Special escalator system for shopping cart

Abstract

The invention provides a special escalator system for a shopping cart. The special escalator system comprises a cargo carrying escalator, wherein a front friction column is arranged on a front supportof the shopping cart; the cargo carrying escalator comprises an escalator support, a conveying mechanism, a conveying driving mechanism and two guide mechanisms; inlets and outlets are formed in thetwo ends of the escalator support, and are erected at a low position and a high position correspondingly; the conveying mechanism comprises a plurality of supporting assemblies; the multiple supporting assemblies are connected with the conveying driving mechanism through a transmission mechanism; the two guide mechanisms are arranged at the inlets and the outlets in the two ends of the escalator support in a mirror symmetry mode, and each guide mechanism comprises a first guide rail, a plurality of front friction rollers arranged on the inner wall of the first guide rail, and a first driving mechanism which is in driving connection with the multiple front friction rollers; and one end, facing the inlets and the outlets, of a main channel of the first guide rail is branched to form a linearchannel and an arc-shaped channel which communicate with the main channel. According to the special escalator system, the shopping cart can automatically steer when entering the inlets of the escalator or being conveyed out of the outlets of the escalator, so that handles of the shopping cart are deviated from the direction of the escalator, and grabbing of customers is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of shopping equipment, in particular to an escalator system dedicated to shopping carts. Background technique [0002] Shopping carts are common in large supermarkets or large shopping malls and stores. They generally refer to a kind of shopping equipment we use for shopping in supermarkets, shopping malls or stores. They are an indispensable tool in our lives. When shopping in supermarkets, we use shopping carts. On the one hand, it can increase the demand of buyers, and on the other hand, it can increase the transaction volume of sellers, which can be described as a win-win result that kills two birds with one stone. [0003] The transportation of shopping carts between different floors mainly includes the following methods: [0004] 1. Elevator transportation is used. The advantage of this method is that the transportation of shopping carts can be realized regardless of the number of floors, but the disadvantage i...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Elevator transportation is used. The advantage of this method is that the transportation of shopping carts can be realized regardless of the number of floors, but the disadvantage is that the capacity of the elevator is limited, and the number of shopping carts is limited each time, so it is impossible to realize the transportation of a large number of shopping carts;

[0005] 2. Use ramps to transport. The advantage of this method is that it can transport a large number of shopping carts, but the disadvantage is that the inclination angle of the ramp should not be too large, and the slope needs to be gentle, otherwise it is easy to roll over, and the gentle slope will lead to too much distance on the ramp. Long, takes up too much space, which is not conducive to rational use of space

[0006] In order to improve the above defects, the manufacturer or designer realizes the transportation of the shopping cart between the low position and the high position through the cooperation between the chain or the conveyor belt and the shopping cart, which is basically a mechanical connection between the shopping cart and the drive chain. It is fixed and driven up or down with the driving chain link to achieve the purpose of transporting the shopping cart, but the direction of the shopping cart remains unchanged during the transportation process. After the shopping cart is transported from the exit of the escalator, the handle of the shopping cart is still facing the direction of the escalator. Not conducive to customer grasp
