[0050] The following Figures 1-7 specifically describes the highly efficient and automated three-dimensional warehouse for empty container boxes of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0051] The highly efficient and automated three-dimensional warehouse for empty container boxes of the embodiments of the present invention includes a warehouse body 100, a guiding device, a loading and unloading device 200, and a control system 400.
[0052] The warehouse body 100 is formed as a frame structure, and the frame structure includes an interactive operation area 120 and a stacking storage area. The interactive operation area 120 extends along the transverse direction of the warehouse body 100. The stacking storage area is composed of a plurality of lanes 110 extending along the longitudinal direction of the warehouse body 120. A plurality of storage units for accommodating empty container boxes 001 are provided in each lane 110. Each storage unit can stack a plurality of layers of empty container boxes 001 along the vertical direction of the warehouse body 100. The guiding devices are correspondingly arranged in the storage units. The guiding device includes a plurality of guide rail frames 300, and the guide rail frames 300 are arranged along the vertical direction of the warehouse body 100. The loading and unloading device 200 includes a stacking crane 230 provided on the lane 110, and the stacking crane 230 is used for stacking / transferring empty container boxes 001. The control system 400 is connected to the loading and unloading device 200 to control the start and stop of the loading and unloading device 200. That is to say, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 7As shown, the interactive operation area 120 first receives the empty container 001 from the container truck 002, and then transports the empty container 001 to the tunnel 110 through transshipment to facilitate the stacking of the empty container 001. Then, the empty container 001 is stacked in the stacking storage area through the control system 400 and the loading and unloading equipment 200, and a guide rail frame 300 is set in the stacking storage area. The guide rail frame 300 plays a guiding role in the process of stacking the empty container 001, thereby improving the stacking accuracy and land utilization rate of the empty container 001.
[0053] After stacking, the guide rail frame 300 can limit the empty container 001, so there is no need to install walls and lashing components, and there is no need to set a ceiling on the top, which can reduce the storage construction cost of the empty container 001.
[0054] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the efficient and automated container empty box warehouse is provided with a warehouse body 100 having a frame structure, and the loading and unloading equipment 200 is used to stack the empty container boxes 001 into the stacking storage area of the warehouse body 100 under the guidance of the guide rail frame 300, thereby improving the stacking accuracy and efficiency.
[0055] It is worth noting that for a warehouse body 100, there can be one interactive operation area 120, which can be relatively located on one side of the warehouse body 100 or in the middle of the warehouse body 100. There can also be two interactive operation areas 120, which can be located on either side of the lane 110 or combined in the middle of the lane 110. The interactive operation area 120 can improve the stacking efficiency and transfer efficiency of empty containers 001, separating the stacking loading process from the transfer unloading process, and improving the reliability of the loading and unloading equipment 200.
[0056] In addition, each interactive operation area 120 may also include a container truck operation area and a loading and unloading equipment interactive operation area. Specifically, in the container truck operation area, the container truck 002 carries the empty container 001 to the interactive operation area 120, and the container truck 002 interacts with the loading and unloading equipment 200 to unload the empty container 001. The container truck 002 may be a truck operating inside the terminal, that is, Figure 1 The container truck 002 shown in the figure is located at the lower left of the interactive operation area 120. The truck is used to transfer the empty container 001 in the terminal. It can also be a container truck 002 operating outside the terminal, that is, Figure 1The container truck 002 shown at the lower right of the interactive operation area 120 is used for loading and barge transportation of the empty container 001 outside the terminal. Finally, within the interactive operation area of the handling equipment, the handling equipment 200 interacts with each other to transfer the empty container 001 from the interactive operation area 120 to the roadway 110 for stacking.
[0057] Further, the guiding device is connected to the cross beam 100a of the warehouse body 100 through a flange. That is to say, the guide rail frame 300 is connected to the cross beam 100a of the warehouse body 100. The connection between the cross beam 100a and the column 100b can form the frame structure of the warehouse body 100. The cross beams 100a are arranged at intervals in the height direction so that the warehouse body 100 has better reliability and can also improve the connection reliability between the guide rail frame 300 and the warehouse body 100.
[0058] Four guide rail frames 300 are provided in each storage unit for respectively abutting against the four corners of the empty container 001. That is to say, as Figures 3-5 shown, four guide rail frames 300 are correspondingly arranged in each storage unit, and the four guide rail frames 300 respectively abut against the four corners of the empty container 001. Thus, during stacking, the four corners of the empty container 001 can be stacked in the storage unit under the guiding action of the four guide rail frames 300, which can further improve the stacking accuracy of the empty container 001.
