Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated three-dimensional warehousing technology, specifically to a turntable switch device and a circular shuttle system. Background Technology

[0002] In automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS), circular shuttle systems are typically used to distribute materials across multiple channels. The shuttles can connect to different conveyor platforms to complete the transfer of goods. Traditional circular shuttle systems are usually closed loops, where the shuttles can only circulate along a fixed route in a fixed direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). With the widespread application of large-scale AS / RS, conventional closed circular shuttles can no longer meet the requirements for transfer efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a turnout device that can realize track switching. Utility Model Content

[0006] Base frame mechanism;

[0007] A turntable mechanism is provided on one side of the base frame mechanism along a first direction; a rolling assembly is installed around the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism in the first direction, and the turntable mechanism rotates relative to the base frame mechanism through the rolling assembly; a movable track group is provided on the side of the turntable mechanism opposite to the base frame mechanism in the first direction, and the movable track group is used to dock with a fixed track group in a circular shuttle system; the movable track group includes at least two movable tracks arranged side by side;

[0008] A drive mechanism is connected to the turntable mechanism and is used to drive the turntable mechanism to move relative to the base frame mechanism.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the base frame mechanism includes a welded base frame and a base plate formed by welding tubing. The base plate is mounted on one side of the welded base frame in the first direction and is disposed along the edge of the welded base frame. The rolling assembly is operable on the base plate.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the base frame mechanism further includes an adjustment component connected to the welding base frame for adjusting the position of the welding base frame along the first direction.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the adjustment assembly includes a plurality of foot cups; the welding base is provided with a fixing part around the outer periphery of the first direction, and one end of the foot cup in the first direction is connected to the fixing part.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the welding base frame is provided with a slewing bearing, the axis of which is parallel to the first direction, and the turntable mechanism is rotatably connected to the base frame mechanism through the slewing bearing.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the drive mechanism includes a geared motor and a transmission assembly. The geared motor is connected to the turntable mechanism via the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a gear and a rack. The gear follows the output end of the geared motor. The rack is mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable mechanism and meshes with the gear.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the turntable mechanism is provided with at least two sets of the movable track groups, and the fixed tracks in different fixed track groups are used to dock with the fixed tracks in different fixed track groups.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, the turntable mechanism is provided with a linear movable track group and an arc-shaped movable track group, wherein:

[0016] The linear movable track group includes two linear movable tracks spaced apart, and the arc-shaped movable track group includes two arc-shaped movable tracks spaced apart, with one of the arc-shaped movable tracks located between the two linear movable tracks.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a circular shuttle system, including a fixed track group and a turntable switch device as provided in any of the above technical solutions; the fixed track group is used to dock with a movable track group in at least one of the turntable switch devices; the fixed track group includes two fixed tracks arranged side by side.

[0018] In one embodiment of this application, the circular shuttle system includes at least two sets of fixed track groups, one set of fixed track groups is used to dock with the linear movable track group in the circular shuttle system, and the other set of fixed track groups is used to dock with the arc-shaped movable track group in the circular shuttle system.

[0019] In one embodiment of this application, the circular shuttle system further includes a support mechanism, which includes a base, a support, and an adjusting nut. The support is installed on one side of the base in the first direction, and the position of the support relative to the base in the first direction is adjustable by the adjusting nut.

Along a direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the extension direction of the fixed rail, the support plate extends beyond both sides of the fixed rail, and the portion of the support plate extending beyond the fixed rail has a chamfer for overlapping the movable rail in the turntable switch device.

[0020] One embodiment of this application described above has at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0021] It should be noted that in the turntable switch device provided in this application, the drive mechanism can drive the turntable mechanism to rotate relative to the base frame mechanism, thereby changing the position of the movable track group installed on the turntable mechanism, causing it to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the rotation center, so that the movable track group can connect with different fixed track groups. Accordingly, this turntable switch device can guide a shuttle car to quickly switch from one fixed track group to another, and can also realize the switching of the shuttle car between different fixed track groups, enabling flexible scheduling of the shuttle car, improving the transportation efficiency of the circular shuttle car system, and reducing the implementation cost of automated three-dimensional warehousing.

