The opening mechanism 22 is fixedly connected to the two-way telescopic fork 21. The two-way telescopic fork 21 is used to move the turnover box 13 in the inventory position 11 to the opening mechanism 22 and to move the turnover box 13 back to the inventory position 11. The opening mechanism 22 can drive the first bottom plate 133 to open the first accommodating channel 101, so that the goods in the first accommodating channel 101 fall into the first temporary storage box 24; the conveying mechanism 30 is used to convey the goods picked by the stacker 20 to the compound robot 40; the compound robot 40 is used to transport the goods conveyed by the conveying mechanism 30 to the picking area 701.

[0052] When the stacker 20 receives the pick-up signal, the stacker 20 moves to the storage position 11 corresponding to the shelf 10 according to the pick-up signal; first, the bidirectional telescopic fork 21 transports the turnover box 13 from the storage position 11 and positions the turnover box 13 on the unpacking mechanism 22; the unpacking mechanism 22 is controlled to open the first accommodating channel 101, so that the goods in the first accommodating channel 101 fall into the first temporary storage box 24; then the bidirectional telescopic fork 21 transports the turnover box 13 back to the storage position 11; then the stacker 20 moves to the conveying mechanism 30 and places the goods on the conveying mechanism 30; the conveying mechanism 30 transports the goods to the compound robot 40; finally, the compound robot 40 transports the goods transported by the conveying mechanism 30 to the pick-up area 701.

[0053] Therefore, the automated bulk picking and warehousing system of the present invention starts automatically picking goods when it transports the turnover box 13 to the bidirectional telescopic fork 21, achieving the purpose of quickly picking specific goods with high picking efficiency, and solving the problem of inefficient manual picking after the entire box is transported.

Figure 7 This is a rear view diagram of the turnover box and the unpacking mechanism of the present invention. Figures 3 to 7 The unpacking mechanism 22 includes a support base 221 and multiple sliding components 222 and multiple unpacking drivers 223 connected to the support base 221. Each sliding component 222 is corresponding to each first bottom plate 133. Each sliding component 222 is used to position each first bottom plate 133. Each unpacking driver 223 is linked to each sliding component 222. The unpacking driver 223 can drive the first bottom plate 133 to slide and block or open the first accommodating channel 101 through the sliding component 222.

[0055] The stacker 20 of the present invention uses the box opening mechanism 22 to drive the first bottom plate 133 to slide and block or open the first receiving channel 101. When picking goods, a specific first receiving channel 101 is selected, and the box opening driver 223 pushes the first bottom plate 133 outward via the sliding assembly 222, gradually opening the first receiving channel 101. When the first bottom plate 133 completely moves away from a first receiving channel 101, the goods fall out of the first receiving channel 101, achieving the purpose of picking specific goods. This improves picking efficiency and solves the problem of inefficient manual picking after transporting the entire box. Moreover, the turnover box 13 has the advantages of simple structure, ingenious and flexible design, and low manufacturing cost.
