Wireless charging empowers four-way shuttle: a new driving force for intelligent logistics

2024-06-12

With the continuous development of intelligent logistics technology, four-way shuttle cars, as an efficient and flexible material handling equipment, are becoming increasingly widely used in fields such as warehousing and logistics centers. China, as the world's largest producer of four-way shuttle trucks, holds nearly 80% of the market share. According to statistics, the market size of China's four-way shuttle truck for pallets in 2023 is about 730 million yuan, and the market sales have increased from 795 units in 2017 to 6336 units in 2023, with an average annual compound growth rate of 41.33%. However, the range issue of the four-way shuttle has become an important factor affecting its work efficiency. The emergence of wireless charging technology has provided a new source of power for four-way shuttle cars.



Zhonghui Chuangzhi wireless charging technology utilizes the principle of magnetic resonance to achieve wireless transmission of electrical energy. It mainly consists of two parts: the transmitting end and the receiving end. The charging station can be installed on the driving route of the four-way shuttle car, while the receiving end is installed on the side or bottom of the car. When the battery level drops to a certain threshold, the four-way shuttle can autonomously return to the charging station for charging, which avoids the plugging and unplugging operations in traditional wired charging methods and greatly improves the convenience of charging.




The advantages of Zhonghui Chuangzhi's four-way shuttle wireless charging solution:

1. Contactless charging, high efficiency, long lifespan, and can achieve fragmented charging time;

2. Innovative control algorithm, quick response, automatic charging and stopping, achieving unmanned management:

3. The communication data transmission between the transmitting and receiving controllers is stable, and the frequency band has strong anti-interference ability;

4. The brand new magnetic core structure design concentrates the magnetic field inside the coil, with small leakage and low radiation;

5. Equipped with multiple protections such as over temperature protection, over voltage protection, over current protection, and short circuit protection;

6. The no-load protection is complete and can achieve communication free charging. During the charging process, if the battery load is disconnected or the receiving part of the upper computer leaves, the transmitting part will automatically enter standby mode, which is safe and reliable;

7. Independently developed charging distance sensing detection to improve charging efficiency;




With the continuous development and improvement of wireless charging technology, its application in four-way shuttle and intelligent logistics fields will become more extensive and in-depth. Wireless charging technology will become a new driving force for intelligent logistics, promoting further development and upgrading of the logistics industry. Zhonghui Chuangzhi's four-way shuttle wireless charging solution has brought significant benefits and convenience to the modern warehousing and logistics field, contributing to the development of the warehousing and logistics industry towards intelligence and automation.
