Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent warehousing technology, and more specifically, to a four-way shuttle vehicle with multi-vehicle adaptability. Background Technology
[0002] Four-way shuttles are automated logistics equipment widely used in smart warehousing. They run between three-dimensional racks via a track system, supporting four-way travel, cross-aisle operations, and multi-level layer changes. They have the core advantages of high-density storage, flexible scheduling, and efficient operation. Their main components are a drive and navigation system, a fork structure, and an intelligent scheduling system.
[0003] In smart warehousing, different pallet sizes require different carriers for individual four-way shuttles to transport them. Global standard pallet sizes coexist with enterprise-defined sizes, potentially leading to inconsistencies in compatibility. Current common solutions involve manual replacement or intelligent identification, but these methods suffer from inefficiencies and inconsistencies between identification signals and subsequent mechanical adjustments, resulting in situations where structural adjustments fail to achieve the desired compatibility. Therefore, we propose a multi-carrier compatible four-way shuttle. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a four-way shuttle vehicle with multi-vehicle adaptability to solve the technical problem of low vehicle adaptability of current four-way shuttle vehicles.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a four-way shuttle vehicle with multi-vehicle adaptation, including a vehicle body structure and a connected vehicle adaptation structure. The vehicle adaptation structure includes an adjustment box, which contains several linkage plates. The adjustment box also contains a horizontal positioning plate, which has an adjustment plate corresponding to the linkage plate. A vertical connecting plate is provided on the side of the adjustment plate away from the linkage plate. The vertical connecting plate has a side lifting plate and its corresponding positioning cylinder. A lifting rod located on the adjustment box is connected inside the positioning cylinder, and a guide block penetrating the adjustment box is connected to the lifting rod.
[0006] Preferably, a crossbar is provided between the plurality of linkage plates, a positioning shaft with a torsion spring structure is provided at the connection between the linkage plate and the crossbar, and a guide wheel is provided on the side of the linkage plate away from the adjustment plate.
[0007] Preferably, the linkage plate is bent based on the positioning shaft, and the adjustment box is provided with a vertical groove for the movement of the linkage plate. The side of the linkage plate near the adjustment plate passes through the vertical groove and contacts the top of the adjustment plate. The corresponding contact positions of the linkage plate and the adjustment plate are respectively provided with a pressure-reducing plate one and a pressure-reducing plate two for reducing friction.
[0008] Preferably, the middle part of the adjusting plate is raised in a position corresponding to the horizontal positioning plate, and a bearing is connected between its bottom and the horizontal positioning plate. The adjusting plate rotates in cooperation with the linkage plate based on the bearing.
[0009] Preferably, the vertical connecting plate is located on both sides of the adjusting plate, and its side away from the adjusting plate is connected to the side cantilever plate. The outer two sides of the positioning cylinder are provided with limiting wheel plates corresponding to the side cantilever plates, and the middle part of the positioning cylinder is provided with a through hole structure for the lifting rod to pass through.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting rod consists of a fixed rod connected to the adjusting box and a sleeve fitted on the fixed rod. The top of the sleeve is connected to a guide block, and the bottom of the sleeve contacts the top of the positioning cylinder. Several guide blocks are fixed together by a horizontal plate located at their bottom.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model, through its vehicle adaptation structure, utilizes a linkage plate, an adjustment plate, and guide blocks to ensure that before the vehicle body enters the bottom of the vehicle for transport, it first contacts the vehicle via the linkage plate. Then, the adjustment plate's height is adjusted according to the linkage plate's angle, and the height of the lifting rod and the guide block connected to its top are adjusted accordingly. This allows for the operation of guide blocks of different heights corresponding to vehicles of different heights, ultimately adapting to vehicles of different specifications. This adaptation method employs mechanized operation, eliminating the need for electrical control, ensuring operational stability, and reducing the problems of poor adaptation and low efficiency caused by electrical control or manual operation. It solves the technical problem of low adaptation efficiency in current four-way shuttle vehicle systems.
