DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar items and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0044] Next, a vehicle storage warehouse according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle storage warehouse includes a first conveyor 200, a rotary conveyor 300, a track 510, a shuttle 520, a plurality of second conveyors 400 and a vehicle storage control system.

[0046] First, the first conveyor 200 and the rotary conveyor 300 will be described. The front of the first conveyor 200 faces the vehicle entrance 100. The rotary conveyor 300 is provided behind the first conveyor 200.

[0047] That is to say, the vehicle enters the first conveyor 200 from the vehicle entrance 100, with the front of the vehicle facing away from the vehicle entrance 100. By using the rotary conveyor 300, the vehicle is turned around so that the front of the vehicle faces the vehicle entrance 100, which is convenient for the vehicle to leave when the vehicle is picked up.

[0048] Next, the track 510 and the shuttle 520 are described. The track 510 is located behind the rotary conveyor 300 and extends in the left-right direction. The shuttle 520 is located on the track 510 and can travel along the direction in which the track 510 extends. The shuttle 520 includes a first conveying mechanism that can transport in the front-to-back direction.

[0049] The shuttle 520 can carry goods and move along the extension direction of the track 510, and can transfer the goods through the first conveying mechanism, so that one shuttle 520 can correspond to multiple first conveyors 200 or second conveyors 400, thereby avoiding the use of too many conveyors or conveying mechanisms, reducing the number of equipment used and the occupied area.

[0050] Next, the second conveyors 400 are described. The second conveyors 400 are disposed behind the track 510 and adjacent to each other on the left and right sides, and are all adjacent to the shelf entrance 600.

[0051] Multiple second conveyors 400 correspond to the shuttle vehicles 520. If one second conveyor 400 fails or is waiting for cargo to be transported, it will not affect the other conveyors, thereby increasing the redundancy of the warehouse and improving efficiency. Moreover, multiple second conveyors 400 can realize the transmission of different types of vehicles.

[0052] Optionally, each second conveyor 400 includes a plurality of third conveying mechanisms adjacent to each other, each third conveying mechanism can transfer pallets or pallets of carrying vehicles to each other, and every two second conveyors 400 correspond to one shelf entrance and exit 600 .

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, each second conveyor 400 includes two adjacent third conveying mechanisms, which allows two goods to be transported on the second conveyor 400, thereby improving the efficiency of transporting goods. It should be noted that the above is only an optional example, and the second conveyor 400 may also include three or four adjacent third conveying mechanisms, which should also be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0054] Every two second conveyors 400 correspond to one shelf entrance and exit 600. Thus, the cargo transportation efficiency can be improved, and the inefficiency of one conveyor corresponding to one shelf entrance and exit 600 is avoided, and the inefficiency of too many conveyors corresponding to the shelf entrance and exit 600 causing congestion is avoided.

[0055] Finally, the vehicle storage control system is described. The storage control system connects the first conveyor 200, the rotary conveyor 300, the shuttle 520, and the plurality of second conveyors 400 to control the first conveyor 200 to receive pallets and receive and carry vehicles on the pallets; control the rotary conveyor 300 to receive pallets carrying vehicles from the first conveyor 200 and rotate the pallets carrying vehicles 180 degrees; control the shuttle 520 to receive pallets carrying vehicles from the rotary conveyor 300; and control one of the second conveyors 400 to receive pallets carrying vehicles from the shuttle 520 and transfer the pallets carrying vehicles to an external device so that the external device can store the pallets carrying vehicles on a shelf.

[0056] The vehicle storage control system coordinates the first conveyor 200 , the rotary conveyor 300 , the shuttle vehicle 520 and the second conveyor 400 , so that vehicles can be stored efficiently.

[0057] In the above vehicle storage warehouse, the parking control system controls the first conveyor 200 to receive the pallet, and the driver drives onto the pallet and gets off. The parking control system controls the first conveyor 200 and the cargo transfer conveyor to operate, so that the rotary conveyor 300 receives the pallet carrying the vehicle, and controls the rotary conveyor 300 to rotate the pallet carrying the vehicle 180 degrees, so that the front of the vehicle faces the vehicle entrance 100 when the vehicle is picked up, which is convenient for the driver to pick up the vehicle. The shuttle car 520 is controlled to move on the track 510 and stop behind the rotary conveyor 300, and the shuttle car 520 is controlled to move. The first conveying mechanism and the rotary conveyor 300 of the shuttle 520 are operated, so that the shuttle 520 receives the pallet carrying the vehicle, and the shuttle 520 is controlled to move on the track 510 and stop in front of an idle and normally operating second conveyor 400. The first conveying mechanism and the second conveyor 400 of the shuttle 520 are controlled to operate so that the second conveyor 400 receives the pallet carrying the vehicle, and the second conveyor 400 is controlled to dock with an external device, and the pallet carrying the vehicle is transferred to the external device, and the pallet carrying the vehicle is stored in the shelf through the external device. In this way, as long as one of the multiple second conveyors 400 is working properly, the warehouse can operate, with high redundancy, and can efficiently store vehicles. The vehicle can also be turned around by the rotary conveyor 300, making it convenient for drivers to pick up the vehicle and improving the efficiency of picking up the vehicle.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle storage warehouse further includes a vehicle retrieval control system. The vehicle retrieval control system is connected to the first conveyor 200, the rotary conveyor 300, the shuttle 520, and the plurality of second conveyors 400 to control the second conveyors 400 to receive pallets of vehicles carrying the vehicle from external equipment, control the shuttle 520 to receive pallets of vehicles carrying the vehicle from the second conveyors 400, control the rotary conveyor 300 to receive pallets of vehicles carrying the vehicle from the shuttle 520, and control the first conveyor 200 to receive pallets of vehicles carrying the vehicle from the rotary conveyor 300.

