Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of float glass production and manufacturing, and in particular to an intelligent lifting and automating warehouse for float glass. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, float glass products from factories come in a wide variety of specifications and in large quantities. Since glass is a large-volume and fragile product, the specifications and weight of a single bundle of glass vary greatly. The dimensions are mostly between 3660*2440 and 2440*1830, and the weight is mostly between 2000Kg and 3200Kg. As a result, the storage methods for float glass are relatively simple, and existing technologies cannot achieve automated three-dimensional storage.

[0003] Besides the limitation of a single storage method that prevents automated three-dimensional warehousing, traditional float glass storage also suffers from difficulties in implementing first-in-first-out (FIFO) and low inbound / outbound efficiency. Due to the unique nature of traditional float glass storage racks, glass produced earlier is placed on the inside of the racks, while glass produced later is placed on the outside. This makes it difficult to ensure that glass produced earlier is processed first, and the only solution is to sacrifice inbound / outbound efficiency.

[0004] In the prior art, application number 202211669054.8, publication number CN 116011918 A, application date 2022.12.23, invention title "An Intelligent Recommendation Method Based on a Float Glass Warehouse" discloses an intelligent recommendation method based on a float glass warehouse. The method involves: S1. Requesting and obtaining the location and inventory data required for the inbound recommendation model, outbound recommendation model, and daily transfer model, and filtering the feasible region according to constraints; S2. Using a greedy algorithm and a discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm to perform real-time optimization recommendations for the outbound recommendation model and the inbound recommendation model, including the following steps: S2.1 Initializing the discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm for the outbound recommendation model; S2.2 Ensuring that the three models satisfy four common objectives, and that each model satisfies its own specific objectives according to its business.

[0005] S2.3 Based on the feasible region, calculate the target value for each objective. For each objective requiring normalization, normalize it according to its distribution. Assign weights to each objective based on the actual warehouse conditions, and calculate the fitness value using a weighted combination method. S2.4 Iterate to obtain the final recommendation result. This method can reduce stagnant inventory, improve inbound and outbound efficiency, and free up on-site inventory personnel.

[0006] The aforementioned existing technologies disclose intelligent recommendation methods for float glass warehouses, which can improve inbound and outbound efficiency and reduce stagnant inventory through algorithms in the background. However, for actual inbound, outbound, and transfer operations, they cannot solve the problem of glass produced earlier being placed on the inside of the shelves and glass produced later on the outside, making it difficult for glass produced earlier to be shipped out first. This issue can only be addressed by sacrificing inbound and outbound efficiency. Moreover, the above methods do not solve the problem of how to effectively increase warehouse capacity, implement three-dimensional storage, and automate management when land area is limited.

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides an intelligent lifting mother-daughter automated warehouse for float glass that achieves first-in-first-out (FIFO) for glass products without sacrificing warehousing efficiency, automates all processes, and saves on personnel and management costs.

[0010] An intelligent lifting trolley automated warehouse for float glass includes an inbound turntable 1, a lifting trolley system 2, a racking system 3, an outbound turntable 4, and an automated warehouse management system.

[0011] The system automatically scans the QR code of goods to identify the information of glass products that need to be stored in the warehouse, and verifies the accuracy of the information by checking the appearance and weight before storage. After ensuring that the information is correct, the automated warehouse management system automatically allocates appropriate storage locations according to the storage rules.

[0012] The inbound turntable 1, in conjunction with the lifting mother-daughter cart system 2, executes the commands of the automated warehouse management system to place the glass products into the designated location of the shelving system 3;

[0013] Upon receiving an outbound command from the automated warehouse management system, the lifting mother-daughter cart system 2 executes the outbound instruction, cooperating with the outbound turntable 4 to deliver the glass products to the outbound port or directly load them onto a truck for shipment; among which,

[0018] The racking system 3 includes racks with 1 to 3 layers, and each rack has a rack rail 300 at the top that is flush with the hanging rail 600.

[0019] The operation process is as follows: After receiving the instruction, the overhead rail trolley 8 moves through the racking system 3 warehouse area via the racking rail 300 or returns to the lifting mother car 6. The lifting mother car 6 can transport the overhead rail trolley 8 to different racking system 3 warehouse areas on the 1st to 3rd floors by lifting. In conjunction with the mobile trolley 5 moving horizontally on the racking travel track 7, the lifting mother car 6 and the overhead rail trolley 8 can be transported to any racking system 3 warehouse area in the aisle to complete the inbound and outbound operations.
