Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a shuttle vehicle and transportation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, shuttle vehicles in related technologies are susceptible to damage or rainwater dripping when transporting bottled or barrelled liquid goods. Furthermore, when shuttle vehicles carrying raw materials or finished products move between multiple environments (i.e., spaces with significant differences in temperature and humidity), condensation typically forms on the surface of the goods. During transportation, some water droplets may fall onto the upper part of the shuttle vehicle, potentially flowing into its interior. This could lead to short circuits or burnout of electrical components, abnormal sensor alarms, and even abnormal shutdowns of the shuttle vehicle, causing the entire warehousing and logistics system to crash, affecting the efficiency of goods handling, and even resulting in safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiments of this utility model are intended to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, a first aspect of the embodiments of this utility model provides a shuttle vehicle.

[0005] A second aspect of the embodiments of this utility model provides a transportation device.

[0006] In view of the above, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a shuttle car is provided, the shuttle car comprising: a car body; a frame disposed on the car body; a cover plate disposed on the car body and located on the same side of the car body as the frame, the cover plate and the frame forming a placement surface for placing items; and a sealing member, at least a portion of which is disposed between the cover plate and the frame for sealing the gap between the cover plate and the frame.

[0007] The shuttle provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a vehicle body, a frame, a cover plate, and a seal. Specifically, the frame and the cover plate are disposed on the vehicle body and are located on the same side of the vehicle body. Optionally, the frame and the cover plate are located on the top of the vehicle body. The frame and the cover plate form a shelf surface for placing items to be transported.

[0008] Understandably, the cover plate is fixed to the frame with screws, and the cover plate and the frame are generally welded parts. After welding, the cover plate and the frame will deform to a certain extent. Therefore, after the shuttle is assembled, there will generally be a certain installation gap between the frame and the cover plate.

[0009] During transportation, if liquid goods on the shelf break or spill, some liquid may drip onto the shelf. Alternatively, when the shuttle travels between multiple environments with large temperature or humidity differences, condensation formed on the surface of the goods may also drip onto the shelf. There is a risk that water or liquid may enter the interior of the vehicle through the installation gap between the cover and the frame, which could lead to short circuits or burnout of electrical components inside the vehicle, causing the shuttle to malfunction and affecting the loading and unloading of goods.

[0010] By installing a seal between the cover plate and the frame, the gap between the cover plate and the frame is sealed, preventing water or liquid dripping onto the shelf from entering the vehicle body through the gap between the cover plate and the frame. This effectively solves the problem of water or liquid dripping onto the shelf due to condensation caused by environmental temperature differences and entering the vehicle body through the assembly gap between the cover plate and the frame when the shuttle is transporting liquid goods. It also protects the electrical components inside the vehicle body, prevents the shuttle from malfunctioning during cargo transportation, ensures the efficiency of cargo handling, improves the safety of the warehousing and logistics system, and expands the application scenarios of the transportation equipment.

[0011] In addition, by installing a seal between the frame and the cover plate to seal the gap formed between the cover plate and the frame, it is beneficial to reduce the welding precision requirements of the parts of the cover plate and the frame, thereby reducing the production cost of the shuttle.

[0012] In some technical solutions, the seal may optionally include a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion, wherein the second sealing portion is connected to the first sealing portion, and the end of the second sealing portion is farther away from the cover plate than the end of the first sealing portion; wherein, along the height direction of the vehicle body, the width of the second sealing portion is greater than the width of the first sealing portion.

[0013] In this technical solution, the sealing element is defined as including a first sealing part and a second sealing part. Specifically, the first sealing part and the second sealing part are connected, and the second sealing part is located away from the end of the cover plate. It is understood that after the shuttle car is assembled, there is a certain degree of deformation after welding with the frame and the cover plate, which generally creates an assembly gap (gap) between the end of the cover plate and the frame.

[0014] Because the width of the second sealing part is greater than that of the first sealing part along the height of the vehicle body, the wider second sealing part is positioned away from the assembly gap between the cover plate and the frame. Thus, the first sealing part serves as the first seal, and the second sealing part as the second seal. In practical applications, the cover plate is approximately 1200mm long, 600mm wide, and 2mm thick, making it highly susceptible to deformation during production. When the contact surface between the cover plate and the frame deforms significantly, the first seal (the first sealing part) is prone to failure, leading to leakage.

[0015] By using a wider second sealing section as a second seal, it can act as a final protective barrier against water entering the gap after the first seal formed by the first sealing section fails. This improves the sealing effect between the cover and the frame, further preventing water or liquid dripping onto the shelf from entering the vehicle body through the gap between the cover and the frame, thus protecting the electrical components inside the vehicle.

[0016] In some technical solutions, the outer wall of the second sealing part is optionally constructed as a spherical surface.

