[0052] Example 1

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 7 , this application relates to a container, comprising:

[0054] The cabinet 1 is provided with a delivery port 2;

[0055] A plurality of first storage mechanisms 3 are located in the cabinet 1 and are used to store goods or export stored goods;

[0056] The receiving mechanism 4 is located inside the cabinet body 1 and is used to receive the goods output by the first storage mechanism 3 and convey the goods to the shipping mechanism;

[0057] The shipping mechanism 5 is fixed on the cabinet body 1. The shipping mechanism 5 is used to receive the goods conveyed by the receiving mechanism 4, drive the shipping mechanism 5 to move, so that one end of the shipping mechanism 5 extends out of the shipping port 2 of the cabinet body 1 and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device, and the shipping mechanism 5 outputs the goods to the receiving part of the picking device.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the present pushing mechanism uses the receiving mechanism 4 to pick up the goods output by the first storage mechanism 3, convey the goods to the shipping mechanism 5, drive the shipping mechanism 5 to move, so that one end of the shipping mechanism 5 extends out of the shipping port 2 of the cabinet body 1 and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device, and the shipping mechanism 5 outputs the goods to the receiving part of the picking device. In this way, the purpose of directly pushing the goods to the receiving part of the picking device is achieved, and thus the technical effect of directly pushing the intact goods to the receiving part of the picking device is realized.

[0059] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, the shipping mechanism 5 includes:

[0060] The second storage mechanism 6 is used to receive the goods output by the receiving mechanism 4 or push the goods located inside to the front end of the second storage mechanism 6;

[0061] The first driving mechanism is connected to the second storage mechanism 6. The first driving mechanism is used to drive the second storage mechanism 6 to move, so that the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 extends out of the shipping port 2 of the cabinet body 1 and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device, and the second storage mechanism 6 pushes the goods located inside from the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 to the receiving part of the picking device.

[0062] Specifically, the second storage mechanism 6 receives the goods of the receiving mechanism 4 to complete the temporary storage of the goods. When the picking device arrives in front of the shipping port 2 of the cargo cabinet, the first driving mechanism drives the second storage mechanism 6 to move, so that the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 extends out of the shipping port 2 of the cabinet body 1 and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device, and the second storage mechanism 6 pushes the goods located inside from the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 to the receiving part of the picking device.

[0063] See Figure 2 Optionally, the first driving mechanism includes a first driving device 7, a linear guide rail 8 and a telescopic guide rail 9;

[0064] The fixed end of the telescopic guide rail 9 and the linear guide rail 8 are both fixed inside the cabinet body 1. The telescopic end of the telescopic guide rail 9 and the linear guide rail 8 are respectively connected to both sides of the second storage mechanism 6, and the linear guide rail 8 is relatively closer to the side wall of the cabinet body 1 than the telescopic guide rail 9;

[0065] The first driving device 7 is connected to the second storage mechanism 6. The first driving device 7 is used to drive the second storage mechanism 6 to move on the linear guide rail 8, so that the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 extends out of the delivery outlet 2 of the cabinet body 1 and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device.

[0066] In this embodiment, since there is a receiving mechanism 4 in this cargo cabinet, the receiving mechanism 4 can convey the goods in the cargo cabinet to the second storage mechanism 6. The linear guide rail 8 is relatively close to the side wall of the cargo cabinet compared to the telescopic guide rail 9. In this way, by setting the telescopic guide rail 9, a larger moving space can be provided for the receiving mechanism 4, avoiding the receiving mechanism 4 being interfered by the guide rail in its moving route. In addition, through the two guide rails, namely the linear guide rail 8 and the telescopic guide rail 9, not only the moving route of the second storage mechanism 6 is ensured, but also the second storage mechanism 6 can be stably supported.

[0067] See Figure 3 , optionally, the first driving mechanism includes a first guide rail 10, a second guide rail 11, a second driving device and a third driving device;

[0068] The second storage mechanism 6 is connected to the first guide rail 10. The second driving device is fixed on the first guide rail 10. The output end of the second driving device is connected to the second storage mechanism 6. The lower end of the first guide rail 10 is connected to the second guide rail 11. The third driving device is fixed on the second guide rail 11. The output end of the second driving mechanism is connected to the first guide rail 10. The second driving mechanism is used to drive the first guide rail 10 to move on the second guide rail 11, so that the first guide rail 10 drives the second storage mechanism 6 to move. The second driving device is used to drive the second storage mechanism 6 to move on the first guide rail 10, so that the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 extends out of the delivery outlet 2 of the cabinet body 1 and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device. The second storage mechanism 6 pushes the goods located inside from the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 to the receiving part of the picking device.

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting the second guide rail 11 and the third driving device, the secondary pushing of the second storage mechanism 6 can be realized. In this way, the maximum displacement of the second storage mechanism 6 can also be effectively increased. When the receiving part of the picking device is relatively far away, the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 can also be aligned with the receiving part of the picking device through the driving of the second driving device and the third driving device.

[0070] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 , optionally, the second storage mechanism 6 includes a cargo bin 12 and a conveying mechanism 13;

[0071] The cargo bin 12 is provided with a bin opening, and the bin opening is located at the front end of the second storage mechanism 6;

[0072] The conveying mechanism 13 is connected to the storage bin 12. The conveying mechanism 13 is used to move the goods located at the bin opening into the interior of the storage bin 12, or to move the goods located inside the storage bin 12 out of the bin opening.

[0073] The storage bin 12 is connected to the first driving mechanism. The first driving mechanism is used to drive the storage bin 12 to move, so that the bin opening of the storage bin 12 extends out of the delivery opening 2 of the container and aligns with the receiving part of the picking device.

