Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated guided transport carts in automated warehouse facilities, and more particularly to a four-way automated guided transport cart that can move, pick up and place items completely automatically on the rail path of a warehouse facility. [Background technology]
[0002] Currently, four-way automatic guided transport carts (Shuttle Carts) are commonly used in automated warehouses, logistics systems, etc., and are capable of moving along rail paths in the X and Y directions and can automatically pick up and place goods. For example, one such cart is disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Taiwan Utility Model No. M629537). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Taiwan Utility Model No. M629537 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Conventional four-way automatic guided transport cart designs often use a sprocket chain transmission mechanism to drive the wheel set. Because the chain itself has elasticity and elongation characteristics, it is easy for slack or displacement errors to occur after long-term operation, making it impossible for the wheel set to rotate precisely synchronously or to travel to the specified position. Frequent tension adjustment and maintenance are required, which increases the time and cost of repair work. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In addition, conventional four-way automated guided transport carts require two sets of independent motors to drive the X-direction wheel set and the Y-direction wheel set, respectively, within the car body to control movement along the rail paths in the X and Y directions. This configuration not only increases hardware complexity and cost, but also requires complex software algorithms and sensors to synchronize the coordinated control between the two sets of motors, which further affects the accuracy of the transport cart's movement and retrieval / placement of goods in a warehouse environment.
[0006] To sum up, conventional four-way automatic guided transport carts commonly suffer from problems such as loose chain transmission, frequent maintenance, and complex dual-motor control. If a full gear transmission mechanism is used instead of sprockets, and a single drive unit is employed to simultaneously control the X and Y direction wheel sets and the lifting mechanism, the stability and control efficiency of the entire mechanism can be greatly improved, and maintenance requirements can be reduced. This is of outstanding technical and practical value to the industry.
[0007] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a four-way automatic guided transport cart that uses a fully geared drive design, avoiding the problems of chain and sprocket drive systems that require frequent adjustment, calibration, and maintenance, reducing the frequency of maintenance and ensuring stable operation over long periods of time. Furthermore, a special lifting mechanism is designed so that the transport cart can be switched between X- and Y-direction movement, and the lifting mechanism can also be used to lift cargo for loading or unloading.
[0008] A secondary objective of this invention is to provide a four-way automatic guided transport cart that, through the design of various sensing modules and wireless charging modules, can automatically sense the weight of luggage, automatically move to a fixed point for loading or unloading, detect whether the luggage is correctly positioned on the vehicle, avoid collisions with other transport carts, sense surrounding objects, and automatically charge.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned main objective, the present invention proposes a four-way automatic guided transport cart that can be installed on a rail route in an automated warehouse facility or other location, and can automatically load and unload goods. The preferred technical solution for this cart includes a car body, two X-direction wheel sets, two lifting mechanisms, two Y-direction wheel sets, a wheel set drive device, and a lifting mechanism drive device.
[0010] The vehicle body is a rectangular vehicle body, and the two X-direction wheel sets are rotatably installed on opposite first sides of the vehicle body, and each X-direction wheel set has at least two X-direction wheels, allowing the vehicle body to move back and forth in the X direction.

At least one opening is provided in the wheel base, and the crankshaft is rotatably installed on the second side of the car body. Each crankshaft has a power input shaft and a power output shaft, the power input shaft extends into the car body, and the power output shaft protrudes from the second side of the car body and abuts against the opening in the wheel base, and the power output shaft is interlocked with the wheel base to move up and down when rotated.
[0012] The two Y-direction wheel sets are respectively rotatably installed on the outside of the wheel mounts of the two lifting mechanisms, and each Y-direction wheel set has at least two Y-direction wheels, and the wheel mounts and the Y-direction wheels are capable of descending, so that the Y-direction wheels lift the car body so that the X-direction wheels can be released from the rail path, thereby allowing the car body to move back and forth in the Y direction.
[0013] The wheel set drive device includes a wheel set drive motor, a bidirectional right-angle transmission box, a first gear transmission mechanism, and a second gear transmission mechanism. The wheel set drive motor is fixed within the vehicle body and is used to output power to the bidirectional right-angle transmission box. The bidirectional right-angle transmission box has a first power output shaft and a second power output shaft that operate synchronously. The first power output shaft is interlocked with the first gear transmission mechanism, and the second power output shaft is interlocked with the second gear transmission mechanism. The first gear transmission mechanism is synchronously interlocked to rotate both X-direction wheel sets, and the second gear transmission mechanism is synchronously interlocked to rotate both Y-direction wheel sets.
