Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material production, and in particular to a stereoscopic warehouse system for Chinese medicine and extracts. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicinal materials have a long history. There are many types of Chinese medicinal materials. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,200 types of Chinese medicinal materials in my country, including plants, animals, minerals and other resources. Chinese medicinal materials have the advantages of being natural, environmentally friendly and having few side effects. They are widely used in the treatment of various diseases or taken as health products.

[0003] Since Chinese medicinal materials are mostly taken from nature, in order to preserve their medicinal properties, processed Chinese medicinal materials usually need to be classified and packaged into Chinese medicinal material packages and stored. During the storage process, attention needs to be paid to storage temperature, light, humidity, and insect infestation.

[0004] However, with the advancement of technology and the development of the logistics industry, more and more consumers can purchase Chinese medicinal materials through online shopping without leaving their homes. Therefore, a single warehouse system with storage function can no longer meet the demand, and more manpower and material resources are required to complete the warehousing or outbound delivery of medicinal materials. The management cost is high and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the management cost of Chinese medicinal material extracts, the present application provides a three-dimensional warehouse system for Chinese medicines and extracts.

[0006] The present application provides a three-dimensional warehouse system for traditional Chinese medicine and extracts using the following technical solutions:

[0007] A stereoscopic warehouse system for traditional Chinese medicine and extracts, comprising a shelf, a four-way vehicle, an elevator, a wireless base station AP and an engineering control machine; the shelf is provided with a plurality of storage locations for storing traditional Chinese medicines, and a transport channel is provided on the shelf for the four-way vehicle to move along the shelf; the elevator is provided on one side of the shelf, and is used to carry the four-way vehicle to move in a vertical direction; the wireless base station AP is used to receive and / or send electrical signals from the four-way vehicle, the elevator and the engineering control machine.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage positions are divided in an orderly manner, so that different types of Chinese medicinal materials packages can be stored in an orderly manner on the shelves. When the Chinese medicinal materials package needs to be put into the warehouse, the operator enters the type of the Chinese medicinal materials package into the engineering control machine, and the engineering control machine automatically selects the appropriate storage position through the built-in program, and sends the electrical signal to the four-way vehicle and the elevator through the wireless base station AP. The four-way vehicle carries the Chinese medicinal materials to the elevator, and the elevator lifts the four-way vehicle onto the shelf. Then the four-way vehicle moves on the shelf to deliver the goods to the storage position; when the Chinese medicinal materials need to be shipped out of the warehouse, the engineering control machine sends the storage position information of the package to the four-way vehicle and the elevator through the wireless base station AP. After the four-way vehicle moves along the rack to the storage position, the four-way vehicle carries the Chinese medicinal materials package and moves to the elevator. The elevator carries the four-way vehicle with the Chinese medicinal materials package and moves in a vertical direction to the shipping port; through the above process, the necessity of manual participation in the shipping and / or shipping of Chinese medicinal materials packages is reduced, the intelligence level of Chinese medicinal materials warehouse management is improved, and it plays a positive guiding role in reducing the management cost of Chinese medicinal materials extracts.

[0009] Preferably, the shelves are provided with several layers, and the several layers of shelves are stacked on each other in the vertical direction. The distance between any layer of shelves and the adjacent shelf is greater than the height of the packaged Chinese medicinal materials, and the stroke of the elevator is greater than the height of the several layers of shelves after being stacked.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the number of shelves can be increased while ensuring stability and safety, thereby improving space utilization. At the same time, the height between any shelf and the adjacent shelf is greater than the height of the Chinese medicinal materials package, reserving space for the four-way vehicle lifting platform to lift and lower, thereby reducing the probability of a four-way vehicle carrying Chinese medicinal materials packages being unable to leave or enter the warehouse smoothly due to insufficient height of the storage position.

[0011] Preferably, the transport channel includes a main channel and a sub-channel, the sub-channel is arranged in the storage position, the main channel is connected to any one of the sub-channels, and the main channel and any one of the sub-channels are arranged vertically along the horizontal plane.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the main channel serves as the main driving channel for the four-way vehicle, and the main channel on the shelf on the same level is connected to any sub-channel, so that the four-way vehicle can run unimpeded on the current shelf; at the same time, the main channel and any sub-channel are arranged vertically, which is convenient for the four-way vehicle to switch horizontally and vertically along the horizontal plane.

[0013] Preferably, a sub-guide rail is detachably provided on the sub-channel, and a main rail is detachably provided on the main channel, and the sub-guide rail and the main rail are used to carry the movement of the four-way vehicle.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the four-way vehicle can run smoothly along the main guide rail and the sub-guide rail through the guiding effect of the main guide rail and the sub-guide rail, thereby reducing the probability of the four-way vehicle deviating along the movement path of the main channel or the sub-channel, and the center of gravity of the four-way vehicle changing, thereby causing the four-way vehicle to roll over.

