[0036] See also Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a device for picking up and releasing goods from a material box, which includes: a fixed bracket 10, a material box push-pull mechanism 30 and a hooking mechanism 40, wherein the fixed bracket 10 is provided with a material box conveying mechanism 20; the material box push-pull mechanism 30 is installed on the fixed bracket 10; the hooking mechanism 40 includes a mounting seat installed on the material box push-pull mechanism 30, the mounting seat is rotatably mounted with a rotating plate 401, the rotating plate 401 is provided with a hooking plate 402, and the mounting seat is installed with a first driving mechanism, the first driving mechanism is connected to the rotating plate 401, and the first driving mechanism is configured to drive the rotating plate 401 to rotate so that the hooking plate 402 hooks the material box; the material box push-pull mechanism 30 is configured to drive the hooking mechanism 400 to move along the conveying direction of the material box conveying mechanism 20.

The material box can be picked up by hooking and pulling the material box, and the material box can be put down by hooking and pushing. When putting down the goods, there is no need to reserve a gap between two adjacent material boxes for placing the clamping arm, which can reduce the distance between two adjacent material boxes and increase the storage capacity rate of the warehouse. This solves the technical problem of large distance between material boxes and small storage capacity rate of the warehouse during the process of picking and releasing the goods in the related technology.

[0039] Among them, see Figure 2 As shown, the fixed bracket 10 includes a first mounting plate 101, a second mounting plate 102, a first connecting plate 103, a second connecting plate 104 and a connecting strip 105.

[0041] In this embodiment, the linear guide rail 301 is installed on a guide rail mounting plate 310, and a cushion block 317 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail mounting plate 310. The cushion block 317 is installed on the fixed bracket 10. The second driving mechanism can be set to a synchronous belt motor reducer 311. The synchronous belt motor reducer 311 can drive the hooking mechanism mounting plate 302 to slide along the linear guide rail 301. The hooking mechanism mounting plate 302 is slidably installed on the linear guide rail 301. The hooking mechanism 40 can be directly slidably installed on the linear guide rail 301, or it can be indirectly slidably installed on the linear guide rail 301. Preferably, a slider 309 can be provided at the bottom of the hooking mechanism mounting plate 302 to enable the material box push-pull mechanism 30 to move along the linear guide rail 301. The hooking mechanism mounting plate 302 is used to install the hooking mechanism 40. The material box push-pull mechanism 30 cooperates with the hooking mechanism 40 to hook the material box.

[0042] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the two ends of the material box push-pull mechanism 30 are provided with limit position photoelectric detectors 303, and the two ends of the linear guide rail 301 are provided with limit plates 304. In this embodiment, the limit position photoelectric detector 303 is installed at the limit position of the linear guide rail 301, and the bottom of the hook mechanism mounting plate 302 is provided with a sensing plate 318. The sensing plate 318 cooperates with the limit position photoelectric detector 303 to determine whether the material box push-pull mechanism 30 runs to the limit position of the stroke during normal use. When the sensing plate 318 reaches the groove of the limit position photoelectric detector 303, that is, the hook mechanism mounting plate 302 stops running, and the hook mechanism 40 runs to the limit position, the limit plate 304 can be fixed to the two ends of the guide rail mounting plate 310, so that the limit plate 304 can limit the slider 309 on the linear guide rail 301 to prevent the slider 309 from rushing out.

[0043] Further, see Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the material box push-pull mechanism 30 also includes a synchronous belt 305, a synchronous belt pressure plate 306, a drag chain 307 and a drag chain groove 308, the synchronous belt 305 is driven by the second driving structure, the synchronous belt pressure plate 306 is connected to the synchronous belt 305, and the synchronous belt pressure plate 306 is connected to the hook mechanism mounting plate 302, one end of the drag chain 307 is fixed to the synchronous belt pressure plate 306, and the other end of the drag chain 307 is fixed to the drag chain groove 308. In this embodiment, the synchronous belt pressure plate 306 is connected to the synchronous belt 305, and the synchronous belt pressure plate 306 is connected to the hook mechanism mounting plate 302, so that the synchronous belt motor reducer 311 drives the synchronous belt 305 to move, and drives the hook mechanism mounting plate 302 to move along the linear guide rail 301. The material box push-pull mechanism 30 drives the synchronous belt pressure plate 306 to move through the synchronous belt 305, and drives the hook mechanism 40 to move through the hook mechanism mounting plate 302. The drag chain 307 can effectively protect the cables of the servo 404 and the ranging photoelectric detector 403 to prevent the cables from being damaged by the external environment during the movement, such as mechanical collision, etc. The drag chain groove 308 is fixed to the fixed bracket 10, the synchronous belt motor reducer 311 is fixed to the active synchronous belt pulley mounting plate 313, the active synchronous belt pulley mounting plate 313 is fixed to one end of the guide rail mounting plate 310, the active synchronous belt pulley 312 is installed on the shaft of the synchronous belt motor reducer 311, the driven synchronous belt pulley 314 is fixed to the driven synchronous belt pulley mounting plate 315, the driven synchronous belt pulley mounting plate 315 is fixed to the other end of the guide rail mounting plate 310, and an adjustment block 316 is set at the bottom of the driven synchronous belt pulley 314.

A belt support 214 is provided between the conveying belt 205 and the support plate 201. The belt support 214 can both guide the conveying belt 205 and support the material box.

[0047] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the material box conveying mechanism 20 further includes a guide plate 206, and the guide plate 206 is fixed to the support plate 201. In this embodiment, the guide plate 206 is used to guide the material box during the process of taking and placing the material box to prevent the material box from being greatly offset on the material box conveying mechanism 20.

