In order to facilitate the movement of the shuttle car 100, a support rail 210 for the movement of the shuttle car 100 is provided on each of the sides of the two adjacent racks 200 facing the shuttle car 100, and the shuttle car 100 moves in the tunnel 400 through the support rail 210 so as to realize the movement of the shuttle car 100 in the tunnel 400.

It should be noted that a plurality of support rails 210 may be disposed on the shelf 200, and the plurality of support rails 210 are disposed in parallel in the horizontal direction of the shelf 200 and are uniformly distributed at different vertical heights of the shelf 200. That is, the rack 200 may be provided with the above-described support rail 210 on each floor, so that the shuttle 100 may move on any floor of the rack 200, thereby enabling the transportation of the goods 500 at any position on the rack 200.

Accordingly, the bottom of the shuttle 100 may be provided with a drive device 50 adapted to the support rail 210. So that the shuttle 100 can be moved on the support rails 210 by the driving device 50.

Illustratively, the driving device 50 may be a driving wheel or other driving structure that can be adapted to the supporting track 210. The drive wheels may be mounted at the bottom of the four corners of the shuttle 100. The number of drive wheels may be 4, 6 or 8, etc. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the structure and the number of the driving devices 50 are not further limited.

Further, in order to realize the transfer of the cargo 500, referring to fig. 1 to 4, the handling system 600 may further include a transfer device 300 for transferring the cargo 500. It should be noted that transfer device 300 may have different heights to interface shuttle car 100 on different levels of rack 200 to allow the unloading and loading of cargo 500 on shuttle car 100 without changing the position of shuttle car 100.

As can be seen from fig. 1 to 4, the transfer device 300 may include a transfer rack 310 and a push-pull assembly 320, and the push-pull assembly 320 may be disposed on the transfer rack 310 and may move relative to the transfer rack 310 to move the goods 500 on the shuttle car 100 onto the transfer rack 310 or move the goods 500 on the transfer rack 310 onto the shuttle car 100 to move the goods 500, such as bins, between the shuttle car 100 and the transfer rack 310, thereby performing unloading and loading operations of the goods 500.

It should be noted that the conveying rack 310 is further provided with a conveying belt for conveying the goods 500, and the goods 500 can be moved between the shuttle car 100 and the conveying belt under the pushing and pulling action of the pushing and pulling assembly 320.

The push-pull assembly 320 may include a telescopic rod 330 and a push-pull plate 340, and the push-pull plate 340 may be disposed at a free end of the telescopic rod 330, and may be telescopically fixed on the transmission frame 310 via the telescopic rod 330, and is located above the transmission belt, so that the push-pull plate 340 may extend to a side or an end of the cargo 500 on the shuttle 100 via the telescopic rod 330, and the cargo 500 may be moved between the shuttle 100 and the transmission belt of the transmission frame 310 by the push-pull action of the push-pull plate 340.

As a possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the transfer rack 310 may be disposed at an end of the shelf 200 in an extending direction of the shelf 200. That is, the transport frame 310 may be located at a side of the shuttle 100, i.e., the transport frame 310 may be located alongside the shuttle 100. The push-pull assembly 340 is located on the side of the shuttle 100. The push-pull plate 340 can extend to the side of the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 away from the transport frame 310 through the telescopic rod 330, and the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 can be pulled onto the transport belt of the transport frame 310 through the push-pull plate 340 as the telescopic rod 330 retracts, so as to achieve the unloading operation on the shuttle car 100. Conversely, when the cargo 500 is transferred from the conveyor belt to the shuttle car 100, the push-pull plate 340 may extend to the side of the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 close to the conveying frame 310 through the telescopic rod 330, and the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 is pushed onto the conveyor belt through the push-pull plate 340 as the telescopic rod 330 extends. In this way, a plurality of loads 500 can be loaded and unloaded at one time by the push-pull unit 320, and the carrying efficiency of the carrying system 600 can be improved.

