In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted in actual size. It is stated in advance. The following embodiments will further explain the relevant technical content of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another. In addition, the term "or" as used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, depending on the actual situation.

[0064] [Example 1]

[0065] See also Figures 1 to 13 As shown, it is the first embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a serial storage system 100, which includes a feeding device 1, a distribution device 2 configured to correspond to the feeding device 1, a plurality of storage devices 3 configured to correspond to the distribution device 2, and a discharge device 4 configured to correspond to the distribution device 2. In this embodiment, the feeding device 1 and the distribution device 2 can be collectively defined (or named) as a distribution module 10.

[0066] It should be noted that, although the serial storage system 100 is described in this embodiment as comprising multiple devices (e.g., infeed device 1, distribution device 2, storage device 3, and outfeed device 4) that work together, the serial storage system 100 can be adjusted and varied based on design requirements and is not limited to the above. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the distribution module 10 or the distribution device 2 can be used independently (e.g., for sale) or in conjunction with other devices.

[0067] Furthermore, in the serial storage system 100 of this embodiment, the components in each device can be set at a predetermined position through a frame (such as the aluminum extruded frame in the accompanying drawings), and the moving components in each device can be driven by a suitable mechanism (such as a motor), which will not be further described below.

[0068] The feeding device 1 includes a material preparation area 11, a waiting area 12, and a material feeding and transferring mechanism 13. The material preparation area 11 is used to accommodate a plurality of materials 200. In this embodiment, each material 200 is disc-shaped with a through-hole formed at the center. The plurality of materials 200 can be strips of the same model and manually stacked along a height direction H on the material preparation area 11, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the plurality of materials 200 can be of a type or structure other than the aforementioned strips; alternatively, the plurality of materials 200 can be of different models; alternatively, the plurality of materials 200 can be mechanically transported to the material preparation area 11.

[0069] Furthermore, the waiting area 12 is spaced apart from the preparation area 11 and is operatively connected to the dispensing device 2. The feeding transfer mechanism 13 is disposed corresponding to the preparation area 11 and the waiting area 12 to transfer a material 200 from the preparation area 11 to the waiting area 12.

[0070] More specifically, the material transfer mechanism 13 includes a feed slide 131 and a feed robot 132. The feed slide 131 is positioned relative to the waiting area 12, and the feed robot 132 is positioned relative to the preparation area 11 and the feed slide 131 (e.g., the preparation area 11 and the feed slide 131 are located in the movement path of the feed robot 132). The feed slide 131 is used to transfer a material 200 from the preparation area 11 to the feed slide 131, allowing the material 200 to pass through the feed slide 131 and move to the waiting area 12.

[0071] In this embodiment, the feed slide 131 is movably arranged in the waiting area 12, so that the feed slide 131 can receive the material 200 from the feeding robot arm 132 at a position adjacent to the waiting area 12, and then move the feed slide 131 and the material 200 it receives back to the waiting area 12 together.

[0072] That is to say, from the perspective of the conveying route of the material 200, the feeding slide 131 can move between the preparation area 11 and the waiting area 12, so the feeding robot arm 132 does not need to move to the waiting area 12, thereby effectively avoiding the possibility of collision between the feeding robot arm 132 and the distribution equipment 2.

[0073] The dispensing apparatus 2 includes a batching device 21 and a delivery conveyor 22. In this embodiment, the delivery conveyor 22 is generally disposed below the batching device 21, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the delivery conveyor 22 may be disposed above or to the side of the batching device 21.

