Shuttle rack system is a high-density storage system composed of racks, trolleys and forklifts. Trolleys are shuttles.
The types of shuttles are as follows
Mother-child shuttle
It is mainly composed of a horizontal child shuttle and a longitudinal mother shuttle and its tracks. It can be used with reciprocating elevators, layer-changing elevators, outbound conveyor lines, inbound conveyor lines, and computer control systems.
working principle
During work, the mother car of the mother-child shuttle pulls a series of child cars on the main road of the warehouse. When it reaches a specific branch road, the child car can be automatically released and then autonomously run to the branch road for operation. The mother car continues to move forward in this process, which saves a lot of time invisibly and greatly speeds up the operation.
Four-way shuttle
It refers to a storage robot that can shuttle in four directions (front, back, left, and right) in a plane, mainly different from the traditional two-way shuttle (forward and backward).
working principle
In terms of working principle, the four-way shuttle generally has two sets of wheel systems, one for X direction and the other for Y direction. The trolley runs on the track and encounters a turn by replacing the wheel system. Therefore, the direction of the cargo unit remains unchanged during the entire operation time. When the trolley needs to change floors, most of them are completed by the elevator outside the lane. After the trolley automatically enters the elevator, the elevator is lifted to the required floor, and the floor change is completed.
General shuttle technical parameters (for reference)