[0022] Furthermore, the turntable turnout device provided in this application has a rolling assembly installed on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism surrounding the first direction. The turntable mechanism can rotate relative to the base frame mechanism via this rolling assembly. The rolling assembly supports the turntable mechanism and can form a frame-like structure to effectively resist the radial and tangential forces experienced by the turntable mechanism during rotation, making the entire turntable mechanism more robust. Simultaneously, when the rolling assembly is installed on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism, the center of gravity of the turntable mechanism is relatively dispersed, resulting in higher stability of the entire turntable turnout device when a shuttle car passes over the turntable mechanism.

[0023] Furthermore, since the rolling assembly is located on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism, its installation and maintenance are more convenient. The specific height of the rolling assembly in the first direction is adjustable, which can avoid the defect that the rolling assembly cannot effectively contact the base frame mechanism and becomes suspended.

[0034] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0035] This application provides a rotary turnout device. This rotary turnout device can be applied to a circular shuttle system, allowing the shuttle to travel on different fixed tracks via the rotary turnout device.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the turntable turnout device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes: a base frame mechanism 110, a turntable mechanism 120, and a drive mechanism 130. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a turntable mechanism 120 is disposed on one side of the base frame mechanism 110 along a first direction; a rolling assembly 121 is mounted around the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120 in the first direction, and the turntable mechanism 120 rotates relative to the base frame mechanism 110 via the rolling assembly 121; a movable track group 122 is provided on the side of the turntable mechanism 120 facing away from the base frame mechanism 110 in the first direction, and the movable track group 122 is used to dock with the fixed track group 200 in the circular shuttle system; the movable track group 122 includes at least two movable tracks 1221 arranged side by side. It should be understood that the movable tracks 1221 in the movable track group 122 provide support and guidance for the shuttle. A drive mechanism 130 is connected to the turntable mechanism 120 and is used to drive the turntable mechanism 120 to move relative to the base frame mechanism 110.

[0037] When the turntable switch device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application is applied, the drive mechanism 130 can drive the turntable mechanism 120 to rotate relative to the base frame mechanism 110, thereby changing the position of the movable track group 122 installed on the turntable mechanism 120, so that it rotates around the rotation center in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, so that the movable track group 122 can be connected with different fixed track groups 200.

[0038] It can be understood that each movable track group 122 needs to be connected to two fixed track groups 200 to guide the shuttle to quickly switch from one fixed track group 200 to another. Specifically, along the extension direction of the movable track 1221, one end of the movable track 1221 is used to connect to a fixed track 210 within one fixed track group 200, and the other end of the movable track 1221 is used to connect to a fixed track 210 within another fixed track group 200.

[0039] When the turntable mechanism 120 rotates relative to the chassis mechanism, for the same movable track group 122, it can be configured such that each end of the movable track 1221 within the movable track group 122 is connected to a different fixed track group 200 than the fixed track group 200 connected before rotation. Alternatively, when the surface of the turntable mechanism 120 is provided with multiple sets of movable track groups 122, it can be configured such that different movable track groups 122 are connected to fixed track groups 200. In this case, at least one of the two sets of fixed track groups 200 connected to the different movable track groups 122 before and after rotation is different.

[0040] It should be noted that the turntable switch device 100 provided in this application embodiment can guide the shuttle car to quickly switch from one fixed track group 200 to another fixed track group 200. Moreover, it can also realize the switching of the shuttle car between different fixed track groups 200, realize the flexible scheduling of the shuttle car, improve the transportation efficiency of the circular shuttle car system, and reduce the implementation cost of automated three-dimensional warehousing.

[0041] Furthermore, the turntable switch device 100 provided in this application embodiment has a rolling assembly 121 installed on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120 surrounding the first direction. The turntable mechanism 120 can rotate relative to the base frame mechanism 110 via the rolling assembly 121. The rolling assembly 121 supports the turntable mechanism 120 and can form a frame-like structure to effectively resist the radial and tangential forces experienced by the turntable mechanism 120 during rotation, making the entire turntable mechanism 120 more robust. Simultaneously, when the rolling assembly 121 is installed on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120, the center of gravity of the turntable mechanism 120 is relatively dispersed, resulting in higher stability of the entire turntable switch device 100 when a shuttle car passes over the turntable mechanism 120.

[0042] Furthermore, since the rolling assembly 121 is located on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120, the installation and maintenance of the rolling assembly 121 are more convenient. The specific height of the rolling assembly 121 in the first direction is adjustable, which can avoid the defect that the rolling assembly 121 cannot effectively contact the base frame mechanism 110 and is suspended.

