Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of reversing rail structure for intelligent warehousing equipment, and more specifically, to an adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure. Background Technology

[0002] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) fall under the category of modern logistics warehousing. They utilize advanced automated storage and retrieval equipment to achieve a rational solution for high-level, high-efficiency, and high-utilization warehouses. High automation of storage and retrieval, ease of operation, and high operational efficiency are the prominent features of automated storage and retrieval systems. They represent a relatively advanced method for managing and storing goods.

[0003] Currently, the main types of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) on the market are: stacker crane AS / RS and four-way shuttle AS / RS. Four-way shuttle AS / RS mainly consists of: storage racks, four-way shuttles, inbound / outbound conveyor docking platforms, and an operation management system. The operation management system controls the four-way shuttles to move within the storage racks and retrieve goods. In existing structures, many main tracks are not adjustable on the reversing rails. Because the main tracks are relatively long, segmented processing introduces machining errors, requiring high precision. Furthermore, the reversing process of the four-way shuttles can cause jamming and unevenness, damaging the shuttle wheels. Over long-term use, insufficient strength at the ends of the reversing rails can lead to wheel indentations, affecting the smooth reversing of the four-way shuttles. Achieving a smooth transition between the main track (aisle travel track) and the sub-track (storage track) of the four-way shuttle racks is the biggest challenge and pain point facing four-way shuttle racks. Therefore, we have designed an adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure. This adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure, through the setting of the reversing rail body, support beam, connecting plate and adjustment fixing plate, allows the main rail to be easily adjusted on the reversing rail, and the reversing rail and sub-rails to be adjustable. It enables the four-way shuttle to smoothly change direction directly between the main rail and the sub-rail of the rack. In addition, the added reinforcing ribs ensure the strength of the reversing rail entrance. Compared with the existing structure, it reduces the manufacturing difficulty, reduces the requirements for processing precision, and reduces the difficulty of installation and adjustment.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] An adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure includes a support beam, a reversing rail body fixedly connected to the surface of the support beam, reinforcing sections at both ends of the reversing rail body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the end face of the support beam, a bracket beam fastened to one end of the connecting plate by bolts, an adjusting fixing plate fixedly connected to the surface of the support beam, a main rail body movably connected to the surface of the adjusting fixing plate, and rack columns fastened to the surface of the bracket beam by bolts. This adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure, through the reversing rail body, support beam, connecting plate, and adjusting fixing plate, allows for easy adjustment of the main rail on the reversing rail, and adjustment between the reversing rail and the sub-rails. It enables smooth reversing of the four-way shuttle between the main rail and the sub-rails of the rack. Furthermore, the added reinforcing ribs ensure the strength of the reversing rail entrance. Compared to existing structures, this reduces manufacturing difficulty, lowers the requirements for processing precision, and simplifies installation and adjustment.

[0007] Furthermore, the reinforcing part consists of two reinforcing ribs. The surfaces of the two reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the reversing rail body. The center of the reinforcing ribs is on the same plane as the center of the reversing rail body. The two reinforcing ribs prevent the wheels from forming indentations on the rail contact surface after long-term use, thus enhancing the strength of the interface.

[0008] Furthermore, bolt holes are provided on the side of the support beam, and bolts are threaded into the inner wall of the bolt holes. A maintenance frame is movably connected to the surface of the bolts, and a maintenance net is provided on the surface of the maintenance frame. The maintenance net can improve the maintenance safety of maintenance personnel.

[0009] Furthermore, the main track body is located on the side of the shelf column, and there is an adjustment gap between the main track body and the side of the shelf column. The main track is designed to be close to the column, so that the overall force is stable.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the adjusting fixing plate has a second adjusting hole, which is strip-shaped, so that the main rail bolted to the adjusting fixing plate can be easily adjusted left and right on the reversing rail, reducing the high requirements for machining accuracy.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting plate has a first adjustment hole, which is strip-shaped, so that the reversing rail body is directly bolted to the bracket beam, thus avoiding the reversing rail from sinking due to stress.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the reversing rail body is a hollow rectangle, and the reversing rail body is a single piece, avoiding frequent height difference exchanges of the three-section, four-joint design.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This solution enables the main track to be easily adjusted on the reversing track by setting the reversing track body, support beam, connecting plate and adjustment fixing plate, and the reversing track and sub-track to be adjustable, so that the four-way shuttle can be directly and smoothly reversed on the main track and sub-track of the rack.

