Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent warehousing technology, and in particular to a server-based intelligent warehousing system. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and assembly of servers, there is a mismatch between production and delivery. In other words, server products coming off the production line cannot complete the warehousing and outbound delivery process in a timely manner, which affects the efficiency of the entire warehousing system.

[0003] The main reason is that, in existing technologies, product storage methods mostly employ either flat warehouses or vertical warehouses. However, flat warehouses have low space utilization, and all inbound and outbound operations are done manually, requiring a large number of personnel, resulting in extremely high labor intensity for material handling and low inbound and outbound efficiency. On the other hand, vertical warehouses have higher equipment requirements, necessitating the layout of conveyor lines for product transfer and shelves for product storage. This results in higher initial investment costs and poor economic efficiency. Furthermore, vertical warehouses have requirements regarding the weight, shape, and size of goods, leading to poor product compatibility. In other words, existing warehousing methods still have significant shortcomings in terms of initial cost investment and warehouse space utilization.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a server-based intelligent warehousing system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0058] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the embodiment provides a server intelligent warehousing system for completing the storage and delivery of server products 400. The server intelligent warehousing system comprises a packing and stacking area 1, a flat warehouse storage area 2, a vertical warehouse storage area 3, a delivery and preparation area 4 and a conveying line.

[0059] Among them, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the packing and stacking area 1 is arranged on the first floor 100, which is used for completing the packing and stacking of servers and marking the storage location information of the stacked servers. Above the first floor 100, a plurality of second floors 200 are sequentially stacked, and the flat warehouse storage area 2 is arranged on each second floor 200. The first floor 100 and the plurality of second floors 200 have a hollow area 300 therebetween, and the vertical warehouse storage area 3 is located in the hollow area 300. The delivery and preparation area 4 is arranged on the first floor 100, and the conveying line comprises a circulating line 51 arranged around the vertical warehouse storage area 3. The circulating line 51 can selectively convey the stacked servers to the flat warehouse storage area 2 and the vertical warehouse storage area 3 according to the storage location information, and the servers in the flat warehouse storage area 2 and the vertical warehouse storage area 3 can be output to the delivery and preparation area 4 through the circulating line 51.

[0060] In the embodiment, the warehousing system comprises a first floor, a second floor, a third floor and a fourth floor (1F, 2F, 3F and 4F in Figure 1 ), wherein the first floor 100 is located on the first floor, and the positions of the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor are all second floors 200, Figure 2 is a top view of the first floor, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 are top views of the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor respectively. The top view of the area where the warehousing space is located is a sector, and the position of the sector near the center is the above-mentioned hollow area 300 (as shown in Figure 6 ), the shelves 31 of the vertical warehouse storage area 3 are vertically arranged on the first floor and penetrate through the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor, and the flat warehouse storage area 2 is arranged in the sector area of the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor. In addition, the areas of the first floor, the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor except the warehousing space are used for completing the server assembly and production work.

[0061] When the server intelligent warehousing system is in operation, the operating personnel packs and stacks the completed servers in the packing and stacking area 1, and marks the storage location information of the stacked servers. The storage location information can indicate whether the servers should be stored in the flat warehouse storage area 2 or the vertical warehouse storage area 3. In this way, when the servers need to be stored, the circulating line 51 can transport the servers on it to the corresponding storage area according to the storage location information, completing the storage operation. At the same time, when the servers need to be taken out, the operating personnel only needs to confirm whether the servers needed for delivery are located in the flat warehouse storage area 2 or the vertical warehouse storage area 3 according to the order information, and then adjusts the corresponding servers from the flat warehouse storage area 2 or the vertical warehouse storage area 3 according to the storage location information to complete the delivery.

[0062] The vertical warehouse storage area 3 of the server intelligent warehousing system is located in the hollow area 300 between the first floor 100 and the plurality of second floors 200, and each second floor 200 is provided with a flat warehouse storage area 2, so that the same warehouse space simultaneously has flat warehouse storage function and vertical warehouse storage function. The above structure layout design can classify the produced server products 400 according to their characteristics and store them as needed, which is beneficial to product delivery in the later stage, and makes the warehouse space have the storage advantages of vertical and flat warehouses, which can reduce the overall investment cost of the warehousing system and reduce the work intensity of the operating personnel. On the other hand, the combination of the flat warehouse storage area 2 and the vertical warehouse storage area 3 fully utilizes the warehouse space and effectively improves the warehousing capacity of the warehouse space.