[0017] In this technical solution, since the outer wall of the second sealing part is a spherical surface, that is, the structure of the sealing element is similar to a P-shaped sealing strip, that is, the tail of the sealing element is set as a spherical protrusion (second sealing part), it is possible to further ensure the sealing effect between the cover plate and the frame while reducing the welding precision requirements of the parts of the cover plate and the frame, thereby helping to reduce the production cost of the shuttle.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the frame is provided with a mounting groove, the end of the cover plate is embedded in the mounting groove, the mounting groove includes a first groove wall and a second groove wall connected together, the first groove wall is opposite to the end face of the cover plate located in the mounting groove and forms a gap, the gap communicates with the placement surface, and at least part of the seal is located between the side of the cover plate away from the placement surface and the second groove wall.

[0019] In this technical solution, because the cover plate is relatively thin, it is prone to deformation during the production process, resulting in a gap (installation gap) between the end face of the cover plate and the first groove wall. The gap connects to the placement surface, and the first groove wall and the second groove wall are connected. Optionally, at least a portion of the first groove wall extends along the height direction of the vehicle body, and at least a portion of the second groove wall extends along the horizontal direction.

[0020] At least a portion of the seal is disposed between the side of the cover plate away from the placement surface and the second groove wall, thereby sealing the gap between the cover plate and the frame. This prevents water or liquid dripping onto the placement surface from entering the vehicle body through the gap between the cover plate and the frame. At the same time, it facilitates the installation and removal of the cover plate and the frame compared to placing the seal between the first groove wall and the end face of the cover plate.

[0021] In some technical solutions, the storage surface may optionally include a first storage area and a second storage area, the first storage area and the second storage area are located on the cover plate, and the first storage area is farther away from the frame than the second storage area; wherein, along the height direction of the vehicle body, the height of the first storage area is lower than the height of the second storage area.

[0022] In this technical solution, the storage surface is defined as including a first storage area and a second storage area. Specifically, the first storage area and the second storage area are located on the cover plate. Furthermore, the first storage area is far away from the frame, that is, the first storage area is far away from the gap formed by the frame and the cover plate.

[0023] Along the height of the vehicle body, the height of the first storage area is lower than the height of the second storage area. In other words, the height of the first storage area, which is farther from the gap, is set lower. As a result, when water or liquid drips onto the storage surface, it will flow to the first storage area, that is, to a position away from the gap. This further prevents water or liquid dripping onto the storage surface from entering the interior of the vehicle body through the gap, thus protecting the electrical components inside the vehicle body and preventing the shuttle from malfunctioning during the transportation of goods. This helps to improve the safety of the warehousing and logistics system.

[0024] In some technical solutions, optionally, the frame includes a first frame and a second frame, a cover plate is located between the first frame and the second frame, the first frame, the second frame and the cover plate form a placement surface, a seal is disposed between the first frame and the cover plate, and / or a seal is disposed between the second frame and the cover plate; wherein, the number of second placement areas is two, the two second placement areas are respectively located on both sides of the first placement area, one second placement area is configured to be close to the first frame, and the other second placement area is configured to be close to the second frame.

[0025] In this technical solution, the frame is defined as including a first frame and a second frame. Specifically, the cover plate is located between the first frame and the second frame, that is, the first frame and the second frame are located on opposite sides of the cover plate. Optionally, the first frame and the second frame are located on opposite sides of the width direction of the cover plate. The first frame, the second frame, and the cover plate form a shelf surface for placing items to be transported.

[0026] The seal is located between the first frame and the cover plate, or between the second frame and the cover plate, or there are two seals, one between the first frame and the cover plate and the other between the second frame and the cover plate. The specific arrangement can be determined according to actual needs.

[0027] The two second storage areas are located on either side of the first storage area, meaning the first storage area is located in the middle of the two second storage areas. Since one of the second storage areas is close to the first frame and the other is close to the second frame, and the first storage area is at a lower height (i.e., the cover is lower in the middle and higher on the sides), when water or liquid drips onto the storage surface, it will flow from the sides towards the middle, i.e., flow away from the gaps on the sides. This further prevents water or liquid dripping onto the storage surface from entering the interior of the vehicle body through the gaps on the sides, effectively protecting the electrical components inside the vehicle body.

[0028] In some technical solutions, the cover plate may optionally include a plate body and a water guide edge, wherein, along the moving direction of the vehicle body, the water guide edge is provided at at least one end of the plate body, one end of the water guide edge is connected to the plate body, and the other end of the water guide edge extends obliquely toward the side where the vehicle body is located in a direction away from the plate body.