[0043] If the turntable mechanism 120 is fitted with a rolling assembly 121 at its bottom facing the base frame mechanism 110, the rigidity of the turntable mechanism 120 mainly depends on its own structure and the connection between its bottom and the rolling assembly 121. This structure may be more prone to deformation when subjected to a large load as the shuttle passes by.

[0044] For example, the rolling assembly 121 may include a plurality of rollers, which are spaced apart along the outer peripheral wall of the turntable mechanism 120. It should be understood that the spacing between the rollers can be set as needed; for example, the rollers may be evenly spaced along the outer peripheral wall of the turntable mechanism 120.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base frame mechanism 110 includes a welded base frame 111 formed by welding pipes and a base plate 112. The base plate 112 is mounted on one side of the welded base frame 111 in a first direction and is disposed along the edge of the welded base frame 111. The rolling assembly 121 is capable of moving on the base plate 112.

[0046] It is worth noting that the welded base frame 111 in this embodiment is formed by splicing and welding multiple pipes, and for example, the pipes can be steel pipes; the plate structure is formed by splicing and welding multiple sheet-like plates, and for example, the plates can be steel plates. Therefore, compared to the plate structure, the welded base frame 111 formed by splicing and welding multiple pipes has fewer welds, less deformation, and better overall rigidity. The plate structure, on the other hand, has more welds and is more prone to deformation.

[0047] In summary, the turntable turnout device 100 provided in this application adopts a welded base frame 111, whose structural strength is significantly superior to that of a plate structure. Specifically, the welded base frame 111 forms a strong and stable frame by firmly welding multiple pipes together. This structure can effectively distribute and withstand various stresses generated during heavy-load transportation, ensuring that the device maintains stable performance during long-term operation.

[0048] In contrast, sheet metal structures have significant shortcomings in heavy-duty transport scenarios. Shuttles generate substantial loads during operation, and sheet metal structures, due to limitations in their materials and connection methods, are prone to deformation under these loads. Deformation can trigger a series of problems, such as turntable jamming and track misalignment. These issues not only affect the normal operation of the shuttle but may also lead to system failures, increasing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0049] It should be noted that the turntable turnout device 100 provided in this embodiment adopts a welded base frame 111. Through its robust structural design, it provides stable support for the turntable mechanism 120, ensuring precise docking and smooth operation even under heavy loads. This design not only improves the reliability and durability of the system but also reduces the risk of failure due to structural deformation, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency and stability of the circular shuttle system.

[0050] In addition, the base plate 112 can be assembled and heat-treated to enhance surface hardness, so as to prevent the rolling assembly 121 from repeatedly rolling the base plate 112 and causing pits, which would lead to an increase in the gap between the rolling assembly 121 and the base plate 112, and cause the movable track assembly 122 on the turntable mechanism 120 to settle and bounce.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base frame mechanism 110 also includes an adjustment component 113, which is connected to the welded base frame 111 and is used to adjust the position of the welded base frame 111 along the first direction so that the turntable switch device 100 can better adapt to different installation environments, working scenarios or assembly requirements.

[0052] Moreover, when the turntable switch device 100 experiences positional deviation or requires positional optimization during use, this adjustable design allows maintenance personnel to quickly and easily adjust the welded base frame 111 without having to disassemble or replace the entire base frame mechanism 110, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0053] For example, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The structure shown includes an adjustment assembly 113 comprising multiple leveling feet. These leveling feet are spaced apart circumferentially along the base frame 110. It should be understood that the leveling feet can be fixed to the ground by expansion bolts, allowing the height of the base frame 110 to be adjusted by adjusting the nuts on the leveling feet, thus achieving a level position.

[0054] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 The structure shown has a welding base 111 with a fixing part 1111 around the outer periphery of the first direction, and one end of the foot cup in the first direction is connected to the fixing part 1111. Figure 3 The fixing part 1111 is exemplarily shown in the form of a connecting plate. The fixing part 1111 and the welding base frame 111 can be connected by welding or other means, or the fixing part 1111 and the welding base frame 111 can be an integral structure made by stamping or other means. The specific details will not be elaborated further.

