Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated warehouse shuttle car maintenance equipment, and in particular to a collaborative system for all-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer of shuttle cars. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern logistics warehousing, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) have become the preferred warehousing solution for many enterprises due to their high space utilization and cargo storage and handling capabilities. Within the AS / RS system, shuttle cars, as the core handling equipment, play a crucial role in accurately placing goods into designated storage compartments. These shuttle cars move along rack guides, enabling efficient cargo flow, and their operational stability and reliability directly affect the overall operational efficiency of the AS / RS system.

[0003] However, there are currently many problems with the loading, unloading, and maintenance of shuttles on racks. At present, most companies still rely on traditional equipment such as forklifts and overhead cranes for shuttle transport. This traditional method has significant drawbacks: First, forklift and overhead crane operations require a large working space, which is extremely inconvenient in the relatively compact environment of an automated warehouse. This not only reduces overall operational efficiency but also easily leads to operational errors due to space constraints, causing damage to the warehouse facilities and the shuttles. Second, using forklifts and overhead cranes to transport shuttles requires professional operators, resulting in high labor costs and strict skill requirements, making manpower allocation difficult. Third, traditional transport methods struggle to ensure accurate positioning when placing shuttles on rack rails, leading to deviations that can affect the subsequent normal operation of the shuttles.

[0004] Furthermore, the inherent structural characteristics of the shuttle also present challenges for maintenance. Important photoelectric components such as the shuttle's motor and barcode scanner are typically mounted at the bottom. Maintenance of these components requires lifting the shuttle to allow personnel to observe and address the issues. However, traditional transfer equipment cannot perform this function and necessitates external lifting equipment, which not only hinders maintenance personnel operation and reduces work efficiency but also increases setup costs.

[0005] In summary, the existing shuttle transfer and maintenance methods are not only inefficient and costly, but also suffer from problems such as inaccurate positioning and complex operation, which seriously restrict the efficient operation of multi-level automated warehouses and the maintenance of shuttles. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a shuttle car full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system.

[0007] This application provides a shuttle car full-dimensional inspection and intelligent transfer collaborative system, including: a track module for docking with an automated warehouse and allowing shuttle cars to enter; a lifting module for lifting the shuttle car on the track module to expose the bottom of the shuttle car; wherein, the track module includes: a first track and a second track, both extending along a first direction and arranged opposite to each other along a second direction, the first track and the second track being able to cooperate to support the shuttle car; a limiting connecting rod, each of the first track and the second track is provided with a limiting connecting rod, the limiting connecting rod extending along the second direction, the extended end of the limiting connecting rod having a limiting hole; the lifting module includes a base, a lifting movable seat, and a lifting driver, the lifting movable seat being used to contact and lift the shuttle car, the lifting... The driver is used to drive the lifting seat to move vertically towards or away from the base, with the vertical direction, the first direction, and the second direction being perpendicular to each other. The base is provided with a limiting guide sleeve, which has a guide hole extending along the second direction for inserting a limiting connecting rod. The lifting seat is provided with a limiting block. After the limiting connecting rod is inserted into the limiting guide sleeve, the protruding end of the limiting connecting rod can pass through the limiting guide sleeve and expose the limiting hole below the limiting block. The limiting block can be inserted into the limiting hole, thereby fixing the track module and the lifting module. Through the limiting connecting rod, the first track and the second track are detachably connected to the lifting module. After the lifting module lifts the shuttle, the first track and / or the second track can be removed, which can better open up space and facilitate maintenance personnel to handle the shuttle.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting connecting rod is equipped with a positioning element that cannot enter the guide hole. When the limiting connecting rod is inserted, as the limiting connecting rod goes deeper into the guide hole, the positioning element gets closer to the limiting guide sleeve and is eventually blocked by the limiting guide sleeve, thereby limiting the relative position of the track module and the lifting module.

[0009] Furthermore, along the second direction, the position of the positioning element on the limiting connecting rod is adjustable; by changing the position of the positioning element, the depth of the limiting connecting rod inserted into the guide hole can be changed, thereby changing the distance between the first track and the second track, so that the track module can accommodate shuttles of different widths.

[0010] Furthermore, the base is also equipped with a storage slot for accommodating the removed first and / or second rails.

[0011] Furthermore, the track module also includes: a first limiting block, detachably mounted on the first track or the second track, and whose position on the first track or the second track is adjustable along the first direction; a second limiting block, detachably mounted on the first track or the second track, and whose position on the first track or the second track is adjustable along the first direction; after the shuttle enters the first track or the second track, it can be stopped by the second limiting block, which can prevent the shuttle from continuing to move forward; after the second limiting block stops the shuttle, the first limiting block is inserted, so that the shuttle is positioned between the first limiting block and the second limiting block, and the first limiting block and the second limiting block can cooperate to limit the position of the shuttle.

[0012] Furthermore, the first and second tracks are also provided with guide chutes, which also extend along the first direction. After the shuttle enters the first and second tracks, the carbon brush of the shuttle's current collector can be inserted into the guide chutes and move in the guide chutes as the shuttle moves. The guide chutes can protect the carbon brushes and prevent dust.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting module also includes an elastic connector, one end of which is connected to the base and the other end to the lifting movable seat. The elastic connector can both limit the movement and pull the lifting movable seat when it descends, thereby causing the lifting movable seat to reset.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting module also includes a vertical limiting component, which includes: a vertical guide rod extending in the vertical direction; a vertical guide hole also extending in the vertical direction, with the vertical guide rod slidably disposed in the vertical guide hole; one of the base and the lifting movable seat is provided with a vertical guide rod, and the other is provided with a vertical guide hole; when the lifting driver drives the lifting movable seat to move in the vertical direction, the vertical guide rod can move along the vertical guide hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting module also includes: a fixing component for securing the shuttle to the lifting seat; and / or a moving component connected to the base, through which the shuttle's full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system can be displaced.

[0016] Furthermore, the lifting module also includes a counterweight, which is located on the side of the base away from the shuttle entrance. This counterweight is used to balance the weight and prevent the lifting module from tilting when the shuttle enters due to the increased weight on the entrance side.

