Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shuttle technology, and more specifically, to a shuttle for supply chain warehousing. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, shuttles in supply chain warehousing systems are commonly used to efficiently transport storage boxes within warehouses. However, these shuttles present numerous inconveniences in terms of installing and removing storage boxes, impacting overall work efficiency and operational convenience.

[0003] First, existing shuttle designs are mostly based on fixed structures, lacking the flexibility to adapt to storage boxes. Installing storage boxes usually requires manual docking, a cumbersome process that demands skill and experience, especially when rapid cargo exchange or retrieval of multiple boxes is needed, leading to significant manual intervention and potential delays. Furthermore, shuttle storage boxes are typically designed to be bulky, requiring considerable force or prolonged operation for installation and disassembly, resulting in high labor intensity.

[0004] Secondly, the design of the storage box installation position and disassembly method of the existing shuttle is not flexible enough, especially when different types and specifications of storage boxes need to be interchanged or adjusted. Traditional designs often lack the ability to make quick adjustments. For example, the fixing slots or positioning devices in some shuttle designs cannot adapt to storage boxes of various sizes and shapes, which often leads to problems such as jamming, inability to connect, and positional misalignment during installation or disassembly, increasing the difficulty of operation.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A shuttle car for supply chain warehousing includes a shuttle car body 1, a storage installation mechanism, a fixing mechanism, and a stabilizing mechanism. The storage installation mechanism includes a storage box 2 and a support plate 3. Side plates 4 are installed on both sides of the storage box 2, and locking rods 5 are installed on the side plates 4. Support plates 3 are installed on both sides of the shuttle car body 1, and locking tubes 6 are installed on the support plates 3. The locking rods 5 can extend into the locking tubes 6 to connect the support plates 3 and the side plates 4. The fixing mechanism includes a clamping ring 7 and a locking spring block 8. The inner wall of the locking tube 6 is longitudinally... The clamping rod 5 has an insertion groove 9 and a locking groove 10. A locking spring block 8 is installed on the outer wall of the clamping rod 5. The clamping rod 5 extends into the clamping tube 6 through the insertion groove 9. Rotating the clamping rod 5 causes the locking spring block 8 to extend into the locking groove 10. An insertion spring rod 11 is laterally slidably installed on the side wall of the clamping tube 6. A clamping ring 7 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 6. The clamping ring 7 presses against the insertion spring rod 11, causing the insertion spring rod 11 to extend into the side wall of the clamping rod 5. A screw frame 12 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the storage installation mechanism connects the storage box 2 to the shuttle body 1. A locking rod 5 is installed on the side plates 4 on both sides of the storage box 2, and a locking tube 6 is installed on the support plates 3 on both sides of the shuttle body 1. By inserting the locking rod 5 into the locking tube 6, a mechanical connection is achieved between the support plate 3 and the side plate 4. The fixing block 20 is threadedly fixed to the locking rod 5 to ensure a secure connection. The connecting plate 21 fixes the locking tube 6 onto the support plate 3, providing a stable installation base. The fixing mechanism securely fixes the storage box 2 through double locking. The locking rod 5 extends directionally into the locking tube 6 through multiple sets of insertion slots 9. The locking spring block 8 slides and guides with the insertion slot 9. Rotating the locking rod 5 causes the locking spring block 8 to extend into the locking groove 10, forming a preliminary lock. Then, the clamping ring 7 is pushed, and the clamping ring 7 presses against the extending spring rod 11, so that the extending spring rod 11 extends into the side wall of the snap-fit ​​rod 5, forming a secondary lock. The screw frame 12 is limited to rotate and installed on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 6, and is threadedly pushed in conjunction with the clamping ring 7 to achieve precise control of the position of the clamping ring 7.

[0032] The stabilizing mechanism includes an outer fixed ring 13 and an outer rotating ring 14. The screw frame 12 is threaded and driven by the clamping ring 7. A mating ring 15 is installed at the top end of the screw frame 12. The outer fixed ring 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 6. The outer rotating ring 14 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the outer fixed ring 13. A pressure plate 16 is installed at the bottom end of the outer rotating ring 14. An embedded spring rod 17 is installed on the outer fixed ring 13. The rotation of the outer rotating ring 14 causes the pressure plate 16 to press against the embedded spring rod 17 and embed into the mating ring 15, thereby fixing the screw frame 12 in the rotation direction of the clamping tube 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism prevents the screw frame 12 from accidentally loosening by embedding and locking. A mating ring 15 is installed on the top of the screw frame 12, and a friction groove 22 is opened on the outer wall of the mating ring 15. The outer fixing ring 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 6, and the outer rotating ring 14 is limited to rotate and installed on the outer wall of the outer fixing ring 13. When the outer rotating ring 14 is rotated, the pressing plate 16 at its bottom presses against the embedded spring rod 17, so that the embedded spring rod 17 extends into the friction groove 22 in the mating ring 15. The screw frame 12 is fixed in the rotation direction of the clamping tube 6 by the pressing setting, preventing the system from loosening.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-5 As a supplementary embodiment of a supply chain warehousing shuttle for storage installation, fixing and stabilizing mechanisms: A base plate 18 is installed at the bottom end of the shuttle body 1, and the shuttle body 1 is directionally movable on the base plate 18. A rail 19 is installed at the top end of the base plate 18, and the shuttle body 1 and the rail 19 are rolled together. A fixing block 20 is fixedly installed on the side plate 4, and one end of the snap-fit ​​rod 5 is threadedly fixed to the fixing block 20. A connecting plate 21 is installed on the side wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 6, and the connecting plate 21 is fixedly installed on the support plate 3. Multiple sets of insertion grooves 9 are provided. The snap-fit ​​rod 5 is slidably guided by the extended locking spring block 8 and the insertion groove 9. A friction groove 22 is opened on the outer wall of the mating ring 15, and the embedded spring rod 17 can be inserted into the friction groove 22 to press and tighten.

