[0002] With the rapid development of the e-commerce economy, intelligent warehousing and logistics systems that can realize automatic warehousing and out-of-warehouse operations are becoming more and more widely used. They can improve logistics efficiency while reducing logistics costs and improving logistics reliability.

[0003] The existing storage logistics for inbound and outbound storage usually include the box-to-person system, the shelf-to-person system and the shuttle car vertical warehouse system. The box-to-person system uses an autonomous transport robot to pick up and place the boxes on the shelf, and the fork mechanism on the transport robot is lifted and lowered on its own vertical frame to achieve the picking and placing of boxes on any layer of the shelf; the shelf-to-person system uses a transport robot to move to the bottom of the shelf, and uses top lifting or other methods to move the shelf to the picking position; the shuttle car vertical warehouse system includes multi-layer vertical shelves, shuttle cars and lifting and changing layers. Each layer of the vertical shelf is equipped with a track for the shuttle car to travel. The shuttle car travels on the track to pick up and place the goods on the shelf on that layer. At the same time, the shuttle car realizes its transfer on different layers of tracks through the lifting and changing layers mechanism.

[0004] When implementing the above technology, the inventors found the following problems: although the cargo box to person system has a high handling efficiency, it needs to be equipped with multiple handling robots to meet the efficient operation of entering and leaving the warehouse, and the cost of a single handling robot is high, which makes it difficult to reduce the cost of the entire cargo box to person system. At the same time, when the shelves are high, the frames on the handling robots need to be configured to the same height, which reduces the operating stability of the fork mechanism on the frames, making it difficult for the cargo box to person system to meet the needs of high shelves; the shelf-to-person system requires handling robots to drag the shelves, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, consumes too much energy, and is difficult to improve efficiency; the shuttle car warehouse system requires a lifting and changing mechanism and tracks on each shelf, which results in the shuttle car warehouse system occupying a large overall space, high cost, and high requirements for site height.

[0075] Embodiment 1

[0076] The utility model provides a storage logistics system, which can realize the picking and placing of goods on the shelf by the picking mechanism walking on the shelf surface, and realize the operation of goods entering and leaving the warehouse. Among them, the goods refer to the whole unit that can be transported or carried, which can be a material box filled with goods, an empty material box or original packaged goods stored separately, etc.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the storage logistics system includes a shelf, a picking mechanism and a transfer vehicle. Among them, the shelf includes a shelf body 1, a track component 3 and a temporary storage component 2. The shelf body 1 has one or at least two cargo compartments 11 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. Each cargo compartment 11 includes a plurality of storage positions arranged side by side in a first direction, and the storage positions are used to store goods; at least two track components 3 are arranged in parallel and at intervals in the vertical direction, and each track component 3 is laid on one side of the cargo compartment 11 along the first direction; the temporary storage component 2 is suspended and installed below the bottom cargo compartment 11, and has a temporary storage position for temporary storage of goods. The bottom of the temporary storage component 2 is provided with a bottom opening 23, and the temporary storage component 2 is provided with a side opening along the second direction, and the side opening is connected with the bottom opening. The bottom opening 23 is used for the cargo carrying mechanism of the transfer vehicle to move in and out of the temporary storage position, and the side opening is used for the cargo carrying mechanism to carry goods horizontally in and out of the temporary storage position. The bottom of the temporary storage component 2 has a low-level channel for the mobile chassis of the transfer vehicle to move, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0078] The cargo picking mechanism includes a running mechanism and a cargo storage and retrieval mechanism. The running mechanism can run along the two track assemblies 3 to enable the storage and retrieval mechanism to pick up and place cargo at any column of storage locations. The cargo storage and retrieval mechanism can be vertically lifted and lowered along the running mechanism to enable the storage and retrieval mechanism to pick up and place cargo at any row of storage locations, and the cargo storage and retrieval mechanism can be lowered to face the temporary storage location to pick up and place cargo at the temporary storage location. That is, the cargo picking mechanism can realize the transfer of cargo between the temporary storage location and any storage location.

[0079] The transfer vehicle adopts a top-lifting transport trolley, which includes a mobile chassis that can move independently and a lifting mechanism installed on the mobile chassis. The lifting mechanism includes a cargo carrying mechanism and a top-lifting lifting mechanism. The cargo carrying mechanism is located at the top of the mobile chassis and is used to dock with the bottom of the cargo. The top-lifting lifting mechanism can drive the cargo carrying mechanism to rise and fall to achieve separation or contact between the cargo carrying mechanism and the cargo.

[0080] The transfer vehicle has a first height when the cargo carrying mechanism is not raised relative to the mobile chassis and a second height when the cargo carrying mechanism is raised relative to the mobile chassis, and the second height is greater than the first height. Generally speaking, when the transfer vehicle is moving empty, the transfer vehicle is at the first height; when the transfer vehicle needs to dock with the cargo in the temporary storage location, the cargo carrying mechanism is raised to raise the transfer vehicle from the first height to the second height.