[0017] This application provides a shuttle car full-dimensional inspection and intelligent transfer collaborative system, including a track module and a lifting module. The track module is used to dock with an automated warehouse and to allow the shuttle car to enter. The lifting module is used to lift the shuttle car on the track module to expose the bottom of the shuttle car. The track module includes a first track, a second track, and a limiting connecting rod. The first track and the second track are detachably connected to the lifting module through the limiting connecting rod. The lifting module includes a base, a lifting movable seat, and a lifting driver. The base is provided with a limiting guide sleeve for inserting the limiting connecting rod, and the lifting movable seat is provided with a limiting plug for fixing the limiting connecting rod. The shuttle car full-dimensional inspection and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided by this application solves the transfer difficulties when the shuttle car is loading and unloading from the shelf. The challenging problem is solved by connecting the track module with the automated warehouse racking rails, making the shuttle's entry and exit from the warehouse much easier. The transfer process does not require large external equipment, reducing operational difficulty and space requirements. Simultaneously, the lifting module can elevate the shuttle, facilitating maintenance of components such as the motor and barcode scanner at its base, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, the detachable design of the track module compared to the lifting module further simplifies maintenance. The shuttle's all-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application has a simple overall structure, is easy to manufacture, and significantly reduces manufacturing costs compared to traditional transfer and maintenance equipment. Moreover, a single person can operate the shuttle for transfer and maintenance, reducing labor costs and making the process more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] This application provides a shuttle car full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system, including: a track module 100 for docking with an automated warehouse and allowing shuttle cars to enter; and a lifting module 200 for lifting the shuttle car on the track module 100 to expose the bottom of the shuttle car. The track module 100 and the lifting module 200 work together to achieve efficient and convenient transfer of shuttle cars and facilitate subsequent maintenance.

[0026] The track module 100 includes: a first track 110 and a second track 120, both extending along a first direction and facing each other along a second direction, capable of supporting the shuttle vehicle; and a limiting connecting rod 130, which is provided on both the first track 110 and the second track 120, extending along the second direction, with a limiting hole 131 at the extended end of the limiting connecting rod 130.

[0027] Specifically, the track module 100 undertakes the important tasks of docking with the automated warehouse and guiding the shuttle car into the warehouse. The track module 100 includes a first track 110 and a second track 120 extending along a first direction (i.e., the direction in which the shuttle car travels) and arranged opposite to each other along a second direction (i.e., the width direction of the shuttle car). In use, the first track 110 and the second track 120 are docked with the rack rails of the automated warehouse, allowing the shuttle car to drive into the track module 100 actively or be pushed into the track module 100 by a worker.

[0028] The first track 110 and the second track 120 can facilitate the entry of shuttle cars by extending the shelf guide rails, and can also provide a stable travel path for the shuttle cars.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the first track 110 and the second track 120 are symmetrically arranged along a second direction. The top surfaces of the first track 110 and the second track 120 are guide planes, allowing the wheels of the shuttle to enter the guide planes. A guide rail is provided on the side of the first track 110 away from the second track 120, and a guide rail is also provided on the side of the second track 120 away from the first track 110. The guide rails can block the wheels; the two sets of guide rails work together to confine the shuttle to the guide plane and prevent the shuttle from leaving the track module 100 from the side.

[0030] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The first track 110 has two sets of limiting connecting rods 130 on the side facing the second track 120. The two sets of limiting connecting rods 130 are spaced apart along the first direction. The end of the limiting connecting rod 130 that points to the second track 120 is its extended end. The extended end of the limiting connecting rod 130 is provided with a limiting hole 131.

[0031] Similarly, the second track 120 is also provided with two sets of limiting connecting rods 130 on the side facing the first track 110. The two sets of limiting connecting rods 130 are also arranged at intervals along the first direction. The limiting connecting rod 130 points to one end of the first track 110, that is, its extended end. The extended end of the limiting connecting rod 130 is provided with a limiting hole 131.

[0032] The limiting connecting rod 130 is a key structure for connecting the track module 100 and the lifting module 200.

[0033] The lifting module 200 includes a base 210, a lifting seat 220, and a lifting driver 230. The lifting seat 220 is used to contact and lift the shuttle car, and the lifting driver 230 is used to drive the lifting seat 220 to move vertically to approach or move away from the base 210. The vertical direction, the first direction, and the second direction are mutually perpendicular. The base 210 is provided with a limiting guide sleeve 240, which has a guide hole extending along the second direction for inserting a limiting connecting rod 130. The lifting seat 220 is provided with a limiting insert 250. After the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted into the limiting guide sleeve 240, the protruding end of the limiting connecting rod 130 can pass through the limiting guide sleeve 240 and expose the limiting hole 131 below the limiting insert 250. The limiting insert 250 can be inserted into the limiting hole 131, thereby fixing the track module 100 and the lifting module 200. The first track 110 and the second track 120 are detachably connected to the lifting module 200 via the limiting connecting rod 130. After the lifting module 200 lifts the shuttle, the first track 110 and / or the second track 120 can be removed to better open up the space and facilitate maintenance personnel to handle the shuttle.

[0034] Specifically, the base 210 serves as the support base for the entire system. The base 210 is equipped with a limiting guide sleeve 240, which corresponds one-to-one with the limiting connecting rod 130. The limiting guide sleeve 240 has a guide hole for the insertion of the limiting connecting rod 130. When the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted into the limiting guide sleeve 240 from the outside, its protruding end can pass through the limiting guide sleeve 240 from the inside, thus exposing the limiting hole 131.

[0035] The lifting seat 220 is movably mounted on the base 210 and located between the first track 110 and the second track 120, and can be raised from between the two sets of tracks to lift the shuttle car.

[0036] The lifting drive 230 is the power source that enables the lifting movable seat 220 to move in the vertical direction. The lifting drive 230 can be an automatic drive component such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, or a manual drive component such as a jack or a screw.

[0037] In one specific implementation method, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base 210 is a trolley support with casters at the bottom (i.e., the moving component 276 described below). The lifting actuator 230 is located in the middle of the base 210 and uses a jack. The jack has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is low in cost. During lifting, the jack provides stable support, ensuring the shuttle rises smoothly and preventing tilting or swaying due to unstable lifting. Simultaneously, the jack offers the advantage of convenient manual control of the lifting height, allowing maintenance personnel to flexibly adjust the shuttle's lifting height according to their own height and different maintenance needs. For example, when inspecting components at different locations on the bottom of the shuttle, the height can be fine-tuned at any time, making maintenance operations more convenient and efficient. Using a manually controlled actuator like the jack offers greater flexibility and can meet diverse maintenance scenarios.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The top of the base 210 is formed by four square tubes. Each of the four ends of the two square tubes extending along the first direction is provided with a limiting guide sleeve 240. The limiting guide sleeve 240 is roughly rectangular in shape. The limiting guide sleeve 240 is provided with a guide hole that runs through along the second direction. The shape of the guide hole is adapted to the limiting connecting rod 130.

[0039] Optionally, the trolley bracket at the bottom of the base 210 is constructed from sheet metal parts, while the four square tubes at the top and the limiting guide sleeve 240 are made of aluminum alloy to avoid excessive weight and facilitate operation.

