[0042] Among them, the shipping channel 8 is located inside the cabinet body 1. For example, it can be located at the leftmost side inside the cabinet body 1. A conveying structure 5, which is arranged in the shipping channel 8 of the cabinet body 1 and can move along a second direction, is adapted to carry the storage boxes 3 and convey the storage boxes 3 to the inside and outside of the cabinet body 1; wherein, the second direction is consistent with the extending direction of the shipping channel 8.

[0043] Among them, a pick-up opening is provided on the side surface of the cabinet body 1, and the side surface where the pick-up opening is located is perpendicular to a third direction. Among them, the third direction is consistent with the telescopic direction of the loading platform 12, that is, the front-back direction.

[0044] For example, the pick-up opening can be arranged at the edge position of the side surface of the cabinet body 1, and the size of the pick-up opening can be designed according to the size of the storage box 3, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] Specifically, the cabinet body 1 can be a cabinet body 1 with a cuboid structure, and the interior of the cabinet body 1 is hollow. Among them, a plurality of storage racks 2 can be arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet body 1. For example, two storage racks 2 can be arranged from top to bottom, and the area between the two storage racks 2 forms a grasping space 9 for installing the grasping structure 4. For example, when the height of the cabinet body 1 is relatively high, four storage racks 2 can be arranged from top to bottom. Correspondingly, two grasping structures 4 need to be arranged. Among them, the storage rack 2 can be fixed to the inner side wall of the cabinet body 1 by bolts.

[0049] The conveying structure 5 provided by the present invention for the vertical automatic storage cabinet can be arranged in the delivery channel 8 inside the cabinet body 1. When the grasping structure 4 takes the storage box 3 off the storage rack 2, the storage box 3 is temporarily stored on the loading platform 12. The first base 11 can drive the loading platform 12 to move up and down. When the loading platform 12 is aligned with the pick-up port, the loading platform 12 extends from the pick-up port and sends the storage box 3 out of the cabinet body 1. With such a setting, the vertical automatic storage cabinet can be used to store items that are afraid of being knocked and bumped, improving the applicability of the vertical automatic storage cabinet.

The first guide rail 6 is arranged in the shipping channel 8 and extends along the second direction; the first base 11 is movably arranged on the first guide rail 6 along the second direction.

[0051] For example, both ends of the first guide rail 6 can be respectively welded to the top surface and the bottom surface of the cabinet body 1. A plurality of first sliders 7 can be arranged on the surface of the first base 11 facing the first guide rail 6. The first sliders 7 are slidably connected to the first guide rail 6 to reduce the friction between the first base 11 and the first guide rail 6. Among them, two first guide rails 6 can be arranged in parallel at intervals to improve the stability of the movement of the first base 11.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connecting part of the first driving member (not shown in the drawings) is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body 1, and the operating part of the first driving member is connected to the first base 11 and is adapted to drive the first base 11 to move.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first driving member includes a first motor, a belt, a rotating shaft and a connecting member; the first motor is adapted to be arranged in the cabinet body 1 of the vertical automatic storage cabinet; the rotating shaft is adapted to be arranged in the cabinet body 1 of the vertical automatic storage cabinet, and there is a preset interval between the rotating shaft and the first motor. The connecting line direction of the first motor and the rotating shaft is consistent with the extending direction of the shipping channel 8; the belt is wound around the output shaft of the first motor and the rotating shaft in sequence; one end of the connecting member is fixedly connected to the first base 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the belt and is adapted to make the first base 11 move along with the belt.

[0054] Among them, the first motor can be fixed to the top surface of the cabinet body 1 by bolts, the rotating shaft can be rotatably installed at the corresponding position on the bottom surface of the cabinet body 1 through a U-shaped bearing and a bearing seat, the belt is wound around the output shaft of the first motor and the rotating shaft, and when the first motor rotates, it can drive the belt to rotate. At the same time, a connecting member is welded on the side of the first base 11 close to the belt. Among them, the connecting member can be bonded to the belt, and clips can also be arranged on the connecting member to clamp the belt through the clips so that it can move synchronously with the belt, and finally drive the first base 11 to move up and down through the connecting member.