[0063] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 , the flat warehouse storage area 2 has a plurality of flat warehouse locations 21 in the fan-shaped area, and the stacked servers are placed in the flat warehouse locations 21 after being transported to the corresponding floor. The flat warehouse storage area 2 of each second floor 200 can store the same number of server products 400, greatly improving the warehousing capacity.

[0064] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 , the delivery preparation area 4 is provided with a delivery outlet 41, and the server products 400 ready for delivery are transferred to the transportation equipment (such as a transport vehicle) through the delivery outlet 41 to be delivered to various destinations.

[0065] In this embodiment, the warehousing system further includes a control unit, a data storage unit and a storage location management software. The storage location management software can identify the product information and the storage location information of the servers and upload them to the data storage unit for storage. The control unit can control the operation of the conveying line according to the product information and the storage location information of the servers, so as to transfer the servers of corresponding product types to the flat warehouse storage area 2 and the vertical warehouse storage area 3, realizing the intelligent storage of the servers.

[0066] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10The conveying line body further comprises a first conveying line 52 and a second conveying line 53. One end of the first conveying line 52 is located in the packing and stacking area 1, and the other end is connected with the circulating line 51, and is used for conveying the stacked servers. One end of the first conveying line 52 is connected with the circulating line 51, and the other end is connected with the second conveying line 53. The circulating tray 20 on the circulating line 51 can be conveyed to the first conveying line 52 through the second conveying line 53, and the circulating tray 20 is used for carrying the stacked servers. That is, the empty circulating tray 20 is transferred to the first conveying line 52 by the circulating line 51 and the second conveying line 53. The operator stacks the packed servers on the circulating tray 20 of the first conveying line 52 in the packing and stacking area 1, and marks the storage location information. The circulating tray 20 carrying the servers is transferred to the circulating line 51 along with the first conveying line 52. At this time, under the action of the control unit, the circulating line 51 will convey the servers to the vertical storage area 3 or the horizontal storage area 2 according to the storage location information, so that the servers are stored in the horizontal storage area 2 or the vertical storage area 3. The arrangement of the first conveying line 52 and the second conveying line 53 enables the empty circulating tray 20 and the stacked servers to be sequentially transferred on the circulating line 51, thereby completing the sequential storage of different types of server products 400.

[0067] Optionally, referring to Figure 8 The vertical storage area 3 is provided with a plurality of vertically arranged shelves 31 (that is, the shelves 31 are vertically arranged in the hollow area 300), Figure 9 The side view of one of the shelves 31 is shown. Each shelf 31 has a plurality of vertical storage locations 311, and the server products 400 can be stored in the vertical storage locations 311. Further, the circulating line 51 is provided with a plurality of entrances 5111 and a plurality of exits 5112 on the first section 511. The plurality of entrances 5111 and the plurality of exits 5112 are arranged alternately, and each shelf 31 has one entrance 5111 and one exit 5112. The arrangement of the plurality of exits 5112 and the plurality of entrances 5111 enables the storage and retrieval operations of the servers of each shelf 31 to be independent of each other, which is beneficial to improve the storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0068] Continuing to refer to Figure 8 A stacking device 6 is arranged between adjacent entrances 5111 and exits 5112. The stacking device 6 is used for transferring the servers at the corresponding entrances 5111 to the shelves 31, and transferring the servers on the shelves 31 to the corresponding exits 5112. The stacking device 6 can realize automatic storage and retrieval of the servers, save labor, and reduce the working intensity of the operators. Exemplarily, the stacking device 6 is a stacker.