[0059] Further, the guide rail frame 300 has a guide rail frame body 310 and a guide head 320. The guide rail frame body 310 is formed with two guiding parts respectively used for contacting the two sides of the corner of the empty container 001. The guide head 320 extends outwardly at the top of the guide rail frame body 310, and the included angle α between the extending direction of the guide head 320 and the vertical direction is 4° to 12°. That is to say, as Figure 6 shown, the two side walls of the corner of the empty container 001 contact the two guiding parts of the guide rail frame body 310 to guide the empty container 001; at the top of the guide rail frame body 310 (corresponding to Figure 6 above), a guide head 320 extending outwardly is provided, that is, the guide head 320 extends relative to the outside of the empty container 001, so that the empty container 001 can contact the guiding part of the guide rail frame body 310 under the guidance of the guide head 320, thereby avoiding the collision between the corner of the empty container 001 and the guide rail frame 300 due to the movement position error of the handling equipment 200, facilitating the empty container 001 to be quickly introduced into the guiding part of the guide rail frame body 310, and further improving the stacking efficiency. The included angle α between the extending direction of the guide head 320 and the vertical direction can be, for example, 4°, 6°, 8°, 10°, 12°. This is because too small or too large an included angle α is not conducive to quickly introducing the empty container 001 into the guiding part of the guide rail frame body 310.
[0060] Furthermore, the guide rail frame body 310 provided at the corner is formed into an L-shaped structure; the guide rail frame body 310 provided in the middle is formed into a T-shaped structure. That is to say, for the guide rail frame body 310 provided at the corner, that is, the guide rail frame body 310 on the left side as shown in Figure 5 , the guide rail frame body 310 can be formed into an L-shaped structure. The two sides of the L-shaped structure respectively form guiding parts that contact both sides of the corner of the empty container 001 of the container to guide the empty container 001 of the container provided at the corner; for the guide rail frame body 310 provided in the middle, the guide rail frame body 310 can be formed into a T-shaped structure. The T-shaped structure can be an integral type, that is, the guide rail frame body 310 in the middle as shown in Figure 5 , or it can be formed by directly welding two L-shaped steels or by welding two L-shaped steels through a connecting plate, that is, the guide rail frame body 310 on the right side as shown in Figure 5 . The guide rail frame body 310 with a T-shaped structure can contact the corners of two adjacent empty containers 001 of the container at the same time, which can reduce the space occupied by the guide rail 300 in the storage unit to further increase the capacity of the warehouse body 100.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the handling device 200 further includes a transfer gantry crane 210 and a horizontal transfer trolley 220. The transfer gantry crane 210 is arranged on the frame structure in the interactive operation area 120. The transfer gantry crane 210 is used to receive the empty container 001 on the container truck 002. The horizontal transfer trolley 220 is arranged adjacent to the transfer gantry crane 210. The transfer gantry crane 210 is further used to transfer the received empty container 001 to the horizontal transfer trolley 220. The horizontal transfer trolley 220 can travel along the longitudinal direction of the interactive operation area 120 to transport the empty container 001 to the bottom of the interactive operation area 120 at the corresponding position of the stacking gantry crane 230. That is to say, as shown in Figure 1 , the transfer gantry crane 210 grabs the empty container 001 on the container truck 002, and then places the empty container 001 on the adjacent horizontal transfer trolley 220. The horizontal transfer trolley 220 starts and carries the empty container 001 to travel along the longitudinal direction of the interactive operation area 120 to the bottom of the interactive operation area 120 at the corresponding position of the stacking gantry crane 230. By arranging the transfer gantry crane 210 and the horizontal transfer trolley 220 in the interactive operation area 120, the storage efficiency of the empty container 001 of the container can be improved.