Alternatively, as another possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the transmission rack 310 may also be disposed at an end of the tunnel 400 along the extending direction of the tunnel 400. That is, the transmission frame 310 may be aligned with the shuttle car 100 in the extending direction of the roadway, that is, the transmission frame 310 may also be located at the end of the shuttle car 100 along the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11 on the shuttle car 100. The push-pull assembly 340 is located at the end of the shuttle car 100 along the direction of the arrangement of the cargo space 11. The push-pull plate 340 can extend to the end of the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 away from the transport frame 310 through the telescopic rod 330, and the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 can be pulled onto the transport belt of the transport frame 310 through the push-pull plate 340 as the telescopic rod 330 retracts, so as to achieve the unloading operation on the shuttle car 100. In contrast, when the cargo 500 is transferred from the conveyor belt to the shuttle car 100, the push-pull plate 340 may extend to an end of the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 near the transport frame 310 through the telescopic rod 330, and the cargo 500 on the shuttle car 100 is pushed onto the conveyor belt of the transport frame 310 through the push-pull plate 340 as the telescopic rod 330 is extended. In this way, the push-pull unit 320 can load and unload a plurality of loads 500 at a time, and the carrying efficiency of the carrying system 600 can be improved.

The shuttle 100 is provided with a power mechanism such as the pickup device 40. When the two arrangements of the transporting frame 310 and the shuttle 100 are adopted, the goods 500 can be transferred to the transporting frame 310 by the power mechanism.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the present embodiment does not constitute a specific limitation to the structure of the handling system 600. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the handling system 600 may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or a different arrangement of components.

The structure of the shuttle 100 of the handling system 600 in this embodiment is further explained below.

Example one

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a first shuttle provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a second shuttle provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a third shuttle provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, the disclosed embodiment provides a shuttle car 100, which may include a car body 10 and a goods taking device 40, wherein the car body 10 has a plurality of goods spaces 11 for placing goods 500 thereon, and the plurality of goods spaces 11 are arranged along the traveling direction of the car body 10. That is, the cargo space 11 may be arranged on the vehicle body 10 on the surface of the vehicle body 10 along the traveling direction of the vehicle body 10. The pickup device 40 may be located on the vehicle body 10 for moving the cargo 500. Specifically, the picking device 40 can move the goods 500 on the shelf 200 to the goods space 11, or move the goods 500 on the goods space 11 to the shelf 200. In this way, when the shuttle car 100 is in one-time operation, the goods 500 can be placed on the car body 10 through the goods taking device 40, so that the goods 500 can be conveyed in one-time operation, the conveying efficiency of the shuttle car 100 can be improved, and the energy consumption loss of the shuttle car 100 in the back-and-forth operation in the roadway 400 can be reduced.

It should be noted that the traveling direction of the vehicle body 10 may be understood as the moving direction of the shuttle 100 in the tunnel 400. A plurality of cargo spaces 11 may be horizontally arranged on the vehicle body 10 along the traveling direction of the vehicle body 10.

The body 10 may be understood to be other structures of the shuttle 100 besides the pickup device 40. As seen in fig. 5-7, vehicle body 10 may include a frame 20 and a support assembly 30 positioned within frame 20. The cargo 500 is placed on the cargo space 11, and the support assembly 30 is movable relative to the frame 20 to move the cargo 500 from one cargo space 11 to another cargo space 11. Thus, when the goods 500 are moved from the designated position of the shelf 200 to the goods location 11 by the goods taking device 40, the goods 500 can be moved to another goods location 11 (i.e. the next goods location 11 or the last goods location 11) under the driving of the supporting component 30, so that the transportation of a plurality of goods 500 in one operation of the shuttle car 100 is realized, the transportation efficiency of the shuttle car 100 is improved, the number of times of the shuttle car 100 running back and forth in the tunnel 400 can be reduced while the same transportation task is carried out, and the energy consumption loss is reduced.

The bottom of the vehicle body 10 may further be provided with a driving device 50, and the driving device 50 may be disposed in four corner regions of the bottom of the vehicle frame 20 so as to cooperate with the supporting rails 210 on the shelves 200 to drive the shuttle 100 to move in the roadway 400. Specifically, reference may be made to the above description of the driving device 50, which is not further described in this embodiment.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the present embodiment does not constitute a specific limitation on the structure of the shuttle car 100. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, shuttle 100 may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or a different arrangement of components.

