[0022] It should be understood that while terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used in this document to describe various elements or features, these elements or features should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one element from another, or one feature from another.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this is one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a handling system 1000, which includes a track module 200 for mounting on a ceiling (not shown) and an overhead hoist transfer (OHT) vehicle 100 movably mounted on the track module 200.

[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the transport system 1000 is described using the aerial transport vehicle 100 in conjunction with the track module 200, but this utility model is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this utility model, the aerial transport vehicle 100 may also be used alone (e.g., for sales) or in conjunction with other components, depending on actual needs.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the track module 200 includes a running track 201 installed on the ceiling and an ion wire power supply 202 installed on the bottom side of the running track 201; that is, the ion wire power supply 202 is suspended below the running track 201.

[0026] It should be noted that although this embodiment is described using the ion wire power supply 202, this is only one possible implementation and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. The ion wire power supply 202 can be any form of non-contact power supply facility, such as, but not limited to, a "non-contact power supply rail," an "inductive power supply line," or other inductive power transmission devices with equivalent functions. Any rail-type power supply device that can provide stable power to the aerial transport vehicle 100 in a non-contact manner (such as electromagnetic induction) should fall within the scope of this utility model.

[0027] More specifically, the traveling track 201 includes a straight track 2011 and a turning track 2012 connected to the straight track 2011, and the ion wire power supply 202 includes two straight power supplies 2021 and one turning power supply 2022. In this embodiment, the two straight power supplies 2021 are two elongated sheet-like structures facing each other, and the two straight power supplies 2021 are installed at intervals on the straight track 2011, while the turning power supply 2022 is an arc-shaped sheet-like structure and is installed on the turning track 2012 (e.g., the turning power supply 2022 is located below the inner part of the turning track 2012), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0028] In this embodiment, the aerial transport vehicle 100 includes a vehicle body 1, two traveling modules 2 mounted at intervals on the top of the vehicle body 1, and a wireless power collector 3 mounted on the top of the vehicle body 1 and located between the two traveling modules 2. Furthermore, the aerial transport vehicle 100 may be configured with other components according to actual needs (e.g., the vehicle body 1 may be further configured with a lifting and lowering module for acquiring a vehicle, and a lateral movement module for moving the acquisition module), which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0029] It should be noted that the two traveling modules 2 are movably mounted on the track module 200 (e.g., the traveling track 201) so that the vehicle body 1 is suspended. Furthermore, the wireless power source 3 includes two lateral power-collecting slots 31, the openings of which face away from each other, and the ion wire power supply 202 passes through at least one of the lateral power-collecting slots 31 without contacting each other.

[0030] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the aerial transport vehicle 100 moves along the straight track 2011, the two straight power supply units 2021 are respectively installed within the two lateral power collection slots 31. Furthermore, as... Figure 6 As shown, when the aerial transport vehicle 100 moves along the steering track 2012, the steering power supply 2022 is installed in one of the adjacent lateral power collection slots 31, thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of mutual interference through the configuration of the wireless power supply 3.

[0031] As described above, in this embodiment, the aerial transport vehicle 100, through the structural design of the wireless power source 3 and its structural cooperation with different components, enables the wireless power source 3 to be located inside the ion wire power supply 202 and electrically coupled to each other, thereby allowing the aerial transport vehicle 100 to obtain power from the ion wire power supply 202 in a non-contact manner through the wireless power source 3 during the movement process.

[0032] Furthermore, the architecture adopted by the aerial transport vehicle 100 in this embodiment (e.g., the wireless power source 3 is installed on the top of the vehicle body 1 and located between the two traveling modules 2) can achieve overall lightweighting and improve maintenance convenience.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to further improve the lightweight and maintenance convenience of the aerial transport vehicle 100, the structural combination between the wireless power supply 3 and the corresponding components can be as described below, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0034] It should be noted that the two traveling modules 2 in this embodiment have a generally similar or symmetrical structure, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the structure of the two traveling modules 2 may vary slightly depending on actual needs. In this embodiment, each traveling module 2 includes a traveling mechanism 21 movably disposed on the track module 200 (e.g., the traveling track 201), and a connecting shaft 22 connecting the traveling mechanism 21 and the vehicle body 1.

[0035] Furthermore, since the connecting shaft 22 of each of the traveling modules 2 does not need to be equipped with any wireless power source, it can have a length L22 between 50 mm and 110 mm, and the connecting shaft 22 has an extension 221 extending out of the bottom edge of the traveling track 201, and the length L221 of the extension 221 can be between 40 mm and 100 mm (that is, the ground clearance of the aerial transport vehicle 100 can be effectively increased by shortening two of the connecting shafts 22 or two of the extensions 221), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0036] Furthermore, the wireless power source 3 is located below the bottom edge of the running track 201 and between the connecting shafts 22 of the two running modules 2. Preferably, the wireless power source 3 does not touch either of the connecting shafts 22. In this embodiment, the two lateral power-collecting slots 31 are respectively located on opposite sides of a projection space S formed by the orthographic projection of one of the connecting shafts 22 toward the other connecting shaft 22, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0037] Furthermore, the specific structure of the wireless power source 3 can be adjusted and changed according to actual needs. However, for ease of understanding, this embodiment will be described in the following content with one of the structures of the wireless power source 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] Specifically, the wireless power source 3 has a generally H-shaped cross-section and includes a base 32, two lateral power-collecting slots 31 located on opposite sides of the base 32, and a transmission line 33 connected to the base 32. The base 32 is located between the two connecting shafts 22, and the two lateral power-collecting slots 31 face away from the base 32. The transmission line 33 is preferably arranged along the projection space S and electrically coupled to the vehicle body 1; that is, the transmission line 33 connects the base 32 and the vehicle body 1, so that the wireless power source 3 is electrically coupled to the vehicle body 1.

[0039] It should be further explained that the aforementioned "electrical coupling" in the non-contact embodiment of this utility model specifically achieves power transmission through electromagnetic coupling. More specifically, its main operating physical principle is inductive coupling.

[0040] In this operating principle, the ion wire power supply 202 can be considered as a "primary-side induction coil," while the wireless power collector 3 corresponds to a "secondary-side induction coil." When an alternating current is applied to the primary-side induction coil (i.e., the ion wire power supply), a time-varying magnetic field is generated around it. When this time-varying magnetic field passes through the secondary-side induction coil (i.e., the wireless power collector), an electromotive force is induced within it according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, thereby driving the current to power the aerial transport vehicle 100, thus achieving a stable and contactless wireless power supply function.

[0041] [Technical Effects of the Embodiments of this Utility Model] In summary, the transport system and aerial transport vehicle disclosed in this utility model embodiment, through the structural design of the wireless power source and its structural cooperation with different components, enable the wireless power source to be located inside the ion wire power supply and electrically coupled to each other, thereby allowing the aerial transport vehicle to obtain power from the ion wire power supply in a non-contact manner through the wireless power source during the movement process.

[0042] Furthermore, the handling system and aerial transport vehicle disclosed in this utility model embodiment adopt an architecture (e.g., a wireless power source is installed on the top of the vehicle body and located between two traveling modules), which can achieve overall lightweighting and improve maintenance convenience.

[0043] The above-disclosed content is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings are included in the patent scope of the present utility model.