[0040] Combined with reference Figure 4The lifting seat 220 includes: two main panels 221, which are symmetrically arranged along a second direction; two connecting rods 222, which are used to connect the two main panels 221 in series, and are spaced apart along a first direction, respectively connecting one end of the main panels 221; the two main panels 221 and the two connecting rods 222 constitute an installation frame; a support beam 223, which is located in the middle of the installation frame and connects the two main panels 221 in series; the support beam 223 is thicker and has reliable structural rigidity; and a force-bearing shaft 224, which is located on the bottom surface of the support beam 223 facing the lifting drive 230, and is used to bear the lifting force from the lifting drive 230.

[0041] Optionally, the main panel 221 is made of aluminum alloy. The density of aluminum alloy is typically between 2.6 and 2.8 g / cm³, which is about one-third of the density of steel (around 7.8 g / cm³). Using aluminum alloy to make the main panel 221 can significantly reduce the overall weight of the lifting seat 220.

[0042] During lifting operations, the lifting drive 230 needs to overcome less gravity, resulting in a lower required lifting force. Taking a common screw jack as an example, when lifting the lighter lifting movable seat 220, it is easier for the operator to manually rotate the screw; a hydraulic jack can reduce the pressure requirement of hydraulic oil, reduce energy consumption, and achieve a more convenient lifting operation.

[0043] In addition, although aluminum alloys have low density, their strength is not low. Some high-strength aluminum alloys can have a tensile strength of 300~500MPa or even higher. This means that using aluminum alloys to manufacture the main panel 221 can not only reduce its own weight and facilitate lifting, but also ensure structural reliability. It will not deform or be damaged during use due to insufficient material strength, thus ensuring the safe lifting and maintenance of the shuttle.

[0044] Optionally, the support beam 223 is made of 40Cr alloy steel.

[0045] 40Cr alloy steel possesses excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, exhibiting high strength with a yield strength of approximately 800 MPa and a tensile strength of approximately 1000 MPa. This allows it to effectively withstand the pressure exerted by the lifting actuator 230 during lifting, preventing bending and deformation. Furthermore, 40Cr alloy steel has better hardenability; after tempering, it maintains core toughness while increasing surface hardness and enhancing wear resistance. In practical use, even under prolonged exposure to significant pressure and friction, it maintains good performance, reducing wear and deformation, thereby ensuring the reliability and service life of the support beam 223.

[0046] Optionally, the load-bearing shaft 224 is made of GCr15 bearing steel.

[0047] GCr15 bearing steel is a commonly used high-carbon chromium bearing steel with high and uniform hardness, good wear resistance, and contact fatigue strength. Its hardness is generally between HRC61 and 65, which allows the bearing surface of the load-bearing shaft 224 to resist wear and plastic deformation when subjected to the lifting force of the lifting drive 230. At the same time, GCr15 bearing steel has good dimensional stability; after appropriate heat treatment, it can effectively reduce dimensional changes during use, ensuring the fitting accuracy of the load-bearing shaft 224 with other components, and ensuring the smoothness and safety of the lifting process.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 4 Each of the two main panels 221 has two sets of limiting blocks 250 on its inner side facing each other, and the two sets of limiting blocks 250 on one main panel 221 are spaced apart along the first direction. (Refer to reference...) Figure 1 Each of the four sets of limit inserts 250 corresponds one-to-one with each of the four sets of limit guide sleeves 240. (Refer to the reference.) Figure 2 When the shuttle car full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system is in the preparation state (the first track 110 and the second track 120 are installed in place, and the lifting movable seat 220 is not lifted), the limit connecting rod 130 is inserted into the limit guide sleeve 240, the protruding end is inserted between the two main panels 221 and located directly below the limit plug 250, and the limit plug 250 is inserted into the limit hole 131.

[0049] In practical applications, the limiting hole 131 and the limiting insert 250 can be designed in various ways. For example, the limiting hole 131 can be a pin hole, and the limiting insert 250 can be a pin, with the end of the pin facing the insertion hole being tapered. When installing the first track 110 or the second track 120, the limiting connecting rod 130 on it is aligned with the guide hole on the limiting guide sleeve 240. After the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted and the limiting hole 131 is exposed, as the lifting movable seat 220 falls, the pin on it can be inserted into the corresponding pin hole, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the track module 100 and the lifting module 200. In addition, since the end of the pin is tapered, the tapered guiding principle can be used to reduce the difficulty of insertion and improve the connection efficiency between the pin and the hole.

[0050] For example, the shuttle-based full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application also includes an automatic actuator (such as a cylinder, electric cylinder, etc.) to drive the limit block 250 closer to or further away from the limit hole 131. When the limit connecting rod 130 is inserted into place, exposing the limit hole 131, and the lifting movable seat 220 is lowered, the automatic actuator drives the limit block 250 to insert into the limit hole 131 and continuously provides pressure to ensure that the limit block 250 is securely held within the limit hole 131, thereby reliably locking the track module 100 and the lifting module 200. The driving force further enhances the stability of the connection.

[0051] For example, the limit plug 250 is designed as a button. When the limit connecting rod 130 is inserted into place, exposing the limit hole 131 and the lifting movable seat 220 is lowered, maintenance personnel can manually press the limit plug 250 into the limit hole 131. Specifically, the button includes a button cap, a return spring, and a housing. The button cap is connected to the limit plug 250. The return spring is sleeved on the limit plug 250 and located between the button cap and the housing. The housing is fixed on the lifting movable seat 220 and is used to accommodate and protect internal components. The end of the limit plug 250 can be inserted into the limit hole 131. When insertion is required, the button cap is pressed, and the limit plug 250 moves down, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring and inserting into the limit hole 131. At this time, the return spring is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. When the limit plug 250 needs to be pulled out, the button cap is pressed again, and the limit plug 250 can pop up under the elastic force of the return spring, disengaging from the limit hole 131. The button design is simple and intuitive to operate, which is advantageous in scenarios where ease of operation and cost control are more important. Maintenance personnel can flexibly choose whether to perform the connection operation according to the actual situation, and manual operation makes it easy to detect and deal with any problems that may occur during the connection process.

