[0041] Combination Figure 1-11As shown, this utility model provides a transportation system for a container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle, including: an aerial rail 10, a bogie assembly 20, a container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30, and a lifting mechanism 40. One end of the bogie assembly 20 is connected to the aerial rail 10 and is located below the aerial rail 10; the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 is connected to the bogie assembly 20 and is located below the bogie assembly 20; the lifting mechanism 40 is located below the aerial rail 10; wherein, the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 includes a frame assembly 1 and two suspension assemblies 2, the two suspension assemblies 2 are connected to the frame assembly 1 and are located below the frame assembly 1, and are used to suspend material boxes 3; the lifting mechanism 40 is used to replace the material boxes 3 suspended by the suspension assemblies 2.

[0042] In the embodiments of this utility model, it is understood that Figure 1-6 This is a diagram illustrating the replacement of material box 3. Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating the process of unloading the material box 3 from the box-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 to the lifting mechanism 40 in order to raise the lifting mechanism 40 to the bottom of the material box 3. Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing how the lifting mechanism 40 is lowered to its initial height to complete the unloading of the material box 3; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the relative position of the lifting mechanism 40 and the material box 3 when the material box 3 needs to be loaded.

The container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 is connected below the bogie assembly 20 of the aerial rail 10, allowing it to move along the aerial rail 10 to transport material boxes 3. The bogie assembly 20 can also be used to control the steering of the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30. By using the lifting mechanism 40 to transport materials on the aerial rail 10, manual assistance is not required when changing material boxes 3, thus automating the material box 3 replacement and improving transportation efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 40 includes: a movable part 41, a lifting rod 42, and a lifting platform 43. The movable part 41 is used to move the lifting mechanism 40; one end of the lifting rod 42 is movably connected to the movable part 41; and the lifting platform 43 is connected to the other end of the lifting rod 42 and is used to place the material box 3.

[0044] In this embodiment, the moving part 41 can drive the lifting mechanism 40 to move to or from below the material box 3. When unloading the material box 3, the lifting rod 42 can drive the lifting platform 43 to the bottom of the material box 3. Alternatively, when loading the material box 3, the lifting rod 42 can lift the material box 3 on the lifting platform 43 to a height that facilitates the connection of the box-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 to the material box 3.

[0045] In some embodiments, the frame assembly 1 includes: a center beam 11, two end beams 13, a plurality of crossbeams 16 and two bolster beams 12, wherein the two end beams 13 are respectively connected to both ends of the center beam 11; the plurality of crossbeams 16 are arranged sequentially and vertically connected to the center beam 11; and the two bolster beams 12 are connected to the center beam 11 relative to each other, and the bolster beams 12 are connected between the end beams 13 and a crossbeam 16 near the end beams 13.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connection between the middle beam 11 and the two bolster beams 12, the vertical connection of multiple crossbeams 16 on the middle beam 11, and the connection between the middle beam 11 and the two end beams 13 enhance the overall strength of the frame assembly 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, the suspension assembly 2 is connected to the bolster beam 12 and located below the bolster beam 12, or the suspension assembly 2 is connected to the end beam 13 and located below the end beam 13.

[0048] In this embodiment, the suspension assembly 2 is connected to the lower part of the sleeper beam 12 or the end beam 13 to suspend the material box 3, so that the material box 3 can move with the box-type aerial rail transport vehicle 30.

[0049] In some embodiments, the material box 3 is provided with abutment portions 31 at both ends, and the suspension assembly 2 includes: two suspension arms 21, which are respectively connected to both ends of the pillow beam 12 and located below the pillow beam 12, or the two suspension arms 21 are respectively connected to both ends of the end beam 13 and located below the end beam 13; wherein, the end of the suspension arm 21 away from the middle beam 11 is provided with a locking portion 22 and an abutment rod 23, the abutment rod 23 is connected between the suspension arms 21, the abutment rod 23 is used to abut against the lower part of the abutment portion 31, and the locking portion 22 is used to lock the material box 3.

[0050] In this embodiment, the material box 3 is suspended by a suspension arm 21 connected to the lower part of the bolster beam 12 or the end beam 13. The lifting mechanism 40 adjusts the lifting height according to the length of the suspension arm 21. The locking part 22 abuts against the lower part of the abutment part 31 to complete the suspension of the material box 3, enabling the box-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 to move the material box 3. Specifically, the locking part 22 abuts against the lower part of the abutment part 31 to lock the material box 3 and prevent the material box 3 from detaching from the suspension assembly 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the locking part 22 is rotatably connected to the suspension arm 21. When the locking part 22 rotates to below the material box 3, the material box 3 is suspended on the suspension assembly 2. When the locking part 22 rotates to one side of the material box 3, the material box 3 is disengaged from the suspension assembly 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking part 22 is rotatably connected to the suspension arm 21. By rotating the locking part 22, the locking or releasing of the abutment part 31 can be completed, which facilitates the loading or unloading of the material box 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the bogie assembly 20 includes a bogie body 201 and a bolster 202, and the center beam 11 is provided with a connecting hole 14 for the bogie body 201 to pass through.

[0054] In this embodiment, one end of the bogie assembly 20 is connected to the bolster 202 through the connecting hole 14. The bogie assembly 20 can drive the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 to move along the aerial rail 10. Moreover, the bogie assembly 20 can drive the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30 to complete the turning, which facilitates the transportation of the material box 3.

[0055] In some embodiments, the frame assembly 1 also includes a plurality of electrical devices 112 disposed on both sides of the center beam 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, the electrical equipment 112 is used to receive and send instructions and control the movement and steering of the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30, which facilitates the transport of the material boxes 3 by the container-changing aerial rail transport vehicle 30. Specifically, the bottom of the end beam 13 is higher than the bottom of the end of the bolster beam 12 to prevent interference between the end beam 13 and the components on the bolster beam 12.

[0057] In some embodiments, the center beam 11 is provided with a tie rod seat mechanism 111 near the connection hole 14. The tie rod seat mechanism 111 includes a traction tie rod seat (not shown). The traction tie rod seat is connected to a traction tie rod seat (not shown) fixed on the bogie assembly 20 through a traction tie rod (not shown). This increases the connection between the bogie assembly 20 and the frame assembly 1, making the connection between the bogie assembly 20 and the frame assembly 1 more stable and facilitating the movement and rotation of the frame assembly 1 by the bogie assembly 20.

[0058] In some embodiments, the frame assembly 1 further includes two sets of shock absorber supports 15, which are located on both sides of the sleeper beam 12 and are used to connect shock absorbers to facilitate the replacement of the box-type aerial rail transport vehicle 30 for shock absorption.