[0062] Furthermore, the transfer gantry crane 210 includes a transfer gantry crane body 211 and a first spreader 212. The transfer gantry crane body 211 travels along the transverse direction of the interactive operation area 120. The first spreader 212 is connected to the transfer gantry crane body 211. The first spreader 212 can move up and down along the vertical direction of the interactive operation area 120. That is to say, as shown inFigure 1 As shown, the process of the transfer gantry crane 210 grasping the empty container 001 is as follows: the transfer gantry crane body 211 drives the entire transfer gantry crane 210 to move along the transverse direction of the interactive operation area 120 to directly above the empty container 001 on the container truck 002. Then, the first spreader 212 is activated, and the first spreader 212 lifts the empty container 001. The transfer gantry crane body 211 drives the entire transfer gantry crane 210 and the empty container 001 to move to directly above the horizontal transfer trolley 220. The first spreader 212 carrying the empty container 001 descends until it lands on the horizontal transfer trolley 220, thus completing the transfer of the empty container 001. By providing the transfer gantry crane body 211 and the first spreader 212, the storage efficiency of the empty container 001 is further improved.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, to further stack the empty container 001 in the interactive operation area 120 into the storage unit in the stacking storage area. The stacking gantry crane 230 includes a stacking gantry crane body 231, a translation trolley 232, and a second spreader 233. The stacking gantry crane body 231 moves along the longitudinal direction of the roadway 110. The translation trolley 232 is connected to the stacking gantry crane body 231, and the translation trolley 232 reciprocates along the transverse direction of the roadway 110. The second spreader 233 is connected to the translation trolley 232, and the second spreader 233 can move up and down along a direction perpendicular to the roadway 110. That is, as Figures 1-3 shown, the process of the stacking gantry crane 230 stacking the empty container 001 is as follows: driven by the stacking gantry crane body 231, the entire stacking gantry crane 230 moves along the longitudinal direction of the roadway 110 to directly above the corresponding position of the horizontal transfer trolley 220. Then, the second spreader 233 is activated, and the second spreader 233 descends along a direction perpendicular to the roadway 110 to the empty container 001 at the bottom of the interactive operation area 120. Then, the empty container 001 is lifted. Next, the second spreader 233 rises along a direction perpendicular to the roadway 110. Subsequently, the second spreader 233 carrying the empty container 001 moves to directly above the corresponding storage unit under the drive of the stacking gantry crane body 231 and the translation trolley 232. Finally, the second spreader 233 carrying the empty container 001 descends into the storage unit along the guiding portion of the guide rail frame 300. Stacking the empty container 001 by the stacking gantry crane 230 can improve the stacking efficiency of the empty container 001, and combined with the guiding effect of the guide rail frame 300, the stacking accuracy can be improved.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the warehouse body 100 can stack 6 to 20 layers of empty container 001 in the height direction. First, along the longitudinal direction of the warehouse body 100, the frame structure of each layer is divided to form a plurality of lanes 110. Then, along the transverse direction of the warehouse body 100, it is divided to form a plurality of storage areas, and a plurality of storage units for accommodating the empty container 001 are arranged in each storage area. For example, generally 2 forty-foot or twenty-foot empty containers 001 can be arranged in one storage area, and the empty containers 001 are evenly arranged in the transverse and longitudinal directions. By optimizing the design of the frame structure of the warehouse body 100, the capacity of the three-dimensional warehouse can be maximized. At the same time, the number of lanes 110 can be set according to the length of the warehouse body 100 in the transverse direction. One or two stacking cranes 230 can be arranged on each lane 110, and one transfer crane 210 and one or two horizontal handling trolleys 220 are arranged on every two to four lanes 110, and 2 to 5 container trucks 002 are configured. That is to say, on the basis of optimizing the design of the frame structure of the warehouse body 100, reasonably setting the number of stacking cranes 230, transfer cranes 210 and horizontal handling trolleys 220 in the handling equipment 200 and the number of container trucks 002 can further improve the stacking efficiency of the empty containers.
[0065] As some embodiments of the present invention, in addition to being used to connect with the handling equipment 200 to control the start and stop of the handling equipment 200, the control system 400 may further include a warehouse access control subsystem for controlling the opening and closing of the access of the warehouse body 100, a container truck positioning subsystem for controlling the stopping position of the container truck 002, and a video monitoring subsystem for monitoring the operation status of the three-dimensional warehouse. By setting each subsystem, the automation degree of stacking the empty container 001 can be improved, and the stacking efficiency can be further improved.
[0066] As some embodiments of the present invention, the highly efficient and automated three-dimensional warehouse for empty containers of the present invention may further include a warehouse management system 500. The warehouse management system 500 is connected to the control system 400. The warehouse management system 500 includes an identification module 510 and a container management module 520. The identification module 510 is used to identify the container number of the empty container 001 and the license plate of the container truck 002. The container management module 520 is used to record and store the storage status and storage location of the empty container 001. That is to say, as Figure 7As shown, first, the license plate of the container truck 002 is identified by the identification module 510. The control system 400 controls the container truck 002 to enter the corresponding interaction operation area 120, and controls the transfer gantry crane 210 to grab the empty container 001 on the container truck 002 onto the horizontal handling trolley 220 according to the position of the container truck 002. Then, the identification module 510 identifies the box number of the empty container 001. The control system 400 controls the horizontal handling trolley 220 to transport the empty container 001 to the corresponding position on one side of the roadway 110, and controls the second spreader 233 of the stacking gantry crane 230 to lift the empty container 001 according to the position of the empty container 001, and then stacks the empty container 001 into the storage unit at the corresponding position according to the box number of the empty container 001. Finally, the box number of the empty container 001 and the position of the corresponding unit are sent to the container management module 520, and the container management module 520 records and stores the storage status and storage position of the empty container 001. By setting up the warehouse management system 500, the automation degree of stacking the empty container 001 can be improved, and the stacking efficiency can be further improved.
[0067] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field, without departing from the principle described in the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