[0014] The lifting mechanism drive device includes a lifting drive motor and two third gear transmission mechanisms, the lifting drive motor is fixed inside the vehicle body, the third gear transmission mechanisms are installed inside two opposing second sides of the vehicle body, and are respectively connected to the power input shaft of each crankshaft of the vehicle body and the power output shaft of the lifting drive motor, and the lifting drive motor is linked to rotate both third gear transmission mechanisms and each crankshaft, thereby enabling both lifting mechanisms to move up and down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0022] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, the four-way automatic guide transport cart of the present invention is used to install on a rail route in an automated warehouse facility or the like, and can automatically pick up and place goods. In a primary embodiment, the four-way automatic guide transport cart includes a vehicle body 10, two X-direction wheel sets 20, two lifting mechanisms 30, two Y-direction wheel sets 40, a wheel set drive unit 50, and a lifting mechanism drive unit 60.
[0023] 2 and 3, the car body 10 is a rectangular car body assembled from a number of plate pieces, and has an accommodation space 11 inside the car body 10, which is used to mount equipment such as the wheel set drive unit 50 and the lifting mechanism drive unit 60. Specifically, the car body 10 includes a rectangular bottom plate 12, two corresponding first side plates 13, two corresponding second side plates 14, and a top cover 15. The first side plates 13 and the second side plates 14 are connected to the four sides of the rectangular bottom plate 12, so that the accommodation space 11 is continuously formed on the rectangular bottom plate 12, and the top cover 15 covers the accommodation space 11.
[0024] 2 and 4, the two X-direction wheel sets 20 are rotatably installed on the opposing first sides of the car body 10, for example, the two X-direction wheel sets 20 are rotatably installed on the outer surfaces of the two first side plates 13, respectively. Each X-direction wheel set 20 has at least two X-direction wheels 21, and as shown in the figures, it is preferable to have four X-direction wheels 21 on one side. It is sufficient that the car body 10 can move back and forth in the X direction of the rail path by transmitting the power of the wheel set drive device 50 to the two X-direction wheel sets 20.
[0025] 5, 6 and 7, the two lifting mechanisms 30 are respectively installed on opposite second sides of the car body 10, and each lifting mechanism 30 includes a wheel base 31, two slide rail modules 32, and at least one crankshaft 33 (one lifting mechanism 30 is shown having both crankshafts 33). The wheel base 31 is assembled to the outer surface of the second side (e.g., second side plate 14) of the car body 10 via the two slide rail modules 32, and is parallel to the second side (second side plate 14) of the car body 10, and at least one opening 311 is provided in the wheel base 31. The slide rail module 32 may be a general linear slide rail, or preferably an encoder-equipped slide rail (a well-known item) equipped with an encoder, which is used to detect the height position of both lifting mechanisms 30 and balance the operation. When loading cargo of the same weight, the encoder-equipped slide rail can be used to detect whether the height position of the load is the same each time or whether there is an imbalance. It is also used to determine whether the operation of the mechanism is abnormal. In the event of an abnormality, the transport cart can be immediately returned for repair and maintenance, preventing it from being stuck in the warehouse facility due to a malfunction. The crankshaft 33 is rotatably installed on the second side of the car body 10 and, as shown in the figure, installed on the second side plate 14. The crankshaft 33 has a power input shaft 331 and a power output shaft 332. The power input shaft 331 extends into the accommodation space 11 of the car body 10 and is used for connection to the lifting mechanism drive device 60. The power output shaft 332 protrudes from the second side of the car body 10 and, as shown in the figure, protrudes from the outer surface of the second side plate 14 and abuts against the opening 311 of the wheel base 31. When the crankshaft 33 is connected to the lifting mechanism drive device 60, the rotating power output shaft 332 can be connected to move the wheel base 31 up and down. When descending, the Y-direction wheel set 40 can be switched to contact the rail path and converted into movement in the Y direction. When ascending, it can be used to lift and unload cargo.