[0069] As Figure 8As shown, the server transferred to the circulating line 51 from the first conveying line 52 enters from the leftmost entrance 5111 of the first section 511, and if the server needs to be put into the vertical warehouse, the stacking device 6 will transfer the server to the corresponding vertical warehouse position 311, complete the warehousing operation, and the corresponding warehouse position management software will upload the server's warehouse position information to the data storage unit. If the vertical warehouse position 311 of the leftmost shelf 31 is full, the server is output from the leftmost exit 5112 to the next entrance 5111, and the warehousing operation is completed by the stacking device 6 at this position. In this way, the server is output from the leftmost exit 5112 to the next entrance 5111, and finally output to the second section 512 of the circulating line 51 by the rightmost exit 5112, and transported to the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 by the circulating line 51 to complete the warehousing operation.

[0070] Of course, if the current server needs to be put into the horizontal warehouse, the server is output via the leftmost exit 5112 to the next entrance 5111, and finally output to the second section 512 of the circulating line 51 by the rightmost exit 5112, and transported to the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 by the circulating line 51 to complete the warehousing operation.

[0071] Optionally, referring to Figure 8 , the circulating line 51 is provided with a first entrance and exit 5121 on the second section 512, and the first entrance and exit 5121 is connected with the lifting mechanism 8. Each second floor 200 is provided with a transition line body 201 (as shown in Figure 6 ), and the second section 512 is connected with the transition line body 201 of each second floor 200 through the lifting mechanism 8. The server entering or exiting the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 is output or input via the first entrance and exit 5121. When the server needs to be put into the horizontal warehouse, the server is transferred to the transition line body 201 of the second floor 200 by the lifting mechanism 8, and then transported to the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 through the transition line body 201. The operator in the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 can put the server into the corresponding horizontal warehouse position 21. When the server in the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 needs to be taken out for delivery, the operator transfers the server to the lifting mechanism 8, and the lifting mechanism 8 transports the server to the first entrance and exit 5121. The operator on the first floor then transfers the server to be delivered to the delivery preparation area 4 for delivery. The existence of the lifting mechanism 8 can selectively transfer the server to the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 on the second floor, the third floor or the fourth floor, or transport the server in the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 to the first entrance and exit 5121, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the server, saving manpower, and improving work efficiency.

[0072] Exemplarily, the first entrance and exit 5121 is provided with two on the second section 512 to ensure the efficiency of warehousing and delivery.

[0073] Optionally, referring to Figure 6The transition line body 201 on each second floor 200 is provided with an upper line port 2011 and a lower line port 2012. The upper line port 2011 is opposite to the lifting mechanism 8. The server in the flat warehouse storage area 2 can be transported to the flat warehouse storage area 2 through the lifting mechanism 8, the transition line body 201 and the lower line port 2012. The server in the flat warehouse storage area 2 can be transported to the first entrance and exit 5121 through the upper line port 2011 and the lifting mechanism 8. In the embodiment, two upper line ports 2011 are provided, and the two upper line ports 2011 correspond to the two lifting mechanisms 8 one by one. When the server in the flat warehouse storage area 2 is shipped, the operator transfers the server to the upper line port 2011, and the lifting mechanism 8 transports the server downward to the first entrance and exit 5121 on the first floor. Then the operator transfers the server from the first entrance and exit 5121 to the shipping and restocking area 4. When the server needs to enter the flat warehouse, the lifting mechanism 8 transports the server upward to the transition line body 201, and then the server is output through the lower line port 2012 on the uppermost floor. The operator transfers the server at the lower line port 2012 to the flat warehouse storage area 2 for storage. By providing the upper line port 2011 and the lower line port 2012, the storage and shipment of the server are not interfered with each other, and the efficiency of the storage and shipment of the server can be improved. Figure 6

[0074] Optionally, referring to Figure 8 , the circulating line 51 is provided with a second entrance and exit 5122 on the second section 512 and / or the fourth section 514. The server in and out of the vertical warehouse storage area 3 is output or input through the second entrance and exit 5122. When the server in the vertical warehouse storage area 3 needs to be shipped, the stacking device 6 transfers the server on the corresponding vertical warehouse storage position 311 to the outlet 5112 of the first section 511, and then the server is transferred to the second entrance and exit 5122 through the circulating line 51. Then the operator transfers the server at the second entrance and exit 5122 to the shipping and restocking area 4 for shipping preparation.

