Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inventory management and transportation technology, and in particular to a transportation device for supply chain inventory management. Background Technology
[0002] Transportation equipment for supply chain inventory management refers to a type of mechanical equipment specifically designed for use in warehousing and logistics to assist in the efficient transfer, handling, docking, or entry and exit of materials between nodes in the supply chain. This equipment typically serves manufacturing enterprises, warehousing centers, e-commerce logistics, and distribution systems to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and security of inventory management.
[0003] While existing manned transport devices can lift and lower operators to place goods at high positions, during operation, operators need to be close to the shelves and manually move the items to the designated location. This results in problems such as limited operating space, instability, and a high risk of collisions or falls, which seriously affect personnel safety and operational efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the existing manned transport devices mentioned above, although they can achieve high-level operations by lifting and lowering, operators still need to approach the shelves to manually move items. The operating space is limited, the operator is unstable, and collisions or falls are likely to occur, posing significant safety hazards and affecting work efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of transport device for supply chain inventory management. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that existing manned transport devices, although capable of high-level operations via lifting and lowering, still require operators to manually move items close to the shelves, resulting in limited operating space, instability, and a high risk of collisions or falls, posing significant safety hazards and affecting operational efficiency, there is an urgent need to design a new type of transport device for supply chain inventory management.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a transportation device for supply chain inventory management, including a transport vehicle and an auxiliary block installed on the top of the transport vehicle. An electric lifting rod is connected inside the auxiliary block, and a fixed block is connected to the top of the electric lifting rod. A motor is connected to the front end of the fixed block, and a gear is connected to the output end of the motor. A gear plate is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed block, and the gear meshes with the gear plate. An auxiliary frame is connected to the top of the gear plate. Rotating columns are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides inside the auxiliary frame. An electric motor is connected to the left end of the auxiliary frame, and the electric motor is rotatably connected to the rotating columns. A transmission belt is connected between the two rotating columns. Protective plates are connected to the left and right sides of the top of the auxiliary frame. The motor drives the gear to rotate, causing the gear plate to rotate on the fixed block. The rotation of the gear plate drives the auxiliary frame to rotate. The electric motor drives the rotating columns to rotate inside the auxiliary frame, and the rotation of the rotating columns drives the transmission belt to move.
[0007] Preferably, by setting up a conveyor belt and toothed disc structure, the items are first placed on the conveyor belt. After the electric lifting rod is started, it drives the toothed disc and auxiliary frame to rise and fall vertically, so that the auxiliary frame can accurately align with the target shelf height. Then, the motor is started, and the motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed disc to rotate, realizing the horizontal angle adjustment of the auxiliary frame, thereby adapting to the placement needs of different shelf levels or angles. Next, the motor is started, and the motor drives the rotating column to rotate, further driving the conveyor belt to operate, smoothly and accurately transporting the items to the designated position on the shelf. There is no need for the operator to approach the shelf or manually handle them, effectively avoiding the safety risks caused by working at height.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the transport vehicle is connected to an electric lifting column, the front end of which is connected to the rear end of the auxiliary block, and the rear end of the electric lifting column is connected to a guardrail.
[0009] Preferably, the guardrail has placement frames connected to both the left and right ends, and a footboard connected to the lower rear end of the guardrail.
[0010] Preferably, a baffle is rotatably connected to the right rear end of the guardrail, and the baffle has a gripping groove inside.
[0011] Preferably, a locking block is connected to the left rear end of the guardrail, and the baffle and the locking block are matched with each other.
[0012] Preferably, a controller is installed on the front side of the inside of the guardrail, guide wheels are installed on the front side of the bottom of the transport vehicle, and drive wheels are installed on the rear side of the bottom of the transport vehicle.