[0015] Preferably, a gravity sensor is provided on the four-way vehicle.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the four-way vehicle is carrying packages of Chinese medicinal materials or is in an empty state and running along the main rail or the sub-rail, the inclination angle of the four-way vehicle in the horizontal direction is detected by the gravity sensor. When the inclination angle of the four-way vehicle in the horizontal direction exceeds the set range, the four-way vehicle is at risk of overturning. At the same time, the gravity sensor sends the detection signal to the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP, so that the operator can process the abnormal signal in time.

[0017] Preferably, a charging area is provided on each layer of the shelves.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the four-way vehicle is low on power, the four-way vehicle automatically arrives at the charging area near the current shelf for charging. There is no need to transport the four-way vehicle to the designated charging point by the elevator again, and the four-way vehicle can automatically complete the charging process without human intervention; at the same time, it plays a positive guiding role in alleviating elevator transportation congestion.

[0019] Preferably, rail end rods are provided at both ends of the main rail.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the main rail are closed by using the rail end rods. When the four-way vehicle moves to any end of the main rail, the detection function of the four-way vehicle solves the problem of the four-way vehicle falling along the shelf from the end of the main rail to a certain extent, which plays a positive guiding role in improving the overall safety.

[0021] Preferably, a barcode identifier is provided on the shelf above the storage location, and the barcode identifier faces the storage location.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the four-way vehicle receives the transportation instruction issued by the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP, the four-way vehicle moves along the main rail to the designated storage position and sends the arrival signal to the engineering control machine. At the same time, the barcode identifier identifies the Chinese medicinal materials including the barcode in the current storage position and sends the detection signal to the engineering control machine. The engineering control machine determines the type of the Chinese medicinal materials package through barcode comparison, which reduces the probability of package delivery errors to a certain extent.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The system divides the storage locations in an orderly manner. After the operator enters the information of Chinese medicinal materials, the engineering control machine automatically selects the storage location and transmits the instructions to the four-way vehicle and the elevator through the wireless base station, realizing the automatic storage and outbound of Chinese medicinal materials, reducing manual participation, improving the management intelligence, and helping to reduce the management cost of Chinese medicinal material extracts;

[0025] 2. When the four-way vehicle is running along the track with Chinese medicinal materials or empty, the gravity sensor detects the horizontal inclination. When the inclination exceeds the set range, there is a risk of overturning. The gravity sensor transmits the detection signal to the engineering control machine so that the operator can handle the abnormal signal in time;

[0026] 3. After receiving the wireless command from the engineering control machine, the four-way vehicle moves along the main track to the designated storage location and sends an arrival signal. At the same time, the barcode reader identifies the barcode of the Chinese medicinal materials package in the storage location and sends the signal to the engineering control machine. Through barcode comparison, the engineering control machine determines the type of Chinese medicinal materials package, effectively reducing the probability of package delivery errors.

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0032] The present application embodiment discloses a three-dimensional warehouse system for traditional Chinese medicine and extracts. Figure 1 and Figure 2A stereoscopic warehouse system for traditional Chinese medicine and extracts includes a shelf 1, a four-way vehicle 2, an elevator 3, a wireless base station AP and an engineering control machine. The shelf 1 is provided with a plurality of storage locations 4 for storing Chinese medicinal materials. A transport channel 5 is provided on the shelf 1 for the four-way vehicle 2 to move along the shelf 1. The elevator 3 is provided on one side of the shelf 1 for carrying the four-way vehicle 2 to move in a vertical direction. The wireless base station AP is used to receive and / or send electrical signals from the four-way vehicle 2, the elevator 3 and the engineering control machine.

[0033] Specifically, in order to improve space utilization, the shelf 1 is provided with several layers, and several layers of shelves 1 are stacked on each other in the vertical direction. The distance between any layer of shelf 1 and the adjacent shelf 1 is greater than the height of the packaged Chinese medicinal materials, and the stroke of the elevator 3 is greater than the height of the several layers of shelves 1 after being stacked.

[0034] Furthermore, the shelf 1 adopts a shuttle-type combined assembly structure, and the metal materials of various parts of the shelf 1 are selected from the national standard Q235B (GB / T 700), and the metal materials are all brand new factory materials. At the same time, the manufacturing process and quality requirements of the shelf 1 are implemented in accordance with the JB / T5323-91 industry standard, so that it has good rigidity and strength.