In particular, the cargo space 11 may include at least one pick-and-place space 111 and at least one cache space 112. That is, the vehicle body 10 has at least 2 cargo spaces 11, one of which is a pick-and-place space 111 and the other is a buffer space 112. The pick-and-place position 111 is disposed opposite to the picking device 40 so that the goods 500 carried by the picking device 40 can be placed in the pick-and-place position 111. The buffer bit 112 may be located on at least one side of the pick-and-place bit 111. That is, the buffer bit 112 may be located at one side of the pick-and-place bit 111 (as shown in fig. 5). Alternatively, when there are a plurality of the pick-and-place locations 111, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the buffer location 112 may also be located between two adjacent pick-and-place locations 111. When the goods 500 in the pick-and-place position 111 need to be picked again, the goods 500 can be moved to the buffer position 112 by the supporting component 30, so as to facilitate the next picking of the goods by the picking device 40. By arranging the buffer position 112 and the pick-and-place position 111, the shuttle car 100 can carry a plurality of cargos 500 in one-time operation, so that the carrying efficiency of the shuttle car 100 is greatly improved.

When the number of the pick-and-place locations 111 is 2, the pick-and-place locations 111 may be oppositely disposed on the vehicle body 10. That is, access locations 111 may be located at opposite ends of body 10, which facilitates access of shuttle 100 to cargo 500 from opposite ends of rack 200.

As a possible embodiment, the pick-and-place station 111 and the buffer station 112 may be arranged on the vehicle body 10 along a horizontal line. That is, a plurality of cargo spaces 11 may be arranged in a line on the vehicle body 10. This can facilitate the movement of the goods 500 between the pick-and-place station 111 and the buffer station 112.

Specifically, in order to realize the arrangement of a plurality of cargo spaces 11 on the vehicle body 10, the vehicle body 10 may be a fixed vehicle body. Accordingly, frame 20 and support assembly 30 may be a fixed structure. Or the vehicle body 10 may be a retractable vehicle body. Accordingly, frame 20 and support assembly 30 may also be of a telescoping construction. Therefore, the structure of the shuttle car 100 is more diversified, the adaptability is wide, and the requirements of different storage systems can be met.

Specifically, the support assembly 30 may include a plurality of support units, a plurality of support groups may be arranged on the frame 20 along a horizontal line, and each support unit may correspond to a different cargo space 11. The multiple support groups may be of the same or different configurations. This can make the structure of the shuttle 100 more diversified.

When the supporting units have the same structure, the supporting units may be integrated into a whole structure, or the supporting units may be detachably connected.

Further, the supporting unit may include at least one of a fixed supporting unit 31 and a driven supporting unit 32. This allows for a greater variety of configurations of the support assembly 30 and shuttle 100 while allowing for the support of the cargo 500 and the movement of the cargo 500 from one cargo space 11 to another cargo space 11.

The structure of the shuttle 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure will be further explained by taking the fixed vehicle body 10 and the fixed support unit 31 as an example.

As shown in fig. 5 to 7, the fixed supporting unit 31 may be a tray, a supporting plate, or other supporting structure capable of placing the cargo 500.

Specifically, when the supporting unit is the fixed supporting unit 31, in order to drive the goods 500 from one goods space 11 (e.g., the pick-and-place space 111) to another goods space 11 (e.g., the buffer space 112), referring to fig. 5 to 7, the fixed supporting unit 31 may further include first push rods 35 disposed on opposite sides of the vehicle body 10, and the first push rods 35 may move along the arrangement direction of the goods spaces 11 with respect to the vehicle body 10 to drive the goods 500 to move from one goods space 11 to another goods space 11 (i.e., move between different goods spaces 11), so that the goods taking device 40 continues to take the goods from the rack 200 to the pick-and-place space 111, thereby achieving the transportation of a plurality of goods 500 when the shuttle 100 is transported once, and further improving the transportation efficiency of the shuttle 100.