[0012] 2. This utility model also features several linkage plates that prioritize contact with the bottom of the external vehicle. Based on the different bottom specifications of different vehicles, this ensures that after the linkage plates contact the bottom of vehicles of different specifications, different height adjustments can be achieved using adjusting plates and guide blocks. This ensures that when the linkage plates are in a depressed state, the guide blocks are in a raised state until the vehicle is unloaded or replaced, reducing the occurrence of abnormal situations such as automatic falling during transportation and providing high stability.
[0013] 3. This utility model also uses a linkage plate to drive the movement of the adjustment plate, thereby driving the movement of the vertical connecting plate connected to one side of the adjustment plate. The vertical connecting plate, based on the side cantilever plate, obliquely lifts the limiting wheel plates on both sides of the positioning cylinder. Since it has no fixed structure, it achieves the horizontal movement of the positioning cylinder based on the lifting rod, thereby achieving the purpose of horizontally adjusting the guide block.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model relates to a four-way shuttle vehicle with multi-vehicle adaptation, including a vehicle body structure 100 and a connected vehicle adaptation structure 200. The vehicle adaptation structure 200 includes an adjustment box 210, which contains a plurality of linkage plates 220 and a horizontal positioning plate 201. The horizontal positioning plate 201 has an adjustment plate 260 corresponding to the linkage plates 220. A vertical connecting plate 261 is provided on the side of the adjustment plate 260 away from the linkage plates 220. The vertical connecting plate 261 has a side cantilever plate 264 and a corresponding positioning cylinder 262. A lifting rod 270 located on the adjustment box 210 is connected inside the positioning cylinder 262. A guide block 280 penetrating the adjustment box 210 is connected to the lifting rod 270.
[0017] This utility model, through the provision of a vehicle adaptation structure 200, utilizes the coordinated operation of a linkage plate 220, an adjusting plate 260, and a guide block 280. Before the vehicle body structure 100 enters the bottom of the vehicle for transport, it first contacts the vehicle via the linkage plate 220. Then, the adjustment angle of the linkage plate 220 adjusts the height of the adjusting plate 260. Finally, the height of the lifting rod 270 and the guide block 280 connected to its top are adjusted in conjunction with the height of the adjusting plate 260. This allows for the operation of guide blocks 280 of different heights corresponding to vehicles of different heights, ultimately adapting to vehicles of different specifications. This adaptation method employs mechanized operation, eliminating the need for electrical control, ensuring operational stability, and reducing the problems of poor adaptation and low efficiency caused by electrical control or manual operation. It solves the technical problem of low adaptation efficiency in current four-way shuttle vehicle systems.
[0018] This utility model also features several linkage plates 220 that prioritize contact with the bottom of external vehicles. Based on the different bottom specifications of different vehicles, this ensures that after the linkage plates 220 contact the bottom of vehicles of different specifications, different height adjustments can be achieved using the adjusting plate 260 and guide block 280. This ensures that when the linkage plates 220 are in a depressed state, the guide block 280 is in a raised state until the vehicle is unloaded or replaced, reducing the occurrence of abnormal situations such as automatic falling during transportation and providing high stability.
[0019] Specifically, a crossbar 240 is provided between several linkage plates 220, and a positioning shaft 230 with a torsion spring structure is provided at the connection between the linkage plate 220 and the crossbar 240. A guide wheel 250 is provided on the side of the linkage plate 220 away from the adjusting plate 260. The crossbar 240 fixes the relative positions of several linkage plates 220, which facilitates their position adjustment based on the positioning shaft 230. The torsion spring structure in the positioning shaft 230 facilitates quick return operation after the linkage plate 220 is compressed, which is convenient for the next use. The guide wheel 250 is easy to install because it can reduce friction at the contact position when external equipment comes into contact, thus reducing the wear of the linkage plate 220.