[0059] The vehicle retrieval control system controls the second conveyor 400 to dock with external equipment to receive the vehicle's pallet, controls the shuttle 520 to dock with the second conveyor 400 to receive the vehicle's pallet, controls the shuttle 520 to dock with the rotary conveyor 300 to receive the vehicle's pallet, controls the rotary conveyor 300 to dock with the first conveyor 200 to receive the vehicle's pallet, and then controls the driver to board the first conveyor 200 and drive the vehicle away. Thus, the shuttle 520 allows simultaneous retrieval of the stored vehicle, allowing for simultaneous storage and retrieval, with one second conveyor 400 performing the retrieval process while the other second conveyor 400 performs the storage process, improving vehicle storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0060] Furthermore, the vehicle storage warehouse also includes a pallet conveyor 700 and a pallet control system. The pallet conveyor 700 is arranged on the left or right side of the first conveyor 200 and is located in front of the track 510. The pallet control system connects the multiple second conveyors 400, the pallet conveyor 700, and the first conveyor 200 to control one of the second conveyors 400 to receive a pallet transported from an external device, control the shuttle 520 to receive a pallet from the second conveyor 400, control the pallet conveyor 700 to receive a pallet from the shuttle 520, and control the first conveyor 200 to receive a pallet from the pallet conveyor 700.

[0061] That is, the pallet control system controls the second conveyor 400, the first conveyor 200, and the pallet conveyor 700, controlling the second conveyor 400 and the pallet conveyor 700 to transfer pallets from the left and right sides of the first conveyor 200 to the first conveyor 200. This facilitates the timely replenishment of pallets on the first conveyor 200 after one vehicle has finished storing pallets, allowing for the storage and retrieval of pallets by another vehicle, thereby improving efficiency. It should be noted that the above is merely an optional example, and the pallet control system can also perform the opposite action, storing pallets on shelves via external equipment, and all of this should be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0062] Optionally, the pallet conveyor 700 includes a plurality of fourth conveying mechanisms adjacent to each other, and each of the fourth conveying mechanisms can transfer pallets to each other.

[0063] Two pallets can be allowed to be on the second conveyor 400 to improve the efficiency of transporting pallets. It should be noted that the above is only an optional example, and the pallet conveyor 700 can also include three or four fourth conveying mechanisms adjacent to each other, which should also be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0064] For example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pallet conveyor 700 includes two fourth conveying mechanisms.

[0065] Furthermore, the vehicle storage warehouse also includes a first access platform 810 and a second access platform 820. The first access platform 810 is positioned between the first conveyor 200 and the pallet conveyor 700 and is equipped with a second conveying mechanism capable of left and right transport. The second access platform 820 is positioned on the side of the first conveyor 200 opposite the pallet conveyor 700. Drivers board or disembark vehicles via the first access platform 810 or the second access platform 820. A pallet control system is also connected to the first access platform 810, controlling the first conveyor 200 to receive pallets from the pallet conveyor 700 via the first access platform 810.

[0066] Drivers can get off or get on the vehicle through the first traffic platform 810 or the second traffic platform 820, and avoid the operating first conveying platform in time to increase personnel safety. The first traffic platform 810 and the second traffic platform 820 can facilitate drivers to pick up or store the vehicle. One traffic platform is corresponding to the driver getting off the vehicle when parking the vehicle, and the other traffic platform is corresponding to the driver getting on the vehicle when picking up the vehicle.

[0067] Furthermore, there are multiple first conveyors 200 and multiple vehicle entrances and exits 100, and the multiple first conveyors 200 correspond one to one with the multiple vehicle entrances and exits 100. There are multiple rack entrances and exits 600, with one corresponding to every two second conveyors and one corresponding to every two second conveyors 400. The vehicle storage control system stores vehicles on the rack based on the availability of the multiple vehicle entrances and exits 100, the multiple first conveyors 200, the multiple second conveyors 400, and the multiple rack entrances and exits 600. The vehicle retrieval control system retrieves vehicles from the rack and places them on the first conveyor based on the availability of the multiple vehicle entrances and exits 100, the multiple first conveyors 200, the multiple second conveyors 400, and the multiple rack entrances and exits 600. The idle state refers to a state where there is no cargo and the racks are operating normally.