[0048] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the fixed bracket 10 is provided with two of the material box conveying mechanisms 20, one of the material box conveying mechanisms 20 is installed with a photoelectric detector 207, and the other of the material box conveying mechanisms 20 is installed with a reflector 208 corresponding to the photoelectric detector 207. In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 10 is provided with two of the material box conveying mechanisms 20, the photoelectric detector 207 is fixed to a photoelectric detector bracket 211, the photoelectric detector bracket 211 is fixed to one side of the support plate 201 of one of the material box conveying mechanisms 20, the reflector 208 is fixed to the reflector bracket 212, and the reflector bracket 212 is fixed to one side of the support plate 201 of the other of the material box conveying mechanisms 20.

[0049] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the two material box conveying mechanisms 20 are arranged at intervals, and the material box push-pull mechanism 30 and the hook mechanism 40 are located between the two material box conveying mechanisms 20.

[0050] See also Figure 8-10 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a container transport method, which includes a picking up step and a placing step:

[0051] Pickup steps:

[0052] Step 1: Use the material box push-pull mechanism 30 to push the hook mechanism 40 to move along the first direction to a first preset position.

[0053] In this embodiment, see Figure 8 As shown, taking material taking from the left side of the fixed bracket 10 as an example, the first direction is to the left. When starting to take material, the material box push-pull mechanism 30 first pushes the hook mechanism 40 to the left to run to the first preset position, wherein the first preset position here can be detected by the photoelectric detector 207 provided on the hook mechanism 40. When the hook mechanism 40 runs to the left until the photoelectric detector 207 detects that the distance between the hook mechanism 40 and the material box is appropriate, so that the hook plate 402 can extend into the groove of the material box after the rotating plate 401 rotates, the position of the hook mechanism 40 is the first preset position.

[0054] Step 2: Use the first driving mechanism to drive the rotating plate 401 to rotate, so that the hooking plate 402 extends into the groove of the material box to hook the material box. The first driving mechanism can drive the rotating plate 401 to rotate 90°, or other angles, such as 100°, so that the rotating plate 401 can be hooked into the groove of the material box after rotation, and the specific angle value is not limited here.

[0055] Step 3: Use the material box push-pull mechanism 30 to pull the hook mechanism 40 to move in a direction opposite to the first direction, so that the material box is pulled onto the material box conveying mechanism 20, and the picking is completed.

[0056] In this embodiment, see Figure 8-10As shown, taking the material picking from the left side of the fixed bracket 10 as an example, the first direction is to the left. In this step 3, the hooking mechanism 40 has hooked the material box, and the material box push-pull mechanism 30 pulls the hooking mechanism to move to the right until the material box is pulled onto the material box conveying mechanism 20, and the picking is completed. In the process of using the material box pushing and pulling mechanism 30 and the hooking mechanism 40 to pull the material box onto the material box conveying mechanism 20, the limit position photoelectric detector 303 on the material box pushing and pulling mechanism 30 can be used to detect the position of the hooking mechanism 40. When the hooking mechanism 40 moves to the right until the limit position photoelectric detector 303 detects the sensing plate 318, it means that the hooking mechanism 40 has reached the limit position (at this time, at least more than half of the material box has moved to the material box conveying mechanism 20). The first driving mechanism can drive the rotating plate 401 to rotate so that the hooking plate 402 is disengaged from the material box, and the material box conveying mechanism 20 can continue to move to the right so that the entire material box is placed on the material box conveying mechanism 20, that is, the picking is completed. The material box conveying mechanism 20 can be set to be slightly longer than the length of the material box, so that the entire material box picking and placing device occupies less space, and the hooking mechanism 40 is placed on one side of the material box to limit the position of the material box.

[0057] In other embodiments, when the length of the material box conveying mechanism 20 is long enough, the limit position of the hooking mechanism 40 can also be set to be relatively long, so that the material box can be completely moved to the material box conveying mechanism 20 when the hooking mechanism 40 reaches the limit position, and the hook plate 402 of the hooking mechanism 40 can also be kept hooked in the groove of the material box without being separated from the material box. When it is necessary to release the goods, the material box can be directly pushed to the left onto the shelf. In this way, the step of rotating the rotating plate 401 to disengage the hook plate 402 from the material box can be reduced.

[0058] Steps for releasing goods:

[0059] Step 1: When goods need to be released, the material box push-pull mechanism 30 is used to push the hook mechanism 40 to move in the first direction, and at the same time, the material box conveying mechanism 20 is driven to move synchronously until the material box moves to the shelf, and then the first driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating plate 401 to rotate so that the hook plate 402 is separated from the material box, and the release of goods is completed.

[0060] In this embodiment, see Figure 8-10As shown, taking the material picking from the left side of the fixed bracket 10 as an example, the first direction is to the left. When the picking is completed and the entire material box is placed on the material box conveying mechanism 20, the material box conveying mechanism 20 can move to the left first until the photoelectric detector 207 detects that the hooking mechanism 40 is at a suitable position away from the material box, so that the hooking plate 402 can be hooked into the groove of the material box, and then the first driving mechanism drives the rotating plate 401 to rotate, so that the hooking plate 402 extends into the groove of the material box to hook the material box, and then the material box push-pull mechanism 30 pushes the hooking mechanism 40 to continue to move to the left, and at the same time, the material box conveying mechanism 20 moves synchronously to move the entire material box to the shelf, and the first driving mechanism drives the rotating plate 401 to rotate, so that the hooking plate 402 is disengaged from the material box, and the goods are released.
