Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to glass deep processing technology, and in particular to a four-wheel drive shuttle vehicle component for storing raw glass sheets. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the glass deep processing, the raw glass sheet storage system is the source of automated production, providing raw sheet supply and basic data for subsequent glass cutting, edging, tempering, and insulating glass processes. The safe and timely supply of raw sheets and the accuracy of data transmission are prerequisites for smooth production. Therefore, the ability of the shuttle vehicles, which bear the most and heaviest workload, to handle these tasks is particularly crucial.

[0003] Patent document with application number "CN202211054768.8" discloses a glass deep processing system and scheduling method. The glass deep processing system includes: an inventory module for storing data corresponding to the glass sheets stored on each shelf of the glass warehouse, the glass warehouse being used to store glass sheets to be deep processed; multiple loading machines located on one side of the glass warehouse, and a shuttle machine located between the glass warehouse and the loading machines, the shuttle machine retrieving glass sheets from the glass warehouse according to order data and transporting them to the loading machines; multiple cutting machines located on one side of the loading machines, the cutting machines receiving the glass sheets transferred from the loading machines and performing deep processing on the glass sheets; a control module communicating with the inventory module, the loading machines, the shuttle machine, and the cutting machines, the control module generating replacement tasks and return tasks, and flexibly controlling the loading machines and the shuttle machine according to the replacement tasks, return tasks, and cutting task orders, so that the cutting machines complete the deep processing of the glass sheets.

[0004] Patent document with application number "CN201910413449.3" discloses a glass deep processing workshop connection line, relating to the field of glass production technology. It includes: a first connection line, a second connection line, a third connection line, a fourth connection line, and a controller. One end of the first connection line is connected to the glass sheet end, and the other end is connected to an edge grinding and cleaning device for conveying the glass sheet to the edge grinding and cleaning device. One end of the second connection line is connected to the edge grinding and cleaning device, and the other end is connected to a coating treatment device for conveying the edge-ground and cleaned glass to the coating treatment device. One end of the third connection line is connected to the coating treatment device, and the other end is connected to a tempering furnace. One end of the fourth connection line is connected to the tempering furnace, and the other end is connected to a sheet unloading system. This overcomes the low production efficiency caused by manual operation of handling equipment to transport glass sheets, achieving automatic connection between the glass sheet end and each deep processing production line, thus improving the efficiency of glass deep processing.

[0005] The aforementioned patent documents, in conjunction with existing technology, reveal the following defects in existing glass sheet storage four-wheel drive shuttle vehicle components: As can be seen from the above documents, in most cases, a traditional shuttle car uses one motor to drive two wheels to rotate and move, while the other two wheels only serve a supporting function. Once the load increases to a certain extent, or if there are differences in the level of the guide rails, the stability and accuracy of the shuttle car will become unstable. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, a four-wheel drive shuttle assembly for storing raw glass sheets includes a control assembly 1, a support frame 2, two travel guide rails 3, a drive motor 4, and a power shuttle assembly. The power shuttle assembly includes two first drive shafts 5, a first side gear 61, a first roller shaft 71, a first roller 711, a first helical gear 81, a second side gear 62, a second roller shaft 72, a second roller 721, a second helical gear 82, a second drive shaft 91, a first end gear 911, a third helical gear 912, a third roller shaft 913, a third roller 914, a third drive shaft 92, a second end gear 921, a fourth helical gear 922, a fourth roller shaft 923, and a fourth roller 924.
