AI Technical Summary
During tire production, after the cut rubber parts are rolled onto the I-beam, the uneven weight causes unstable lifting and lowering, affecting the stability of the transportation process, and may even cause the I-beam to fall off.
Design a lifting and balancing device for a vertical warehouse shuttle trolley. It uses a rectangular bracket, guide wheels and guide grooves, combined with a cargo detection photoelectric sensor and a PLC controller. The cam drives the motor to achieve smooth lifting and lowering of the I-beam wheels, preventing deviation and falling.
This design enables smooth lifting and lowering of the I-beam wheels, reducing the risk of them falling during transportation and improving safety performance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire component transportation and storage devices, specifically a vertical warehouse shuttle trolley lifting and balancing device. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, cutting is part of the tire manufacturing process. The equipment rolls the cut rubber parts into H-beams and transports them to the vertical warehouse via a shuttle trolley. The balance during the lifting process is particularly important. When the rubber material is rolled into the H-beams, it cannot be rolled neatly due to various reasons, and one side is too heavy, making it unstable during the lifting process and affecting normal transportation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a lifting and balancing device for a vertical warehouse shuttle trolley to prevent the I-beams from shifting during the transportation process due to uneven weight distribution, which could cause the I-beams to fall off.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a lifting and balancing device for a vertical warehouse shuttle trolley, which is equipped with a shuttle trolley. The shuttle trolley is characterized in that a rectangular bracket is provided on the top of the shuttle trolley, and guide rails are vertically fixed at the four corners of the bracket. Guide rail wheels are installed in the guide rails and slide in cooperation with the guide grooves on the shuttle trolley. A drive motor is fixed in the middle of the shuttle trolley. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to a cam via a connecting key. The cam is located below the bracket. A cargo detection photoelectric sensor is installed on the upper part of the bracket. The cargo detection photoelectric sensor is connected to the signal input terminal of the PLC controller. The signal output terminal of the PLC controller controls the drive motor.
[0005] An upper limit block is installed at the upper end of the guide groove.
[0006] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that it enables the H-shaped wheel to rise and fall smoothly, ensuring smooth subsequent transportation, thereby reducing the risk of the H-shaped wheel falling during transportation and providing good safety performance. Attached Figure Description
[0007] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0009] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention.
[0010] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the lifting and stabilizing device of this utility model.
[0011] The diagram shows: 1.1 I-beam wheel, 1.2 cargo detection photoelectric sensor, 1.3 bracket, 1.4 cam, 1.5 connecting key, 1.6 drive motor, 1.7 lifting and stabilizing device, 2.1 guide groove, 2.2 guide rail, 2.3 guide rail wheel, 2.4 upper limit block, and 3. shuttle trolley. Detailed Implementation
[0012] In the figure, the present invention includes a shuttle trolley 3, a rectangular bracket 1.3 on the top of the shuttle trolley 3, and guide rails 2.2 vertically fixed at the four corners of the bracket 1.3. Guide rail wheels 2.3 are installed inside the guide rails 2.2 and slide with the guide grooves 2.1 on the shuttle trolley 3. A drive motor 1.6 is fixed in the middle of the shuttle trolley 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 1.6 is fixed to a cam 1.4 via a connecting key 1.5. The cam 1.4 is located below the bracket 1.3. A cargo detection photoelectric sensor 1.2 is installed on the upper part of the bracket 1.3. The cargo detection photoelectric sensor 1.2 is connected to the signal input terminal of the PLC controller. The signal output terminal of the PLC controller controls the drive motor 1.6. An upper limit block 2.4 is installed on the upper end of the guide groove 2.1.
[0013] When the I-beam 1.1 is placed on the bracket 1.3 above the shuttle trolley 3, the cargo detection photoelectric sensor 1.2 detects that the I-beam 1.1 has reached its position and sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then controls the drive motor 1.6 to start rotating. Since the cam 1.4 and the drive motor 1.6 are connected by the connecting key 1.5, the cam 1.4 also starts to rotate when the drive motor 1.6 rotates. The cam 1.4 is in direct contact with the bracket 1.3. When the cam 1.4 rotates to the long half-shaft, the bracket 1.3 rises to its maximum height, which in turn raises the I-beam 1.1 on the bracket 1.3 to its maximum height. The guide rail 2.2 and the bracket 1.3 are fixed together with screws, and the guide rail 2.2 and the guide wheel 2.3 are connected to each other with bolts. The guide groove 2.1 is fixed to the shuttle trolley 3 with bolts. When the bracket 1.3 rises, it drives the guide rail 2.2 to rise. The guide wheel 2.3 slides in the guide groove 2.1, and the guide wheel 2.3 moves up and down in the guide groove 2.1 by rolling. Even if one side of the tooling trolley is too heavy and presses on the bracket 1.3 side, the tight fit between the guide wheel 2.3 and the guide groove 2.1 can achieve smooth rising and falling. To prevent the guide wheel 2.3 from exceeding the highest point of the guide rail 2.2 due to inertia during subsequent rising, an upper limit block 2.4 is installed at the highest point of the guide groove 2.1 to ensure that over-rising does not occur.