[0029] In this technical solution, the cover plate is defined as including a plate body and a water guide. Specifically, along the moving direction of the vehicle body, the water guide is provided at least one end of the plate body. Specifically, one end of the water guide is connected to the plate body, and the other end extends in a direction away from the plate body and inclined towards the side where the vehicle body is located. That is to say, the end of the water guide away from the plate body extends downwards, so that during the shuttle car's movement, it can guide the water or liquid accumulated in the middle area of ​​the plate body, allowing the water or liquid to flow out along the water guide, which helps to reduce water accumulation on the plate body, further reduces the risk of water entering the vehicle body, ensures the reliable operation of the shuttle car, improves the efficiency of loading and unloading, and enhances the safety of warehousing and logistics.

[0030] In some technical solutions, the cover plate may optionally include a water-blocking edge, which is located at the end of the water guide away from the plate body. One end of the water-blocking edge is connected to the water guide, and the other end of the water-blocking edge extends away from the vehicle body and forms a discharge channel with the water guide; wherein the water-blocking edge is provided with a discharge outlet, which is connected to the discharge channel.

[0031] In this technical solution, the cover plate is further defined as including a water-blocking edge. Specifically, the water-blocking edge is located at the end of the water guide edge away from the plate body, and one end of the water-blocking edge is connected to the water guide edge, while the other end extends toward the side away from the vehicle body, that is, the end of the water-blocking edge away from the water guide edge extends in the opposite direction.

[0032] The water-retaining edge and the water guide edge form a discharge channel, which is connected to the opening (discharge outlet) on the water-retaining edge. Specifically, when water or liquid drips onto the surface, it flows from both sides towards the middle. During the shuttle's movement, the water or liquid flowing into the middle area flows along the water guide edge into the discharge channel. Due to the obstruction of the water-retaining edge, the water or liquid flowing into the discharge channel can flow along the discharge channel and exit through the discharge outlet. This reduces water accumulation on the platform, further lowers the risk of water entering the vehicle body, ensures reliable shuttle operation, and controls the flow direction of water on the platform. Moreover, by designing the location of the discharge outlet, the location of water droplets can be controlled, which helps protect the electrical components on the main vehicle of the transport equipment and further improves the reliability of the warehousing and logistics system.

[0033] In some technical solutions, the shuttle may optionally include a ranging device and a waterproof cover, wherein the ranging device is located at at least one end of the vehicle body along the direction of movement of the vehicle body, and the waterproof cover is located on the outside of the ranging device. The waterproof cover includes a connected cover body and a baffle, with the baffle located on the side of the cover body facing the object placement surface.

[0034] In this technical solution, the shuttle vehicle is further defined as including a ranging device and a waterproof cover. Specifically, along the direction of movement of the vehicle body, the ranging device is set at at least one end of the vehicle body, that is, the ranging device is set at the front end and / or the rear end of the vehicle body.

[0035] A waterproof cover is installed on the outside of the distance measuring device to waterproof it. Specifically, the waterproof cover includes a cover body and a baffle, with the baffle located on the side of the cover body facing the object placement surface; that is, the baffle is located on the top of the cover body.

[0036] It is understandable that during transportation, when liquid goods on the shelf break or spill, some liquid may drip onto the shelf. Alternatively, when the shuttle travels between multiple environments with large temperature or humidity differences, condensation formed on the surface of the goods may also drip onto the shelf. If the liquid or water on the shelf easily flows onto the ranging device, it may cause the ranging device to falsely trigger a signal, resulting in the shuttle alarming and stopping.

[0037] By installing a baffle on the top of the cover, water or liquid flowing out of the placement surface can be blocked, preventing water or liquid from flowing onto the ranging device. This effectively reduces the risk of false alarms caused by splashing water droplets on the ranging device during shuttle operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of shuttle operation.

[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, the end of the baffle away from the vehicle body extends at an angle toward the side where the cover is located.

[0039] In this technical solution, since the end of the baffle away from the vehicle body extends inclined towards the side where the cover is located, that is, the end of the baffle away from the vehicle body extends downward, the baffle forms a water flow edge, which can guide the water droplets that drip or splash onto the baffle, so that the water droplets can be quickly discharged through the baffle, further preventing the water droplets from flowing onto the ranging device and reducing the risk of false alarms from the ranging device during the operation of the shuttle.

[0040] In some technical solutions, the shuttle may optionally include a cleaning unit located at at least one end of the vehicle body along the direction of movement. The cleaning unit includes a first brush body and a second brush body, the first brush body and the second brush body having different hardness.

[0041] In this technical solution, the shuttle vehicle is further defined as including a cleaning unit. Specifically, the cleaning unit is located at at least one end of the vehicle body along the direction of movement of the vehicle body. Optionally, the direction of movement of the vehicle body is the length direction of the vehicle body. That is, the cleaning unit is located at the front end and / or rear end of the vehicle body.