[0081] In order to facilitate the movement of the transfer vehicle at the bottom of the shelf, a high-level passage is formed between the bottom cargo compartment 11 at the position where the temporary storage component 2 is not set and the ground of the storage logistics system, and the height of the high-level passage is greater than the second height, so that the transfer vehicle can walk relatively freely in the high-level passage; a low-level passage is formed between the bottom of the temporary storage component 2 and the ground of the storage logistics system, and the low-level passage is higher than the first height, so that the transfer vehicle can enter the bottom of the temporary storage component 2 through the low-level passage when it is at the first height. The cargo carrying mechanism of the transfer vehicle can enter and exit the temporary storage position through the bottom opening 23 to dock or separate with the cargo in the temporary storage position, and the cargo carrying mechanism can carry the cargo in and out of the temporary storage position through any of the side openings.

[0082] The warehousing and logistics system provided in the present embodiment, when the goods are shipped out of the warehouse, the picking mechanism receives the picking information and moves the goods storage and retrieval mechanism to the position corresponding to the target goods through the lateral movement of the walking mechanism and the longitudinal movement of the goods picking and placing mechanism relative to the walking mechanism, so that the goods storage and retrieval mechanism takes the target goods out of the storage position; thereafter, the goods storage and retrieval mechanism places the target goods in an empty temporary storage position; after receiving the transportation instruction, the transfer vehicle moves to the bottom of the target temporary storage position; the cargo carrying mechanism of the transfer vehicle rises and rises to the temporary storage position through the bottom opening 23 of the temporary storage position, the cargo carrying mechanism contacts the bottom of the cargo and drives the cargo to rise to be separated from the bottom of the temporary storage position; thereafter, the transfer vehicle carries the goods and moves along either side of the second direction, that is, the transfer vehicle carries the goods to exit the temporary storage position along either side opening of the temporary storage position; finally, the transfer vehicle carries the goods to the target position.

[0083] When the goods are put into storage, the transfer vehicle carries the goods and moves to face the opening on either side of the temporary storage position, and then the transfer vehicle moves toward the temporary storage position along the second direction, so that the goods enter the temporary storage position through the side opening of the temporary storage position; when the goods are placed in the temporary storage position, the cargo carrying mechanism of the transfer vehicle descends and exits the temporary storage position through the bottom opening 23 of the temporary storage position, so that the goods are carried at the bottom of the temporary storage position, and the transfer vehicle is separated from the goods and the temporary storage component 2; after receiving the warehousing instruction, the storage and retrieval mechanism controls the cargo storage and retrieval mechanism to move to the front side of the temporary storage position where the target goods are located according to the temporary storage position of the target goods, and picks up the target goods in the temporary storage position; thereafter, according to the target storage position corresponding to the target goods, the cargo storage and retrieval mechanism controls the cargo storage and retrieval mechanism to move to the front side of the target storage position, and places the target goods in the target storage position, thereby realizing the warehousing operation of the target goods.

[0084] That is, the shelf and warehousing logistics system provided by the present embodiment, by suspending a temporary storage component 2 under the bottom cargo compartment 11, enables the goods picked up from the storage position by the picking mechanism to be temporarily stored in the temporary storage position when the goods are out of the warehouse, so that the transfer vehicle can transfer and transport the goods in the temporary storage position, and there is no need for the picking mechanism to directly dock with the transfer vehicle, thereby reducing the picking waiting time of the picking mechanism, improving the picking efficiency of the picking mechanism, and improving the efficiency of goods out of the warehouse; when the goods are put into the warehouse, the transfer vehicle can temporarily store the goods to be put into the warehouse in the temporary storage position, waiting for the picking mechanism to carry out the warehousing operation on the goods in the temporary storage position, so that the transfer vehicle does not need to wait for docking with the picking mechanism, thereby improving the efficiency of the transfer vehicle in handling goods, Thereby, the efficiency of goods entering the warehouse is improved, and the logistics efficiency is improved; since the picking mechanism can move along the track component 3 on the surface of the shelf, each shelf is provided with a picking mechanism to realize the storage and retrieval operations of all storage positions on the shelf, thereby ensuring the efficiency of storage and retrieval while reducing logistics costs; furthermore, since the picking mechanism moves on the surface of the shelf, the track component 3 on the shelf can effectively support the picking mechanism, so that the influence of the increase in the height of the shelf on the operation stability of the picking mechanism is reduced, so that this kind of warehousing and logistics system can be suitable for the storage and retrieval needs of high shelves, as well as the storage and retrieval needs of low shelves, effectively improving the adaptability of the warehousing and logistics system to the environment and improving the versatility of the warehousing and logistics system.

