[0048] That is to say, the second three-dimensional shelves 21 are divided into multiple equal parts, and the second three-dimensional shelves 21 in each part are arranged adjacent to each other at the head and tail along their length directions to form a row or a column; the first three-dimensional shelves 11 in each row or each column are arranged at intervals and in parallel alignment.

[0049] Of course, the second three-dimensional shelves 21 in each row or each column can be closely connected, or a small gap can be provided, or the second three-dimensional shelves 21 in each row or each column are integral shelves.

[0050] It is also possible to provide an interval between every two second three-dimensional shelves 21 arranged in rows or columns; the second three-dimensional shelves 21 arranged in rows or columns between adjacent groups are arranged adjacent to each other closely or with a small gap, saving space.

[0051] Correspondingly, the second automatic storage and retrieval device 22 is respectively arranged in the intervals between rows or between columns for automatically storing and retrieving batteries 23 on each second storage location 211. Of course, the second automatic storage and retrieval device 22 can also be arranged between every two adjacent second three-dimensional shelves 21 arranged in rows or columns, so that each second automatic storage and retrieval device is responsible for storing and retrieving the batteries 23 on the second three-dimensional shelves 21 on both sides of it.

[0052] The outbound area 3 includes at least one processing area 31 and multiple automatic outbound devices; the processing area 31 is connected to the bare vehicle storage area 1 and the battery storage area 2, and is used to receive the bare vehicle removed by the first automatic storage and retrieval device 12 from the first storage location 111 on the first three-dimensional frame and the battery 23 removed by the second automatic storage and retrieval device from the second storage location 211 on the second three-dimensional shelf 21, and install the battery 23 onto the bare vehicle to assemble a complete vehicle 37. The automatic outbound device automatically sends out the complete vehicle 37 assembled in the processing area 31.

The existing warehouse management system (WMS) preliminarily integrates the accessory information entered for warehousing and gives the best storage plan and location. According to the storage plan and location, the warehouse scheduling system (WCS) controls the shuttle vehicle 42 to distribute and warehouse the accessories.

[0079] After receiving the personalized requirements of the order, the warehouse scheduling system (WCS) generates the optimal outbound plan, controls the shuttle vehicle 42 to transport and outbound the accessories; and sends the accessories to the processing area for assembly with the bare vehicle to form an integrated and convenient processing mode.

[0080] In addition, the accessories are transported to the accessory storage area 4 in containers in the form of full pallets or full large boxes. Therefore, before warehousing and shelving, the accessory storage area 4 will perform a "re-packaging" operation on these accessories, that is, splitting the full pallets and large boxes into individual small boxes. The accessory storage area 4 is provided with multiple shuttle cars 42 for storing and shipping the smaller packaged accessories after subcontracting. By building a dense automated stereoscopic warehouse in the warehouse and using containers 48 of appropriate size as master appliances to hold several small boxes of accessories, in the logistics mode of integrating storage and distribution, multiple lanes 44 are introduced and shuttle cars 42 are respectively configured to cooperate with the fourth lifting device 43 and the conveyor line to handle the accessories, realizing automated storage and three-dimensional "goods-to-person" picking.

[0081] In the accessory storage area 4, each layer of the fourth stereoscopic shelf 41 has a shuttle car 42, and each lane 44 has a fourth lifting device 43. Each fourth lifting device 43 can only move at the fixed end of the lane 44. In the accessory storage area 4, the storage unit is no longer a pallet or a bin, but a container 48 of multiple master appliances. Each container 48 can hold several small boxes of accessories. When warehousing, the warehousing picking personnel place the corresponding small boxes in the container 48 according to certain rules according to the system prompt, and bind the accessory information in the small box with the container 48. The inventory management system will assign a storage location for it according to the types of accessories carried in the container 48. The staff will place the container 48 containing multiple small boxes on the conveyor belt, and it will be lifted by the fourth lifting device 43 to the entrance of the lane 44 on the designated layer. Then the shuttle car 42 on this layer will place the container 48 in the designated storage location according to the instruction. When shipping, the inventory management system determines the layer of the fourth stereoscopic shelf 41 and the lane 44 where the container 48 carrying the shipped accessories is located. The shuttle car 42 on this layer moves to the storage location of the container 48 and transports it to the entrance of the lane 44. Then the fourth lifting device 43 takes the master appliance to the first floor and transports it to the picking table through the conveyor belt for sorting. The picking personnel pick the required accessories from the small box. After picking is completed, the container 48 returns to the warehouse along the reverse path.

[0082] The present invention also discloses an electric bicycle warehousing method, which includes:
