Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-bay warehouse shuttle technology, and more specifically, to an automatic cleaning device for the sliding contact line current collector rail. Background Technology

[0002] The shuttle car in a high-bay warehouse is one of the most important main equipment in a logistics high-bay warehouse system. It is a closed mobile device and a type of mobile material handling equipment. It integrates communication, ranging, mobile power supply, and remote control technologies, and adopts frequency conversion, servo, and PLC control technologies. It moves back and forth between multiple input and output stations through speed and position loops, and is suitable for the automatic and high-speed transfer of materials between stations in a logistics system.

[0003] Currently, the power supply for the high-bay warehouse shuttle is obtained by the carbon brush assembly within the shuttle through sliding contact with the sliding contact line, and the power is then transmitted to the shuttle's motor and control system. The function of the high-bay warehouse shuttle is to move back and forth within a confined space to pick up auxiliary materials transported from the high-bay warehouse and deliver them to the corresponding output conveyor. Due to the frequent movement of the shuttle, the carbon brushes in the carbon brush assembly rub against the sliding contact line. Over time, the carbon brush assembly wears down continuously, generating a large amount of carbon dust. Since the current collector rail has a C-shaped cross-section, this carbon dust accumulates in the current collector rail grooves. Because carbon dust is conductive, and the current collector rails are closely spaced, excessive carbon dust accumulation can lead to phase-to-phase short circuits, endangering the safety of goods in the high-bay warehouse. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the high-bay warehouse shuttle and the safety of the high-bay warehouse, the current collector rails need to be cleaned regularly. However, the hazardous nature of carbon dust poses a health risk to cleaning personnel, and the cleaning process requires a power outage, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and disruptive to production, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic cleaning device for the sliding contact line current collector rail. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic cleaning device for the sliding contact line current collector rail provided in this embodiment includes: an air collection device 2 connected to the C-type sliding contact line current collector rail 1, the air collection device 2 being connected to a fan 3, the fan 3 being installed under the overhead warehouse shuttle car, the fan 3 being connected to a time control switch 5, the time control switch 5 being used to control the start and stop of the fan 3.

[0027] The C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rail 1 is the sliding contact line rail of the elevated warehouse shuttle car on site. The top of the fan 3 is fixed to the elevated warehouse shuttle car with screws.

[0028] Furthermore, the time control switch 5 is installed inside the electrical control box of the elevated warehouse shuttle. In a specific implementation, the time control switch 5 is set to turn on at fixed times each day, for example, it can be turned on during the entry and exit times. Depending on the length of the C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rail 1, the opening time of the time control switch 5 can be set to five to eight minutes. During this time, the elevated warehouse shuttle moves back and forth about five times.

[0029] During operation, when the C-type sliding contact line current collector rail 1 needs to be cleaned of toner, the conduction time of the time control switch 5 is set to control the start of the fan 3, making the fan 3 energized. The air coming out of the fan 3 enters the C-type sliding contact line current collector rail 1 through the air collection device 2, which can simultaneously clean the carbon brushes on the lower part of the guide groove and the inner wall of the C-type sliding contact line current collector rail 1, realizing the automatic cleaning function of the sliding contact line current collector rail, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the sliding contact line current collector rail, eliminating the need for manual cleaning, protecting the health of personnel, ensuring the safety of the high-bay warehouse, and ensuring the normal operation of the auxiliary material high-bay warehouse system and the orderly progress of production.

[0030] Furthermore, the air collection device 2 is made of steel plate with a thickness of 0.3mm-0.5mm (e.g., 0.4mm). Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, the air collecting device 2 includes a plurality of air outlet pipes 6, a high-pressure air chamber 7, and a fan connecting column 8 arranged sequentially. The number of air outlet pipes 6 is 4-6, for example, 5. It should be noted that this utility model does not specifically limit the number or distribution of the air outlet pipes 6. The high-pressure air chamber 7 is flat and funnel-shaped. The air outlet of the fan 3 is inserted into the fan connecting column 8, and the fan 3 and the fan connecting column 8 are fitted with an interference fit. Each air outlet pipe 6 is welded to the high-pressure air chamber 7, and the air outlet of each air outlet pipe 6 is aligned with the lower middle bottom of one of the C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rails 1 to blow away the carbon powder accumulated inside the C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rail 1, and also to clean the carbon powder adhering to the guide groove of the C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rail 1. Thus, each C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rail 1 corresponds to one air outlet pipe 6. Based on the principle of constant flow, reducing the size of the air outlet increases the air velocity, providing sufficient airflow to completely blow away the carbon powder in the guide groove of the C-shaped sliding contact line current collector rail 1, thus achieving the design objective. It should be noted that this invention does not specifically limit the structure and materials of the air collecting device 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the fan 3 and the air collection device 2 are connected by a connector 4. Specifically, the connector 4 includes a fastening part and a hook part. The fastening part is made of a steel plate with a thickness of 0.9mm-1.1mm (for example, 1mm) in the shape of a strip, used to connect the air outlet of the fan 3 and the air inlet of the fan connecting column 8. The top end of the fastening part is fixed to the high-bay shuttle car by screws.

[0032] Furthermore, the hook portion is made of steel plate with a width of 28mm-32mm (e.g., 30mm) and a thickness of 1.8mm-2.2mm (e.g., 1mm). The hook portion includes a hook end and a fixed end arranged opposite each other. The hook end is fixed to the fan 3, and the fixed end is fixed to the high-bay shuttle car by screws. It should be noted that this utility model does not specifically limit the structure and material of the connecting part 4.