[0085] In this embodiment, the shelf body 1 may include only one shelf unit, or include two shelf units arranged side by side along the first direction. Each shelf unit includes two pairs of support columns 12 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and each pair of support columns 12 includes two support columns 12 arranged opposite to each other and at intervals along the second direction. Each cargo compartment 11 is installed between four support columns 12. When there are more than two shelf units, two adjacent shelf units may share the support column 12 located therebetween, or adjacent support columns 12 of two adjacent shelf units may be arranged side by side.

[0086] Each cargo compartment 11 includes two crossbeams 111 spaced apart along the second direction, the crossbeams 111 extend along the first direction, and the two ends are connected to the two support columns 12 respectively. Preferably, fixed end plates 114 are provided at both ends of the crossbeams 111, and the fixed end plates 114 are connected to the support columns 12. A support beam 112 is connected between the two crossbeams 111, and the support beams 112 extend along the second direction and are spaced apart along the first direction, and the support beams 112 are used to support the cargo. A guide baffle 113 is provided on the support beam 112, and the guide baffles 113 located on the same cargo compartment 11 are opposite and spaced apart along the first direction, and a storage position is formed between two adjacent guide baffles 113. Both ends of each guide baffle 113 are tilted outward in a direction away from the corresponding storage position to guide the cargo into the storage position.

[0087] It is understandable that the structure of the shelf body 1 can be set with reference to the prior art, which is not the focus of the present utility model and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] A temporary storage component 2 is disposed under at least one shelf unit, that is, for a shelf whose shelf body 1 includes multiple shelf units, a temporary storage component 2 may be disposed under some shelf units, or may be disposed under all shelf units. The number of shelf units included in the shelf body 1 and the number of temporary storage components 2 may be flexibly set according to the floor space and storage logistics of the storage logistics system, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0089] In this embodiment, the temporary storage component 2 is provided with side openings on both sides of the second direction, and the goods can enter and exit the temporary storage position through any side opening. This arrangement allows the transfer vehicle to pick up and place the goods in the temporary storage position from any side of the shelf, reducing the restrictions on the operation track of the transfer vehicle and increasing the flexibility of the path planning of the transfer vehicle, thereby further improving the operation efficiency of the warehousing and logistics system;

[0090] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the temporary storage component 2 includes at least two temporary storage brackets 21 arranged at intervals along the first direction, a temporary storage position is formed between two adjacent temporary storage brackets 21, and the upper end of each temporary storage bracket 21 is connected to the lowest cargo compartment 11. By forming a temporary storage position between two adjacent temporary storage brackets 21, the bottom opening 23 and the openings on both sides of the temporary storage position are naturally formed through the gap between the two temporary storage brackets 21, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the temporary storage component 2 and reducing the processing difficulty of the temporary storage component 2; at the same time, this arrangement is conducive to realizing the universalization of the temporary storage brackets 21, so that the number of temporary storage brackets 21 can be reasonably selected according to the storage and warehousing requirements and the length of the shelf along the first direction, thereby improving the layout flexibility of the temporary storage component 2.

[0091] Each temporary storage rack 21 includes a hanging rack 211 and a bearing member 212. The upper end of the hanging rack 211 is connected to the shelf body 1, and a temporary storage position is formed between the two hanging racks 211. The bearing member 212 is installed at the lower end of the hanging rack 211 and extends in the direction toward the temporary storage position, and a bottom opening 23 is formed between the two bearing members 212 on both sides of the same temporary storage position. The portion of the bearing member 212 extending into the temporary storage position forms a supporting portion 2121 for supporting goods. The two supporting portions 2121 on both sides of the same temporary storage position are used to support the bottom of the goods, and a bottom opening 23 is formed between the two supporting portions 2121.

[0092] Furthermore, a connecting beam 22 is connected between two adjacent installation longitudinal beams 2111. The provision of the connecting beam 22 is conducive to ensuring the relative position accuracy between two adjacent temporary storage positions, thereby ensuring the width setting accuracy of the temporary storage positions in the first direction. In other embodiments, a connecting beam 22 is not provided between two temporary storage brackets 21. In this case, a positioning structure for installing and positioning the temporary storage brackets 21 can be provided on the mounting crossbeam 111 to ensure the position accuracy between the two adjacent temporary storage brackets 21.

[0093] The suspension rack 211 includes a mounting longitudinal beam 2111 extending along the second direction and a mounting vertical beam 2112 connected between the mounting longitudinal beam 2111 and the bearing member 212. The mounting longitudinal beam 2111 is fastened to the cargo compartment 11. Specifically, the two ends of the mounting longitudinal beam 2111 are fastened to the two rack cross beams 111, respectively. Thus, the installation convenience and installation stability of the temporary storage bracket 21 on the shelf body 1 can be ensured. Preferably, at least two mounting vertical beams 2112 are arranged at intervals along the second direction to improve the overall structural strength and rigidity of the suspension rack 211.