[0042] Since the cleaning unit includes a first brush body and a second brush body, and the first brush body and the second brush body have different hardnesses, optionally, the hardness of the first brush body is greater than the hardness of the second brush body, or the hardness of the first brush body is less than the hardness of the second brush body. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0043] Optionally, the vehicle body is equipped with multiple wheels, which are arranged at intervals along the direction of movement of the vehicle body. The shuttle car moves on the transport track using these multiple wheels to transport goods. Specifically, a brush with higher hardness (the first brush or the second brush) can be used to clean impurities, debris, and other hard objects on the transport track, while a brush with lower hardness (the second brush or the first brush) can be used to clean water or liquids on the transport track. This reduces the risk of longer braking distances for the shuttle car due to water or liquids and avoids water splashing during high-speed travel.

[0044] In some technical solutions, optionally, the hardness of the first brush body is greater than that of the second brush body, and the first brush body is located outside the second brush body.

[0045] In this technical solution, the hardness of the first brush body is specified to be greater than that of the second brush body, and the first brush body is located outside the second brush body. During the shuttle car's operation, the first brush body located on the outside sweeps away impurities, debris, and other hard objects on the transport track, while the second brush body located on the inside sweeps away water or liquids on the transport track, reducing the risk of a longer shuttle car braking distance due to water or liquids, and avoiding water splashing during the shuttle car's high-speed operation.

[0046] In addition, since the first brush body, which has greater hardness, is located outside the second brush body, it can ensure a cleaning effect on the transport track.

[0047] In some technical solutions, the first brush body may optionally include a wire brush; and / or the second brush body may include a rubber brush.

[0048] In this technical solution, during the shuttle's operation, the outer wire brush cleans away impurities, debris, and other hard objects on the transport track, while the inner rubber brush cleans away water or liquids on the transport track. This reduces the risk of a longer braking distance for the shuttle due to water or liquids and avoids water splashing during high-speed operation.

[0049] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a transportation device is provided, comprising a shuttle as provided in any of the above technical solutions, and thus possessing all the beneficial technical effects of the shuttle, which will not be repeated here.

Detailed Implementation

[0058] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0059] Many specific details are set forth in the following 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.

[0060] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This describes a shuttle 100 and transportation equipment provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0061] In one embodiment according to this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a shuttle 100 is proposed, comprising: a body 110; a frame 120 disposed on the body 110; a cover plate 130 disposed on the body 110 and located on the same side of the body 110 as the frame 120, the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 forming a placement surface 140 for placing items; and a sealing member 150, at least a portion of which is disposed between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 for sealing the gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120.

[0062] The shuttle 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a body 110, a frame 120, a cover plate 130, and a seal 150. Specifically, the frame 120 and the cover plate 130 are disposed on the body 110 and are located on the same side of the body 110. Optionally, the frame 120 and the cover plate 130 are located on the top of the body 110. The frame 120 and the cover plate 130 form a storage surface 140 for placing items to be transported.

[0063] It is understandable that the cover plate 130 is fixed to the frame 120 with screws, and the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 are generally welded parts. After welding, the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 will have a certain degree of deformation. Therefore, after the shuttle car 100 is assembled, there will generally be a certain installation gap between the frame 120 and the cover plate 130.

[0064] During transportation, if liquid goods on the storage surface 140 break or spill, some liquid may drip onto the storage surface 140. Alternatively, when the shuttle 100 travels between multiple environments with large temperature or humidity differences, condensation formed on the surface of the goods may also drip onto the storage surface 140. There is a risk that water or liquid may enter the interior of the vehicle body 110 through the installation gap formed between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120, which may lead to short circuits or burnout of electrical components inside the vehicle body 110, causing the shuttle 100 to malfunction and affecting the loading and unloading of goods.

[0065] By setting a seal 150 between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120, the gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 is sealed, preventing water or liquid dripping onto the storage surface 140 from entering the interior of the vehicle body 110 through the gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120. This effectively solves the problem that when the shuttle 100 is transporting liquid goods, or when condensation occurs due to environmental temperature differences, water or liquid dripping onto the storage surface 140 may enter the interior of the vehicle body 110 through the assembly gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120. This also protects the electrical components inside the vehicle body 110, prevents the shuttle 100 from malfunctioning during cargo transportation, ensures the efficiency of cargo entry and exit, improves the safety of the warehousing and logistics system, and expands the application scenarios of the transportation equipment.

[0066] Furthermore, since a seal 150 is provided between the frame 120 and the cover plate 130 to seal the gap formed between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120, it is beneficial to reduce the welding precision requirements of the parts of the cover plate 130 and the frame 120, thereby reducing the production cost of the shuttle 100.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the seal 150 includes a first sealing portion 151 and a second sealing portion 152, wherein the second sealing portion 152 is connected to the first sealing portion 151, and the end of the second sealing portion 152 that is farther away from the cover plate 130 from the first sealing portion 151; wherein, along the height direction of the vehicle body 110, the width of the second sealing portion 152 is greater than the width of the first sealing portion 151.