[0075] In addition, if the server product 400 stored in the first floor fan-shaped area needs to enter the flat warehouse, the server product 400 can be transported to the flat warehouse storage area 2 through the lifting mechanism 8 at the first entrance and exit 5121 to complete the operation of entering the flat warehouse. At the same time, if the server product 400 stored in the first floor fan-shaped area needs to enter the vertical warehouse, the server product 400 can enter the circulating line 51 through the second entrance and exit 5122, and then the server product 400 is transferred to the inlet 5111 of the first section 511 through the circulating line 51 to complete the operation of entering the vertical warehouse.

[0077] Optionally, referring to Figure 10 , the packing and stacking area 1 is provided with a packing station 11, a transport tool 12 and a stacking port 13, the stacking port 13 is connected with the circulation line 51, the packing station 11 is used to complete the packing of the server, the transport tool 12 is used to transfer the packed server to the stacking port 13 for stacking, and the operator marks the storage location information of the stacked server at the stacking port 13. In the embodiment, the stacking port 13 is located at the end of the first conveying line 52, and four stacking ports 13 are provided to ensure the online speed of the server product 400. The upstream of the packing station 11 is a material conveying area, the assembled server finished product is transferred from the material conveying area to the packing station 11, the operator places the server in the carton at the packing station 11 for packing treatment, and the packed server is transferred to the stacking port 13 through the transport tool 12 to complete the stacking, and the operator marks the product information and the storage location information of the stacked server according to the server type at the stacking port, so as to determine whether the server enters the horizontal storage area 2 or the vertical storage area 3, and the server with the marked information can be online at the stacking port 13.

[0078] As shown in Figure 12 , usually when the server is shipped, multiple cartons of servers are stacked on a wooden pallet 30, and after the stacking is completed, a film wrapping machine is used for film wrapping treatment to prevent the stacked servers from falling during transportation. In order to prevent the outer packaging carton of the server from being damaged during the conveying process of the conveying line body and affecting the quality of the server product 400, the embodiment uses a circulating pallet 20 to carry the server to flow on the conveying line body (since the wooden pallet 30 has poor strength and cannot flow on the conveying line body for a long distance). At the same time, in order to avoid the need to retransfer the servers on the circulating pallet 20 to the wooden pallet 30 for stacking when shipping, the wooden pallet 30 carrying the servers is placed on the circulating pallet 20 (as shown in Figure 13 ) when stacking at the packing and stacking area 1, so that the circulating pallet 20 carries the wooden pallet 30 and the servers to flow on the conveying line body, and only the circulating pallet 20 needs to be removed when shipping, without the need to re-stack the servers. The above method can not only prevent the server from being damaged during the conveying process on the conveying line body and protect the server, but also avoid re-stacking the server, saving time and effort. Exemplarily, the circulating pallet 20 is made of plastic injection molding and has good structural strength.

[0079] Further, as shown in Figure 11As shown, the transport tool 12 is provided with a bracket 121 and a suction device 122. At the packaging station 11, the operator places the wooden pallet 30 on the bracket 121, and the bracket 121 transfers the wooden pallet 30 to the stacking port 13 and stacks it on the circulating pallet 20 at the stacking port 13. Then, the suction device 122 sucks and lifts the packaged server at the packaging station 11, and then transfers it to the stacking port 13 and stacks it on the wooden pallet 30. Thus, the server product 400 is stacked, and the circulating pallet 20 carrying the wooden pallet 30 and the server flows downward along the first conveying line 52. The suction device 122 can be a vacuum suction cup, which is convenient to control. The operator can control the suction device 122 to suck or release the packaged server by pressing a button at the packaging station 11.

[0080] Optionally, referring to Figure 8 , the first exit 5121 is connected with a first de-stacking and stacking device 9, and the second exit 5122 is connected with a second de-stacking and stacking device 10. The first and second de-stacking and stacking devices 9 and 10 are used to separate the circulating pallet 20. When the server on the circulating line 51 needs to be stored in the flat warehouse storage area 2, the circulating pallet 20 carrying the wooden pallet 30 and the server passes through the first de-stacking and stacking device 9 to separate the circulating pallet 20 from the wooden pallet 30. The circulating pallet 20 returns to the circulating line 51 for reuse, and the wooden pallet 30 carrying the server is conveyed upward by the lifting mechanism 8 to the flat warehouse storage area 2 for storage. That is, the circulating pallet 20 only flows on the conveying line and the vertical warehouse storage area 3. When the server in the flat warehouse storage area 2 needs to be shipped, the operator can put the wooden pallet 30 and the server on the line through the upper line port 2011 and convey them downward to the first exit 5121 by the lifting mechanism 8.

[0081] Similarly, when the server in the vertical warehouse storage area 3 needs to be shipped, the circulating pallet 20 carrying the wooden pallet 30 and the server passes through the second de-stacking and stacking device 10 to separate the circulating pallet 20 from the wooden pallet 30. The circulating pallet 20 returns to the circulating line 51 for reuse, and the wooden pallet 30 carrying the server is output through the second exit 5122.

[0082] The presence of the first and second de-stacking and stacking devices 9 and 10 can ensure that the server flows on the conveying line using the circulating pallet 20, prevent the packaging from being damaged during the flow of the server, and avoid re-stacking the server, saving time and effort.

[0083] When the server product 400 is completed to be warehoused, the product information and the storage location information can be uploaded to the data storage unit through the storage location management software for storage. When the server product 400 needs to be shipped, the control unit can mobilize the stacking device 6 or the lifting mechanism 8 to transfer the corresponding server product 400 to the first exit 5121 or the second exit 5122 through the circulation line 51 according to the stored product information and the storage location information.

[0084] Optionally, referring to Figure 8 , the circulation line 51 is provided with a tray loading position 541 on the third section 513 and / or the fourth section 514. The circulating tray 20 is conveyed to the circulation line 51 via the tray loading position 541, the third section 513 and the fourth section 514. In the embodiment, two tray loading positions 541 are arranged on the third section 513, and one tray loading position 541 is arranged on the fourth section 514, so as to improve the efficiency of the circulating tray 20 being put on line. In other embodiments, the tray loading position 541 can be arranged only on the third section 513 or only on the fourth section 514.

[0085] Further, the tray loading position 541 is provided with a tray unstacker. At the initial stage of operation of the warehouse system, the operator can transfer the stacked circulating trays 20 to the tray loading position 541, and then the tray unstacker can unstack the stacked circulating trays 20 into single circulating trays 20 and convey the single circulating trays 20 to the circulation line 51. At the initial stage of the circulating tray 20 being put on line, the number of the circulating trays 20 is almost the same as the number of the storage locations 311 of the vertical warehouse. The circulating trays 20 are all put on the circulation line 51, and the circulating trays 20 flow along the counterclockwise direction of the circulation line 51. First, a certain amount of circulating trays 20 on the leftmost line body of the circulation line 51 are conveyed to the first conveying line 52 and the second conveying line 53, so as to be used by the packing and stacking area 1 (refer to the position in Figure 8 When the circulating trays 20 on the first conveying line 52 and the second conveying line 53 are fully buffered, the circulating trays 20 on the leftmost line body of the circulation line 51 enter the storage locations 311 of the goods shelves 31 in sequence via the entrance of the first section 511, so as to buffer the circulating trays 20 in the vertical warehouse storage area 3. When the circulating trays 20 on the circulation line 51 are not enough, the empty circulating trays 20 in the storage locations 311 can return to the circulation line 51 via the exit 5112 of the first section 511, and then flow to the first conveying line 52 for use when the stacking port 13 is stacking.

[0086] As shown in Figure 8 , the first section 511, the second section 512, the third section 513 and the fourth section 514 of the embodiment are arranged in sequence along the counterclockwise direction of the circulation line 51.