[0094] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , a limited step is arranged at the upper end of the frame cross beam 111, that is, the upper end of the frame cross beam 111 has a horizontal step surface 1111 and a vertical step surface 1112 which are vertically connected, the vertical step surface 1112 is connected to the side of the horizontal step surface 1111 away from the storage position, and the horizontal step surface 1111 is connected between the inner side surface of the frame cross beam 111 and the vertical step surface 1112. The two ends of the support beam 112 are respectively supported on the horizontal step surfaces 1111 of the two frame cross beams 111 and abut against the vertical step surface 1112. The two ends of the hanging frame 211 are respectively connected to the two frame cross beams 111, and the hanging frame 211 is arranged lower than the supporting beam 112 to avoid interference between the hanging frame 211 and the supporting beam 112, so that the arrangement of the hanging frame 211 will not affect the storage of goods in the storage position.

[0095] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in order to improve the installation convenience of the hanging frame 211 on the cargo compartment 11, the two ends of the hanging frame 211 are provided with mounting plates 2113, and the mounting plates 2113 are connected to the frame cross beam 111. The mounting plates 2113 include a vertically connected transverse plate portion 21131 and a vertical plate portion 21132, the transverse plate portion 21131 abuts against the horizontal step surface 1111, the vertical plate portion 21132 abuts against the inner side of the frame cross beam 111, and the vertical plate portion 21132 and / or the transverse plate portion 21131 are fastened to the frame cross beam 111. The structural setting of the mounting plate 2113 is conducive to the installation and positioning of the hanging frame 211 on the shelf body 1, improves the assembly efficiency of the temporary storage component 2 on the shelf body 1, and is also conducive to ensuring that the hanging frame 211 is installed below the support beam 112. In this embodiment, the two ends of the longitudinal beam 2111 are connected with mounting plates 2113.

[0096] In this embodiment, the bearing member 212 is a plate-like structure, and the two opposite sides of the bearing member 212 along the first direction both extend outward from the corresponding sides of the suspension frame 211, that is, each bearing member 212 is formed with two supporting portions 2121, and the two supporting portions 2121 can be set corresponding to two temporary storage positions. This arrangement can improve the versatility of the suspension frame 211, so that when two or more temporary storage positions are arranged side by side, the suspension frames 211 and bearing members 212 between the two temporary storage positions can be used universally. In other embodiments, the temporary storage assembly 2 can include only two temporary storage brackets 21, and one side of the bearing member 212 extends out of the suspension frame 211.

[0097] In order to improve the reliability of the temporary storage rack 21 in supporting the goods, a reinforcing component 213 is connected to the lower side of the carrier 212, and the reinforcing component 213 at least partially extends below the support portion 2121, and is used to partially reinforce the structure of the support portion 2121, so as to prevent the support portion 2121 from being dented or bent downward, and ensure the support stability of the goods. In this embodiment, the reinforcing component 213 extends along the first direction, and the two ends extend to the two support portions 2121 respectively. In other embodiments, the reinforcing component 213 can extend along the second direction and at least one is provided for each support portion 2121.

[0098] Preferably, the reinforcing member 213 and the mounting longitudinal beam 2111 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the reinforcing member 213, the bearing member 212 and the mounting longitudinal beam 2111 are fastened by the fixing members sequentially passing through the three, thereby realizing the connection between the bearing member 212 and the reinforcing member 213 and the mounting vertical beam 2112, while preventing the fastener 45 from being exposed on the upper side of the supporting portion 2121 and causing scratches on the goods. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 213 is provided with a mounting long hole 2131 extending along the first direction, and the fixing member is passed through the mounting long hole 2131, thereby being able to adjust the matching position of the fixing member and the reinforcing member 213, reducing the difficulty of assembling the three.

[0099] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 213 is in a U-shaped structure with an opening facing the center, so as to better ensure the structural strength and rigidity of the reinforcing member 213 itself, thereby enhancing the structural reinforcement effect on the support portion 2121. In other embodiments, the reinforcing member 213 may also adopt other structural forms, for example, the reinforcing member 213 may be a reinforcing rib convexly provided on the lower surface of the bearing member 212.

[0100] A guide member 214 is installed on the upper side of the carrier 212. The guide member 214 is located in the temporary storage position. The guide member 214 extends along the second direction and forms guide plate portions 2142 at both ends. The two guide plate portions 2142 are inclined in a direction away from each other and away from the corresponding temporary storage position. The above arrangement can guide the goods in and out of the temporary storage position through the two guide plate portions 2142, thereby improving the smoothness of the transfer vehicle to take and put the goods in the temporary storage position. At the same time, the arrangement of the guide member 214 can also prevent the goods from scratching the suspension frame 211, thereby improving the safety of taking and putting the goods.

[0101] The guide member 214 also includes a baffle portion 2141 connected between the two guide plate portions 2142 . The baffle portion 2141 is vertically arranged and extends along the second direction. The baffle portion 2141 can stop the goods from moving out of the temporary storage position along the first direction, and also prevent the goods from colliding with the suspension rack 211 .

