[0045] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , it is a schematic diagram of application scenario of the transfer mechanism 3 provided according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , it is a schematic diagram of structure of the transfer mechanism 3 provided according to an embodiment of the present application. The transfer mechanism 3 comprises a mounting frame 32, the top of the mounting frame 32 is provided with a top plate (not shown in the figure) for placing goods; a lifting assembly, the lifting assembly comprises a lifting drive 35 and a lifting plate 37, the lifting drive 35 is drivingly connected with the lifting plate 37, the lifting plate 37 is movably embedded in the top plate, and the lifting drive 35 drives the lifting plate 37 to lift, so as to lift the goods above the top plate. Figure 4 In the schematic diagram of structure of the transfer mechanism 3 in , the top plate of the mounting frame 32 is omitted, the lifting assembly comprises the lifting drive 35 and the lifting plate 37, and the lifting drive 35 can drive the lifting plate 37 to rise and fall. In the process of transferring goods, the lifting plate 37 can be lifted above the top plate, so as to lift the goods above the lifting plate 37, thereby facilitating the transfer mechanism 3 to transfer the goods with the storage mechanism 2.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the lifting plate 37 comprises a support part and a connecting part, the support part is parallel to the top plate, the connecting part is perpendicular to the support part, the end of the support part is connected with the top end of the connecting part, the lifting assembly further comprises a limiting rod 371 and a cam 36, the limiting rod 371 is vertically installed on the inner bottom wall of the mounting frame 32, the support part is movably sleeved on the limiting rod 371, and the side wall of the connecting part is connected with the lifting drive 35 through the cam 36, so that the lifting drive 35 can control the height of the lifting plate 37 by controlling the rotation angle of the cam 36.

[0047] In one embodiment, the goods are accommodated in a box (not shown in the figure), the box is provided with a transportation frame, when the transfer mechanism 3 transports the box, the lifting plate 37 is inserted into the transportation frame. When the lifting plate 37 is inserted into the transportation frame of the box, at this time, the lifting assembly can control the box to rise or fall similarly to a transportation forklift. For example, when a user stores goods, the lifting plate 37 is inserted into the transportation frame of the box, when the transfer mechanism 3 transfers the box to the storage basket 21, the box can be continuously lifted to a certain height, so that the bottom of the box is higher than the inner bottom wall of the storage basket 21, and the goods enter the storage basket 21. Subsequently, the lifting drive 35 controls the lifting plate 37 to descend, so that the box is placed in the storage basket 21, and the lifting plate 37 is separated from the storage basket 21, and the transfer mechanism 3 moves away from the storage basket 21, thereby achieving the transfer of the goods to the storage basket 21 of the storage mechanism 2. The above structure enables the goods to be accurately and smoothly transferred between the transfer mechanism 3 and the storage mechanism 2.

[0048] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , it is a schematic diagram of structure of the storage mechanism 2 provided according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown inFigure 6 As shown in FIG. 1, a structure schematic diagram of the basket driving assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. The basket driving assembly comprises a fixed rod 23 fixedly installed on the top wall or the bottom wall in the length direction of the storage shelf 1 in the storage cavity 1101; a basket side rod 28 connected with the basket 21; two connecting rods 22, the two ends of the connecting rod 22 are respectively hinged with the end of the fixed rod 23 and the basket side rod 28, the fixed rod 23, the basket side rod 28 and the two connecting rods 22 form a parallelogram; a driving rod 24, one end of the driving rod 24 is connected with the fixed rod 23, the other end of the driving rod 24 is connected with any one of the connecting rods 22, the driving rod 24 is telescopic to drive the basket side rod 28 to drive the basket 21 to extend out or be stored in the storage cavity 1101. The extension or contraction of the driving rod 24 can change the shape of the parallelogram, and further change the position of the basket side rod 28, so that the basket side rod 28 can drive the basket 21 to extend out or be stored in the storage cavity 1101.

[0049] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of the basket driving assembly is two, which are respectively installed on the top wall and the bottom wall in the length direction of the storage shelf 1 in the storage cavity 1101. Figure 5

[0050] In one embodiment, the basket side rod 28 is provided with a sliding groove 281 in the length direction, and the basket driving assembly further comprises a gear 26 fixedly connected with the outer wall of the basket 21, a gear shaft of the gear 26 is slidingly inserted into the sliding groove 281; a positioning side rod 27, one end of the positioning side rod 27 is hinged with the connecting rod 22 connected with the driving rod 24, the other end of the positioning side rod 27 is hinged with the gear 26; a rack 25, both ends of the rack 25 are respectively hinged with the two connecting rods 22, the rack 25 is parallelly and spacedly arranged with the basket side rod 28, the gear 26 is engaged with the rack 25, when the driving rod 24 is telescopic to drive the gear 26 to slide in the sliding groove 281, the gear 26 drives the basket 21 to rotate under the action of the rack 25. When the shape of the parallelogram changes, the positioning side rod 27 will move in the sliding groove 281, the movement will drive the gear 26 to rotate on the rack 25, and further rotate the basket 21 fixedly connected with the gear 26.

[0051] Specifically, when the basket 21 is stored in the storage cavity 1101, the basket driving assembly controls the opening of the basket 21 to be in the same direction as the cavity opening of the storage cavity 1101, when the basket 21 extends out of the storage cavity 1101 and cooperates with the transfer mechanism 3, the basket 21 rotates 90 degrees, so that the opening of the basket 21 faces the transfer mechanism 3.

[0052] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4 ​As shown, the transfer mechanism 3 further comprises a transfer trolley 31, which is drivingly connected with the mounting frame 32. The transfer trolley 31 comprises a walking driving member 34 and a walking assembly 313. The walking assembly 313 is movably embedded in the sliding guide rail 11. The walking driving member 34 drives the walking assembly 313 to slide in the sliding guide rail 11. The transfer trolley 31 is used to drive the mounting frame 32 to move on the storage rack 1. The transfer trolley 31 is a device that can freely walk and turn in the sliding groove 281, and can drive the mounting frame 32 connected therewith to move.

[0053] In one embodiment, the transfer mechanism 3 further comprises a balancing assembly. The balancing assembly comprises a balancing driving member 331 and a rotating member 33. The driving end of the balancing driving member 331 is drivingly connected with the rotating member 33. The rotating member 33 is installed below the mounting frame 32. When the transfer trolley 31 slides in the sliding guide rail 11, the mounting frame 32 always maintains a balanced state under the action of the rotating member 33. Because the transfer trolley 31 often turns when moving in the sliding guide rail 11, the turning will cause the mounting frame 32 to rotate. Therefore, the mounting frame 32 and the transfer trolley 31 are not in a fixed connection relationship. The transfer trolley 31 can drive the mounting frame 32 to move up, down, left and right, but does not transmit a rotating torque to the mounting frame 32 when the transfer trolley 31 rotates. The balancing assembly can be installed on the mounting frame 32. The working principle of the balancing assembly is similar to that of a gyroscope. Through high-speed rotation of the rotating member 33, the mounting frame 32 can always maintain a balanced state.

[0054] In one embodiment, the top of the storage rack 1 is provided with a mounting top plate 12. A plurality of storage rack mounting rods 13 are installed on the mounting top plate 12. The storage rack mounting rods 13 can be connected with the roof, so that the rack system is suspended and arranged, and the storage space is efficiently utilized.