Further, the first push rod 35 may be slidably connected to the vehicle body 10. Or the first push rods 35 may be provided on opposite sides of the vehicle body 10 through a telescopic structure such as a telescopic rod or the like. Alternatively, the first push rod 35 may be connected to the vehicle body 10 in other ways to achieve the movement of the first push rod 35 relative to the vehicle body 10. The first push rods 35 are thus slidable on opposite sides of the vehicle body 10 to effect movement of the cargo 500 from one cargo space 11 to another cargo space 11.

To facilitate the sliding of the first push rod 35, sliding rails 113 for the sliding of the first push rod 35 may be disposed on two opposite sides of the vehicle body 10, and the first push rod 35 may be engaged with the sliding rails 113 through a slider 351, so as to facilitate the movement of the first push rod 35 relative to the vehicle body 10. Correspondingly, the first push rod 35 may be hinged to the slider 351, so that when the cargo 500 needs to be moved, the first push rod 35 may rotate relative to the slider 351 and is located in the cargo space 11 and acts on the same side of the cargo 500 (as shown in the state of the first push rod 35 in fig. 5 to 7), and then the cargo 500 is driven to move from one cargo space 11 to another cargo space 11 under the pushing and pulling actions of the first push rod 35. When the cargo 500 does not need to be moved, the first push rod 35 can rotate relative to the slider 351 to a direction perpendicular to the vehicle body 10 (i.e., the first push rod 35 is folded vertically) to avoid the first push rod 35 from blocking the cargo 500.

For example, the first push rod 35 may be an electric push rod, so that the movement of the first push rod 35 relative to the vehicle body 10 can be automatically controlled to realize the automatic conveying operation of the shuttle car 100.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 to 7, when the pickup device 40 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10, the pickup device 40 may be located at an end of the vehicle body 10. That is, one or two pickup devices 40 may be provided on the vehicle body 10, and when there are two pickup devices 40, the two pickup devices 40 may be provided at both ends of the vehicle body 10 to be opposite to each other, so that the pickup can be performed from both ends of the vehicle body 10, thereby further improving the carrying efficiency of the shuttle 100.

Wherein the cargo space 11 may be located at a side of the pickup device 40. Accordingly, when a pickup device 40 is provided on the vehicle body 10, the cargo space 11 may be located on one side of the pickup device 40. Alternatively, when two pickers 40 are provided on the body 10, the cargo space 11 may be located between the two pickers 40. In this way, the pick-and-place positions 111 may be correspondingly located at one end or both ends of the vehicle body 10 and within the moving range of the goods taking device 40, and the buffer position 112 may be located at one side of the pick-and-place positions 111 or between two adjacent pick-and-place positions 111, so that the goods 500 on the pick-and-place positions 111 may be moved to the buffer position 112 to facilitate the further picking of the shuttle 100.

The picking device 40 may include a picking assembly 41, wherein the picking assembly 41 acts on the goods 500 and is movable between the vehicle body 10 and the rack 200 to carry the goods 500, thereby realizing the transfer of the goods 500 between the rack 200 and the shuttle 100.

Further, the goods taking device 40 may further include a retractable assembly 42 disposed on the vehicle body 10, the goods taking assembly 41 is disposed on a side of the retractable assembly 42 facing the goods space 11, and the goods taking assembly 41 can be driven by the retractable assembly 42 to move between the vehicle body 10 and the goods shelf 200, so as to move the goods 500 between the goods space 11 and the goods shelf 200, thereby realizing the transportation of the goods 500 (and the transportation of the goods 500).

It should be noted that the retractable assembly 42 may include a fixing base 421 and a retractable arm 422, the fixing base 421 is disposed at one end or two ends of the vehicle body 10, and the retractable arm 422 is embedded in the fixing base 421 and slidably connected thereto, and is movable relative to the fixing base 421 along the extending direction of the fixing base 421. Wherein, the extending direction of the fixing seat 421 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11. The goods taking assembly 41 is arranged in the telescopic arm 422 and can move synchronously with the telescopic arm 422, so that the goods taking assembly can move towards the direction of the goods 500 under the driving of the telescopic assembly 42 and act on two opposite sides of the goods 500, and the goods 500 can be taken and placed.