[0102] In this embodiment, two guide members 214 are provided on the same carrier 212, and the two guide members 214 are respectively located on both sides of the suspension frame 211, and the two ends of the two guide members 214 are correspondingly abutted, so that the lower end of the suspension frame 211 is surrounded between the two guide members 214. Further, one end of each guide plate portion 2142 away from the baffle portion 2141 is bent to form a folded edge portion, and the folded edges of the two guide members 214 at the corresponding ends are relatively abutted to avoid the two ends of the guide member 214 from generating edges and causing scratches on the goods or the transfer vehicle. The folded edge portion is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0103] The two guide members 214 on the same bearing member 212 are connected by a connecting member 215 to prevent the guide member 214 from being deformed under the extrusion of the goods, thereby improving the overall structural strength and rigidity of the guide member 214 and ensuring the guiding reliability. The connecting member 215 is connected between the two baffle portions 2141 .

[0104] In order to improve the installation efficiency and installation reliability of the guide member 214 on the carrier 212, a positioning socket 317 is provided on each support portion 2121, and a positioning convex portion is provided at the lower end of the guide member 214, and the positioning convex portion is inserted into the positioning socket 317 to achieve the installation and positioning of the guide member 214 on the carrier 212. The positioning socket 317 preferably extends along the second direction, and at least two positioning sockets 317 are provided at intervals in the second direction, and the positioning convex portion is provided at the lower end of the baffle portion 2141 to improve the positioning reliability.

[0105] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the shelf can be a double-depth shelf or a single-depth shelf. The single-depth shelf means that each cargo compartment 11 has only one row of storage locations in the second direction, and the double-depth shelf means that each cargo compartment 11 has two rows of storage locations arranged side by side along the second direction, and the multiple storage locations in the two rows of storage locations are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0106] For single-depth racks, such as Figure 1 As shown, the temporary storage position extends from one side of the shelf to the other opposite side of the shelf, that is, the width of the temporary storage position along the second direction is roughly the same as the width of the storage position along the second direction. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the temporary storage position is located below a row of storage positions of the shelf body 1, and the storage positions below another row of the bottom cargo compartment 11 are left vacant to form a high-level passage, thereby facilitating the transfer vehicle to pass through the high-level passage below the storage positions on one side to perform a U-turn or rotation operation of the transfer vehicle, thereby improving the operation convenience of the transfer vehicle.

[0107] In the storage logistics system, multiple shelves are arranged at intervals along the second direction, wherein the shelf in the middle is a double-depth shelf, and the two shelves on the outermost sides are single-depth shelves, and an aisle for the transfer vehicle to run is formed between two adjacent shelves. For the single-depth shelf, the picking mechanism is arranged on the side of the shelf facing the aisle; for the double-depth shelf, the picking mechanism is arranged on the side of the shelf body 1 close to the temporary storage position, so that the picking mechanism can realize the transfer of goods between the temporary storage position and any storage position.

[0108] Preferably, the picking mechanism can pick up goods on the shelves on either side of the lane, that is, one picking mechanism is set up for each lane, which can reduce the number of picking mechanisms and avoid the problem of picking mechanism interference caused by setting picking mechanisms on both sides of the same lane. For double-depth shelves, when picking up and placing goods at the storage position on one side of the shelf corresponding to the temporary storage position, the storage and retrieval mechanism on the other shelf adjacent to the storage position on this side will pick up and place the goods.

[0109] Embodiment 2

[0110] This embodiment provides a shelf and a storage logistics system including the shelf. The shelf provided in this embodiment is a further improvement based on the shelf in the first embodiment. This embodiment will not repeat the same contents as the first embodiment.

[0111] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, in this embodiment, the track assembly 3 includes a transverse track 31 extending in a first direction. The transverse track 31 is detachably mounted on the frame crossbeam 111 of the cargo compartment 11 through the mounting frame 4. A plurality of mounting frames 4 are arranged at intervals along the direction of the frame crossbeam 111, so as to reduce the size of a single mounting frame 4 while ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation of the transverse track 31 on the frame crossbeam 111.

[0112] The transverse track 31 is installed on the side of the frame beam 111 away from the storage position, that is, the transverse track 31 is installed on the outside of the frame beam 111. The transverse track 31 has a first side portion 312 facing the cargo compartment 11, an upper mounting portion 314 is provided at the upper end of the first side portion 312, and a lower mounting portion 315 is provided at the lower end of the first side portion 312. The upper mounting portion 314 is hung with the mounting frame 4, and the lower mounting portion 315 is clamped with the mounting frame 4.