[0055] In this embodiment, the carrier 12 is arranged on the surface of the first base 11 facing away from the first guide rail 6, and the carrier 12 can move relative to the first base 11 along the third direction; among them, the third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. Among them, a second guide rail 18 can be arranged on the surface of the carrier 12 facing the first base 11, and a second slider 19 can be arranged on the surface of the first base 11 facing the carrier 12. The second slider 19 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 18.

[0056] In this embodiment, the conveying structure 5 for the vertical automatic storage cabinet further includes a second driving member 21. The connecting portion of the second driving member 21 is connected to the first base 11, and the operating portion of the second driving member 21 is connected to the loading platform 12, and is adapted to drive the loading platform 12 to move.

[0057] For example, the second driving member 21 includes a second motor, a screw rod, and a nut. The second motor is disposed on one side of the loading platform 12 facing the first base 11. The nut is fixedly disposed on one side of the first base 11 facing the loading platform 12. One end of the screw rod is inserted into the nut and is connected to the output shaft of the second motor.

[0058] Among them, the second motor can be installed on one side of the loading platform 12 facing the first base 11 through bolts. For example, the second motor and the output shaft can be connected to the screw rod through a coupling, or can be connected to the screw rod through a belt. The nut is sleeved on the screw rod, and the nut can be welded to one side of the second base 25 facing the loading platform 12. When the second motor rotates, it can drive the loading platform 12 to move back and forth relative to the first base 11.

[0059] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the screw rod from falling off the nut, a first limiting member 16 and a second limiting member 17 can be provided on the screw rod. For example, both the first limiting member 16 and the second limiting member 17 can be in a block structure. The first limiting member 16 is located on one side of the nut, and the second limiting member 17 is located on the other side of the nut. The sizes of the first limiting member 16 and the second limiting member 17 are both larger than the inner diameter of the nut. With such a setting, the loading platform 12 will not fall off the first base 11 when it extends forward or retracts backward.

[0060] For example, the loading platform 12 can be a flat plate structure, and a clamping member can be provided on the side of the loading platform 12 facing away from the first base 11. The clamping member includes two, and the two clamping members are respectively located at the edges of two different plate surfaces of the loading platform 12. The two clamping members cooperate with each other and are adapted to clamp the storage box 3.

The fixing plate 13 is perpendicular to the loading platform 12, and the fixing plate 13 can be welded to the plate surface of the loading platform 12. Among them, the elastic member 15 can be a spiral spring. One end of the spiral spring is welded to the fixing plate 13, and the other end is welded to the clamping piece 14. After installation, the clamping piece 14 is kept parallel to the fixing piece. Among them, two spiral springs can be symmetrically arranged to make the clamping force of the clamping member on the storage box 3 more uniform.

[0062] For example, the clamping piece 14 is an electromagnet, and iron pieces are arranged at corresponding positions on the outer side wall of the outer shell of the storage box 3. After the storage box 3 is transferred to the carrier 12, after the clamping piece clamps the storage box 3, the electromagnet is energized and adsorbs the iron piece, so that the storage box 3 can be fixed on the carrier 12 to prevent the storage box 3 from falling off the carrier 12 during the transfer process.

For example, in order to make the second base 25 run more smoothly, two third guide rails 20 can be arranged in parallel at intervals. Among them, the second base 25 can include a flat plate and two support rods 26. The two support rods 26 are located at the bottom of the flat plate and sandwich the flat plate in the middle. The plate surface of the flat plate is arranged vertically and perpendicular to the first direction. Both ends of the support rod 26 can extend beyond the flat plate along the second direction, so as to temporarily store the storage box 3 by using the extended parts of the support rod 26 and the flat plate. Several sliders can be welded to the bottom surface of the support rod 26, and the sliders are slidably connected with the third guide rail 20, so that the second base 25 can move left and right along the third guide rail 20.