[0052] This application does not limit the specific configuration and mating method of the limiting hole 131 and the limiting insert 250.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, when the shuttle needs maintenance, it is driven into the track module 100 by a self-propelled or manually propelled vehicle. The lifting driver 230 is activated, causing the lifting seat 220 to rise and lift the shuttle, disengaging it from the first track 110 and the second track 120. Simultaneously, as the lifting seat 220 rises, the limiting block 250 disengages from the limiting hole 131. With the extended end no longer secured, the operator can easily pull out the first track 110 and the second track 120 from the limiting guide sleeve 240. At this point, the shuttle is unobstructed on all sides, and its bottom is exposed to the outside. The exposed track module 100 allows maintenance personnel to easily inspect and repair it. After inspection, align the guide hole, insert the limit connecting rod 130, and reinstall the first track 110 and the second track 120 onto the base 210. Turn off the lifting drive 230, causing the lifting movable seat 220 to descend. The limit plug 250 is then reinserted into the corresponding limit hole 131, thereby fixing the track module 100. The base 210, track module 100, and lifting movable seat 220 return to their ready-to-work state. The shuttle car falls back into the track module 100 and can return to the automated warehouse along the original path of the first track 110 and the second track 120.

[0054] The shuttle car full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application solves the problem of difficult transfer when the shuttle car is loaded and unloaded from the rack. By connecting the track module 100 with the rack guide rail of the automated warehouse, the entry and exit of the shuttle car is made easier, and the transfer process does not require the assistance of large external equipment, reducing the difficulty of operation and the space requirements. At the same time, the lifting module 200 can lift the shuttle car, which makes it convenient to maintain and repair the motor, barcode scanner and other components at its bottom, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, the detachable form of the track module 100 compared to the lifting module 200 further facilitates maintenance.

[0055] The shuttle car full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application has a simple overall structure and is easy to manufacture. Compared with traditional transfer and maintenance equipment, it greatly reduces manufacturing costs. At the same time, a single person can operate the shuttle car to complete the transfer and maintenance work, reducing labor costs and making the process more convenient.

[0056] Optionally, the shuttle full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application also includes a docking module to facilitate quick docking between the track module 100 and the rack guide rail.

[0057] In one embodiment, the docking module adopts a convex-concave interlocking form. Specifically, one of the track module 100 and the shelf guide rail has a protruding structure at its track end, and the other has a groove structure at its track end that matches the shape of the protruding structure. The protruding structure can be rectangular, trapezoidal, or other shapes that facilitate interlocking, and the protruding part has a certain length and height to ensure the stability of the interlocking. The dimensions of the groove structure are precisely adapted to the protruding structure, so that the protruding structure can be inserted into the groove structure, and the two can fit together tightly.

[0058] When docking the shelf guide rail and track module 100, the operator aligns the protruding structure and the recessed structure, then pushes the track module 100 closer to the shelf guide rail until the protruding structure inserts into the recessed structure. During this process, the protruding structure gradually embeds into the recessed structure, achieving automatic alignment through the interplay between the protruding and recessed structures. The shape design of the protruding and recessed structures guides them to accurately position themselves during docking, thus achieving a convenient and accurate docking operation.

[0059] The interlocking design allows for quick and easy connection of two sets of tracks. A simple interlocking action enables the rack guide rails and track modules to align rapidly, significantly improving connection efficiency. Furthermore, the tight fit between the interlocking structures effectively reduces gaps at the connection point, ensuring the shuttle's stability during operation and preventing bumps caused by uneven track alignment.

[0060] Optionally, the protruding structure is made of an elastic material (such as rubber or plastic). In this way, after the protruding structure is inserted into the groove structure, the elasticity of the material allows it to fit tightly against the inner wall of the groove structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the docking and also playing a certain buffering role, reducing the vibration at the docking point when the shuttle is moving.

[0061] Optionally, the groove structure is provided with several ball bearings. In this way, when the protruding structure is inserted, the ball bearings roll, which can reduce friction and make the docking process smoother.

[0062] In another embodiment, the docking modules adopt a complementary modular splicing form. For example, the docking end of the shelf guide rail is designed with a multi-layered stepped shape, and the width and height of each step are designed according to actual needs and load-bearing capacity; correspondingly, the docking end of the track module 100 is also designed with a multi-layered stepped shape. The stepped structure of the track module 100 is complementary to the stepped structure of the shelf guide rail, that is, the protruding part of the shelf guide rail end corresponds to the concave part of the track module 100 end, and the concave part of the shelf guide rail end corresponds to the protruding part of the track module 100 end. In this way, the shelf guide rail and the track module 100 can be tightly interlocked during docking.

[0063] The modular docking system, with its complementary interlocking design, allows operators to simply bring the ends of the shelf rails and track modules 100 close together. The stepped structure automatically interlocks without requiring complex adjustments or calibrations, thus reducing docking time and improving efficiency. Furthermore, the complementary shapes of the modular structure precisely limit the positioning of the shelf rails and track modules 100 in both horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring complete alignment of their center lines. This prevents the shuttle from deviating or jamming during operation, enhancing the stability and reliability of transportation.

[0064] Optionally, the shuttle full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application also includes a locking module for fixing the track module 100 and the shelf guide rail after docking.

[0065] In one embodiment, the locking module adopts a snap-fit ​​design. Specifically, one of the shelf guide rail and the track module 100 is provided with a snap-fit ​​seat, and the other is provided with a snap-fit. The snap-fit ​​seat is usually a structure with a slot, the shape of which matches the snap-fit. The snap-fit ​​can be designed in various forms, such as a rotary snap-fit ​​or a push-button snap-fit. Taking a rotary snap-fit ​​as an example, it consists of a rotatable hook and a pivot connecting the hook, the shape of which can fit tightly with the slot.

[0066] After the rack guide rail and track module 100 are connected through the docking module, the buckle is rotated or pressed into the buckle seat so that the buckle and the buckle slot are tightly engaged. Through the mechanical locking between the buckle and the buckle seat, the relative displacement of the rack guide rail and track module 100 during use can be prevented, ensuring that the two always remain aligned.

[0067] The snap-locking module effectively prevents the rack guide rails and track module 100 from derailing, providing reliable protection for the shuttle's operation. Especially when the shuttle frequently travels back and forth between the rack guide rails and track module 100, the snap-locking action can withstand the impact and vibration generated by the vehicle's movement, ensuring the stability of the track connection and preventing safety accidents such as shuttle derailment due to track separation.

[0068] In another embodiment, the locking module adopts a magnetic attraction method. For example, magnets with opposite magnetic properties are installed on the shelf guide rail and the track module 100 respectively. When the two are close to each other, they attract each other by magnetic force, which can strengthen the connection. Overcoming the magnetic force can also disengage the connection, avoiding system interference with the normal operation of the automated warehouse. If necessary, after disengagement, the track module 100 can be moved to other positions in the automated warehouse for operation.

[0069] Magnetic locking is not only easy to operate, but it can also improve the timeliness and reliability of locking to a certain extent.

[0070] If necessary, an electromagnet can also be used to easily tighten or loosen the connection by switching the power on and off.