[0113] The shelf provided in this embodiment has the upper mounting portion 314 hung on the mounting frame 4 and the lower mounting portion 315 clamped on the mounting frame 4, so that the upper and lower ends of the transverse rail 31 are connected to the mounting frame 4, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the transverse rail 31 and the mounting frame 4, thereby ensuring the reliability of the setting of the transverse rail 31 on the shelf, and at the same time, it can improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the transverse rail 31 on the frame crossbeam 111, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the transverse rail 31; since the upper mounting portion 314 and the lower mounting portion 315 are both arranged on the side of the transverse rail 31 facing the frame crossbeam 111, it can effectively avoid the transverse rail 31 and the mounting frame 4 from being damaged. The connecting structure affects the flatness of the upper surface of the transverse rail 31, thereby improving the running stability and reliability of the cargo picking mechanism on the transverse rail 31; furthermore, since the upper mounting portion 314 is hung with the mounting frame 4, and the lower mounting portion 315 is clamped with the mounting frame 4, the extrusion force between the transverse rail 31 and the mounting frame 4 is concentrated on the lower side of the transverse rail 31, and the mounting frame 4 only plays a role of hanging support for the upper mounting portion 314, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the transverse rail 31 at the upper mounting portion 314, thereby slowing down or avoiding the deformation of the upper end of the transverse rail 31 due to the tightening stress, and further ensuring the flatness of the upper surface of the transverse rail 31.

[0114] The transverse track 31 includes a first side portion 312, a track plate portion 311, and a second side portion 313 connected to form a U-shaped structure. The first side portion 312 and the second side portion 313 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart in the second direction. The upper end surface of the track plate portion 311 forms a walking surface for the pickup mechanism to walk. The first side portion 312, the track plate portion 311, and the second side portion 313 are surrounded to form a track groove 316.

[0115] The mounting frame 4 includes a main frame body 41 and a crimping piece 42. The upper end of the main frame body 41 is hung with the upper mounting portion 314. The crimping piece 42 is detachably connected to the main frame body 41 and is surrounded by the main frame body 41 to form a slot 43. The lower mounting portion 315 is clamped in the slot 43. The above arrangement allows the main frame body 41 to be first mounted on the frame crossbeam 111 when assembling the transverse rail 31. Then, the installation and positioning of the transverse rail 31 is achieved through the hanging cooperation between the upper mounting portion 314 and the frame crossbeam 111. Thereafter, the crimping piece 42 is assembled with the main frame body 41 so that the lower mounting portion 315 is clamped between the crimping piece 42 and the main frame body 41. The cooperation between the lower mounting portion 315 and the slot 43 limits the lower mounting portion 315 from escaping upward from the mounting frame 4, thereby ensuring that the transverse rail 31 is stably installed on the frame crossbeam 111. Qualitative; at the same time, this arrangement forms a slot 43 through the cooperation between the crimping piece 42 and the main frame body 41, thereby clamping and preventing the lower mounting portion 315 from falling off, and by removing the crimping piece 42 from the main frame body 41, the lower mounting portion 315 can be separated from the mounting frame 4, and there is no need to deform the lower mounting portion 315 to achieve its entry and exit from the slot 43, so that no wear is caused to the lower mounting portion 315, and it is also beneficial to ensure the overall structural strength and rigidity of the lower mounting portion 315, and ensure the long-term performance of the transverse rail 31 and the mounting frame 4.

[0116] The slot 43 has an upward slot, and the width of the slot in the second direction is smaller than the width of the bottom of the slot 43 in the second direction, that is, the slot 43 has a limiting slot wall 4221 opposite to and spaced from the bottom of the slot 43, and the limiting slot wall 4221 abuts against the lower mounting portion 315 to limit the lower mounting portion 315 from escaping the slot 43 upward.

[0117] Specifically, the lower mounting portion 315 includes a lower connecting arm portion 3151 and a hook portion 3152. The lower connecting arm portion 3151 is connected between the first side portion 312 and the hook portion 3152. The lower connecting arm portion 3151 is inserted into the slot of the slot 43. The hook portion 3152 is clamped in the slot 43 and abuts against the upper slot wall of the slot 43. This facilitates the cooperation between the hook portion 3152 and the slot 43, and limits the upward shaking of the hook portion 3152 relative to the mounting frame 4. The slot walls on both sides of the slot 43 along the second direction are abutted against the hook portion 3152 to limit the sliding of the hook portion 3152 in the slot 43 along the second direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooperation between the lower mounting portion 315 and the mounting frame 4.

[0118] In this embodiment, the hook portion 3152 protrudes from the corresponding side of the lower connecting arm portion 3151 toward one side of the second side portion 313, and the side of the lower mounting portion 315 away from the second side portion 313 abuts against the main frame 41. This arrangement enables the limiting groove wall 4221 to be arranged on the crimping member 42, thereby simplifying the processing difficulty of the main frame 41; at the same time, it is beneficial to realize the positioning between the transverse rail 31 and the main frame 41 before the crimping member 42 is assembled through the abutment between the lower mounting portion 315 and the main frame 41, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy of the main frame 41, the crimping member 42 and the transverse rail 31.

[0119] In other embodiments, the hook portion 3152 may protrude from the corresponding side of the lower connecting arm portion 3151 on one side away from the second side portion 313 , and the lower mounting portion 315 may abut against the crimping member 42 on one side facing the second side portion 313 , and the limiting groove wall 4221 may be formed on the main frame body 41 .

