifting device 3 from swaying and to allow it to move vertically up and down under the drive of the lifting rope 4 and the winch assembly 5.
[0035] The guiding mechanism includes a scissor fork assembly. One end of the scissor fork assembly is connected to the crossbeam 1, and the other end is connected to the lifting device 3. The scissor fork assembly includes several scissor fork groups, each of which includes two connecting rods 7. The middle parts of the two connecting rods 7 are rotatably connected to each other, and the two connecting rods 7 form an X shape. The two connecting rods 7 in one scissor fork group are rotatably connected to one end of the two connecting rods 7 in the adjacent scissor fork group. By utilizing the cross rotation of multiple connecting rods 7 to form the scissor fork assembly, the lifting device 3 can be guided to move vertically through its own extension and retraction. At the same time, the rigid structure formed by the multiple connecting rods 7 prevents the lifting device 3 from swaying.
[0036] The scissor fork assembly consists of two sets, each positioned on one side of the lifting device 3. A reinforcing rod 8 connects the connecting rod 7 between the two sets of scissor fork assemblies. By installing scissor fork assemblies on both sides of the lifting device 3, the strength of the lifting device 3 is enhanced. The reinforcing rod 8 allows the two sets of scissor fork assemblies to form a single unit, further increasing its rigidity and preventing swaying.
[0037] The lifting device 3 is equipped with a load-bearing wheel 9. One end of the lifting rope 4 is guided by several guide wheels 14 to pass over the load-bearing wheel 9, and one end of the lifting rope 4 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 1. The load-bearing wheel 9 allows the lifting rope 4 to drive the lifting device 3 to move by passing it over the load-bearing wheel from below.
[0038] The walking mechanism includes several drive wheels 10, which are respectively set at the bottom of two support beams 2. The number of drive wheels 10 on the two support beams 2 is the same, and each drive wheel 10 is driven by a set of servo motors 11. By setting a servo motor 11 for each drive wheel 10, the rotation speed of each drive wheel 10 can be controlled individually, thereby enabling the walking mechanism to have more walking modes and thus be suitable for different sites.
[0039] Each drive wheel 10 is equipped with a servo motor 2 12 on one side for steering the drive wheel 10. By equipping each drive wheel 10 with a servo motor 2 12 for steering, the steering of each drive wheel 10 can be controlled independently, thereby enabling the walking mechanism to have more walking modes and thus be suitable for different sites.
[0040] Both support beams 2 are detachably connected to the crossbeam 1, and both support beams 2 are rotatably connected to a tilting frame 13, which is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 1. The tilting frame 13 connects the support beams 2 and the crossbeam 1 into one unit, allowing the crossbeam 1 and support beams 2 to rotate relative to each other. The rotation of the support beams 2 allows the stacker crane's portal frame to fold, thus facilitating the stacker crane's transportation.
[0041] The tilting frame 13 is a right-angled triangle. One end of the hypotenuse of the tilting frame 13 is rotatably connected to the support beam 2, and the other end of the hypotenuse of the tilting frame 13 is also rotatably connected to the support beam 2. One of the right-angled sides of the tilting frame 13 is perpendicular to the crossbeam 1. This structure of the tilting frame 13 allows the crossbeam 1 to be supported after the support beam 2 is tilted, thus creating a gap between the support beam 2 and the crossbeam 1 that prevents pressure on the portal frame.
[0042] Both support beams 2 are equipped with laser anti-collision sensors. The laser anti-collision mechanism can prevent the stacker crane from colliding.
[0043] It should be noted that many specific details have been set forth in the above description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