[0013] Preferably, the controller is electrically connected to the electric lifting rod, the electric lifting column, the motor, the controller, the drive wheel, and the motor. When a person enters the guardrail, he grabs the gripping groove and rotates the baffle until it engages with the locking block. The controller then controls the electric lifting column to move the guardrail vertically.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By setting up a conveyor belt and toothed disc structure, items can be automatically transported without relying on manual handling or proximity to the shelves. This fundamentally eliminates the safety hazards such as falls and collisions that may occur during high-altitude operations, significantly improving the safety of the operation process.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a transportation device for supply chain inventory management, including a transport vehicle 1 and an auxiliary block 21 mounted on top of the transport vehicle 1. An electric lifting rod 22 is connected inside the auxiliary block 21, and a fixed block 23 is connected to the top of the electric lifting rod 22. A motor 24 is connected to the front end of the fixed block 23, and a gear 25 is connected to the output end of the motor 24. A gear disc 26 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed block 23, and the gear 25 meshes with the gear disc 26. An auxiliary frame 27 is connected to the top of the gear disc 26, and rotating columns 28 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides inside the auxiliary frame 27. A motor 29 is connected to the left end of the auxiliary frame 27, and the motor 29 is rotatably connected to the rotating columns 28. A transmission belt 210 is connected between the two rotating columns 28. Protective plates 211 are connected to the left and right sides of the top of the auxiliary frame 27. The motor 24 drives the gear 25 to rotate, causing the gear disc 26 to rotate on the fixed block 23. The rotation of the gear disc 26 drives... The auxiliary frame 27 is rotated, and the motor 29 drives the rotating column 28 to rotate inside the auxiliary frame 27. The rotation of the rotating column 28 drives the conveyor belt 210 to move. By setting up the structure of the conveyor belt 210 and the toothed disc 26, the items are first placed on the conveyor belt 210. After the electric lifting rod 22 is started, the electric lifting rod 22 drives the toothed disc 26 and the auxiliary frame 27 to move vertically, so that the auxiliary frame 27 can accurately align with the target shelf height. Then, the motor 24 is started, and the motor 24 drives the gear 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed disc 26 to rotate, realizing the horizontal angle adjustment of the auxiliary frame 27, thereby adapting to the placement requirements of different shelf levels or angles. Next, the motor 29 is started, and the motor 29 drives the rotating column 28 to rotate, further driving the conveyor belt 210 to operate, so as to smoothly and accurately transport the items to the designated position on the shelf without the need for the operator to approach the shelf or manually handle them, effectively avoiding the safety risks caused by working at height.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, an electric lifting column 31 is connected to the top of the transport vehicle 1. The front end of the electric lifting column 31 is connected to the rear end of the auxiliary block 21. A guardrail 32 is connected to the rear end of the electric lifting column 31. Placement frames 33 are connected to the left and right ends of the guardrail 32. A footboard 34 is connected to the lower rear end of the guardrail 32. A baffle 35 is rotatably connected to the right rear end of the guardrail 32. A gripping groove 36 is provided inside the baffle 35. Through the cooperation of the electric lifting column 31 and the auxiliary block 21, the vertical lifting function of the guardrail 32 is realized, so that personnel can be smoothly lifted and lowered with the transport device. The guardrail 32 and the footboard 34 are designed to facilitate the operator to climb onto the guardrail 32. The guardrail 32 provides a relatively enclosed and safe standing space, effectively avoiding the risk of accidental fall during high-altitude operations.
[0025] Please see Figures 2-5In this embodiment, a locking block 37 is connected to the left rear end of the guardrail 32. The baffle 35 matches the locking block 37. A controller 38 is provided on the front side of the interior of the guardrail 32. A guide wheel 39 is provided on the front bottom of the transport vehicle 1. A drive wheel 310 is provided on the rear bottom of the transport vehicle 1. The controller 38 is electrically connected to the electric lifting rod 22, the electric lifting column 31, the motor 29, the controller 38, the drive wheel 310, and the motor 24. When a person enters the interior of the guardrail 32, he / she grabs the gripping groove 36 and rotates the baffle 35 until it engages with the locking block 37. The controller 38 controls the electric lifting column 31 to drive the guardrail 32 to move vertically and achieve the lifting of the person. The matching of the baffle 35 and the locking block 37 ensures the stability of the guardrail 32 in the closed state and avoids the person from falling due to misoperation. The controller 38 centrally controls each key component, which can simplify the operation process and realize the integrated linkage of personnel lifting, device movement, and material transportation, which helps to improve the overall operation efficiency and on-site operation safety.
[0026] During transport, first, climb into the guardrail 32 via the footboard 34, then place the item in the placement frame 33, grasp the gripping groove 36 and rotate the baffle 35. The baffle 35 rotates on the guardrail 32 until it engages with the locking block 37 to prevent the operator from falling. The electric lifting column 31 is activated via the controller 38, which moves the guardrail 32 vertically until it is adjusted to the required height. After adjustment, the electric telescopic rod is activated via the controller 38, which moves the fixing block 23 vertically. Subsequently, the motor 24 is activated, driving the gear 25 to rotate. The gear 25 meshes with the gear disc 26, causing the gear disc 26 to rotate. The rotation guides the auxiliary frame 27 to adjust its angle in the horizontal direction to adapt to different shelf levels or angle requirements. Then, the motor 29 at the left end of the auxiliary frame 27 is started. The motor 29 drives the rotating column 28 to rotate, and the transmission belt 210 connected between the two rotating columns 28 runs accordingly. The items in the placement box 33 are then placed on the transmission belt 210. The items are smoothly transported to the designated position on the shelf by the transmission belt 210, without the need for personnel to approach the shelf for manual handling. This effectively avoids safety hazards such as collisions and falls during high-altitude operations. The controller 38 drives the drive wheel 310 to rotate and controls the guide wheel 39 for directional guidance, facilitating the movement of the device.
[0027] Through the above steps, by adopting the structure of conveyor belt 210 and toothed disc 26, items can be automatically transported without manual handling or proximity to the shelves. This fundamentally avoids safety risks such as falls and collisions that may occur during high-altitude operations, significantly improving operational safety. This structure effectively eliminates the need for manual placement, greatly improving operational efficiency and stability, ensuring the speed and standardization of item placement, and promoting efficient and safe operation of inventory management. This addresses the problem that while existing manned transport devices can achieve high-level operations with lifting, operators still need to approach the shelves to manually handle items, resulting in limited operating space, instability, and a high risk of collisions or falls, posing significant safety hazards and affecting operational efficiency.