[0120] Further, the crimping member 42 includes a pressing plate portion 421 and an upper limit portion 422 connected to the upper side of the pressing plate portion 421, the pressing plate portion 421 is opposite to the main frame body 41 and is arranged at intervals, the upper limit portion 422, the pressing plate portion 421 and the main frame body 41 are surrounded to form a slot 43, and the lower side of the upper limit portion 422 forms a limit slot wall 4221. The hook portion 3152 is clamped between the pressing plate portion 421 and the main frame body 41, and the lower connecting arm portion 3151 is clamped between the upper limit portion 422 and the main frame body 41.

[0121] In this embodiment, the limiting groove wall 4221 is inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the notch. This arrangement allows the limiting groove wall 4221 to gradually contact and fit with the upper end surface of the hook portion 3152 when the crimping member 42 approaches the main frame body 41, so as to ensure the downward pressing effect of the upper limit portion 422 on the hook portion 3152, ensure the clamping effect on the lower mounting portion 315, and avoid the matching of the limiting groove wall 4221 and the hook portion 3152 to affect the installation of the crimping member 42. The inclination angle of the limiting groove wall 4221 relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 20° to 45°. In other embodiments, the limiting groove wall 4221 can also be arranged horizontally.

[0122] The crimping piece 42 also includes a lower limit portion 423 connected to the lower side of the pressure plate portion 421. The lower limit portion 423 is located on the lower side of the main frame 41 and abuts against the lower end surface of the main frame 41 to achieve installation limit of the crimping piece 42 and the main frame 41, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy of the crimping piece 42, the main frame 41 and the transverse rail 31.

[0123] The crimping member 42 and the main frame 41 are preferably fastened with a fastening screw 44 to ensure the stability of the crimping member 42 and the main frame 41 after installation. At least two fastening screws 44 are preferably arranged at intervals along the first direction to further ensure the installation reliability of the crimping member 42 and the main frame 41. In this embodiment, the fastening screw 44 extends along the second direction and passes through the pressure plate portion 421 and the main frame 41 in sequence, and the fastening screw 44 is located below the lower mounting portion 315.

[0124] Specifically, the main frame body 41 includes a fixed plate portion 411, which is fitted and fastened to the frame crossbeam 111; a boss portion 413 is protruded from the lower end of the fixed plate portion 411 in the direction toward the transverse rail 31, the boss portion 413 extends along the first direction and abuts against the pressure plate portion 421, and the lower limit portion 423 abuts against the lower side of the boss portion 413, and the boss portion 413, the fixed plate portion 411 and the crimping member 42 are surrounded to form a slot 43. An internal threaded hole is provided on the boss portion 413, and a fixed through hole is provided on the pressure plate portion 421. The fixed through hole is aligned with the internal threaded hole one by one, and the fastening screw 44 passes through the fixed through hole and is screwed into the internal threaded hole. The fixed through hole is preferably a countersunk hole to prevent the head of the fastening screw 44 from protruding out of the crimping member 42.

[0125] The upper end of the mounting frame 4 is provided with a hook groove, and the upper mounting portion 314 is hung in the hook groove. Specifically, the upper mounting portion 314 includes an upper connecting arm portion 3141 and a hook portion 3142 connected at an angle, and one end of the upper connecting arm portion 3141 away from the hook portion 3142 is connected to a side of the first side portion 312 away from the second side portion 313, and the hook portion 3142 extends downward. The hook portion 3142 is inserted into the hook groove and abuts against the side of the hook groove facing the transverse track 31, and the upper connecting arm portion 3141 abuts against the upper end of the mounting frame 4, thereby making the bottom of the hook groove and the upper end of the mounting frame 4 support the upper mounting portion 314 upward, and the side groove wall of the hook groove restricts the hook portion 3142 from escaping from the hook groove along the second direction. Furthermore, the side of the upper end of the mounting frame 4 facing the transverse rail 31 abuts against the side of the first side portion 312 away from the second side portion 313 to achieve installation positioning and limiting of the mounting frame 4 and the transverse rail 31 in the second direction, thereby ensuring the installation reliability of the transverse rail 31 on the mounting frame 4.

[0126] The width of the hook groove along the second direction is greater than the size of the hook portion 3142 along the second direction, thereby reducing the extrusion of the mounting frame 4 and the frame beam 111 on the transverse rail 31, avoiding deformation of the upper end of the transverse rail 31, and also facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the upper mounting portion 314 relative to the mounting frame 4.

[0127] In this embodiment, the main frame 41 and the outer side surface of the cargo compartment 11 are combined to form a hook groove with an upper opening, and the upper mounting portion 314 is hooked and matched with the hook groove. The main frame 41 and the frame crossbeam 111 are combined to form the hook groove, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the main frame 41, and while ensuring the width of the hook groove, the size of the main frame 41 in the second direction is reduced. In other embodiments, the hook groove can also be directly formed at the upper end of the main frame 41.