[0068] In this embodiment, the seal 150 is defined to include a first sealing portion 151 and a second sealing portion 152. Specifically, the first sealing portion 151 and the second sealing portion 152 are connected, and the second sealing portion 152 is located away from the end of the cover plate 130. It is understood that after the shuttle 100 is assembled, there is a certain degree of deformation between the frame 120 and the cover plate 130 after welding, which generally creates an assembly gap (gap 126) between the end of the cover plate 130 and the frame 120.

[0069] Because the width of the second sealing part 152 is greater than the width of the first sealing part 151 along the height direction of the vehicle body 110, the wider second sealing part 152 is positioned away from the assembly gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120. Thus, the first sealing part 151 serves as the first seal, and the second sealing part 152 serves as the second seal. In practical applications, the cover plate 130 is approximately 1200mm long, 600mm wide, and 2mm thick, making it highly susceptible to deformation during production. When the contact surface between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 deforms significantly, the first seal (first sealing part 151) is prone to failure, leading to water leakage.

[0070] By using the wider second sealing part 152 as a second seal, it can act as a final protective barrier against water entering the gap after the first seal formed by the first sealing part 151 fails, thereby improving the sealing effect between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 and further preventing water or liquid dripping onto the placement surface 140 from entering the interior of the vehicle body 110 through the gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120, thus protecting the electrical components inside the vehicle body 110.

[0071] Optionally, the first sealing part 151 and the second sealing part 152 are an integral structure.

[0072] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the second sealing portion 152 is optionally configured as a spherical surface.

[0073] In this embodiment, since the outer wall of the second sealing part 152 is a spherical surface, that is, the structure of the sealing member 150 is similar to a P-shaped sealing strip, that is, the tail of the sealing member 150 is set as a spherical protrusion (second sealing part 152), it is possible to further ensure the sealing effect between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120 while reducing the welding precision requirements of the parts of the cover plate 130 and the frame 120, thereby helping to reduce the production cost of the shuttle car 100.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the frame 120 is provided with a mounting groove 121, and the end of the cover plate 130 is embedded in the mounting groove 121. The mounting groove 121 includes a first groove wall 122 and a second groove wall 123 connected to each other. The first groove wall 122 is opposite to the end face 131 of the cover plate 130 located in the mounting groove 121 and forms a gap 126. The gap 126 communicates with the placement surface 140. At least a portion of the seal 150 is located between the side of the cover plate 130 away from the placement surface 140 and the second groove wall 123.

[0075] In this embodiment, because the cover plate 130 is relatively thin, it is prone to deformation during the manufacturing process, resulting in a gap 126 (installation gap) between the end face 131 of the cover plate 130 and the first groove wall 122. The gap 126 connects to the placement surface 140, and the first groove wall 122 and the second groove wall 123 are connected. Optionally, at least a portion of the first groove wall 122 extends along the height direction of the vehicle body 110, and at least a portion of the second groove wall 123 extends along the horizontal direction.

[0076] At least a portion of the seal 150 is disposed between the side of the cover plate 130 facing away from the placement surface 140 and the second groove wall 123, thereby sealing the gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120. This prevents water or liquid dripping onto the placement surface 140 from entering the vehicle body 110 through the gap between the cover plate 130 and the frame 120. At the same time, compared to disposing the seal 150 between the first groove wall 122 and the end face 131 of the cover plate 130, it facilitates the installation and removal of the cover plate 130 and the frame 120.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the storage surface 140 includes a first storage area 141 and a second storage area 142, the first storage area 141 and the second storage area 142 are located on the cover plate 130, and the first storage area 141 is farther away from the frame 120 than the second storage area 142; wherein, along the height direction of the vehicle body 110, the height of the first storage area 141 is lower than the height of the second storage area 142.

[0078] In this embodiment, the storage surface 140 is defined as including a first storage area 141 and a second storage area 142. Specifically, the first storage area 141 and the second storage area 142 are respectively located on the cover plate 130. The first storage area 141 is away from the frame 120, that is, the first storage area 141 is away from the gap 126 formed by the frame 120 and the cover plate 130.

[0079] Along the height direction of the vehicle body 110, the height of the first storage area 141 is lower than the height of the second storage area 142. That is to say, the height of the first storage area 141, which is far away from the gap 126, is set lower. So when water or liquid drips onto the storage surface 140, the water or liquid will flow to the first storage area 141, that is, flow to a position far away from the gap 126. This further prevents water or liquid dripping onto the storage surface 140 from entering the interior of the vehicle body 110 through the gap 126, thus protecting the electrical components inside the vehicle body 110 and preventing the shuttle 100 from malfunctioning during the transportation of goods. This is beneficial to improving the safety of the warehousing and logistics system.