[0071] Optionally, the limiting connecting rod 130 is provided with a positioning element 132, which cannot enter the guide hole; when the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted, as the limiting connecting rod 130 continues to penetrate deeper into the guide hole, the positioning element 132 continuously approaches the limiting guide sleeve 240 and is eventually blocked by the limiting guide sleeve 240, thereby limiting the relative position of the track module 100 and the lifting module 200.

[0072] The positioning component 132 has various structural forms. For example, the positioning component 132 adopts a ring structure, which can be sleeved on the limiting connecting rod 130 and tightly fitted with the limiting connecting rod 130; another example is that the positioning component 132 adopts a small block structure, with the block-shaped positioning component 132 located on one side of the limiting connecting rod 130 and fixedly connected to the limiting connecting rod 130 by means of screw locking, welding or other methods.

[0073] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the inner surfaces of both the first track 110 and the second track 120 are provided with two sets of limiting connecting rods 130. A positioning element 132 is fitted onto each limiting connecting rod 130. The positioning elements 132 on the two sets of limiting connecting rods 130 on the same track are positioned horizontally in the second direction to ensure that the first track 110 and the second track 120 are parallel to each other after installation. The presence of the positioning element 132 increases the outer diameter of the limiting connecting rod 130, making the shaft diameter of its location larger than the diameter of the guide hole. Therefore, the positioning element 132 cannot enter the guide hole, and the limiting connecting rod 130 cannot continue to penetrate deeper into the guide hole.

[0074] During the actual assembly process, the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted into the guide hole. As the insertion depth increases, the positioning part 132 gradually approaches the limiting guide sleeve 240 and finally abuts against the limiting guide sleeve 240. At this time, the limiting connecting rod 130 can no longer move forward, which means that the limiting connecting rod 130 is installed in place. Thus, the relative position of the track module 100 and the lifting module 200 in the second horizontal direction is determined, and the relative position of the first track 110 and the second track 120 in the second horizontal direction is also determined.

[0075] The positioning component 132 simplifies and speeds up the installation of the track module 100 and the lifting module 200. Operators no longer need to repeatedly adjust and measure the insertion depth of the limiting connecting rod 130; they only need to insert it until the positioning component 132 is blocked by the limiting guide sleeve 240, significantly saving installation time and improving overall installation efficiency. The positioning component 132 also precisely defines the relative position of the first track 110 or the second track 120 in the second horizontal direction, preventing the limiting connecting rod 130 from being inserted too much or too little. This high-precision positioning ensures the accuracy of the connection between the track module 100 and the lifting module 200, providing a reliable and accurate foundation for subsequent operations such as lifting the shuttle car by the lifting module 200 and track assembly / disassembly, making the entire system more stable and reliable during operation.

[0076] Optionally, the position of the positioning member 132 on the limiting connecting rod 130 is adjustable along the second direction; by changing the position of the positioning member 132, the depth of the limiting connecting rod 130 inserted into the guide hole can be changed, thereby changing the distance between the first track 110 and the second track 120, so that the track module 100 can accept shuttles of different widths.

[0077] Specifically, for a narrower shuttle, the positioning element 132 is moved away from the limiting guide sleeve 240 so that the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted deeper, thereby reducing the distance between the first track 110 and the second track 120; for a wider shuttle, the positioning element 132 is moved closer to the limiting guide sleeve 240 so that the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted shallower, thereby increasing the distance between the first track 110 and the second track 120.

[0078] In one embodiment, the limiting connecting rod 130 adopts a screw structure with external threads on its surface; the positioning member 132 adopts a nut structure and can be connected to the limiting connecting rod 130 through threaded engagement. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first track 110 and the second track 120, the operator only needs to turn the positioning member 132 to make the positioning member 132 move axially on the limiting connecting rod 130.

[0079] In another embodiment, the positioning element 132 is configured as a clamp, consisting of two semi-circular clamps and bolts connecting them. During installation, the positioning element 132 is fitted onto the limiting connecting rod 130. By tightening the bolts, the two semi-circular clamps can engage and clamp the limiting connecting rod 130, thereby fixing the position of the positioning element 132. When adjustment is required, the bolts are loosened, reducing the clamping force of the two semi-circular clamps on the limiting connecting rod 130, allowing the positioning element 132 to move axially. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the bolts are tightened again to complete the position adjustment of the positioning element 132.

[0080] In another embodiment, the limiting connecting rod 130 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes spaced apart along its axial direction, and the positioning member 132 is set as a positioning pin. By selecting positioning holes at different positions and inserting them into the positioning member 132, the axial position of the positioning member 132 can be changed.

[0081] This application does not limit the specific configuration of the positioning element 132 or the specific way in which its axial position is adjustable.

[0082] By incorporating an axially adjustable positioning component 132, the shuttle car full-dimensional inspection and intelligent transfer collaborative system provided in this application can adapt to shuttle cars of different widths, eliminating the need to design different track modules 100 for each type of shuttle car, thus greatly improving the overall versatility of the system. This not only reduces equipment procurement and maintenance costs but also minimizes equipment modification work required due to changes in shuttle car specifications, thereby improving the operational efficiency of enterprises.

[0083] In actual logistics and warehousing scenarios, the specifications of shuttle cars may change with business development or equipment updates. The adjustable axial position design of the positioning component 132 allows the track module 100 to be flexibly adjusted and quickly adapt to new shuttle car specifications, ensuring the continuous availability of the whole machine and avoiding production interruptions caused by equipment incompatibility.

[0084] It is easy to understand that when the axial position of the positioning element 132 changes, the insertion depth of the limiting connecting rod 130 into the guide hole also changes. This causes a change in the protruding length of the extended end of the limiting connecting rod 130. If there is only one limiting hole 131, it will be difficult for the limiting hole 131 to continue to engage with the limiting insert 250 after its position changes. Therefore, the limiting connecting rod 130 is provided with multiple limiting holes 131, which are distributed at intervals along the axial direction. Adding limiting holes 131 ensures that there is always one limiting hole 131 aligned with the limiting insert 250.

[0085] Specifically, after adjusting the axial position of the positioning component 132, the limiting connecting rod 130 is inserted into the corresponding limiting guide sleeve 240. At this time, one of the multiple limiting holes 131 will be aligned with the limiting plug 250 on the lifting movable seat 220, so that the limiting plug 250 is inserted into the limiting hole 131, thereby fixing the track module 100 and the lifting module 200.

[0086] Optionally, the base 210 is also provided with a storage slot 260 for accommodating the removed first track 110 and / or second track 120.

[0087] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, along the second direction, a storage slot 260 is provided on each side of the bottom of the base 210. One storage slot 260 is located below the first track 110, and the other storage slot 260 is located below the second track 120. In use, the two storage slots 260 can accommodate the removed first track 110 or second track 120.