[0026] 2 to 6, the two Y-direction wheel sets 40 are rotatably installed on the outside of the wheel mounts 31 of the two lifting mechanisms 30, respectively, and each Y-direction wheel set 40 has at least two Y-direction wheels 41. The wheel mounts 31 and the Y-direction wheels 41 are capable of descending, and the Y-direction wheels 41 lift the car body 10 above the rail path so that the X-direction wheels 21 can be raised and removed from the rail path, thereby achieving the function of switching the car body 10 to a mode for reciprocating movement in the Y direction, and the car body 10 to a mode for moving in the X or Y direction.
[0027] 5 and 6, the wheel set drive device 50 is used to drive a power source device that moves the vehicle body 10 in the X direction or Y direction, and includes a wheel set drive motor 51, a bidirectional right-angle transmission box 52, a first gear transmission mechanism 53, and a second gear transmission mechanism 54. The wheel set drive motor 51 is fixed in the accommodation space 11 of the vehicle body 10 and is used to output power to the bidirectional right-angle transmission box 52. The bidirectional right-angle transmission box 52 has a first power output shaft and a second power output shaft that rotate synchronously, the first power output shaft interlocking with the first gear transmission mechanism 53, and the second power output shaft interlocking with the second gear transmission mechanism 54. The first gear transmission mechanism 53 is installed inside both first side plates 13 of the vehicle body 10 (in the accommodation space 11) and is synchronously interlocked to rotate both X-direction wheel sets 20. The second gear transmission mechanism 54 is installed in the vehicle body 10 (inside the accommodation space 11) and is synchronously linked to rotate both Y direction wheel sets 40.
[0028] 5 and 6, the lifting mechanism drive device 60 is used to drive a power source device that lifts and lowers both lifting mechanisms 30, and includes a lifting drive motor 61 and two third gear transmission mechanisms 62. The lifting drive motor 61 is fixed within the accommodation space 11 of the vehicle body 10. The third gear transmission mechanisms 62 are installed inside (in the accommodation space 11 of) both second side plates 14 on both opposing second sides of the vehicle body 10, and are respectively connected to the power input shaft 331 of each crankshaft 33 and the power output shaft 332 of the lifting drive motor 61. As a result, the lifting drive motor 61 can link both third gear transmission mechanisms 62 and each crankshaft 33 so that they rotate, thereby enabling both lifting mechanisms 30 to move up and down.
[0029] 5 and 6, a preferred embodiment of the first gear transmission mechanism 53 includes two first gear sets 531 and a first transmission shaft 532. The two first gear sets 531 are respectively installed inside two opposing first side plates 13 of the vehicle body 10. Each first gear set 531 has a number of gears that mesh with each other, at least one of which is connected to the axle of the X-direction wheels 21. In addition, one gear is selected from one of the first gear sets 531 and connected to the first power output shaft of the bidirectional right-angle transmission box 52. Both ends of the first transmission shaft 532 are connected to the two first gear sets 531, so that the two first gear sets 531 are synchronously linked to rotate the X-direction wheels 21 on both first sides of the vehicle body 10, thereby realizing the function of the vehicle body 10 moving back and forth in the X direction.
[0030] 5 and 6, the second gear transmission mechanism 54 preferably includes a second transmission shaft 541, two universal joints 542, and a second gear set 543. The second transmission shaft 541 is installed in the accommodation space 11 of the vehicle body 10, and both ends face the second sides of the vehicle body 10. The two universal joints 542 are respectively connected to both ends of the second transmission shaft 541 and to the axles of the Y-direction wheels 41 on the second sides. The second gear set 543 is made up of two gears that mesh with each other, and is connected to the second power output shaft of the bidirectional right-angle transmission box 52 and the second transmission shaft 541, thereby enabling the wheel set drive motor 51 to be linked so that the Y-direction wheels 41 on the second sides of the vehicle body 10 rotate synchronously. With this design, when the two lifting mechanisms 30 are linked to lower both Y-direction wheel sets 40 (see FIG. 9) and lift the car body 10 and both X-direction wheel sets 20 to remove from the rail path, it is possible to move in the Y direction using both Y-direction wheel sets 40 when switching the running direction from the X direction to the Y direction. Conversely, when the two lifting mechanisms 30 are linked to lift both Y-direction wheel sets 40 again to return them to their original positions (see FIG. 8), it is possible to lower both X-direction wheel sets 20 so that they come into contact with the rail path in order to move in the X direction.
[0031] 5 and 6, in a preferred embodiment, each of the third gear transmission mechanisms 62 of the lifting mechanism drive device 60 includes a number of gears 621 that mesh with each other, and at least one of the gears 621 is connected to the power input shaft 331 of the crankshaft 33. The lifting mechanism drive device 60 further includes a third transmission shaft 63 and a fourth gear set 64. Both ends of the third transmission shaft 63 are connected to the gears 621 of each of the third gear transmission mechanisms 62, and the fourth gear set 64 includes two gears that mesh with each other and is connected to the power output shaft 332 of the lifting drive motor 61 and the third transmission shaft 63. As a result, the lifting drive motor 61 synchronously links the third gear transmission mechanisms 62 on both second sides of the vehicle body 10 via the fourth gear set 64 and the third transmission shaft 63, thereby causing the lifting mechanisms 30 to lift synchronously.
[0032] As shown in Fig. 7, a preferred embodiment of the crankshaft 33 has a crank 333, and the power input shaft 331 is connected to one surface of the crank 333 near one end, and the power output shaft 332 is connected to the other surface of the crank 333 near the other end. A bearing 334 is further fitted onto the power output shaft 332, so that the circumference of the bearing 334 abuts against the opening 311 of the wheel base 31 (see Fig. 8). Therefore, when the crankshaft 33 is coupled by the third gear transmission mechanism 62, the bearing 334 is pressed against the opening 311 of the wheel base 31, thereby lifting and lowering both the lifting mechanisms 30 and the Y-direction wheel set 40 (see Figs. 8 and 9). In this invention, the structure of the crankshaft 33 and the bearing 334 of the power output shaft 332 allows the wheel base 31 to be smoothly supported and pushed during operation, preventing the risk of cargo shifting or falling due to vibration.
[0033] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , a preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes two loading platforms 70, which are respectively installed on the first sides of the car body 10 and parallel to the first sides. The preferred embodiment of the loading platform 70 includes two optical axis guide rail units 71, a lower platform 72, two digital weight sensing modules 73, and an upper platform 74. The optical axis guide rail units 71 are fixed to the inside of the first side panels 13 of the car body 10 and are used to guide the lower platform 72 when it is raised or lowered. The lower surfaces of the adjacent ends of the lower platform 72 are fixed to the upper ends of the optical axes of the optical axis guide rail units 71. The digital weight sensing modules 73 are existing sensing modules, respectively fixed to the adjacent ends of the lower platform 72. The lower surfaces of the adjacent ends of the upper platform 74 are fixed to the digital weight sensing modules 73. 10, when the wheel bases 31 of the two lifting mechanisms 30 are raised, the upper ends of the wheel bases 31 can lift up both ends of the two loading and unloading platforms 70. Therefore, when used for loading or unloading cargo, the wheel bases 31 can be moved below the cargo pallet, and the cargo and pallet are lifted up to remove them from the loading and unloading platform, and then the two lifting mechanisms 30 are lowered, leaving the cargo and pallet on the loading and unloading platforms 70 on the vehicle body 10 for transport. Conversely, the cargo and pallet can be lifted up and then placed on the loading and unloading platform, realizing the function of automatic loading and unloading.
[0034] 2 and 3, in order to fully automate the present invention, a preferred embodiment further includes a vehicle body positioning and sensing module 100, at least three cargo sensing modules 200, two loading platform sensing modules 300, two-receptive radar 400, a rechargeable battery 500, a wireless charging module 600, and a main controller 700. The vehicle body positioning and sensing module 100 is fixed on the rectangular bottom plate 12 of the vehicle body 10 and is used to read barcodes according to the rail path below the vehicle body 10 through holes in the rectangular bottom plate 12, thereby finding the predetermined position where the vehicle is to stop. The multiple cargo sensing modules 200 are fixed in the receiving space 11 of the vehicle body 10 and pass upward through holes in the lower platform 72 and the upper platform 74, The radars 400 are fixed to opposite corners of the vehicle body 10 and are used to detect obstacles, fallen objects, or other transport carts around the vehicle body 10. For example, if an obstacle is present, the vehicle can automatically park and avoid collisions. The rechargeable battery 500 is installed within the vehicle body 10 and supplies power to the four-way automatic guided transport cart. The wireless charging module 600 is installed at the bottom of the rectangular bottom plate 12 of the vehicle body 10 and is used to communicate with other wireless charging modules on the rail path below for charging. In addition, the main controller 700 is installed in the vehicle body 10 and performs integrated control of the operation of the four-way automatic guided transport cart. [Explanation of symbols]