[0020] Furthermore, the linkage plate 220 is bent based on the positioning shaft 230. The adjustment box 210 is provided with a vertical groove for the movement of the linkage plate 220. The side of the linkage plate 220 near the adjustment plate 260 passes through the vertical groove and contacts the top of the adjustment plate 260. The corresponding contact positions of the linkage plate 220 and the adjustment plate 260 are respectively provided with a pressure-reducing plate 221 and a pressure-reducing plate 263 to reduce friction. The bent design facilitates the overall angle adjustment of the linkage plate 220. At the same time, the vertical groove ensures that the plate of the linkage plate 220 near the adjustment plate 260 can pass through the vertical groove and cooperate with the adjustment plate 260 to achieve the purpose of adjusting and driving the adjustment plate 260 to move. The pressure-reducing plate 263 and the pressure-reducing plate 221 are respectively provided between the adjustment plate 260 and the linkage plate 220. They are made of rubber to reduce the collision between the adjustment plate 260 and the linkage plate 220 and prevent wear and tear during long-term use.
[0021] It is worth noting that the middle part of the adjusting plate 260 is raised in the position corresponding to the horizontal positioning plate 201, and a bearing is connected between its bottom and the horizontal positioning plate 201. The adjusting plate 260 rotates in cooperation with the linkage plate 220 based on the bearing. When the top of the horizontal positioning plate 201 supports the adjusting plate 260, the linkage plate 220 drives the adjusting plate 260 to move, thereby achieving the purpose of horizontal adjustment, and thus realizing the position adjustment of the vertical connecting plate 261 and the positioning cylinder 262.
[0022] It is worth mentioning that the vertical connecting plate 261 is located on both sides of the adjusting plate 260, and its side away from the adjusting plate 260 is connected to the side cantilever plate 264. The outer sides of the positioning cylinder 262 are provided with limiting wheel plates corresponding to the side cantilever plate 264. The middle part of the positioning cylinder 262 is provided with a through hole structure for the lifting rod 270 to pass through.
[0023] This utility model uses a linkage plate 220 to drive the movement of an adjustment plate 260, which in turn drives the movement of a vertical connecting plate 261 connected to one side of the adjustment plate 260. The vertical connecting plate 261, based on the side cantilever plate 264, obliquely lifts the limiting wheel plates on both sides of the positioning cylinder 262. Since it has no fixed structure, it achieves the horizontal movement of the positioning cylinder 262 based on the lifting rod 270, thereby achieving the purpose of horizontally adjusting the guide block 280.
[0024] It is worth noting that the lifting rod 270 consists of a fixed rod connected to the adjusting box 210 and a sleeve sleeved on the fixed rod. The top of the sleeve is connected to the guide block 280, and the bottom of the sleeve contacts the top of the positioning cylinder 262. Several guide blocks 280 are fixed together by a horizontal plate located at their bottom. The positioning cylinder 262 moves up and down, driving the sleeve on the lifting rod 270 to move, thereby driving the guide block 280 on the sleeve to move. This allows the top of the guide block 280 to penetrate the adjusting box 210 and restrict the position of the vehicle on top of it. Ultimately, this achieves the purpose of matching different guide block 280 heights according to the specifications of different vehicles, thus achieving the purpose of multi-vehicle adaptation.
[0025] Working principle: This embodiment provides a four-way shuttle vehicle that adapts to multiple vehicles. When in use, when the vehicle body structure 100 is driven to the bottom of the vehicle, the guide wheel 250 on the linkage plate 220 first contacts the bottom of the vehicle, causing the linkage plate 220 to rotate based on the positioning shaft 230, so that the guide wheel 250 can be located at the bottom of the vehicle. At this time, the side of the linkage plate 220 near the adjustment plate 260 presses down on the adjustment plate 260 based on the horizontal positioning plate 201, causing the side of the adjustment plate 260 near the lifting rod 270 to drive the sleeve on the lifting rod 270 to move upward. The sleeve drives the guide block 280 to move upward through the adjustment box 210 until the guide block 280 is fixed in the bottom slot of the vehicle, thus completing the fixing operation.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations.