[0128] Furthermore, a hanging plate portion 412 extends upward from the upper end of the fixed plate portion 411, and the hanging plate portion 412, the fixed plate portion 411 and the frame cross beam 111 together form a hook groove, and the hanging plate portion 412 is inserted into the groove formed by the first side portion 312 and the upper mounting portion 314. The upper end of the hanging plate portion 412 abuts against the upper connecting arm portion 3141, and the opposite sides of the hanging plate portion 412 abut against the first side portion 312 and the hook portion 3142 respectively.

[0129] In this embodiment, the main frame body 41 and the frame cross beam 111 are detachably connected, which can facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the installation components and improve the versatility of the installation components and the frame cross beam 111.

[0130] The frame crossbeam 111 is preferably a hollow structure to reduce the overall weight of the shelf body 1. In order to ensure the installation stability of the main frame 41 and the frame crossbeam 111, a reinforcement member 13 is fastened to the frame crossbeam 111, and the mounting frame 4 is connected to the reinforcement member 13 to avoid the problem that the mounting frame 4 is unstable on the frame crossbeam 111 due to insufficient wall thickness of the frame crossbeam 111. In this embodiment, the main frame 41 is connected to the reinforcement member 13.

[0131] Furthermore, a plug hole is provided on the frame cross beam 111, and the plug hole is arranged one-to-one with the reinforcement member 13. The reinforcement member 13 extends along the second direction and is inserted into the plug hole, so that the reinforcement member 13 is at least partially inserted into the frame cross beam 111. The mounting frame 4 is connected to the reinforcement member 13 by a fastener 45 passing through the mounting frame 4 and the reinforcement member 13. In this way, the length of the reinforcement member 13 along the second direction can be increased, the matching length of the reinforcement member 13 and the mounting frame 4 can be increased, and the assembly reliability can be improved. At the same time, it can also be avoided that the reinforcement member 13 protrudes too long from the frame cross beam 111, which causes the size of the mounting frame 4 along the second direction to increase, thereby improving the compactness of the structure.

[0132] Further, the reinforcement member 13 includes a mounting sleeve 131 and a limiting end portion 132 connected to one end of the mounting sleeve 131, the mounting sleeve 131 extends along the second direction and is inserted into the frame cross beam 111 through the insertion hole, and the limiting end portion 132 abuts against the outer side surface of the frame cross beam 111 and is restricted from passing through the insertion hole, and the fastener 45 is passed through the mounting sleeve 131. The inner hole of the mounting sleeve 131 is at least partially a threaded hole, and the fastener 45 is a fastening bolt.

[0133] The mounting frame 4 is provided with an avoidance groove 4111 on the side facing the frame cross beam 111, and the limit end 132 is accommodated in the avoidance groove 4111, so that the avoidance groove 4111 avoids the limit end 132. The main frame body 41 is provided with a countersunk through hole on the side away from the frame cross beam 111, and the fastener 45 passes through the countersunk through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting sleeve 131, and the screw head of the fastener 45 is sunken into the countersunk through hole to avoid scratching the transverse rail 31. In this embodiment, the upper end of the fixing plate portion 411 is thickened relative to the lower end, so as to facilitate the realization of the slot 43 and improve the matching reliability between the fixing plate portion 411 and the frame cross beam 111.

[0134] like Figure 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in this embodiment, the track assembly 3 also includes two busbars 32, which are spaced apart and arranged side by side in the track groove 316 along the width direction of the track groove 316, and the two busbars 32 are respectively a positive busbar and a negative busbar.

The cross-sectional shape of the first groove portion is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the sliding component 333. The sliding component 333 is slidably inserted in the first groove portion, and the connecting component 334 is penetrated in the second groove portion, and the sliding component 333 is restricted from entering the second groove portion. Thus, the position of the hanging clip 33 relative to the transverse track 31 in the vertical direction and the second direction can be limited by the cooperation between the sliding member 333 and the first groove portion, and the position of the hanging clip 33 relative to the transverse track 31 can be adjusted by the sliding of the sliding member 333 along the first groove portion, thereby improving the convenience of setting the hanging clip 33; furthermore, the two ends of the installation slide groove 318 are through-set, which is conducive to inserting the sliding member 333 into the installation slide groove 318 through the two ends of the installation slide groove 318. The connecting member 334 is preferably detachably connected to the sliding member 333 and / or the mounting seat portion 331.

[0139] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in this embodiment, the track assembly 3 includes at least two spliced ​​transverse rails 31, and the two transverse rails 31 can be spliced ​​along a first direction, thereby shortening the length of a single transverse rail 31 and reducing the difficulty of processing the transverse rail 31.

[0140] In order to improve the convenience of splicing and setting the transverse rail 31, at least two ends of the transverse rail 31 are provided with positioning holes 317, and two positioning holes 317 are provided at each end at intervals.
