[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , this embodiment provides a convenient - adjustment ultra - high shelf for an intelligent warehouse and its adjustment method, including a first side plate 1 and a second side plate 2, which facilitate the support and fixation of the internal structure of the shelf. One end of the first side plate 1 is fixedly connected to a servo motor 3. The output end of the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to a speed reducer to reduce the output speed. The output end of the speed reducer is fixedly connected to an active rotating shaft 4. The end of the active rotating shaft 4 away from the speed reducer is rotatably connected to a winding roller 5. One end of the active rotating shaft 4 passing through the second side plate 2 is sleeved with a conveyor belt 7. One end of the conveyor belt 7 away from the active rotating shaft 4 is wound around a driven rotating shaft 8. The end of the driven rotating shaft 8 away from the conveyor belt 7 is rotatably connected to a winding roller 5, which facilitates driving the driven rotating shaft 8 to operate by using the method of driving the active rotating shaft 4 to rotate by the servo motor 3 and the active rotating shaft 4 driving the conveyor belt 7 to rotate.

[0032] In order to address the situation that existing equipment cannot achieve the purpose of quickly changing the storey height, which is not conducive to storing goods of different heights, affects the use effect and utilization rate of the ultra - high shelf, and causes waste of the space on the ultra - high shelf.

[0033] A number of winding rollers 5 are rotatably connected to the driving rotating shaft 4 and the driven rotating shaft 8. A cable 9 is evenly wound around the winding rollers 5. Three winding rollers 5 are arranged at both ends of the driving rotating shaft 4 and the driven rotating shaft 8. The number of support blocks 11 is six. Every two support blocks 11 form a group, which are divided into three groups from the top to the bottom of the shelf. The cable 9 on the winding rollers 5 near both ends of the driving rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the uppermost support block 11. The cable 9 on the winding rollers 5 near the middle of the driving rotating shaft 4 passes through two support blocks 11 and is fixedly connected to the support block 11 on the next lower layer. And so on. The fixing method of the cable 9 on the winding rollers 5 of the driven rotating shaft 8 is the same.

[0034] In order to facilitate the control of changing two support blocks 11 at different positions to achieve the purpose of adjusting the storey height of different layers of the shelf, an electric push rod 6 is installed inside the winding roller 5. By turning on the electric push rods 6 inside the four outermost winding rollers 5, the electric push rod 6 drives the clamping block fixedly connected to the output end to move and clamp in the groove of the driving rotating shaft 4. At this time, by turning on the servo motor 3 to drive the driving rotating shaft 4 and the driven rotating shaft 8 to rotate, the four winding rollers 5 at both outermost ends can be driven to rotate. At this time, the limit blocks 14 on the corresponding support blocks 11 are moved out of the card slots 15 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the up and down movement of the support block 11 at one end of the topmost part. In order to prevent other winding rollers 5 from rotating due to the influence of friction, the limit blocks 14 are fixed in the card slots 15 by the spring 13 pressing. After the corresponding support blocks 11 of other corresponding winding rollers 5 are limited, the winding rollers 5 will not rotate due to the influence of friction. At this time, the storey height at one end of the topmost part of the ultra-high shelf is adjusted.

[0035] When it is necessary to adjust the storey height of other layers, the electric push rods 6 inside the winding rollers 5 corresponding to the support blocks 11 of different layers can be turned on. The winding rollers 5 are fixedly limited on the driving rotating shaft 4 and the driven rotating shaft 8. The winding rollers 5 wind up or release the cable 9 thereon to achieve the purpose of adjusting the height of different layers.

[0036] To address the problem that the support block 11 of the existing equipment lacks a limiting structure and is prone to changing height under heavy pressure, it is necessary to fix and limit the support block 11. The support block 11 is slidably connected inside the chute 10, which can limit the moving position of the support block 11, enabling the support block 11 to move along the position of the chute 10 on the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. Electromagnets 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the support block 11. A spring 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the support block 11 close to the electromagnet 12. A limiting block 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 13 away from the electromagnet 12. Card slots 15 are evenly opened on the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. The limiting block 14 is clamped inside the card slot 15. By driving the limiting block 14 to move through the spring 13, the limiting block 14 enters the card slot 15, fixing the position of the support block 11. By adsorbing the limiting block 14 with the electromagnet 12, the limiting block 14 squeezes the spring 13 back onto the electromagnet 12, facilitating the detachment of the limiting block 14 from the card slot 15 and facilitating the pulling of the support block 11 through the cable 9 to change its position.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , and further improvements are made on the basis of Embodiment 1:

[0039] Since the position of the goods on the ultra-high shelf is too high and it is troublesome to remove the goods, in order to facilitate the removal of the goods on the ultra-high shelf, through the support blocks 11 in pairs of two, a support rod is inserted between every two support blocks 11. A motor is fixedly connected inside the support rod. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected with a unidirectional threaded rod 16. A push block 17 is threadedly connected to the unidirectional threaded rod 16. One end of the bottom of the push block 17 is attached to the top of the support rod, achieving the purpose of limiting the position of the push block 17 and preventing the push block 17 from rotating as the unidirectional threaded rod 16 rotates. Three push blocks 17 are arranged between every two support blocks 11. By using the motor to drive the unidirectional threaded rod 16 to rotate, the push block 17 threadedly connected to the unidirectional threaded rod 16 moves, facilitating the removal of the push block 17, thereby pushing the goods out of the shelf.

[0040] In order to facilitate receiving the goods and removing the goods from the shelf, slots are opened on both the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. A motor is fixedly connected to one end inside the slot. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected with a lead screw 18. A first movable block 19 and a second movable block 20 are threadedly connected to the lead screw 18. One end of the first movable block 19 is rotatably connected to a support plate 21. The first movable block 19 is slidably connected inside the slot. One end of the top of the second movable block 20 is rotatably connected to a top rod 23. The second movable block 20 is slidably connected inside the slot. By using the lead screw 18 to drive the first movable block 19 and the second movable block 20 to move, the first movable block 19 and the second movable block 20 drive the support plate 21 to move, facilitating the support plate 21 to move to one end of the goods, cooperating with the push block 17 to push the goods onto the support plate 21 and receiving the goods for discharging.

[0041] Among them, the support plate 21 needs to be more stable to avoid bending when carrying too heavy goods, which may cause damage to it. A clamping block 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 21, and a clamping block 22 is sleeved on the end of the top rod 23 away from the second movable block 20, so that the top rod 23 can support the farther end of the support plate 21 to avoid it being damaged by the heavy pressure of the goods.

[0042] At the same time, in order to prevent the support plate 21 from occupying too much space when not in use, thereby affecting the passage of personnel and warehouse machinery and equipment, two clamping blocks 22 are symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the bottom of the support plate 21, and an opening adapted to the clamping block 22 is opened at one end of the top of the push rod 23. The clamping block 22 passes through the hole on the push rod 23 and is threadedly connected to a limiting nut at one end. By rotating the limiting nut and the elasticity of the push rod 23, the push rod 23 can be shifted to one end and removed from the clamping block 22. The other end of the support plate 21 is rotatably connected to the first movable block 19, thereby achieving the purpose of folding and storing the support plate 21.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