[0074] In this embodiment, the batching device 21 includes a plurality of input platforms 211, a batching transfer mechanism 212, and a plurality of drop platforms 213. The plurality of input platforms 211 are spaced apart and positioned above the output conveyor 22. The plurality of drop platforms 213 are positioned corresponding to the output conveyor 22 (e.g., each drop platform 213 is configured to drop the material 200 thereon onto the output conveyor 22). The plurality of drop platforms 213 are preferably adjacent to the plurality of input platforms 211, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0075] Furthermore, the material transfer mechanism 212 (such as a robotic arm) is set corresponding to the waiting area 12 and multiple input carriers 211 (such as the waiting area 12 and multiple input carriers 211 are located on the moving path of the material transfer mechanism 212), and is used to transport a material 200 from the waiting area 12 to any one of the multiple input carriers 211.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple storage equipment 3 are respectively arranged corresponding to multiple input platforms 211 of the batching device 21, and the positions of multiple storage equipment 3 also respectively correspond to multiple blanking platforms 213; that is, each storage equipment 3 in this embodiment corresponds to an input platform 211 and its adjacent blanking platform 213.

[0077] Furthermore, multiple storage devices 3 in this embodiment Figure 1 It is located only on one side of the batching device 21, but it can be adjusted according to design requirements; for example, Figure 4 As shown, the multiple input platforms 211 of the batching device 21 are staggered with each other so that the multiple storage devices 3 can be located on opposite sides of the batching device 21 respectively.

[0078] In more detail, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 ,as well as Figure 5 As shown, each storage device 3 can be used to transport and store the materials 200 located on the corresponding input platform 211; wherein, the material transfer mechanism 212 can transport the materials 200 from the waiting area 12 to the corresponding input platform 211 according to the storage capacity of each storage device 3, until any storage device 3 reaches its required storage capacity.

[0079] Furthermore, each storage device 3 can be used to transport a material part 200 from therein to the output conveyor belt 22; and in this embodiment, each storage device 3 can be used to transport a material part 200 from therein to the corresponding drop-off platform 213, so that the material part 200 passes through the drop-off platform 213 and falls onto the output conveyor belt 22.

[0080] Accordingly, the distributing apparatus 2 is provided with a plurality of drop platforms 213 to precisely control the drop height and impact force of any material 200 when it falls along the height direction H onto the output conveyor 22, thereby effectively reducing the probability of damage to the material 200. However, in other embodiments not shown, if the material 200 is less susceptible to damage, the distributing apparatus 2 may omit the plurality of drop platforms 213.

[0081] As described above, the serial storage system 100 disclosed in this embodiment can connect multiple storage devices 3 in series through the distribution device 2 (or distribution module 10) to operate in coordination with each other, so that multiple materials 200 can be dispersedly stored in multiple storage devices 3 or discharged separately from multiple storage devices 3, thereby reducing the risks and inconveniences that may be caused by the failure of a single storage device 3 and maximizing the value of multiple storage devices 3.

[0082] It should be noted that the multiple storage devices 3 in this embodiment have substantially the same structure. Therefore, for ease of description, the following description will only include the structure of one storage device 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the structures of the multiple storage devices 3 may also differ slightly from each other.

[0083] In more detail, if Figure 1 and Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the storage equipment 3 includes multiple racks 31, multiple targets 32, and a storage transfer mechanism 33. Each rack 31 has multiple storage positions 311 formed in the height direction H, and multiple targets 32 are mounted on each of the racks 31. In this embodiment, the multiple targets 32 are all located at the same height in the height direction H, and each target 32 ​​is defined as a reflector that records the position information of the corresponding rack 31.

[0084] Furthermore, the storage transfer mechanism 33 includes a clamping jaw 331 and a sensor 332 (e.g., a laser sensor) mounted on the clamping jaw 331. The sensor 332 moves synchronously with the clamping jaw 331 and can obtain position information of the multiple material racks 31 by sensing the multiple targets 32. This allows the storage equipment 3 to quickly adjust and calibrate the multiple storage levels 311 through the coordination of the storage transfer mechanism 33 and the multiple targets 32, thereby replacing the traditional manual adjustment and calibration method.