[0069] In this embodiment, the storage rack 2 includes a mounting plate and a support 10; the mounting plate is arranged along the first direction, and the support 10 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate facing the grasping structure 4; a first clamping joint is arranged on the side of the storage box 3 facing away from the grasping structure 4, and the first clamping joint is detachably connected to the support 10.

[0070] For example, each storage rack 2 includes two mounting plates, the two mounting plates are arranged in parallel at intervals, a plurality of supports 10 are arranged at intervals on each mounting plate, and the supports 10 on the two mounting plates correspond to each other one by one.

[0071] For example, a second clamping joint is provided on one side of the storage box 3 facing the grasping structure 4; clamping grooves are provided at the ends of the first gripper and the second gripper away from the first base 11, and the clamping grooves are adapted to be clamped with the second clamping joint to pull out the first clamping joint from the support 10 or insert the first clamping joint into the support 10.

[0072] Among them, the structures of the first clamping joint and the second clamping joint can be the same to improve the versatility of the storage box 3. For example, the first clamping joint can be installed on the outer shell by screws. Among them, the first clamping joint can have a structure with larger ends and a smaller middle part. For example, one end of the first clamping joint away from the outer shell can be a spherical structure, and the end close to the outer shell can be a circular plate. The support 10 can be a cylindrical structure, and one end of the support 10 facing away from the mounting plate is an open structure for inserting the first clamping joint. During use, the end of the first clamping joint with a spherical structure can be inserted into the support 10.

[0073] Among them, the first gripper can be an L-shaped plate. The vertical section of the L-shaped plate is welded to the nut, and the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate is parallel to the third guide rail 20. Two clamping grooves can be arranged at intervals in the front-back direction on the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate. Taking the example of taking the storage box 3 above the second base 25, when the storage box 3 needs to be removed, first move the second base 25 to directly below the storage box 3. At this time, then raise the second gripper through the fifth driving member 24. After the height of the clamping groove is the same as that of the second clamping joint, then move the second base 25 in the second direction so that the clamping groove can clamp the part between the circular plate and the spherical structure. Then lower the second gripper through the fifth driving member 24 to pull out the first clamping joint from the support 10. As the second gripper descends until the storage box 3 is placed on the two support rods 26, at this time, move the second base 25 again to transfer the storage box 3 to the conveying structure 5.

[0074] In this embodiment, the storage box 3 includes a box body and an outer shell; a first clamping body is provided on the outer side wall of the box body, and a second clamping body is provided on the inner side wall of the outer shell. The first clamping body and the second clamping body are clamped to detachably arrange the box body in the outer shell; the first clamping joint and the second clamping joint are both provided on the outer side wall of the outer shell.

[0075] For example, the outer shell and the box body can be similar to the structure of a drawer, and the box body can be pulled out from the outer shell. For example, the first clamping body and the second clamping body can be magnets with opposite magnetic poles. The first clamping body can be adhesively connected to the box body, and the second clamping body can be adhesively connected to the outer shell.

[0076] During use, when the grasping structure 4 transfers the storage box 3 to the conveying structure 5, the first base 11 moves to the picking opening, the loading platform 12 extends forward, and the storage box 3 and the loading platform 12 can extend out from the picking opening together. After taking down the storage box 3, the loading platform 12 retracts.

[0077] If it is necessary to store the storage box 3 in the cabinet body 1, the storage box 3 can be placed on the loading platform 12 through the access opening. After the loading platform 12 retracts into the cabinet body 1, it is brought to the target height by the first base 11. At this time, the first gripper catches the first clamping joint, and the storage box 3 is removed from the loading platform 12. Then, the second base 25 is moved to move the storage box 3 below the target position. The first gripper drives the storage box 3 to descend, and the second clamping joint is inserted into the support 10 at the target position on the lower storage rack 2.