[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the frame 120 includes a first frame 124 and a second frame 125, a cover plate 130 is located between the first frame 124 and the second frame 125, the first frame 124, the second frame 125 and the cover plate 130 form a storage surface 140, a seal 150 is disposed between the first frame 124 and the cover plate 130, and / or the seal 150 is disposed between the second frame 125 and the cover plate 130; wherein, the number of second storage areas 142 is two, the two second storage areas 142 are respectively located on both sides of the first storage area 141, one second storage area 142 is configured to be close to the first frame 124, and the other second storage area 142 is configured to be close to the second frame 125.

[0081] In this embodiment, the frame 120 is defined as including a first frame 124 and a second frame 125. Specifically, the cover plate 130 is located between the first frame 124 and the second frame 125, that is, the first frame 124 and the second frame 125 are located on opposite sides of the cover plate 130. Optionally, the first frame 124 and the second frame 125 are located on opposite sides of the width direction of the cover plate 130. The first frame 124, the second frame 125 and the cover plate 130 form a placement surface 140 for placing items to be transported.

[0082] The seal 150 is disposed between the first frame 124 and the cover plate 130, or the seal 150 is disposed between the second frame 125 and the cover plate 130, or there are two seals 150, one of which is disposed between the first frame 124 and the cover plate 130, and the other is disposed between the second frame 125 and the cover plate 130. The specific arrangement can be determined according to actual needs.

[0083] The two second storage areas 142 are located on both sides of the first storage area 141. That is, the first storage area 141 is located in the middle of the two second storage areas 142. Since one of the second storage areas 142 is close to the first frame 124 and the other second storage area 142 is close to the second frame 125, and the first storage area 141 is at a lower height, that is, the cover plate 130 is formed with the middle being lower and the sides being higher, when water or liquid drips onto the storage surface 140, the water or liquid will flow from the sides to the middle, that is, flow away from the side gaps 126. This further prevents water or liquid dripping onto the storage surface 140 from entering the interior of the vehicle body 110 through the side gaps 126, thus effectively protecting the electrical components inside the vehicle body 110.

[0084] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cover plate 130 includes a plate body 132 and a water guide 133, wherein, along the moving direction of the vehicle body 110, the water guide 133 is disposed at at least one end of the plate body 132, one end of the water guide 133 is connected to the plate body 132, and the other end of the water guide 133 extends obliquely toward the side where the vehicle body 110 is located in a direction away from the plate body 132.

[0085] In this embodiment, the cover plate 130 is defined as including a plate body 132 and a water guide 133. Specifically, along the moving direction of the vehicle body 110, the water guide 133 is disposed at at least one end of the plate body 132. Specifically, one end of the water guide 133 is connected to the plate body 132, and the other end extends in a direction away from the plate body 132 and inclined towards the side where the vehicle body 110 is located. That is, the end of the water guide 133 away from the plate body 132 extends downwards, so that during the travel of the shuttle 100, it can guide the water or liquid accumulated in the middle area of ​​the plate body 132, so that the water or liquid can flow out along the water guide 133, which helps to reduce the water accumulation on the plate body 132, further reduces the risk of water entering the vehicle body 110, ensures the reliable operation of the shuttle 100, improves the efficiency of loading and unloading, and enhances the safety of warehousing and logistics.

[0086] Optionally, at least one end of the cover plate 130 is bent to form at least one water guide along 133.

[0087] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cover plate 130 further includes a water-blocking edge 134, which is located at the end of the water guide 133 away from the plate body 132. One end of the water-blocking edge 134 is connected to the water guide 133, and the other end of the water-blocking edge 134 extends away from the side of the vehicle body 110 and forms a discharge channel 135 with the water guide 133. The water-blocking edge 134 is provided with a discharge outlet 136, which is connected to the discharge channel 135.

[0088] In this embodiment, the cover plate 130 is further defined as including a water-blocking edge 134. Specifically, the water-blocking edge 134 is disposed at the end of the water guide 133 away from the plate body 132, and one end of the water-blocking edge 134 is connected to the water guide 133, while the other end extends toward the side away from the vehicle body 110, that is, the end of the water-blocking edge 134 away from the water guide 133 extends in the opposite direction.