[0088] In other embodiments, only one storage slot 260 may be provided to accommodate both the first track 110 and the second track 120.

[0089] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage slot 260 includes two storage blocks with V-shaped grooves on the top, and the two storage blocks are spaced apart along a first direction. The spacing between the two storage blocks allows staff to easily access the first track 110 or the second track 120 in the storage slot 260.

[0090] The shape of the storage slot 260 is designed to facilitate the insertion and removal of the track. For example, the opening width of the storage slot 260 is slightly larger than the width of the track to facilitate its insertion; its depth is determined according to the thickness of the track, thus ensuring both track stability and ease of access for operators. The internal contour of the storage slot 260 can also be designed according to the shape of the track. For example, for tracks with a specific cross-sectional shape, the interior of the storage slot 260 can be designed to match that shape, further enhancing placement stability.

[0091] This application does not limit the specific configuration of the storage slot 260.

[0092] Optionally, the storage slot 260 is made of PE (polyethylene) material. PE material has good flexibility and a low coefficient of friction. When the first track 110 or the second track 120 is placed in the storage slot 260, the flexibility of the PE material can act as a buffer, reducing the impact force caused by collision or vibration between the track and the storage slot 260. At the same time, its low coefficient of friction makes it smoother to put in and take out the track, avoiding damage to the track surface due to excessive friction.

[0093] In one specific embodiment, when inspecting the shuttle, the lifting module 200 lifts the shuttle, causing it to move away from the track module 100. The operator removes the first track 110 and the second track 120, placing the removed first track 110 into the corresponding storage slot 260 on one side and the second track 120 into the storage slot 260 on the other side. Because the storage slot 260 is reasonably shaped and made of PE material, the tracks can be easily placed inside and well protected. After inspecting the shuttle, the tracks need to be reinstalled. The operator can easily remove the tracks from the storage slot 260 for reinstallation. The storage slot 260 provides temporary storage space for the tracks, preventing damage or loss that might occur from haphazard placement.

[0094] The storage slot 260 provides a dedicated place to store the disassembled first track 110 and second track 120, eliminating the need to find additional storage locations or use other auxiliary tools. Operators can immediately place the tracks into the storage slot 260 after disassembly and quickly retrieve them during installation, significantly saving maintenance time and improving overall maintenance efficiency.

[0095] Optionally, the track module 100 further includes: a first limiting block 141, detachably mounted on the first track 110 or the second track 120, and whose position on the first track 110 or the second track 120 is adjustable along a first direction; a second limiting block 142, detachably mounted on the first track 110 or the second track 120, and whose position on the first track 110 or the second track 120 is adjustable along a first direction; after the shuttle enters the first track 110 or the second track 120, it can be stopped by the second limiting block 142, which can prevent the shuttle from continuing to move forward; after the second limiting block 142 stops the shuttle, the first limiting block 141 is inserted, so that the shuttle is between the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142, and the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142 can cooperate to limit the position of the shuttle.

[0096] For details, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first limiting block 141 is a roughly n-shaped bent structure, which gives it a certain degree of elasticity. A first mounting hole is provided on the guide plane of the first track 110 and the second track 120. The first mounting hole includes a positioning insertion hole 111 and a retraction insertion hole 112. The positioning insertion hole 111 is rectangular, and the retraction insertion hole 112 is T-shaped. The end of the retraction insertion hole 112 closest to the positioning insertion hole 111 is its insertion end, and the other end away from the positioning insertion hole 111 is its retraction end. The diameter of the retraction end is smaller than the diameter of the insertion end. When installing the first limiting block 141, one side is inserted into the positioning socket 111. Due to the elasticity of the n-shaped bending structure, squeezing the first limiting block 141 causes it to compress and deform in the first direction, allowing the other side of the first limiting block 141 to be inserted into the insertion end of the retraction socket 112. Releasing the squeezing force on the first limiting block 141 allows it to return to its original shape due to its elasticity, enabling the other side of the first limiting block 141 to move from the insertion end to the retraction end. The other side of the first limiting block 141 cannot leave the small-diameter retraction end, thus achieving rapid installation of the first limiting block 141. To remove the first limiting block 141, squeeze it again to displace the other side to the insertion end, allowing it to be pulled out.

[0097] Continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second limiting block 142 is L-shaped. Its vertical surface is used to stop the wheels of the shuttle car to prevent it from moving forward. Its horizontal surface has mounting holes, which can be threaded holes or ordinary through holes. Multiple sets of threaded mounting holes 113 are also provided on the guide planes of the first track 110 and the second track 120, spaced apart along the first direction. To install the second limiting block 142, align the mounting holes on its horizontal surface with the threaded mounting holes 113 on the guide plane, and screw in the screws to secure the second limiting block 142. By selecting different positions of the threaded mounting holes 113 to install the second limiting block 142, its position on the track can be flexibly adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142.

[0098] In one specific implementation, a second limiting block 142 is first installed at a suitable position so that the shuttle car can be stopped by the second limiting block 142 after entering the track module 100. Then, according to the length of the shuttle car, a first limiting block 141 is installed at a suitable position so that the shuttle car is between the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142. The first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142 cooperate with each other to restrict the shuttle car from both front and rear directions, which can prevent the shuttle car from continuing to move along the track, thereby ensuring that the shuttle car remains stable during subsequent lifting, maintenance and other operations.

[0099] Since the positions of the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142 are adjustable, the operator can select different positions to install the first limiting block 141 and / or the second limiting block 142 according to the length of the shuttle. This allows for a smaller distance between the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142, facilitating the limiting of shorter shuttles; and a larger distance between the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142, facilitating the limiting of longer shuttles. In use, the positions of the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142 can be changed simultaneously, or the positions of the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142 can be changed separately, providing more diverse and flexible adjustment methods, a greater degree of adjustability, and better overall applicability.

[0100] The rational design and coordination of the first limiting block 141 and the second limiting block 142 improve the functionality of the track module 100 and enhance the stability and reliability of the entire shuttle car's all-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system. Limiting the shuttle car's position helps improve the quality and efficiency of maintenance work, reduces equipment damage or safety accidents caused by improper shuttle car fixing, and thus optimizes the overall performance of the equipment.

[0101] Optionally, the first track 110 and the second track 120 are also provided with guide grooves 143, which also extend along the first direction. After the shuttle enters the first track 110 and the second track 120, the carbon brush of the shuttle's current collector can be inserted into the guide groove 143 and move in the guide groove 143 as the shuttle moves. The guide groove 143 can protect the carbon brush and prevent dust.

