Description

Rack Mounted Transferred Material Shuttle System The present invention relates to a rack-fixed transport shuttle system, and more specifically, to a rack-fixed transport shuttle system having a transport body that moves along a transport rail fixed to a rack and transports the transport body to a predetermined point. Recently, logistics automation systems are being installed in logistics centers, and as part of this, logistics transport tasks are being performed by unmanned logistics transport robots, such as unmanned transport vehicles, rather than by human workers (see Registered Patent No. 10-1666519). These logistics robots can transport items to racks so that they are stored, and a Robot Control System (RCS) was essential for using the logistics robots. In addition, conventionally, a rail was installed on the floor where the rack was placed, and a conveyor moved along the rail installed on the floor to convey the goods (see Registered Patent No. 10-2390558). In such cases, transporting goods to a specific height requires installing rails on the upper section, resulting in a complex structure and high installation costs. Additionally, the large amount of space required to install the rails prevents the placement of sufficient racks in the logistics warehouse, thereby reducing storage capacity. FIG. 1 is a front view of a rack-fixed conveyor shuttle system according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 2 and 3 are side views of a rack-fixed conveyor shuttle system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a diagram of the process of a transfer body taking out a transfer object stored in a rack. Figure 5 is a diagram showing the power supply equipment supplying power to the carrier. Figure 6 is a diagram showing a charging device charging a battery of a transporter. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but may be implemented in various different forms, and these embodiments are provided merely to make the disclosure of the present invention complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention. In this specification, the singular form includes the plural form unless specifically stated otherwise in the text. As used in this specification, "comprises" and/or "comprising" do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components, steps, and actions in addition to the mentioned components, steps, and actions. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a rack-fixed conveyor shuttle system according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. FIG. 1 is a front view of a rack-fixed conveyor shuttle system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 2 and 3 are side views of a rack-fixed conveyor shuttle system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the process of a conveyor taking out a conveyor stored in a rack. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a power supply device supplying power to a conveyor. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a charging device charging a rechargeable battery of a conveyor. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a rack-fixed conveyor shuttle system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a rack (40), a conveying rail (10), a conveyor (30), a conveyor, a power supply device, and a charging device. The rack (40) is a shelf-shaped storage device for storing the transferred body (50, 55, 57). The rack (40) may have multiple storage spaces in the horizontal and vertical directions to store the transferred objects (50, 55, 57). Meanwhile, the transported body (50, 55, 57) can take various forms, such as an item, a storage box, or a tote box. The transfer rail (10) is a rail-shaped structure installed on a rack (40). In one form, the conveying rail (10) can be installed along the height direction of the rack (40). These transfer rails (10) can move along the longitudinal direction of the rack (40). To this end, the rack-fixed transfer shuttle system may include horizontal guide rails (43, 45) installed along the longitudinal direction on the rack (40) and a horizontal drive unit that moves the transfer rails (10) horizontally along the horizontal guide rails (43, 45). That is, the conveying rail (10) is installed along the vertical direction on the rack (40) and can move along the horizontal direction on the rack (40). The conveying rail (10) may include a pair of bar-shaped length members (20, 25), and the conveying body (30) may move on the pair of length members (20, 25). The transfer body (30) is a transfer member that moves on the transfer rail (10) and transfers the transferred body (50, 55, 57) inside or outside the rack (40). In one form, when a conveying rail (10) is installed along the vertical direction of a rack (40), the conveying body (30) can move along the vertical direction to convey the object to be conveyed (50, 55, 57) inside or outside the rack (40). That is, the conveying rail (10) moves along the horizontal di