[0074] Optionally, the pushing mechanism further includes a ranging device 14. The ranging device 14 is installed on the storage bin 12. The ranging device 14 is used to sense the position of the receiving part of the picking device.

[0075] In this embodiment, the ranging device 14 can be a laser ranging sensor or an ultrasonic ranging sensor, etc. Through the ranging device 14, the distance from the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 to the receiving part of the picking device can be sensed, which is convenient for controlling the extension amount of the front end of the second storage mechanism 6 extending out of the delivery opening 2 of the container.

[0076] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 Optionally, the receiving mechanism 4 includes: a frame 15, a horizontal guide rail 16, a vertical guide rail 17, a receiving tray 18, a fourth driving mechanism and a fifth driving mechanism;

[0077] The horizontal guide rail 16 is fixed on the frame 15. The frame 15 is fixed inside the cabinet body 1. The vertical guide rail 17 is slidably connected to the horizontal guide rail 16;

[0078] The receiving tray 18 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rail 17. A third pushing device is arranged on the receiving tray 18. The third pushing device is used to push the goods onto the second storage mechanism 6;

[0079] The fourth driving mechanism drives the vertical guide rail 17 to move horizontally along the horizontal guide rail 16;

[0080] The fifth driving mechanism drives the receiver to move vertically along the vertical guide rail 17.

[0081] In this embodiment, the function of outputting the goods is assigned to the receiving tray 18 that can move in the horizontal and vertical directions, and each good is transported onto the second storage mechanism 6 through the third pushing device on the receiving tray 18.

[0082] See Figure 5 Optionally, the delivery mechanism 5 includes a delivery door 19, a rotating shaft 20 and a second driving mechanism 21;

[0083] The shipping door 19 is connected to the shipping outlet 2 of the cabinet body 1 through a rotating shaft 20. The second driving mechanism 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 20. The second driving mechanism 21 drives the rotating shaft 20 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 20 drives the shipping door 19 to rotate, so that the part of the shipping door 19 inside the cabinet body 1 is aligned with the receiving mechanism 4, and the part of the shipping door 19 outside the cabinet body 1 is aligned with the receiving part of the receiving device. The receiving mechanism 4 outputs the goods onto the shipping door 19, and the goods slide through the shipping door 19 to the receiving part of the receiving device.

[0084] In this embodiment, adopting the above structure enables the goods output from the receiving mechanism 4 to directly slide into the receiving part of the picking device through the shipping door 19.

[0085] See Figure 6 , optionally, the receiving mechanism 4 includes: a frame 22, a receiving guide rail 23, a receiving tray 24, a shipping tray 25, and a third driving mechanism. Among them, the receiving guide rail 23 is vertically fixed on the frame 22, the frame 22 is fixed inside the cabinet body 1, and the third driving mechanism drives the receiving tray 24 and the shipping tray 25 to move in the vertical direction along the receiving guide rail 23;

[0086] A first pushing device 26 is arranged on the receiving tray 24, and a second pushing device 27 is arranged on the shipping tray 25. The first pushing device 26 is used to push the goods received from the first storage mechanism 3 onto the second pushing device 27, and the second pushing device 27 is used to push the goods onto the shipping door 19.

[0087] In this embodiment, the function of outputting the goods by the receiving mechanism 4 is assigned to the first pushing device 26 and the second pushing device 27 on the receiving tray 24 and the shipping tray 25. Each goods can be output from the cabinet outlet one by one, or the effect of outputting a large number of goods at one time can be achieved. Moreover, the receiving tray 24 and the shipping tray 25 only move reciprocally in the vertical direction and do not need to move horizontally, so the degree of freedom of the mechanism is reduced, thus greatly simplifying the structure.

[0088] See Figure 6 , optionally, this cabinet further includes at least one goods induction sensor 28; a fence 30 is arranged on the receiving tray 24, and the goods induction sensor 28 is installed on the fence 30. The goods induction sensor 28 senses the position of the goods on the receiving tray 24.

[0089] In this embodiment, by arranging the goods induction sensor 28 and the first pushing device 26, the purpose of avoiding collision between goods by sensing the position of the goods on the receiving tray 24 through the goods sensor is achieved, so that the receiving mechanism 4 can receive more goods at one time and ensure the integrity of the goods.

[0090] See Figure 1 and Figure 4, optionally, the goods receiving mechanism 4 includes: a frame 15, a horizontal guide rail 16, a vertical guide rail 17, a goods receiving tray 18, a fourth driving mechanism, and a fifth driving mechanism;

[0096] See Figure 7 , optionally, this goods cabinet further includes a charging device 29 for charging the goods picking device. The charging device 29 is arranged on the cabinet body 1 and is located directly below the goods outlet 2. The distance between the charging device 29 and the goods outlet 2 is a preset value, so that when the charging end of the goods picking device is plugged into the charging device 29, the goods outlet 2 is aligned with the goods receiving part of the goods picking device.

[0097] In this embodiment, the goods cabinet is configured such that the distance between the charging device 29 and the goods outlet is set to a preset value, so that when the charging end of the goods picking device is plugged into the charging device 29, the goods outlet 2 is aligned with the goods receiving part of the goods picking device, thereby achieving the purpose that the goods cabinet can accurately output the goods to the goods receiving part of the goods picking device.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, this pushing mechanism uses the goods receiving mechanism 4 to pick up the goods output by the first storage mechanism 3 and convey the goods to the goods output mechanism 5, driving the goods output mechanism 5 to move, so that one end of the goods output mechanism 5 extends out of the goods outlet 2 of the cabinet body 1 and is aligned with the goods receiving part of the goods picking device.