[0089] The water-blocking edge 134 and the water-guiding edge 133 form a discharge channel 135, which is connected to the opening (discharge outlet 136) on the water-blocking edge 134. Specifically, when water or liquid drips onto the storage surface 140, it flows from both sides towards the middle. During the movement of the shuttle 100, the water or liquid flowing into the middle area flows along the water-guiding edge 133 into the discharge channel 135. Due to the blocking effect of the water-blocking edge 134, the water or liquid flowing into the discharge channel 135 can flow along the discharge channel 135 and exit through the discharge outlet 136. This reduces water accumulation on the plate 132, further reducing the risk of water entering the interior of the vehicle body 110, ensuring the reliable operation of the shuttle 100, and controlling the flow direction of water on the plate 132. Moreover, by designing the position of the discharge outlet 136, the location of the water drop can be controlled, which helps protect the electrical components on the mother car of the transport equipment and further improves the reliability of the warehousing and logistics system.

[0090] Optionally, a portion of the water guide along 133 is bent to form a water-blocking edge 134.

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the shuttle 100 may optionally include a ranging device and a waterproof cover 170, wherein the ranging device is located at at least one end of the vehicle body 110 along the direction of movement of the vehicle body 110, and the waterproof cover 170 is provided on the outside of the ranging device. The waterproof cover 170 includes a connected cover body 171 and a baffle 172, with the baffle 172 located on the side of the cover body 171 facing the placement surface 140.

[0092] In this embodiment, the shuttle 100 is further defined as including a ranging device and a waterproof cover 170. Specifically, along the direction of movement of the vehicle body 110, the ranging device is disposed at at least one end of the vehicle body 110, that is, the ranging device is disposed at the front end and / or the rear end of the vehicle body 110.

[0093] A waterproof cover 170 is installed on the outside of the ranging device to waterproof it. Specifically, the waterproof cover 170 includes a cover body 171 and a baffle 172. The baffle 172 is located on the side of the cover body 171 facing the placement surface 140, that is, the baffle 172 is located on the top of the cover body 171.

[0094] It is understandable that during transportation, if liquid goods on the storage surface 140 break or spill, causing some liquid to drip onto the storage surface 140, or if the shuttle 100 travels through multiple environments with large temperature or humidity differences, condensation formed on the surface of the goods may also drip onto the storage surface 140. If the liquid or water on the storage surface 140 easily flows onto the ranging device, it may cause the ranging device to falsely trigger a signal, resulting in the shuttle 100 alarming and shutting down.

[0095] By setting a baffle 172 on the top of the cover 171, water or liquid flowing out of the placement surface 140 can be blocked, preventing water or liquid from flowing onto the ranging device. This can effectively reduce the risk of water droplets splashing and causing false alarms to the ranging device when the shuttle 100 is running, and ensure the stability and reliability of the shuttle 100.

[0096] Optionally, the ranging device includes a laser ranging sensor.

[0097] In some embodiments, the end of the baffle 172 away from the vehicle body 110 extends obliquely toward the side where the cover 171 is located.

[0098] In this embodiment, since the end of the baffle 172 away from the vehicle body 110 extends inclined toward the side where the cover 171 is located, that is, the end of the baffle 172 away from the vehicle body 110 extends downward, the baffle 172 is formed as a water flow edge, thereby guiding the water droplets that drip or splash onto the baffle 172, so that the water droplets are quickly discharged through the baffle 172, further preventing the water droplets from flowing onto the ranging device, and reducing the risk of false alarms from the ranging device during the operation of the shuttle 100.

[0099] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the shuttle 100 may optionally include a cleaning section 180. Along the moving direction of the vehicle body 110, the cleaning section 180 is disposed at at least one end of the vehicle body 110. The cleaning section 180 includes a first brush body 181 and a second brush body 182, and the first brush body 181 and the second brush body 182 have different hardness.

[0100] In this embodiment, the shuttle 100 further includes a cleaning unit 180. Specifically, the cleaning unit 180 is disposed at at least one end of the vehicle body 110 along the direction of movement of the vehicle body 110. Optionally, the direction of movement of the vehicle body 110 is the length direction of the vehicle body 110. That is, the cleaning unit 180 is disposed at the front end and / or rear end of the vehicle body 110.

[0101] Since the cleaning unit 180 includes a first brush body 181 and a second brush body 182, and the first brush body 181 and the second brush body 182 have different hardnesses, optionally, the hardness of the first brush body 181 is greater than the hardness of the second brush body 182, or the hardness of the first brush body 181 is less than the hardness of the second brush body 182. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0102] Optionally, the vehicle body 110 is equipped with multiple wheels, which are arranged at intervals along the direction of movement of the vehicle body 110. The shuttle 100 moves on the transport track by means of these multiple wheels to transport goods. Specifically, a brush with higher hardness (first brush 181 or second brush 182) can be used to clean impurities, debris, and other hard objects on the transport track. At the same time, a brush with lower hardness (second brush 182 or first brush 181) can be used to clean water or liquids on the transport track, reducing the risk of a longer braking distance for the shuttle 100 due to water or liquids, and avoiding water splashing during high-speed travel of the shuttle 100.

[0103] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the hardness of the first brush body 181 is greater than the hardness of the second brush body 182, and the first brush body 181 is located outside the second brush body 182.