As a possible embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the goods taking assembly 41 may include a first holding arm 411 and a second holding arm 412, and the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 are oppositely disposed on the telescopic assembly 42 to hold on opposite sides of the goods 500. Specifically, the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 may be held in a depth direction of the cargo 500, wherein the depth direction of the cargo 500 may be understood as a direction in which the cargo 500 protrudes toward the cargo when the cargo taking assembly 41 takes the cargo.

To avoid the obstruction of the cargo space 11 on the shuttle 100 by the first and second

gripper arms

411, 412, the first and second

gripper arms

411, 412 may rotate relative to the retractable assembly 42, such that when the cargo 500 is not to be gripped, the first and second

gripper arms

411, 412 may rotate in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle body 10 as shown in fig. 6 to avoid the first and second

gripper arms

411, 412 interfering with the storage of the cargo 500 on the cargo space 11.

It should be noted that the pick-up assembly 41 may further include an actuating member 413 fixed to the telescopic arm 422, wherein the actuating member 413 is used for driving the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 to rotate by a predetermined angle (e.g. 90 degrees) relative to the telescopic assembly 42. Illustratively, the driving member 413 may be a rotating motor or other driving member capable of driving the first and second clamp

arms

411 and 412 to rotate relative to the telescopic assembly 42.

To accommodate the gripping of a variety of different sized loads 500, the first and second

gripper arms

411, 412 are relatively movable on the telescoping assembly 42. Thus, the relative movement of the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 on the telescopic assembly 42 can change the distance between the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 so as to hold the goods 500 with different sizes at two opposite sides, thereby improving the applicability of the goods taking assembly 41 to the goods 500 with different sizes.

Illustratively, a sliding slot 4221 is formed on one side of the retractable assembly 42 facing the cargo space 11, and the first and second holding

arms

arms

411 and 412 may move relatively in the sliding slot 4221. The sliding slot 4221 may be disposed on a side of the telescopic arm 422 facing the cargo space 11. The sliding member 414 may be a sliding block adapted to the sliding slot 4221, and the first and second clamp

arms

411 and 412 and the driving member 413 may be disposed in the sliding slot 4221 of the telescopic arm 422 through the sliding member 414.

As another possible embodiment, referring to fig. 7, the picking assembly 41 may also be a suction cup 415, such that the suction cup 415 can move toward the goods 500 under the driving of the retractable assembly 42 to suck on one side of the goods 500 to move the goods 500 between the shelf 200 and the cargo space 11.

To avoid the suction cup 415 from blocking the cargo space 11 on shuttle 100, suction cup 415 may be movable relative to telescoping assembly 42 such that suction cup 415 may be moved to one side of cargo space 11 (i.e., the left or right side of cargo space 11 as shown in fig. 7). Illustratively, suction cup 415 may be slidably coupled to telescoping assembly 42 via slot 4221 such that suction cup 415 may slidably move to one side of cargo space 11 within slot 4221.

Referring to fig. 8 to 12, a difference from the above embodiment is that the supporting set in this embodiment may be a transmission type supporting unit 32, and the transmission type supporting unit 32 includes a transmission member capable of rotating relative to the frame 20, and the transmission member is used to move the cargo 500 from one cargo space 11 to another cargo space 11. Thus, after one-time goods taking is completed, the goods 500 placed on the pick-and-place position 111 can be moved to the buffer position 112 by the driving of the driving support unit 32, and the pick-and-place position 111 on the shuttle car 100 is left free, so that the next time goods taking is performed by the goods taking device 40.

Illustratively, the transmission member may be a plurality of rollers 321 (shown in fig. 8), a belt 322 (shown in fig. 9), or other transmission support structure that may support the cargo 500, arranged in series on the frame 20. This allows to define a plurality of cargo spaces 11 comprising pick-and-place spaces 111 and buffer spaces 112 on the belt 322 or on the drum 321. In the present embodiment, the structure of the transmission type support unit 32 is not further limited.