[0102] Carbon brushes are widely used components in electrical equipment such as motors. In the shuttle's operating system, carbon brushes are a key component of the current collector, and their main function is to conduct current between relatively moving parts. Specifically, carbon brushes are responsible for maintaining a stable electrical connection with the power supply line when the shuttle is moving, ensuring that the shuttle can continuously receive power and maintain normal operation. Because carbon brushes frequently come into contact with and slide against other parts during operation, they are prone to wear. In addition, dust and other impurities entering between the carbon brush and the contact parts will accelerate wear, reduce conductivity, affect the stability of the shuttle's power supply, and thus interfere with the normal operation of the shuttle. Therefore, protecting the carbon brushes is essential.

[0103] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, a set of guide grooves 143 is provided on the inner side of the first track 110 facing the second track 120, and a set of guide grooves 143 is also provided on the inner side of the second track 120 facing the first track 110. The two sets of guide grooves 143 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction, which can perfectly match the carbon brushes on both sides of the shuttle's width direction. The guide grooves 143 extend in the same direction as the track to facilitate the movement of the carbon brushes with the shuttle. The inlet end of the guide groove 143 is designed in a trumpet shape to guide the carbon brushes into the guide groove 143.

[0104] The guide chute 143 protects against carbon brush wear and contamination, extending carbon brush lifespan. This translates to reduced brush replacement frequency, lower maintenance costs and downtime, and ultimately improved shuttle efficiency. Protecting the carbon brushes ensures stable power supply to the shuttle, preventing power outages or instability due to brush failure and guaranteeing smooth shuttle operation. Reducing abnormal situations during operation enhances the overall system reliability.

[0105] Optionally, the guide groove 143 is made of PE (polyethylene) material, which has good flexibility and wear resistance.

[0106] Because of the good flexibility of PE material, the guide groove 143 can act as a "shock absorber" to buffer the carbon brushes if they are subjected to vibration or impact during the movement of the shuttle. For example, if the shuttle experiences slight bumps during entry or travel, the guide groove 143 can absorb some of the vibration energy through its own deformation, preventing the vibration from being directly transmitted to the carbon brushes, reducing the risk of damage to the carbon brushes due to vibration, preventing problems such as breakage and detachment of the carbon brushes, and extending the service life of the carbon brushes.

[0107] Furthermore, due to the low coefficient of friction of PE material and its self-lubricating properties, the friction between the carbon brush and the guide groove 143 is small when the carbon brush moves within the guide groove 143. The smaller friction reduces carbon brush wear, as most wear is caused by friction, and reducing friction reduces the rate of material wear on the carbon brush surface. On the other hand, it also helps to improve the smoothness of carbon brush movement, ensuring stable contact between the carbon brush and the power supply line, maintaining the stability of the shuttle's power supply, and avoiding power outages or instability caused by poor carbon brush movement.

[0108] In addition, the surface of PE material is smooth and seamless, making it difficult for dust and impurities to adhere. Even if a small amount of dust falls on the guide groove 143, it can be easily cleaned away. This prevents dust and other impurities from entering the carbon brush, avoiding the presence of impurities that may accelerate the wear of the carbon brush or affect the conductivity between the carbon brush and the power supply line, thus ensuring the good working performance of the carbon brush.

[0109] Optionally, the lifting module 200 also includes an elastic connector 271, one end of which is connected to the base 210 and the other end is connected to the lifting movable seat 220. The elastic connector 271 can both limit the movement and pull the lifting movable seat 220 when it descends, thereby causing the lifting movable seat 220 to reset.

[0110] The elastic connector 271 can be made of elastic materials (such as rubber or plastic) or can be configured as an elastic structure such as a spring or sheet.

[0111] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic connector 271 is a spring. Four springs are connected between the base 210 and the lifting seat 220, and these four springs are distributed at the four corners. One end of each spring is connected to the base 210, and the other end is connected to the lifting seat 220. When the lifting module 200 is in the working state, the lifting seat 220 rises under the action of the lifting driver 230. At this time, the springs are stretched as the lifting seat 220 rises. After the lifting driver 230 is turned off and the lifting force on the lifting seat 220 is released, the springs elastically recover and can apply a pulling force to the lifting seat 220 to facilitate the lifting seat 220 to return to its original position.

[0112] The four springs, distributed at the four corners, provide a stable and balanced elastic force. During the rising and falling of the lifting seat 220, the four springs work together to effectively prevent the lifting seat 220 from tilting or swaying. Especially during the falling of the lifting seat 220, because the springs are evenly distributed at the four corners, the tension they provide is relatively balanced, which ensures that the lifting seat 220 falls smoothly and returns to its initial position accurately.

[0113] The design of the elastic connector 271 not only ensures the stability of the lifting module 200's operation but also provides a stable support environment for the shuttle placed on the lifting seat 220, preventing damage to the shuttle due to instability of the lifting seat 220 and improving the safety and reliability of the entire maintenance and transfer process. The reset function of the elastic connector 271 also allows the lifting seat 220 to quickly and automatically return to its initial position after completing the lifting task, which helps shorten the equipment's work cycle time and improves the overall efficiency of the shuttle's full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system. Furthermore, the elastic buffering effect of the elastic connector 271 can, to some extent, reduce the impact force on the lifting seat 220 during lifting, reducing wear between equipment components; for example, when the lifting seat 220 descends, the spring tension can slow its descent, preventing impact on the equipment due to sudden stopping. This helps extend the service life of the lifting module 200 and related components in the entire system, reducing equipment maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0114] Optionally, the lifting module 200 further includes a vertical limiting component, which includes: a vertical guide rod 272 extending in the vertical direction; a vertical guide hole 273 also extending in the vertical direction, with the vertical guide rod 272 slidably disposed in the vertical guide hole 273; one of the base 210 and the lifting movable seat 220 is provided with the vertical guide rod 272, and the other is provided with the vertical guide hole 273; when the lifting driver 230 drives the lifting movable seat 220 to move in the vertical direction, the vertical guide rod 272 can move along the vertical guide hole 273.

[0115] For details, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the top of the base 210 is formed by four square tubes joined together. Two of the square tubes extending along the first direction each have two vertical guide holes 273, and the four vertical guide holes 273 are distributed at the four corners. The two main panels 221 of the lifting movable seat 220 each have two vertical guide rods 272, and the four vertical guide rods 272 are distributed at the four corners. One vertical guide rod 272 passes through any one of the vertical guide holes 273. When the lifting driver 230 drives the lifting movable seat 220 to rise or fall, the vertical guide rods 272 move synchronously within the vertical guide holes 273, achieving limiting and guiding.