[0068] For example, Figure 2 As shown, if a collision occurs at one of the vehicle entrances and exits 100 or one of the first conveyors 200 fails, the operation can be carried out through other vehicle entrances and exits 100 and other first conveyors 200 to improve redundancy.

[0069] Multiple vehicle entrances and exits 100, multiple first conveyors 200, multiple second conveyors 400 and multiple shelf entrances and exits 600 are controlled by a vehicle storage control system and a vehicle retrieval control system. The transfer of one or more shuttle vehicles 520 can realize synchronous vehicle storage and simultaneous vehicle retrieval. That is, some vehicles pass through the vehicle storage control system at some vehicle entrances and exits 100, pass through the first conveyor 200, the rotary conveyor, and transfer to the second conveyor 400 through the shuttle, and pass through the shelf entrances and exits 600 for storage. Some vehicles pass through the vehicle retrieval control system at some shelf entrances and exits 600, pass through the second conveyor, transfer to the shuttle through the rotary conveyor, pick up the vehicle through the first conveyor 200, and leave the warehouse through the vehicle entrances and exits 100. Vehicle storage and retrieval can use the same equipment and paths, and can be stored and retrieved according to the idle situation, thereby improving the efficiency of vehicle storage and retrieval and meeting the diverse needs of customers.

[0070] It should be noted that the above are only optional examples. It is also possible that every three or four second conveyors 400 correspond to one shelf entrance or exit, which should all be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0071] Furthermore, every two first conveyors 200 correspond to one pallet conveyor 700 , and the pallet control system controls one pallet conveyor 700 to transfer the pallet to the two first conveyors 200 corresponding thereto.

[0072] The pallet control system controls a pallet conveyor 700 to transfer pallets to two second conveyors, that is, the pallet control system controls the second conveyor 400, the shuttle and the pallet conveyor 700 to transfer pallets to a first conveyor 200 from its right side and to another first conveyor 200 from its left side, thereby reducing the number of pallet conveyors 700 in the warehouse, reducing the occupied area and improving the utilization rate of the pallet conveyor 700.

[0073] Furthermore, the vehicle storage warehouse includes a first storage area and a second storage area. The first storage area corresponds to the vehicle storage control system and the pallet control system. The second storage area corresponds to the vehicle retrieval control system and the pallet control system. Multiple shuttle vehicles 520 are provided, corresponding to the first storage area and the second storage area.

[0074] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the system is divided into storage area A and storage area B. Area A is used for vehicle retrieval (outbound) and includes one vehicle entrance and exit 100. Area B is used for vehicle storage (inbound) and includes two vehicle entrances and exits 100. Two shuttle vehicles 520 are provided, traveling on track 510 to store and retrieve vehicles. The second conveyor 400 includes six rack entrances and exits 600, including three.

[0075] Vehicles can be stored and retrieved simultaneously through the vehicle storage control system, vehicle retrieval control system, and pallet control system. This saves equipment downtime and changeover time, and enables a cross-operation mode of simultaneous storage and retrieval.

[0076] It should be noted that the above are only optional examples. If one area fails, the other area can take over. For example, if the first storage area fails, the second storage area can handle the storage and retrieval operations, corresponding to the storage control system, retrieval control system, and pallet control system.

[0077] Furthermore, the track 510 includes multiple sections of transport lanes 511 and connecting lanes 512. The multiple sections of transport lanes 511 are spaced apart along the left-right direction, with each section of the transport lane 511 corresponding to a different area. The connecting lane 512 is provided in the gap between two adjacent transport lanes 511 and is located on the side of the transport lanes 511 facing the first conveyor 200. Shuttles 520 are provided on both the transport lanes 511 and the connecting lanes 512. The shuttles 520 on the connecting lanes 512 transfer pallets on the shuttles 520 or pallets on the carrier vehicles between two adjacent transport lanes 511.

[0078] For example, Figure 3 As shown, it is divided into storage area A, storage area B, and storage area C. There are two transmission lanes 511, one corresponding to area A and area B, and another corresponding to area C. There is a connecting lane 512 between areas B and C. The shuttle 520 on the connecting lane 512 can transfer the degassing of pallets or load vehicles on the shuttle 520 in area A to the shuttle 520 in area B, and can also transfer the degassing of pallets or load vehicles on the shuttle 520 in area B to the shuttle 520 in area A.

[0079] When there are a lot of entrances and exits, the track 510 is too long, the shuttle 520 will move slowly on the track 510, and it is easy for one shuttle 520 to wait for another shuttle 520, which will affect the vehicle storage efficiency to a certain extent. By setting up multiple transmission channels 511, the vehicle storage efficiency can be improved. Moreover, when a failure occurs in one of the areas, the shuttle 520 on the connecting channel 512 can transfer the goods, so as to maintain the operation of the warehouse. For example, if the equipment in area C fails, the shuttle 520 can transfer the vehicle at the corresponding shelf entrance 600 in area C to area A or area B for access, thereby improving the redundancy of the warehouse.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