[0015] (2) This solution ensures the strength of the reversing rail entrance by adding reinforcing ribs. Compared with the existing structure, it reduces the manufacturing difficulty, the requirements for processing accuracy are reduced, and the difficulty of installation and adjustment is reduced.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5An adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure includes a support beam 1, with a reversing rail body 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the support beam 1. The support beam 1 and the reversing rail body 2 are welded together, which can increase the overall cross-sectional characteristics of the tubing. Reinforcing sections are provided at both ends of the reversing rail body 2, each consisting of two reinforcing ribs 5. The surfaces of the two reinforcing ribs 5 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the reversing rail body 2, and the centers of the reinforcing ribs 5 and the center of the reversing rail body 2 are on the same plane. The two reinforcing ribs 5 prevent the ends of the reversing rail body 2 from deteriorating after long-term use. The wheels leave indentations on the track contact surface, enhancing the strength of the interface. A connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the end face of the support beam 1. One end of the connecting plate 3 is fastened to the bracket beam 7 by bolts. An adjusting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support beam 1. The main track body 6 is movably connected to the surface of the adjusting plate 4. A shelf column 8 is fastened to the surface of the bracket beam 7 by bolts. Sub-tracks are installed on the surface of the shelf column 8. Several shelf columns 8 are combined to form a storage rack. Several reversing beams, main tracks, and sub-tracks are installed inside the storage rack, as well as four-way shuttle cars movably connected on the tracks.

[0026] Bolt holes are opened on the side of the support beam 1, and bolts are threaded on the inner wall of the bolt holes. A maintenance rack is movably connected to the surface of the bolts. A maintenance net 11 is set on the surface of the maintenance rack. The maintenance net 11 can improve the maintenance safety of maintenance personnel. The main track body 6 is located on the side of the shelf column 8. An adjustment gap is left between the main track body 6 and the side of the shelf column 8. The main track is designed to be close to the column, so that the overall stress is stable. The cross-sectional shape of the reversing rail body 2 is a hollow rectangle. The reversing rail body 2 is a single piece to avoid frequent height difference exchanges of the three-section four joints.

[0027] The surface of the adjusting plate 4 has a second adjusting hole 41, which is strip-shaped, so that the main rail bolted to the adjusting plate 4 can be easily adjusted left and right on the reversing rail, reducing the high requirements for machining accuracy. The surface of the connecting plate 3 has a first adjusting hole 31, which is strip-shaped, so that the reversing rail body 2 and the bracket beam 7 can be directly bolted and fixed, avoiding the reversing rail from sinking due to stress.

[0028] During assembly, the adjustable four-way shuttle rack reversing rail structure involves first inserting bolts into the first adjustment hole 31, then tightening them to the bracket beam 7, and finally fixing the support beam 1 to the rack column 8. Simultaneously, during fixing, the reversing rail body 2 and sub-rails on the support beam 1 can be adjusted in the corresponding directions. Next, bolts are passed through the second adjustment hole 41 and inserted into the main rail body 6 placed on the surface of the adjustment fixing plate 4. The horizontal position of the main rail on the reversing rail is then adjusted, allowing for easy left and right horizontal adjustment. The reversing rail assembly is then complete. Through the reversing rail body 2, support beam 1, connecting plate 3, and adjustment fixing plate 4, the main rail can be easily adjusted on the reversing rail, and the reversing rail and sub-rails can be adjusted, reducing manufacturing difficulty, lowering the requirements for processing precision, and reducing installation and adjustment difficulty. This enables the four-way shuttle to smoothly reverse direction directly between the rack's main rail and secondary rails. Furthermore, the added reinforcing ribs 5 ensure the strength of the reversing rail entrance, preventing wheel indentations from affecting the smooth reversing of the four-way shuttle.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