[0087] Optionally, referring to Figure 10The server intelligent warehousing system further comprises an abnormality processing area 7, and the conveying line body comprises a third conveying line 54 and a fourth conveying line 55, both of which are connected with the first conveying line 52; a detection device is arranged on the first conveying line 52 upstream of the third conveying line 54, and is used for detecting the stacked servers; the third conveying line 54 is used for conveying the servers with abnormality to the abnormality processing area 7; and the fourth conveying line 55 is used for conveying the servers with abnormality excluded to the first conveying line 52.

[0088] In the embodiment, the detection device is a fixed code scanner. After the stacking port 13 completes the stacking of the servers, a corresponding bar code is pasted on the corresponding circulating tray 20 or server packaging box. When the servers flow to the position of the fixed code scanner, if the fixed code scanner fails to recognize the bar code or the bar code recognition fails (the fixed code scanner fails to recognize the bar code when the bar code falls off or the bar code is unclear), it is determined that the stacked server product 400 is an abnormal product, and then the third conveying line 54 is used to transfer the server product 400 to the abnormality processing area 7, and the server product 400 is manually checked for abnormality. After the abnormality is excluded, the fourth conveying line 55 is used to transfer the server product 400 to the first conveying line 52 again to complete the corresponding warehousing operation. The setting of the abnormality processing area 7 can timely transfer the server product 400 with abnormal bar code away, prevent the first conveying line 52 from being blocked, and thus improve the warehousing and delivery efficiency of the entire warehousing system.

[0089] In the embodiment, when the number of devices in a server production order is small, if the products of the order are separately stacked and stored, the stacked products will not be full, but still occupy a storage location, which will cause a large amount of storage space to be wasted. To avoid the above situation, when warehousing, the server products 400 of multiple similar orders can be stacked and stored in a tray, that is, the servers of multiple orders are stacked in one tray. For the stacked servers, the embodiment preferentially stores the servers in the vertical warehouse storage area 3, which is convenient for delivery. When a single order contains a large number of server types, the servers of the order are preferentially stored in the horizontal warehouse storage area 2, which is convenient for delivery. In this way, the horizontal warehouse can have the advantages of batch delivery and the vertical warehouse can have the advantages of automatic warehousing and delivery, so that the storage positions of servers of different orders can be reasonably arranged, and the vertical warehouse storage area 3 and the horizontal warehouse storage area 2 can be fully utilized.

[0090] The rough working process of the server intelligent warehousing system provided in the embodiment is as follows:

[0091] In the initial stage of operation of the warehousing system, the circulating trays 20 are fed to the circulating line 51 through the tray feeding position 541, and a certain amount of circulating trays 20 are pre-stored on the shelves 31 of the vertical warehouse storage area 3.

[0092] After the warehouse system is in operation, the operator completes server packaging at the packaging station 11, uses the transport tool 12 to stack the wooden pallets 30 and the servers on the circulating pallets 20 at the stacking port 13, and marks the storage location information of the stacked servers. The circulating pallets 20 carrying the wooden pallets 30 and the servers are transferred to the circulating line 51 along with the first conveying line 52, and the stacked servers are transferred to the vertical storage area 3 or the horizontal storage area 2 along with the circulating line 51 according to the marked storage location information.

[0093] Specifically, if the server needs to enter the vertical storage, the circulating pallet 20 carrying the wooden pallet 30 and the server enters the entrance 5111 of the first section 511, and the stacking device 6 at this position completes the vertical storage operation. If the server needs to enter the horizontal storage, the circulating pallet 20 carrying the wooden pallet 30 and the server reaches the second section 512, the first unstacking device 9 separates the circulating pallet 20 and the wooden pallet 30, and the lifting mechanism 8 transports the wooden pallet 30 and the server upward to the transition line body 201 on the corresponding floor, and the operator transfers the server to the horizontal storage location 21 of the horizontal storage area 2 at the offline port 2012 for stacking and storage.

[0094] The delivery process is as follows:

[0095] When the server in the horizontal storage area 2 needs to be delivered, the operator transfers the server to the online port 2011, and the lifting mechanism 8 transports it downward to the first exit 5121. The operator then transfers the server to the delivery preparation area 4 for delivery preparation.