[0085] The gripper 331 is used to transport a material 200 from the corresponding input platform 211 to one of the storage positions 311. The gripper 331 can also be used to transport a material 200 placed in any storage position 311 to the output conveyor 22. In this embodiment, the storage device 3 uses the gripper 331 to transport a material 200 from within the storage device 3 to the corresponding drop-off platform 213, so that the material 200 passes through the drop-off platform 213 and falls onto the output conveyor 22.

[0086] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the discharge device 4 is provided corresponding to the output conveyor belt 22, and is used to transport the material 200 located on the output conveyor belt 22 into a material box 300 (e.g., the discharge device 4 is provided with a discharge area 45 for providing the material box 300). In this embodiment, the discharge device 4 includes a discharge conveyor belt 41, a plurality of positioning seats 42, a diversion mechanism 43, and a plurality of discharge transfer mechanisms 44, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the discharge device 4 may omit some of its components according to design requirements; or, the number of components used in the discharge device 4 may be adjusted according to design requirements (e.g., the number of positioning seats 42 is at least one; or the number of discharge transfer mechanisms 44 is at least one).

[0087] The leading end of the discharge conveyor belt 41 is connected to the trailing end of the output conveyor belt 22 to receive the material 200 conveyed by the output conveyor belt 22. In this embodiment, the discharge conveyor belt 41 is turned 90 degrees from the trailing end of the output conveyor belt 22. However, the connection angle between the discharge conveyor belt 41 and the output conveyor belt 22 can be adjusted according to design requirements and is not limited to this.

[0088] like Figure 1 、 Figure 8 ,as well as Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of positioning seats 42 are disposed at the rear end of the discharge conveyor belt 41 for receiving the material 200 conveyed by the discharge conveyor belt 41. A diverter mechanism 43 is disposed corresponding to the discharge conveyor belt 41 (e.g., the diverter mechanism 43 is disposed above the discharge conveyor belt 41 and in front of the plurality of positioning seats 42), and the diverter mechanism 43 can be driven to define a plurality of diverter paths P corresponding to the plurality of positioning seats 42.

[0089] The diversion mechanism 43 (e.g., at least one swing arm) can be used to move the multiple materials 200 conveyed by the discharge conveyor 41 to multiple diversion paths P, so that the multiple materials 200 are respectively placed on the multiple positioning seats 42. In other words, each positioning seat 42 can position a material 200 conveyed by the discharge conveyor 41 and located on the corresponding diversion path P, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0090] For example, if Figure 10 As shown, the number of diversion paths P and positioning seats 42 in the discharging device 4 can be increased according to design requirements; or, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the number of positioning seats 42 used in the discharging device 4 can be reduced to one according to design requirements, and the diversion mechanism 43 of the discharging device 4 is omitted.

[0091] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, multiple discharge transfer mechanisms 44 correspond to multiple positioning seats 42 and discharge areas 45, respectively. That is, each discharge transfer mechanism 44 is provided corresponding to a positioning seat 42 and a discharge area 45, and is used to transfer a material 200 from the corresponding positioning seat 42 to the material box 300 located on the discharge area 45, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the discharge equipment 4 may employ only one discharge transfer mechanism 44, and the discharge transfer mechanism 44 may correspond to multiple positioning seats 42.

[0092] Further, if Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the unloading and transferring mechanism 44 includes an arm 441, a grabber 442, a slide cylinder 443 connecting the arm 441 and the grabber 442, and a photoelectric sensor 444 mounted on the arm 441 and positioned corresponding to the grabber 442. The arm 441 can be moved relative to the grabber 442 by the slide cylinder 443, and the grabber 442 can be used to hold a material 200; and the photoelectric sensor 444 can be triggered (or driven) by the grabber 442 through the relative movement of the grabber 442 and the arm 441.

[0093] For example, when the arm 441 and the grabber 442 move relative to each other via the slide cylinder 443 , causing the grabber 442 to shield the photoelectric sensor 444 , the unloading device 4 can drive the grabber 442 to hold or release a material 200 based on the signal generated by the photoelectric sensor 444 .

