Opening shuttle

Abstract

A lid-opening shuttle car is disclosed for opening the lid of a transport container. The shuttle car includes a movable carrier, a movable mechanism, and a lid-opening mechanism. The movable carrier is for moving along a track in a first direction. The movable mechanism is disposed on the movable carrier and is movable relative to the movable carrier in a second direction and rotatable along an axis, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction. The lid-opening mechanism is disposed on the movable mechanism and is configured to move the lid-opening mechanism from a ready position to an open position. This lid-opening shuttle car solves the problems of high cost and space occupation of traditional lid-opening devices.

Claims

1. A lid-opening shuttle car for opening the lid of a transport container, comprising: a movable carrier for moving along a track in a first direction; a movable mechanism disposed on the movable carrier, the movable mechanism being movable relative to the movable carrier in a second direction and rotatable about an axis, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction; and a lid-opening mechanism disposed on the movable mechanism, wherein... The movable mechanism is configured to move the lid-opening mechanism from a ready position to an open position.

2. The opening shuttle as described in claim 1, wherein the movable mechanism includes a linear motion module and a robotic arm, the linear motion module being disposed on the mobile carrier, the linear motion module being configured to enable the robotic arm to move relative to the mobile carrier along the second direction, the robotic arm being configured to rotate along the axis, and the opening mechanism being disposed on the robotic arm.

3. The opening shuttle as described in claim 2, wherein the robotic arm is configured to move the opening mechanism relative to the mobile carrier along a third direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

4. The opening shuttle as described in claim 2, wherein the linear motion module includes a slide rail, a cylinder and a support, the slide rail is disposed on the top surface of the moving vehicle and extends along the second direction, the robotic arm is disposed on the support, the support is slidably disposed on the slide rail, and the cylinder is poweredly connected to the support.

5. The cover-opening shuttle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the movable mechanism is configured to move the cover-opening mechanism from the ready position at a first end in the second direction to the open position at the first end, and is configured to move the cover-opening mechanism from the ready position at a second end in the second direction to the open position at the second end.

6. The opening shuttle as described in claim 1 further includes a camera module disposed on the movable mechanism.

7. The cover-opening shuttle as described in claim 1 further includes a rangefinder disposed on the cover-opening mechanism, the rangefinder being used to measure the distance between the cover-opening mechanism and the cover.

8. The cover-opening shuttle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover-opening mechanism includes a clamping member and a rotating member, the clamping member being used to clamp the cover and the rotating member being connected to the clamping member to rotate the cover.

9. The opening shuttle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the movable mechanism is configured to move the opening mechanism from the opening position to a lid-laying position, and from the lid-laying position to a lid-locking position.