It should be noted that the roller 321 may be a motorized roller, so that the goods 500 can be moved to the buffer position 112 by the motorized roller. In this embodiment, the transmission form of the transmission belt 322 and the roller 321 can be referred to the prior art, and in this embodiment, it will not be further described.

Also, the plurality of supporting units may adopt the same or different structures. That is, the shuttle car 100 may be provided with a plurality of the same support units having the same structure, or may be provided with a plurality of support units having different structures. Wherein each support unit may correspond to a cargo space 11 on one shuttle 100. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10 and 12, the support unit within shuttle 100 may be formed by a combination of a belt 322 and a plurality of rollers 321 arranged in series on carriage 20.

Note that, as shown in fig. 8 to 12, the pickup device 40 in the present embodiment may be provided at least one end of the vehicle body 10, as in the first embodiment. The picking assembly 41 in the picking device 40 may also adopt two different structures as described in the first embodiment, namely, the picking assembly 41 with the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 or the picking assembly 41 with the suction cup 415. Reference may be made to the description of the pickup device 40 in the first embodiment, and no further description is provided in this embodiment.

For example, as shown in fig. 8 and 11, the pickup device 40 may be provided at one end of the vehicle body 10, and the transmission members of the shuttle 100 shown in fig. 8 and 11 each employ a roller 321.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a first shuttle provided in a third embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 14 is a schematic structural diagram of a second shuttle provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 15 is a schematic structural diagram of a third shuttle provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of a fourth shuttle provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 17 is a schematic structural diagram of a handling system provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 18 is a top view of the handling system in fig. 17.

On the basis of the first embodiment, the embodiment provides another shuttle vehicle. Referring to fig. 13 to 16, the difference from the first embodiment is that the vehicle body 10 in the present embodiment is a retractable vehicle body, which on one hand facilitates the arrangement of a plurality of cargo spaces 11 on the shuttle 100, and on the other hand improves the flexibility and applicability of the shuttle 100 by changing the retractable structure of the vehicle body 10.

To achieve a telescoping vehicle body, frame 20 and support assembly 30 are each telescoping structures. When the vehicle body 10 is a retractable vehicle body, the same or different configurations may be used for the plurality of support groups.

The shuttle 100 in this embodiment is further described below by taking the support set as the fixed support unit 31 as an example.

Specifically, referring to fig. 13 to 16, the frame 20 may include two fixing frames 21 and at least one connecting frame 22, wherein the connecting frame 22 is connected between the two fixing frames 21 and can be extended or retracted relative to the fixing frames 21, so that the telescopic structure of the frame 20 can be realized by changing the position relationship between the connecting frame 22 and the fixing frames 21.

In order to facilitate the extension or retraction of the connecting frame 22, the connecting frame 22 may be respectively inserted into the two fixing frames 21 and slidably connected to the fixing frames 21, and the connecting frame 22 may be used as the cargo space 11 after extending. The goods space 11 of the shuttle car 100 can be expanded through the connecting frame 22, and meanwhile, the applicability of the shuttle car 100 can be improved, so that the shuttle car can be used in more occasions.

Accordingly, the support assembly 30 may include at least two first support units 33 and at least one second support unit 34, and the second support unit 34 is connected between the two first support units 33 and may be in an extended or retracted state with respect to the first support units 33. The first and

second support units

33 and 34 may correspond to the pick-and-place location 111 and the buffer location 112 on the vehicle body 10, respectively. The telescopic structure of the support assembly 30 can be realized by changing the position relation between the second support unit 34 and the first support unit 33, so that the goods space 11 on the shuttle car 100 can be expanded.

As a possible implementation manner, the first supporting units 33 may be disposed on the fixing frame 21, and portions of the second supporting units 34 may be respectively disposed through the two first supporting units 33 and slidably connected with the first supporting units 33. The second support unit 34 can expand the cargo space 11 of the shuttle car 100, and meanwhile, the applicability of the shuttle car 100 can be improved, so that the shuttle car can be used in more occasions.