[0094] From another perspective, in the process of the material 200 held by the discharge transfer mechanism 44 being transported into the material box 300, the arm 441 can move a preset distance relative to the grabber 442 (e.g., until the photoelectric sensor 444 is blocked by the grabber 442) when the grabber 442 touches the bottom of the material box 300 or touches other materials 200 placed in the material box 300, thereby ensuring that the material 200 held by the discharge transfer mechanism 44 is not in a suspended state, thereby preventing the material 200 from falling directly into the material box 300 in a free fall manner due to the grabber 442 releasing the material 200.

[0095] It should be noted that the structure of the feeder robot 132 in this embodiment can be identical or similar to that of the discharge transfer mechanism 44, and the feeder robot 132 can also be equipped with a photoelectric sensor (not shown) to provide the same operational functions and effects as the discharge transfer mechanism 44. Furthermore, in this embodiment, only a partial description of the structure of any transfer mechanism is provided, and any undescribed structural components (such as rails, motors, and other components) are generally disclosed in the accompanying drawings.

[0096] [Example 2]

[0097] See also Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present invention. Since this embodiment is similar to the above-mentioned first embodiment, the similarities between the two embodiments will not be repeated here. The differences between this embodiment and the above-mentioned first embodiment are roughly described as follows:

[0098] In this embodiment, the number of batching devices 21 included in the distribution device 2 is further limited to multiple, and the multiple batching devices 21 operate independently of each other and are arranged adjacent to each other at one end. In this embodiment, one end of each batching device 21 is adjacent to the waiting area 12 of the feeding device 1.

[0099] It should be noted that the specific configuration of the multiple batching devices 21 relative to the feeding equipment 1 can be adjusted according to design requirements, and the present invention is not limited thereto. To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, two possible configurations of the multiple batching devices 21 are described below. Figure 14 As shown, each batching device 21 is long, and one batching device 21 is arranged in a row along the long axis direction of another batching device 21; or Figure 15 As shown, a plurality of batching devices 21 and the waiting area 12 are arranged together in a T shape.

[0100] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the serial storage system 100 is only provided with multiple storage devices 3 on one side of each batching device 21, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the serial storage system 100 may be provided with multiple storage devices 3 on opposite sides of any batching device 21.

[0101] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the output conveyor belt 22 includes multiple conveying segments 221, each positioned to correspond to a plurality of batching devices 21, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the output conveyor belt 22 may comprise a single conveying segment 221 corresponding to a plurality of batching devices 21 arranged in a row. In this embodiment, the multiple conveying segments 221 are interconnected, and at least one conveying segment 221 is connected to the discharge conveyor belt 41, thereby enabling the multiple conveying segments 221 to cooperate with each other to transport the multiple material pieces 200 toward the discharge device 4.

[0102] [Technical Effects of the Embodiments of the Invention]

[0103] To sum up, the serial storage system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention can connect multiple storage devices in series through the distribution equipment or the distribution module to operate in coordination with each other, so that multiple materials can be stored in multiple storage devices in a dispersed manner or discharged from multiple storage devices separately, thereby reducing the risks and inconveniences that may be caused by the failure of a single storage device and maximizing the value of multiple storage devices.

[0104] Furthermore, the serial storage system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention uses the sensors of the storage transfer mechanism in the storage equipment to obtain the position information of multiple material racks by sensing multiple targets, thereby quickly realizing the point adjustment and correction of multiple storage positions, thereby replacing the previous manual point adjustment and correction method.

[0105] In addition, in the serial storage system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, when the discharge transfer mechanism transports the materials it holds into the material box, the arm can move a preset distance relative to the grabber (for example, until the photoelectric sensor is blocked by the grabber) when the grabber touches the bottom of the material box or touches other materials placed in the material box, thereby ensuring that the materials held by the discharge transfer mechanism are not suspended in the air, thereby preventing the materials from falling directly into the material box in a free fall manner due to the grabber releasing the materials.