[0116] The vertical guide rod 272 fits tightly with the vertical guide hole 273, and the inner wall of the vertical guide hole 273 can constrain the movement trajectory of the vertical guide rod 272. Since the vertical guide hole 273 extends vertically, the vertical guide rod 272 can only slide up and down vertically within the vertical guide hole 273. This restricts the movement direction of the lifting movable seat 220 and prevents it from shifting or swaying horizontally during lifting, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the lifting movable seat 220.

[0117] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The bottom end of the vertical guide rod 272 is provided with a washer 277. The diameter of the washer 277 is larger than the diameter of the vertical guide hole 273, so that the washer 277 cannot enter the vertical guide hole 273. The washer 277 can prevent the vertical guide rod 272 from detaching.

[0118] Specifically, when the lifting seat 220 rises, the vertical guide rod 272 rises accordingly. Since the shim cannot enter the vertical guide hole 273, the vertical guide rod 272 is prevented from continuing to move upward when the shim contacts the bottom of the vertical guide hole 273. This prevents the vertical guide rod 272 from passing through the vertical guide hole 273 and prevents the base 210 and the lifting seat 220 from detaching. This safety design fundamentally eliminates the risk of the base 210 and the lifting seat 220 detaching during operation, preventing potential falling accidents, protecting the personal safety of operators, reducing economic losses caused by equipment damage, and thus improving the safety and reliability of the entire system.

[0119] Optionally, the lifting module 200 also includes a fixing member 274 for securing the shuttle to the lifting seat 220.

[0120] In one embodiment, specific details can be found by referring to Figure 4 The shape of the fixing component 274 is specially designed according to the shape of the shuttle car, which can tightly fasten the shuttle car to the lifting seat 220 from above. A positioning rod 225 is also provided between the two main panels 221 of the lifting seat 220, and the positioning rod 225 has screw holes. Since the shuttle car is usually assembled from plates, there are certain gaps between its structures. When the shuttle car enters the track module 100 and is in place, the screw holes on the positioning rod 225 can be exposed through these gaps. The fixing component 274 is provided with a manual adjusting screw 226. After the fixing component 274 fastens the shuttle car, its manual adjusting screw 226 can be aligned with the screw holes on the positioning rod 225. At this time, turning the manual adjusting screw can lock it with the screw holes, thereby fixing the shuttle car to the lifting seat 220.

[0121] In another embodiment, the fixing member 274 is a suction cup. For example, the fixing member 274 is a magnetic suction cup, with a metal block or magnetic patch installed on the lifting seat 220. The fixing member 274 and the lifting seat 220 attract each other, fixing the lifting seat 220 between them. Alternatively, the fixing member 274 is a negative pressure suction cup. The fixing member 274 is fixedly installed on the lifting seat 220. After the shuttle car arrives at its position, the fixing member 274 can create negative pressure by suction, using atmospheric pressure to firmly adhere the shuttle car to the lifting seat 220.

[0122] In another embodiment, the fixing member 274 is a clamp. The clamp is fixedly mounted on the lifting seat 220. After the shuttle car is in position, the clamp can clamp the shuttle car, thereby fixing the shuttle car on the lifting seat 220. The clamp can be designed according to the structural characteristics of the shuttle car, and the shuttle car can be fixed by clamping specific parts of the shuttle car, such as edges or protruding structures.

[0123] This application does not limit the specific configuration of the fastener 274.

[0124] Fixing the shuttle car to the lifting seat 220 can prevent the shuttle car from shifting or even detaching during lifting and maintenance, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the shuttle car, avoiding safety hazards caused by the displacement of the shuttle car, protecting the personal safety of maintenance personnel, and preventing damage to the shuttle car due to accidental movement, thus improving the reliability of maintenance work.

[0125] Optionally, the lifting module 200 also includes a moving component 276, which is connected to the base 210. The shuttle full-dimensional inspection and intelligent transfer collaborative system can be moved through the moving component 276.

[0126] In one embodiment, the moving component 276 is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) that can carry the base 210 and thus move the entire system.

[0127] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The moving component 276 uses casters. Specifically, four casters are mounted on the base 210: the two front casters are fixed casters, and the two rear casters are swivel casters. The fixed casters determine the direction when the system moves, ensuring that the system can move along a predetermined path. The swivel casters increase the flexibility of the system's movement, facilitating steering operations in narrow spaces or when a change of direction is required. The swivel casters also have brake devices; when the system is not needed, the brake devices can be used to fix the swivel casters to prevent accidental movement of the system.

[0128] The design of the mobile component 276 enables the shuttle-based full-dimensional maintenance and intelligent transfer collaborative system to move flexibly across different work sites. When maintenance is required on shuttles in different locations, no complex handling equipment is needed; the system can be directly pushed to the designated location, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0129] Optionally, the lifting module 200 also includes a counterweight 275, which is located on the other side of the base 210 away from the shuttle entrance. The counterweight 275 is used to balance the weight and prevent the lifting module 200 from tilting due to the increased weight on the entrance side when the shuttle enters.

[0130] Specifically, when the rack guide rail and the track module 100 are connected, the side closest to the rack guide rail, which is the entrance side where the shuttle enters, has a counterweight 275 on the opposite side, the bottom panel of the base 210. It is easy to understand that when the shuttle enters the track module 100, the shuttle's weight will be concentrated on the entrance side, while the other side, where the counterweight 275 is located, can form a relative balance with the shuttle's weight, counterbalancing it against the shuttle's weight.

[0131] Based on the lever principle, in a system where the base 210's contact point with the ground serves as the fulcrum, the shuttle's entry generates a downward gravitational force on the entrance side, creating a torque that causes the lifting module 200 to tilt towards the entrance. The counterweight 275, installed on the opposite side from the entrance, generates a gravitational force that creates a torque opposite in direction to the shuttle's gravitational torque. By rationally designing the weight and position of the counterweight 275, the magnitude of its generated torque is equal to and opposite in direction to the torque generated when the shuttle enters, thus achieving a balance and effectively preventing the system from tilting due to the shuttle's entry.

[0132] The counterweight 275 ensures the stability of the lifting module 200 and prevents tilting accidents. This not only guarantees the safety of the shuttle during transportation and maintenance, preventing it from falling and being damaged due to the tilting of the lifting module, but also protects the personal safety of maintenance personnel and reduces potential safety risks. A stable lifting module 200 is the foundation for the normal operation of the entire system. Preventing tilting ensures the smooth lifting of the lifting seat 220, making the connection between the track module 100 and the lifting module 200 more reliable, preventing misalignment or loosening due to tilting. This ensures the shuttle can smoothly perform lifting, maintenance, and subsequent return to the automated warehouse, improving the reliability and continuity of equipment operation.

[0133] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