[0035] Among them, the wireless base station AP uses Doublecom DB6000ANLT90, which is a high-performance, high-bandwidth, multi-function, outdoor telecom-grade wireless device that supports 802.11a / n standards. The device is based on 802.11n MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) technology and adopts a 2T2R architecture. The maximum transmission power can reach 1000mw and the maximum bandwidth can reach 300Mbps. It works in the 5.8G license-free frequency band and integrates an 18dBi 90-degree dual-polarization sector antenna with an antenna frequency range of 5150-5850MHz. The device adopts a 1000M Ethernet port design, which can maximize the potential of the 802.11n wireless protocol. It is an existing technology and its specific working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Therefore, the number of layers of the shelf 1 is increased while ensuring stability and safety, thereby improving space utilization. Different types of Chinese medicinal materials can be stored in specific storage locations 4, and the four-way vehicle 2 can be lifted to any layer of the shelf 1 by the elevator 3. The operator uses the engineering control machine to send a transport instruction to the four-way vehicle 2 through the wireless base station AP. Through the coordinated cooperation of the elevator 3 and the four-way vehicle 2, the automation of the storage or outbound delivery of Chinese medicinal materials packages is realized, reducing the necessity of manual participation in the storage or outbound delivery of Chinese medicinal materials packages.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The transport channel 5 includes a main channel 51 and a sub-channel 52. The sub-channel 52 is arranged in the storage position 4. The main channel 51 is connected to any sub-channel 52. The main channel 51 and any sub-channel 52 are arranged vertically along the horizontal plane.

[0038] Specifically, a plurality of main channels 51 are provided on each layer of the shelf 1 , and the main channels 51 are interconnected.

[0039] Therefore, when the four-way vehicle 2 and the elevator 3 receive the transport instruction sent by the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP, the four-way vehicle 2 arrives at the elevator 3, and the elevator 3 lifts the four-way vehicle 2 to the shelf 1 of the corresponding number of layers. Since the main channel 51 is connected to any storage position 4, the four-way vehicle 2 reaches the selected storage position 4 through the main channel 51, and places the Chinese medicinal materials package into the storage position 4 or takes out the Chinese medicinal materials package along the storage position 4.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 A sub-guide rail 7 is detachably provided in the sub-channel 52 , and a main guide rail 6 is detachably provided on the main channel 51 . The sub-guide rail 7 and the main guide rail 6 are used to carry the movement of the four-way vehicle 2 .

[0041] Specifically, when the four-way vehicle 2 is in an unloaded state, its own weight can reach 450kg (International Unit, kilogram), and its rated load is 1500kg. Therefore, when the four-way vehicle 2 is in a fully equipped state, its overall mass can reach 1950kg. Therefore, when the four-way vehicle 2 moves along the main channel 51 or the sub-channel 52, as the working time increases, the steel beam structure of part of the sub-channel 52 and the main channel 51 is worn, and there is a risk of rollover when the four-way vehicle 2 passes through the worn area.

[0042] Therefore, when the sub-guide rail 7 or the main guide rail 6 is worn, the sub-guide rail 7 or the main guide rail 6 can be disassembled along the steel beam structure, which is convenient for maintenance or replacement of the sub-guide rail 7 or the main guide rail 6, thereby improving the stability of the four-way vehicle 2 during operation.

[0043] Correspondingly, a gravity sensor is provided on the four-way vehicle 2. When the four-way vehicle 2 is carrying packages of Chinese medicinal materials or is in an unloaded state and is running along the main rail 6 or the sub-rail 7, the gravity sensor is used to detect the inclination angle of the four-way vehicle 2 in the horizontal direction. When the inclination angle of the four-way vehicle 2 in the horizontal direction exceeds the set range, the four-way vehicle 2 is at risk of overturning. At this time, the gravity sensor sends a signal to the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP and quickly stops moving, thereby improving the stability of the working process of the four-way vehicle 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 A charging area 8 is provided on each shelf 1 at any layer.

[0045] Specifically, a charging area 8 is installed at the end of the main channel 51 of each shelf 1. When the four-way vehicle 2 is low on power, the four-way vehicle 2 automatically sends a signal to the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP, so that the operator can understand the working status of each four-way vehicle 2 in the current shelf 1 in real time.

[0046] At the same time, the four-way vehicle 2 automatically reaches the charging area 8 of the current shelf 1 for charging through a built-in program, and an operator does not need to participate in the charging process of the four-way vehicle 2.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 Track end rods 9 are provided at both ends of the main rail 6.

[0048] Specifically, the two ends of the main rail 6 are closed by using the rail end rod 9. When the four-way vehicle 2 moves to the end of the main rail 6, when the four-way vehicle 2 detects an obstacle ahead, it will stop running or change the running route. This solves the problem of the four-way vehicle 2 falling from the end of the main rail 6 along the shelf 1 to a certain extent, and plays a positive guiding role in improving the overall safety.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 A barcode reader 10 is provided on the shelf 1 located above the storage position 4 , and the barcode reader 10 faces the storage position 4 .