[0055] It should be noted that the fixing part 1111 around the outer periphery of the welded base 111 can provide better torsional support for the feet. Moreover, by connecting the feet to the fixing part 1111 around the outer periphery of the welded base 111, the height and position of the feet can be adjusted more conveniently during installation and use.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 The structure shown includes a welded base frame 111 equipped with a slewing bearing 114. The axis of the slewing bearing 114 is parallel to the first direction. The turntable mechanism 120 is rotatably connected to the base frame mechanism 110 via the slewing bearing 114. This is an example. Figure 3 As shown, a rotary bearing 114 is installed in the middle of the welding base 111. The rotary bearing 114 is the connecting component between the welding base 111 and the turntable mechanism 120.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 2As shown, the drive mechanism 130 includes a geared motor 131, which is connected to the turntable mechanism 120 via a transmission assembly 132. The transmission assembly 132 includes a gear 1321 and a rack 1322. The gear 1321 follows the output end of the geared motor 131. The rack 1322 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable mechanism 120 and meshes with the gear 1321. The geared motor 131 in the drive mechanism 130 drives the turntable mechanism 120 to rotate.

[0058] It should be understood that, such as Figure 4 As shown, the meshing surfaces of gear 1321 and rack 1322 are located on the outer circumferential surface of turntable mechanism 120. This structural arrangement is not affected by the weight of the shuttle when it passes by, which can improve the transmission stability of transmission component 132 and extend its service life.

[0059] In addition, it is worth noting that the motor in the drive mechanism 130 is not limited to the geared motor 131, and can be set to other motors as needed, which will not be elaborated further.

[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 As shown in the structure, the turntable mechanism 120 is provided with at least two sets of movable track groups 122, and the fixed track 210 in different fixed track groups 200 is used to dock with the fixed track 210 in different fixed track groups 200.

[0061] It is understandable that the fixed tracks 210 within different fixed track groups 200 can have the same or different patterns. The fixed tracks 210 can be straight or curved, and further details will not be elaborated upon.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the turntable mechanism 120 is provided with a linear movable track group 122 and an arc movable track group 122, wherein: the linear movable track group 122 includes two linear movable tracks 1221 spaced apart, the arc movable track group 122 includes two arc movable tracks 1221 spaced apart, and one arc movable track 1221 is located between the two linear movable tracks 1221.

[0063] Understandably, by rotating the turntable mechanism 120, the shuttle can enter different fixed track groups 200 via the straight movable track group 122 or the arc movable track group 122, so as to realize the flexible scheduling of the shuttle, improve the conveying efficiency of the circular shuttle system, and reduce the implementation cost of automated three-dimensional warehousing.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the circular shuttle system includes a straight fixed track group 200a, a straight fixed track group 200b, and an arc-shaped fixed track group 200c. The turntable switch device 100 is arranged between the straight fixed track group 200a, the straight fixed track group 200b, and the arc-shaped fixed track group 200c to guide the shuttle car from the straight fixed track group 200a to another straight fixed track group 200b or the arc-shaped fixed track group 200c.

[0065] It is worth noting that the straight fixed track group 200a, the straight fixed track group 200b and the turntable switch device 100 can form a shuttle car straight-going mode; the straight fixed track group 200a, the arc fixed track group 200c and the turntable switch device 100 can form a shuttle car turning mode.

[0066] like Figure 6 The diagram shows the shuttle train in straight-line mode. The turntable switch device 100 is in a straight-track docking state. At this time, the straight movable track 1221a on the turntable switch device 100 docks with the external fixed tracks 210a and 210b, allowing the shuttle train to pass through the turntable switch device 100 in a straight line. Figure 7 As shown in the shuttle turning mode, the turntable switch device 100 is in the turning track docking state. At this time, the arc-shaped movable track 1221b on the turntable switch device 100 docks with the external fixed track 210a and fixed track 210c, and the shuttle passes through the turntable switch device 100 along the arc.

[0067] For example, a user manual for mode switching of a turntable switch device 100 is provided. Specifically, when the program control flow requires switching to turning mode, the shuttle car triggers a turntable switching signal when it approaches the turntable switch device 100. The drive mechanism 130 drives the turntable mechanism 120 to rotate a certain angle. Rotation stops after the photoelectric sensor detects the turntable's position. At this point, the mode is as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the shuttle turning mode, after the shuttle passes through the turntable switch device 100, its traveling direction rotates by 90 degrees and switches to another fixed track group 200.

[0068] It should be understood that Figure 6 and Figure 7 The views shown are for illustrative purposes only and are not the only form of the technical solution described. All similar substitutions of structural form based on this solution are within the protection scope of this technical solution.

