DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an intelligent warehousing and logistics equipment based on Internet of Things technology, including:

[0040] A horizontal conveying device, which is located upstream of the cargo storage route, and is equipped with a shape recognition module, which can identify and record the external dimensions of the cargo to be stored and the cargo information itself;

[0041] A longitudinal distribution device connected to the rear of the horizontal conveying device; and

[0042] The smart shelf is provided with multiple layers from top to bottom, and each layer is equipped with a transfer mechanism 4, which is connected with the longitudinal distribution device and can store / transfer goods;

[0043] The longitudinal distribution device can distribute the goods to different shelf levels according to the goods size information recognized by the shape recognition module.

[0044] In this embodiment, the smart shelf includes:

[0045] There are multiple upright columns 1, and multiple cross frames 2 are horizontally fixedly connected between the upright columns 1, and the two together form a shelf capable of multi-level storage;

[0046] A driving screw 3, which is located at the top of each layer of the smart shelf and is used to drive the transfer mechanism 4 to perform horizontal reciprocating movement;

[0047] A temporary storage bin 6, which is located near the longitudinal distribution device and is arranged on each layer; and

[0048] The isolation assembly 5 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the cross frame 2 , and a plurality of isolation assemblies 5 are evenly spaced along the extending direction of the cross frame 2 .

[0049] It needs to be explained that, after the longitudinal distribution device delivers the goods to the temporary storage bin 6 of the shelf level that matches its size, the goods are transported to between the isolation components 5 through the transfer mechanism 4 for separate tilted storage.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 4 includes:

[0051] A movable seat 41 is sleeved on the driving screw 3, and a turntable 42 is relatively rotatably provided at the lower end of the movable seat 41, and the turntable 42 is driven by an external motor;

[0052] An electric telescopic rod 43 is rotatably arranged along the moving direction of the moving seat 41 on both sides of the lower end of the turntable 42 and is symmetrically arranged. The lower end of the piston rod of each electric telescopic rod 43 is relatively fixed with a mounting seat 44;

[0053] A distance adjuster 45, which is hinged to the opposite side of each mounting seat 44, and a first clamping module 47 and a second clamping module 48 are respectively installed on the opposite side of the distance adjuster 45; and

[0054] A support spring 46, both ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the distance adjuster 45 and the mounting seat 44, and are symmetrically arranged above and below the hinge point of the two;

[0055] The first clamping module 47 is located close to the temporary compartment 6 , and a plurality of supporting balls are rotatably embedded on the clamping surface of the second clamping module 48 .

[0056] It should be explained that when the cargo is clamped and transported, the distance regulator 45 is controlled to be filled with gas / liquid so that its length changes, thereby adjusting the clamping width of the first clamping module 47 and the second clamping module 48 to clamp and transport the cargo.

[0057] In this embodiment, the relative electric telescopic rods 43 are hingedly connected by an inclined telescopic connecting rod 49, the hinge end of the telescopic connecting rod 49 close to the first clamping module 47 is lower than the other hinge end thereof, and a servo motor 431 is provided on the upper side of one side of the electric telescopic rod 43.

[0058] It needs to be explained that when the goods are clamped and transported, the servo motor 431 drives the electric telescopic rod 43 on one side to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the telescopic link 49 is adaptively extended to ensure the opening of the two sets of clamping modules to facilitate clamping. Among them, the inclined telescopic link 49 can make the deflection angles of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 43 different when they are deflected in linkage.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first clamping module 47 includes: a supporting shell 471, a flexible supporting body 473 is adhered to the inner bottom of which, an outer end of the supporting shell 471 is provided with an adsorption mold plate 472, the adsorption mold plate 472 is provided with a plurality of adsorption holes, and the flexible supporting body 473 is provided with a plurality of air passage grooves.

[0060] That is to say, the surface of the goods is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption mold plate 472, and at the same time, the first clamping module 47 cooperates with the second clamping module 48 to clamp the goods, thereby ensuring the stability of the goods transfer clamping.

[0061] In this embodiment, the isolation component 5 includes:

[0062] A partition plate 51 is arranged on the inner side of the horizontal frame 2 and tilted to the right, and a plurality of partition plates 51 are arranged at intervals, and a slide rail 53 is installed at the lower part of the opposite end of each adjacent partition plate 51;

[0063] A support plate 54 is slidably disposed on the adjacent slide rail 53 and is perpendicular to the partition plate 51, and a buffer spring 55 is installed at the lower end of the support plate 54;

[0064] A plurality of supporting rollers 52 are provided to rotate perpendicular to the extending direction of the partition plate 51; and

[0065] The display screen 56 is installed on the outer side of the right end of each partition plate 51 .

[0066] That is to say, by forming an inclined storage space between the inclined partition plates 51, the goods can be placed at an angle, which can greatly save the space they occupy and improve the space utilization rate of the shelf. The display screen 56 can, on the one hand, record and display the information of the stored goods for easy search, and on the other hand, can stop and limit the outer end of the goods to prevent them from sliding out.

[0067] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic locking device is provided in the telescopic connecting rod 49, and its length can be electromagnetically locked at any time by turning the power on and off.

[0068] Specifically, when the transfer mechanism 4 clamps the goods, the telescopic connecting rod 49 is in a freely retractable state, and is in an electromagnetically locked state after clamping and during the transfer process.

[0069] When the cargo is clamped to the storage position, the servo motor 431 rotates clockwise. At this time, due to the height difference of the hinge points on both sides of the telescopic link 49, the deflection angle of the electric telescopic rod 43 on the left is greater than that on the right. Since the right side of the cargo is adsorbed and fixed, the cargo is tilted downward on the left side under the action of the support spring 46 and the support ball. Then, the distance adjusters 45 on both sides are controlled to deflate / drain the cargo to tilt it on the partition plate 51 to complete the cargo storage.

[0070] It should be noted that when storing goods, the two sets of clamping modules are located on the front and rear sides of the moving direction of the transfer mechanism 4. When taking out the goods, the two sets of clamping modules are driven by an external motor and located on the left and right sides of the moving direction of the transfer mechanism 4.

[0071] In this embodiment, the bottom plate of the temporary bin 6 can be raised and lowered, and a gravity sensor is provided at the upper end of the bottom plate.

[0072] It should be explained that the weight of the goods is detected by a gravity sensor, and the clamping force of the first clamping module 47 and the second clamping module 48 is then reasonably adjusted to avoid the situation where the goods fall due to insufficient clamping force.

[0073] In this embodiment, a pressure monitoring unit is disposed in the distance adjuster 45, so as to monitor the clamping force in real time and ensure the clamping effect.

[0074] In this embodiment, the spacing between the partition plates 51 gradually increases as the storage level of the smart shelf increases.

[0075] In specific implementation, the horizontal conveying device first identifies and records the information of the goods to be stored, and then the vertical distribution device distributes them to the intelligent shelf level that matches them. The goods are then clamped and transferred through the transfer mechanism. When the goods need to be taken out, the transfer mechanism switches the clamping position and clamps and takes out the goods.

[0076] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