[0050] Specifically, when the four-way vehicle 2 performs a transportation task, after the four-way vehicle 2 runs along the main rail 6 to the designated storage position 4, the barcode identifier 10 detects the type of Chinese medicinal materials in the current storage position 4. When the barcode identifier 10 detects that the Chinese medicinal materials package in the current storage position 4 is consistent with the type of the Chinese medicinal materials package to be shipped out, the four-way vehicle 2 can take out the Chinese medicinal materials package along the current storage position 4.

[0051] At the same time, after the four-way vehicle 2 carrying the Chinese medicinal materials package arrives at the designated storage location 4, the barcode identifier 10 performs a second confirmation on the current Chinese medicinal materials package type. Through the above process, the accuracy of the Chinese medicinal materials package out of or into the warehouse is improved.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , the working principle between the four-way vehicle 2, the elevator 3, the wireless base station AP and the engineering control machine is explained.

[0053] Chinese herbal medicine package storage:

[0054] a. The operator enters the type and quantity of the packages of Chinese medicinal materials with identification codes to be stored in the engineering control machine.

[0055] b. The engineering control machine automatically selects different types of Chinese medicinal materials package storage areas through the built-in program, and determines the four-way vehicle 2 required to participate in the warehousing transportation. After the transportation instruction is sent to the elevator 3 and the four-way vehicle 2 through the wireless base station AP, the four-way vehicle 2 is in a standby state.

[0056] c. When the elevator 3 reaches the shelf 1 where the four-way vehicle 2 is located, the four-way vehicle 2 runs along the main rail 6 to the lifting platform of the elevator 3, and then the elevator 3 carries the four-way vehicle 2 to move to the material picking area.

[0057] d. The four-way vehicle 2 carrying the Chinese medicinal materials package runs to the lifting platform of the elevator 3, and then the elevator 3 transports the four-way vehicle 2 carrying the Chinese medicinal materials package to the designated shelf 1 through the shelf 1 information sent by the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP.

[0058] e. The four-way vehicle 2 runs along the main rail 6 to the storage position 4 selected by the engineering control machine.

[0059] f. When the four-way vehicle 2 arrives at the selected storage position 4, the barcode identifier performs a second confirmation on the type of the current Chinese medicinal materials package. When the identification information of the barcode identifier 10 matches the Chinese medicinal materials package sent by the engineering control machine through the wireless base station AP, the four-way vehicle 2 can place the Chinese medicinal materials package in the current storage position 4, complete the warehousing of the Chinese medicinal materials package, and start the transportation of the next Chinese medicinal materials package.

[0060] Chinese herbal medicine package out of warehouse:

[0061] a. When the engineering control machine receives the task of outbound delivery of Chinese herbal medicine packages, it sends the type and quantity of the Chinese herbal medicine packages to be delivered to the four-way vehicle 2 in the corresponding shelf 1 through the wireless base station AP; at the same time, the engineering control machine sends the number of the shelf 1 where the Chinese herbal medicine packages to be delivered are located to the elevator 3 through the wireless base station AP;

[0062] b. The four-way vehicle 2 runs along the main rail 6 to the storage position 4 where the packages of Chinese medicinal materials to be shipped out are stored. At the same time, the elevator 3 runs to the designated shelf 1. The barcode identifier 10 located in the storage position 4 performs a second confirmation on the type of the Chinese medicinal materials package in the current storage position 4. When the type of the Chinese medicinal materials package in the current storage position 4 matches the type of the Chinese medicinal materials package to be shipped out, the four-way vehicle 2 can take out the Chinese medicinal materials package placed in the storage position 4 and run along the main rail 6 to the lifting platform of the elevator 3.

[0063] c. The elevator 3 transports the four-way vehicle 2 carrying the Chinese medicinal materials to be shipped out to the shipping area, completing the shipping process of the current Chinese medicinal materials package.

[0064] d. The four-way vehicle 2 cooperates with the elevator 3 to repeat the above process until the quantity and type of Chinese medicinal materials packages shipped out of the warehouse meet the demand.

[0065] The implementation principle of a three-dimensional warehouse system for traditional Chinese medicine and extracts in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the engineering control machine determines the number and type of packages of traditional Chinese medicine to be shipped out and to be shipped out, and sends the information of the type and quantity of traditional Chinese medicine to the four-way vehicle 2 through the wireless base station AP, and at the same time sends the information of the shelf 1 of the packages of traditional Chinese medicine to be shipped out and to be shipped in to the elevator 3. Through the coordinated cooperation of the elevator 3 and the four-way vehicle 2, the shipping in and out of the packages of traditional Chinese medicine are completed, which reduces the necessity of manual participation in the shipping out or shipping in of the packages of traditional Chinese medicine, and plays a positive guiding role in reducing the management cost of traditional Chinese medicine extracts.

[0066] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