[0035] More specifically, the shuttle body 1 rolls to a designated position on the base plate 18 via the rails 19, placing the storage box 2 on the shuttle body 1. The locking rod 5 on the side plate 4 aligns with the locking tube 6 on the support plate 3. The locking rod 5 extends into the locking tube 6 through the insertion groove 9, and the locking spring block 8 guides it in conjunction with the insertion groove 9. Rotating the locking rod 5 causes the locking spring block 8 to extend into the locking groove 10, achieving initial fixation between the storage box 2 and the shuttle body 1. Rotating the screw frame 12 pushes the clamping ring 7 to the accurate position via the thread. The clamping ring 7 presses against the extended spring rod 11, causing it to extend into the side wall of the snap-fit ​​rod 5, forming a firm double lock. Rotating the outer rotating ring 14 causes the pressing plate 16 to press against the embedded spring rod 17, causing it to extend into the friction groove 22 of the mating ring 15. The clamping setting of the embedded spring rod 17 and the friction groove 22 fixes the screw frame 12 in the rotation direction, preventing loosening. After the storage box 2 is firmly installed, the shuttle car body 1 rolls on the track 19 to carry out storage and transportation operations. After the operation is completed, the reverse operation is performed to release the locks at all levels and remove the storage box 2.

[0036] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: when the storage installation mechanism is in operation, the storage installation mechanism connects the storage box 2 and the shuttle body 1. The side plates 4 on both sides of the storage box 2 are equipped with snap-fit ​​rods 5, and the support plates 3 on both sides of the shuttle body 1 are equipped with snap-fit ​​tubes 6. By inserting the snap-fit ​​rods 5 into the snap-fit ​​tubes 6, the support plates 3 and the side plates 4 are mechanically connected. The fixing block 20 is threadedly fixed to the snap-fit ​​rods 5 to ensure the firmness of the connection. The connecting plate 21 fixes the snap-fit ​​tubes 6 on the support plate 3, providing a stable installation foundation.

[0037] When the fixing mechanism is required to operate, it securely fixes the storage box 2 through double locking. The locking rod 5 extends into the locking tube 6 through multiple sets of insertion slots 9. The locking spring block 8 slides and guides with the insertion slots 9. Rotating the locking rod 5 causes the locking spring block 8 to extend into the locking slot 10, forming a preliminary lock. Subsequently, the pressure ring 7 is pushed, pressing against the insertion spring rod 11, causing the insertion spring rod 11 to extend into the side wall of the locking rod 5, forming a secondary lock. The screw frame 12 is limited and rotated on the outer wall of the locking tube 6, and is threaded and pushed with the pressure ring 7 to achieve precise control of the position of the pressure ring 7.

[0038] When the stabilizing mechanism is required to operate, the stabilizing mechanism prevents the screw frame 12 from loosening accidentally by embedding and locking. The top of the screw frame 12 is equipped with a mating ring 15, and the outer wall of the mating ring 15 has a friction groove 22. The outer fixing ring 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the clamping tube 6. The outer rotating ring 14 is limited to rotate and installed on the outer wall of the outer fixing ring 13. When the outer rotating ring 14 is rotated, the pressure plate 16 at its bottom presses against the embedded spring rod 17, so that the embedded spring rod 17 extends into the friction groove 22 in the mating ring 15. The screw frame 12 is fixed in the rotation direction of the clamping tube 6 by the clamping setting, preventing the system from loosening.

[0039] The shuttle body 1 rolls to the designated position on the base plate 18 via the rail 19, placing the storage box 2 on the shuttle body 1. The locking rod 5 on the side plate 4 aligns with the locking tube 6 on the support plate 3. The locking rod 5 extends into the locking tube 6 through the insertion groove 9, and the locking spring block 8 guides it in conjunction with the insertion groove 9. Rotating the locking rod 5 causes the locking spring block 8 to extend into the locking groove 10, achieving initial fixation between the storage box 2 and the shuttle body 1. Rotating the screw frame 12 pushes the clamping ring 7 to the accurate position via the thread. 7. Press the spring rod 11 into the side wall of the locking rod 5 to form a firm double lock. Rotate the outer rotating ring 14 and press the pressing plate 16 into the embedded spring rod 17 so that it extends into the friction groove 22 of the mating ring 15. The pressing setting of the embedded spring rod 17 and the friction groove 22 fixes the screw frame 12 in the rotation direction to prevent loosening. After the storage box 2 is firmly installed, the shuttle car body 1 rolls on the track 19 to carry out storage and transportation operations. After the operation is completed, reverse the operation to release the locks at all levels and remove the storage box 2.