Alternatively, as another possible embodiment, the second supporting unit 34 may also be disposed on the connecting frame 22, and portions of the second supporting unit 34 may be respectively inserted into the two fixing frames 21. This allows for a telescoping configuration of support assembly 30 by the telescoping configuration of frame 20. In this embodiment, the arrangement position and the connection manner of the second supporting unit 34 are not further limited. In the present embodiment, the first supporting unit 33 and the second supporting unit 34 are both the fixed supporting unit 31 described in the first embodiment.

When the vehicle body 10 is a retractable vehicle body, as can be seen from fig. 13 to 16, the pickup device 40 may be provided at one end (as shown in fig. 13) or both ends (as shown in fig. 14 and 15) of the vehicle body 10, as in the first embodiment. The picking device 40 may adopt two different structures as described in the first embodiment, namely, the picking assembly 41 having the first holding arm 411 and the second holding arm 412 or the picking assembly 41 having the suction cup 415. Alternatively, the pickup device 40 may be mounted on the vehicle body 10 and movable relative to the vehicle body 10 in the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11 (as shown in fig. 16). Further description will be made below with respect to the pickup device 40 shown in fig. 16.

It should be noted that the shuttle 100 in this embodiment has many kinds and combinations, and fig. 13 to 16 illustrate only a few possible shuttle 100. The shuttle 100 of the present embodiment may also include a variety of other possible configurations. Accordingly, the structures in fig. 13-16 are not to be considered as further limiting the structure of the shuttle car 100.

The difference from the first and second embodiments is that the present embodiment also provides a structure of the shuttle car 100. Referring to fig. 16 to 18, in the shuttle car 100, the pickup device 40 is movable relative to the car body 10 along the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11. In this way, the shuttle 100 can be moved from different positions on the rack 200 or the goods 500 on different goods positions 11 on the shuttle 100 can be moved onto the rack 200 by moving the goods taking device 40 on the body 10 while the position of the shuttle 100 relative to the rack 200 is not changed or is changed as little as possible.

The goods taking device 40 may include a supporting frame 43 slidably connected to the frame 20, the supporting frame 43 is disposed above the goods space 11, a third clamping arm 431 and a fourth clamping arm 432 are disposed on the supporting frame 43, and the third clamping arm 431 and the fourth clamping arm 432 are disposed on the same side of the supporting frame 43 (i.e., as shown in fig. 16, the third clamping arm 431 and the fourth clamping arm 432 are disposed on the same side of the supporting frame 43, and are movable relative to the supporting frame 43 to clamp around the goods 500, so as to move the goods 500 from the rack 200 to the goods space 11.

It should be noted that the third clamping arm 431 and the fourth clamping arm 432 may be disposed on the top of the supporting frame 43, and disposed on the supporting frame 43 by using a telescopic structure, so as to move relative to the supporting frame 43 under the action of the telescopic structure, thereby clamping around the goods 500, such as the bin. For the convenience of clipping, the third clipping arm 431 and the fourth clipping arm 432 are respectively provided with a clipping portion 437, and the clipping portion 437 can be hinged with the end portions of the arm bodies of the third clipping arm 431 and the fourth clipping arm 432, so that the clipping portion 437 can rotate relative to the arm bodies, and thus the goods 500 can be clipped on the periphery side.

Further, the goods taking device 40 may further include a second pushing rod 433 and a third pushing rod 434, where the second pushing rod 433 and the third pushing rod 434 are located on the same side of the supporting frame 43 (i.e., as shown in fig. 16, the second pushing rod 433 and the third pushing rod 434 are located on the same side of the supporting frame 43 from left to right). The second push rod 433 and the third push rod 434 are respectively correspondingly disposed on the sides of the third clamping arm 431 and the fourth clamping arm 432 facing the cargo space 11, that is, the second push rod 433 and the third push rod 434 are located below the third clamping arm 431 and the fourth clamping arm 432 as shown in fig. 16. In this way, the second push rod 433 and the third push rod 434 can move synchronously with the third clamping arm 431 and the fourth clamping arm 432, so that the structures of the goods taking device 40 and the shuttle 100 can be simplified while the goods 500 are moved from the goods space 11 to the goods shelf 200.