[0069] This application also provides a circular shuttle system. The circular shuttle system includes a fixed track group 200 and a turntable switch device 100 as provided in any of the above technical solutions. The fixed track group 200 is used to dock with the movable track group 122 in at least one turntable switch device 100. The fixed track group 200 includes two fixed tracks 210 arranged side by side.

[0070] It should be noted that in the circular shuttle system provided in this application embodiment, the turntable switch device 100 can guide the shuttle car to quickly switch from one fixed track group 200 to another fixed track group 200. Moreover, it can also realize the switching of the shuttle car between different fixed track groups 200, which can realize the flexible scheduling of the shuttle car, improve the transportation efficiency of the circular shuttle car system, and reduce the implementation cost of automated three-dimensional warehousing.

[0071] Furthermore, the turntable switch device 100 has a rolling assembly 121 mounted on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120 surrounding the first direction, allowing the turntable mechanism 120 to rotate relative to the base frame mechanism 110 via the rolling assembly 121. The rolling assembly 121 supports the turntable mechanism 120 and can form a frame-like structure to effectively resist radial and tangential forces experienced by the turntable mechanism 120 during rotation, making the entire turntable mechanism 120 more robust. Simultaneously, when the rolling assembly 121 is mounted on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120, the center of gravity of the turntable mechanism 120 is relatively dispersed, resulting in greater stability of the entire turntable switch device 100 when a shuttle car passes over the turntable mechanism 120.

[0072] Furthermore, since the rolling assembly 121 is located on the outer periphery of the turntable mechanism 120, the installation and maintenance of the rolling assembly 121 are more convenient. The specific height of the rolling assembly 121 in the first direction is adjustable, which can avoid the defect that the rolling assembly 121 cannot effectively contact the base frame mechanism 110 and is suspended.

[0073] In one embodiment, the circular shuttle system includes at least two sets of fixed track groups 200, one set of fixed track groups 200 being used to dock with the linear movable track group 122 in the circular shuttle system, and the other set of fixed track groups 200 being used to dock with the arc-shaped movable track group 122 in the circular shuttle system.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the circular shuttle system includes a straight fixed track group 200a, a straight fixed track group 200b, and an arc-shaped fixed track group 200c. The turntable switch device 100 is arranged between the straight fixed track group 200a, the straight fixed track group 200b, and the arc-shaped fixed track group 200c to guide the shuttle car from the straight fixed track group 200a to another straight fixed track group 200b or the arc-shaped fixed track group 200c.

[0075] It is worth noting that the straight fixed track group 200a, the straight fixed track group 200b and the turntable switch device 100 can form a shuttle car straight-going mode; the straight fixed track group 200a, the arc fixed track group 200c and the turntable switch device 100 can form a shuttle car turning mode.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the circular shuttle system also includes a support base mechanism 300. It should be understood that the support base mechanism 300 can support the movable track 1221 on the turntable mechanism 120, especially for shuttle systems with large loads, and can reduce the possibility of the turntable switch device 100 settling under load.

[0077] like Figure 8 As shown, the support mechanism 300 includes a base 310, a support 320, and an adjusting nut 330. The base 310 can be fixed relative to the ground or other structures. The support 320 is installed on one side of the base 310 in the first direction, and the position of the support 320 relative to the base 310 in the first direction is adjustable by adjusting the nut 330. A support plate 321 is provided on the side of the support 320 away from the base 310 in the first direction, and a fixed rail 210 is installed on the side of the support plate 321 away from the base 310. Along a direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the extension direction of the fixed rail 210, the support plate 321 extends beyond both sides of the fixed rail 210, and the portion of the support plate 321 extending beyond the fixed rail 210 is provided with a chamfer for connecting the movable rail 1221 in the turntable switch device 100.

[0078] It should be noted that in the circular shuttle system provided in this application embodiment, the side guide angle of the support plate 321 on the upper surface of the support 320 extends to the outside of the fixed track 210, and the movable track 1221 on the turntable mechanism 120 can be attached to the support to support the movable track 1221, so as to prevent the fixed track 210 from sinking under pressure when the shuttle passes by, which would cause the track and sliding contact line to misalign.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments / implementations provided by this utility model can be combined with each other without creating contradictions, and will not be described in detail here.

[0080] In the embodiments of the utility model, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance; the term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise explicitly defined. The terms "install," "connect," "join," and "fix" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connect" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "join" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0081] In the description of the utility model embodiments, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings.
