Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of four-way shuttle technology, specifically to a four-way shuttle rack. Background Technology

[0002] Four-way shuttle is a highly intelligent warehousing technology that uses four-way shuttles to move in multiple dimensions on automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) to complete the storage and retrieval of goods. Its core components include four-way shuttles, AS / RS, and a control system. The four-way shuttles are automated vehicles capable of horizontal and vertical movement, equipped with advanced navigation systems and sensors, enabling them to quickly locate goods and complete operations. The control system is responsible for scheduling the shuttles' routes, optimizing task allocation, and monitoring the system's operational status. The racking is typically a high-density racking system that works in conjunction with the automated warehouse management and control systems to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of goods storage and retrieval.

[0003] Currently, when using existing four-way shuttle racks, the vertical racks often have multiple layers to form independent storage channels for relatively dense storage of goods. However, for different types of goods, the loading height of the goods is usually not uniform, while the layer spacing of the racks is often fixed. This makes it difficult for the goods to fit perfectly in the channels, and the space may be too small or too large. This makes it difficult to allocate resources rationally and efficiently, and greatly affects the effectiveness of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a four-way shuttle rack. By setting a sliding base and a moving mechanism between the shelf and the uprights, the moving mechanism consists of a first drive motor, a drive gear, and a first toothed column. By driving the drive gear to move along the meshing first toothed column, the shelf can be driven to move stably up and down in a straight line between the four uprights 3. By individually controlling the lifting and lowering of each shelf on the rack, the distance between the upper and lower shelves can be quickly and accurately adjusted according to the height of the goods, thereby greatly ensuring the reasonable and efficient allocation of space and achieving better use, thus solving the above-mentioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a fixed post fixedly connected to one side of the slide block. The fixed post has a cavity inside, and a slide rail communicating with the cavity is provided on the side of the fixed post opposite to the shelf. A movable block is slidably connected inside the cavity. A driving assembly is provided on the fixed post, and the driving assembly is used to drive the movable block to move. A connecting arm is slidably connected inside the slide rail. One end of the connecting arm extends into the cavity and is fixedly connected to the movable block, and the other end of the connecting arm extends out of the fixed post and is fixed with a toothed plate facing the slide block.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 The four-way shuttle rack shown includes:

[0026] Multiple shelving units 1, with four-way rails 2 installed between the bottom ends of the multiple shelving units 1;

[0027] A connecting beam 21 is fixed between the bottom ends of two adjacent multi-unit shelving units 1. Based on this, the connection strength between the shelving units 1 can be greatly enhanced by the connecting beam 21.

[0028] The shelving unit 1 includes four vertical columns 3, and multiple shelves 5 are installed between the four columns 3. Each shelf 5 has a slide 4 fixed at one end. The four slides 4 are slidably fitted onto the outside of the columns 3, and a sliding component is provided between the slides 4 and the columns 3.

[0029] The sliding assembly includes a slider 6 disposed inside the slide block 4, and a groove 7 matching the slider 6 is provided on the side wall of the column 3. Based on this, the slider 6 can be driven by the slide block 4 to slide along the groove 7, which can greatly enhance the stability of the slide block 4 when sliding on the column 3.

[0030] One of the slides 4 is equipped with a moving mechanism, and the other slide 4 is equipped with a locking mechanism. The moving mechanism is used to drive the shelf 5 to move up and down between the four columns 3.

[0031] The moving mechanism includes a baffle 8 fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide 4. One side of the baffle 8 is rotatably connected to a drive gear 10 via a rotating shaft, and the other side of the baffle 8 is fixedly connected to a first drive motor 9. The output end of the first drive motor 9 is connected to the drive gear 10. One side of one of the columns 3 is fixed with a first toothed column 11 that meshes with the drive gear 10.

[0032] In use, the first drive motor 9 on the shelf 5 can be started through the control system, which drives the drive gear 10 to rotate. Then the drive gear 10 can move along the meshing first tooth column 11. With the sliding cooperation between the slide seat 4 at the four ends of the shelf 5 and the column 3, the shelf 5 can be driven to move stably up and down in a straight line between the four columns 3. By individually controlling the lifting and lowering of each shelf 5 on the shelf unit 1, the distance between the upper and lower shelves 5 can be quickly and accurately adjusted according to the height of the goods, which greatly ensures the reasonable and efficient allocation of space and has a good effect.

[0033] The locking mechanism includes a fixed post 12 fixedly connected to one side of the slide block 4. The fixed post 12 has a cavity 13 inside, and a slide rail 15 communicating with the cavity 13 is opened on the side of the fixed post 12 opposite to the shelf 5. A movable block 14 is slidably connected inside the cavity 13. A drive assembly is provided on the fixed post 12, and the drive assembly is used to drive the movable block 14 to move. A connecting arm 16 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 15. One end of the connecting arm 16 extends into the cavity 13 and is fixedly connected to the movable block 14. The other end of the connecting arm 16 extends out of the fixed post 12 and is fixed with a toothed plate 17 facing the slide block 4. A second toothed post 20 that meshes with the toothed plate 17 is provided on the side wall of one of the posts 3.

[0034] The drive assembly includes a threaded rod 18 rotatably connected to the cavity 13 via a bearing, a second drive motor 19 fixedly connected to one end of the fixed column 12 relative to the slide 4, the output end of the second drive motor 19 being connected to the threaded rod 18, and a movable block 14 being threadedly engaged with the outside of the threaded rod 18.

[0035] After the shelf 5 is positioned vertically between the columns 3, the second drive motor 19 on the shelf 5 can be activated, causing the second drive motor 19 to drive the threaded rod 18 to rotate. Then, the threaded rod 18 can drive the movable block 14 to slide in the cavity 13, causing the movable block 14 to drive the connecting arm 16 to slide along the slide rail 15. After that, the connecting arm 16 can drive the toothed plate 17 to move, so that the toothed plate 17 can approach and mesh with the second toothed column 20, thereby further locking the slide 4 onto the column 3, thus greatly ensuring the stability of the shelf 5 between the columns 3.

[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