It should be noted that the supporting frame 43 is further provided with a fourth pushing rod 435 and a fifth pushing rod 436, and the fourth pushing rod 435 and the fifth pushing rod 436 may be relatively disposed on the same side of the supporting frame 43 (i.e., as shown in fig. 16, the fourth pushing rod 435 and the fifth pushing rod 436 are disposed on the same side of the supporting frame 43 and disposed at the left and right sides) and face the cargo spaces 11, so as to push the cargo 500 to move between the cargo spaces 11. Thus, when the supporting frame 43 moves between the cargo spaces 11, the fourth push rod 435 and the fifth push rod 436 can push the cargo 500 to move between the cargo spaces 11.

It should be understood that, in order to avoid the blocking of the cargo 500 by the fourth push rod 435 and the fifth push rod 436, the fourth push rod 435 and the fifth push rod 436 may be movably connected with the supporting frame 43 by a hinge or other connection means.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 17 to 18, in the handling system 600, the transmission rack 310 may also be located at the end of the shuttle 100 along the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11 on the shuttle 100, that is, the transmission rack 310 may be aligned with the shuttle 100 in the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11. Since the pickup device 40 can move along the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11 relative to the vehicle body 10, the cargo 500 can be moved from the cargo space 11 to the transport device 300 by the fourth push rod 435 and the fifth push rod 436 of the pickup device 40, or the cargo 500 on the transport device 300 can be moved to the cargo space 11 of the shuttle car 100, so that the loading and unloading of a plurality of cargos 500 can be completed at one time, and the carrying efficiency of the carrying system 600 can be improved.

It should be noted that the pickup device 40 shown in fig. 16 can also be applied to a fixed vehicle body, and the process of connecting and accessing the cargo 500 with respect to the vehicle body 10 can be referred to the description of the pickup device 40 in the retractable vehicle body.

The utility model provides a shuttle through the setting of retractable automobile body and get goods device, like this the shuttle when one-time operation, can expand the goods position on the shuttle through the retractable automobile body, places a plurality of goods on the automobile body through getting the goods device. Therefore, the shuttle provided by the disclosure can contribute to improving the conveying efficiency of the shuttle while realizing the conveying operation.

On the basis of the third embodiment, the embodiment provides another shuttle vehicle. Referring to fig. 19 to 22, the difference between the third embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment is that the support set in the present embodiment is a transmission type support unit 32. Like the driving support unit 32 of the second embodiment, the driving support unit 32 can rotate relative to the frame 20 to move the cargo 500 from one cargo space 11 to another cargo space 11.

When the vehicle body 10 is a retractable vehicle body, as can be seen from fig. 19 to 22, the pickup device 40 may be provided at one end (as shown in fig. 19, 20, and 22) or both ends (as shown in fig. 21) of the vehicle body 10, as in the first embodiment. The picking device 40 may adopt two different structures as described in the first embodiment, namely, a picking assembly 41 having a first holding arm 411 and a second holding arm 412 (as shown in fig. 19 and 20) or a picking assembly 41 having a suction cup 415 (as shown in fig. 21 and 22). Alternatively, the pickup device 40 may be mounted on the vehicle body 10 and movable relative to the vehicle body 10 in the arrangement direction of the cargo space 11 (as shown in fig. 16). Further description will be made below with respect to the pickup device 40 shown in fig. 16. Accordingly, the drive-type support unit 32 on the vehicle body 10 may take a variety of forms of drive. Such as a belt 322 as shown in fig. 19 and 21 may be employed on the vehicle body 10. The vehicle body 10 may also employ a combination of the two transmission members (such as the roller 321 and the belt 322) shown in fig. 20 and 22.

It should be noted that the shuttle 100 in this embodiment has many kinds and combinations, and fig. 19 to 22 illustrate only a few possible shuttle 100.