[0104] In this embodiment, the hardness of the first brush body 181 is defined to be greater than that of the second brush body 182, and the first brush body 181 is located outside the second brush body 182. During the operation of the shuttle 100, the first brush body 181 located on the outside cleans up impurities, debris and other hard objects on the transport track, while the second brush body 182 located on the inside cleans up water or liquid on the transport track, reducing the risk of a large braking distance of the shuttle 100 due to water or liquid, and avoiding water splashing during the high-speed operation of the shuttle 100.

[0105] In addition, since the first brush body 181, which has greater hardness, is located outside the second brush body 182, the cleaning effect on the transport track can be ensured.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first brush body 181 may optionally include a wire brush; and / or the second brush body 182 may include a rubber brush.

[0107] In this embodiment, specifically, during the operation of the shuttle 100, the outer wire brush cleans away impurities, debris, and other hard objects on the transport track, while the inner rubber brush cleans away water or liquids on the transport track, reducing the risk of a longer braking distance for the shuttle 100 due to water or liquids, and avoiding water splashing during high-speed operation of the shuttle 100.

[0108] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 1The figure shows a front view of the shuttle 100 from both the front and rear directions. As can be seen in the figure, the middle area (first storage area 141) of the lifting cover (cover 130) is lower than the two side areas (second storage area 142). Water flows from the two sides to the middle. The P-shaped sealing strip (sealant 150) is placed between the lifting frame (frame 120) and the lifting cover (cover 130) to play a sealing role. The lifting cover (cover 130) and the lifting frame (frame 120) are connected and pressed together by countersunk screws.

[0109] The lifting cover plate (cover plate 130) is approximately 1200mm long, 600mm wide, and 2mm thick. It is highly susceptible to deformation during production. When the contact surfaces of the two parts deform, the front section (first sealing part 151) of the P-shaped sealing strip (sealant 150) is prone to sealing failure, resulting in water leakage. The tail of the P-shaped sealing strip (sealant 150) features a unique spherical protrusion (second sealing part 152), which acts as a final protective barrier against water entering the gap 126 after the front section of the P-shaped sealing strip (sealant 150) fails to seal. This also reduces the welding precision requirements for the lifting cover plate (cover plate 130) and the lifting frame (frame 120), resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, in another specific embodiment, optionally, the upper part of the shuttle 100 body 110 is composed of two large parts: a welded lifting frame (frame 120) and a welded lifting cover (cover 130). The first storage area 141 of the lifting cover is lower than the second storage area 142. When water droplets fall on the body 110, the water will flow to the first storage area 141.

[0111] The water guide 133 is lower than the first storage area 141 and the second storage area 142 on the same plane. When the vehicle body 110 moves back and forth, the water accumulated in the first storage area 141 will flow to the water guide 133 at the front and rear of the vehicle body 110. The water blocking edge 134 is designed as a reverse folded edge. The water flowing through the water blocking edge 134 will be blocked and overflow along the opening (outlet 136). In this way, when there is dripping water on the shuttle car 100, the direction of water flow and the position of water drop can be controlled, thereby reducing water accumulation and preventing the risk of water entering the shuttle car 100.

[0112] like Figure 3 As shown, in another specific embodiment, optionally, water brushes (second brush bodies 182) are installed at both the front and rear of the shuttle 100. The front end of the water brush (second brush body 182) is equipped with a wire brush (first brush body 181). The water brush (second brush body 182) can sweep away water droplets splashed on the track of the shuttle 100 in the tunnel, reducing the risk of increased braking distance of the shuttle due to water.

[0113] A protective cover (waterproof cover 170) has been added above the laser rangefinder (range measuring device) at the front and rear of the vehicle body 110, which can effectively solve the risk of false alarms caused by splashing water droplets to the laser rangefinder (range measuring device) when the vehicle body 110 is running.

[0114] By sealing the upper lifting cover plate (cover plate 130) and lifting frame (frame 120) of the vehicle body 110, waterproofing the relevant sensors, and designing the wheel track water brush (second brush body 182), the problem of water dripping caused by water droplets or condensation due to environmental temperature differences can be effectively solved when the shuttle car 100 is transporting goods with dripping water. This can provide good protection for the electrical components inside the shuttle car 100 and expand the application scenarios of the equipment.

[0115] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a transportation device is provided, including a shuttle 100 as provided in any of the above embodiments, and thus possessing all the beneficial technical effects of the shuttle 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0116] Optionally, the transport equipment also includes a mother car, on which the shuttle 100 can be picked up and put away. Specifically, when the shuttle 100 is placed on the mother car, the mother car can move the shuttle 100 to transport goods. The shuttle 100 can also be detached from the mother car and move independently to transport goods. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs.
