DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The box-type storage cabinet for a smart warehouse with a two-way loading and unloading control and guiding function shown in the figure includes a main storage cabinet 1, and the main storage cabinet 1 is equipped with 5 horizontal support plates 2 inside. Eight storage bins 3 for storing goods are installed on the upper surface of the horizontal support plates 2. The storage bins 3 are provided with lateral openings on the front and back sides. The upper end of the lateral opening at the front end of the storage bin 3 is movably equipped with a front unloading cover plate 4, and the lower end of the lateral opening at the rear end of the storage bin 3 is movably equipped with a rear loading cover plate 5. The bottom surface of the storage bin 3 is installed with a bottom material guiding device 6 controlled by the front unloading cover plate 4 and the rear loading cover plate 5.

[0024] Working principle: The conveying robot is lifted and lowered and translated on the front and back sides of the main storage cabinet 1, and then loads and unloads materials through the openings formed below the front unloading cover plate 4 and above the rear loading cover plate 5. The flipping control of the front unloading cover plate 4 and the rear loading cover plate 5 will synchronously control the translation adjustment of the upper surface of the bottom material guiding device 6 toward the lower material port position.

[0025] In order to cooperate with sliding and pulling, the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 2 is located at the bottom of the storage bin and is installed with an embedded telescopic guide rail 7, and the bottom of the storage bin 3 is connected to the upper end slider of the embedded telescopic guide rail 7 by bolts.

[0026] In order to facilitate internal assembly and adjustment and not affect the internal cargo transportation, inner mounting grooves 8 are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the storage bin 3 .

[0027] In order to control the turning over of the front unloading cover plate 4 and the rear loading cover plate 5 , an electric control support rod 9 is movably mounted inside the inner mounting groove 8 .

[0028] The lower end of the front unloading cover plate 4 is turned outward to form an unloading opening with an opening at the lower end on the outer side, while the upper end of the rear loading cover plate 5 is turned outward to form an loading opening with an opening at the upper end on the outer side.

[0029] In order to cooperate with external control, a lateral control handle 10 is installed on the outer side of the front unloading cover plate 4, and a built-in elastic locking block 11 for controlling the locking and separation of the storage bin 3 is installed inside the lateral control handle 10.

[0030] The built-in elastic locking block 11 includes an N-shaped structure control frame slidably installed at the lower end of the lateral control handle 10 and an extrusion spring installed at the upper end of the N-shaped structure control frame. An upper locking groove matching the N-shaped structure control frame is opened on the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 2. The lateral control handle 10 fixes the storage bin 3 on the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 2 by inserting the lower end into the upper locking groove. When the entire storage bin 3 needs to be pulled out, it is only necessary to squeeze the N-shaped structure control frame upward to separate the lower end of the N-shaped structure control frame from the upper locking groove, and the entire storage bin 3 can be pulled out.

[0031] In order to cooperate with internal transportation, the bottom material guiding device 6 includes a flexible conveyor belt 61 movably assembled on the bottom surface of the storage bin 3, an iron adsorption strip 62 fixed on the inner side of the flexible conveyor belt 61, and lateral material guiding cylinders 63 located on both sides of the flexible conveyor belt 62.

[0032] In order to cooperate with the linkage control, the inner sides of the front unloading cover plate 4 and the rear loading cover plate 5 are movably equipped with elastic telescopic connecting rods 12, the inner ends of the elastic telescopic connecting rods 12 are movably equipped with internal translation sliders 13, and the side walls of the internal translation sliders 13 are installed with embedded electromagnets 14.

[0033] When the electric control support rod 9 is extended to control the front unloading cover plate 4 or the rear loading cover plate 5 to flip outward, when unloading, the front unloading cover plate 4 pulls the elastic telescopic connecting rod 12, and the elastic telescopic connecting rod 12 will drive the internal translation slider 13 to slide in the guide slide groove on the inner side of the storage bin 3, and the embedded electromagnet 14 will be started synchronously while sliding, and the embedded electromagnet 14 will adsorb the iron adsorption strip 62, drive the upper layer of the flexible conveyor belt 61 to perform translation adjustment, and then translate the internal goods to the lower feeding port. At this time, the outermost layer of goods will be discharged from the unloading port opened at the lower end into the upper storage box of the conveying robot; When loading, the rear loading cover plate 5 pulls the elastic telescopic connecting rod 12, and the elastic telescopic connecting rod 12 will drive the internal translation slider 13 to slide in the guide slide groove on the inner side of the storage bin 3. While sliding, the embedded electromagnet 14 will be started synchronously, and the embedded electromagnet 14 will adsorb the iron adsorption strip 62, drive the lower layer of the flexible conveyor belt 61 to perform translation adjustment, and then guide the internal goods to the lower feeding port. At this time, a gap will be left near the loading port, and the loaded goods will be introduced from the upper storage box into the storage bin 3.

[0034] The function of the elastic telescopic connecting rod 12 is to cooperate with the front unloading cover plate 4 and the rear loading cover plate 5 to turn over and synchronously control the internal translation slider 13 to translate.

[0035] In order to cooperate with lateral expansion and contraction, lateral expansion and contraction grooves 15 are provided on the front and back side walls of the transverse support plate 2 .

[0036] To cooperate with the horizontal lateral movement, an electrically controlled telescopic guide rail 16 is slidably mounted inside the lateral telescopic groove 15 .

[0037] The bottom horizontal support plate 2 has no electric control telescopic guide rail 16 installed inside. The electrically controlled telescopic guide rail 16 is composed of a transverse guide rail and an embedded telescopic rod fixed on the inner side of the lateral telescopic slot 15 , and the transverse guide rail is adjusted to be telescopically adjusted at the opening position of the lateral telescopic slot 15 by telescoping the embedded telescopic rod.

[0038] In order to cooperate with the longitudinal lifting of the conveying robot, an electrically controlled conveying belt 17 is provided on the outer side of the main storage cabinet 1 .

[0039] When the conveyor robot is lifted to the specified height, the electrically-controlled telescopic guide rail 16 extends outward and laterally to the bottom of the upper hanging wheel of the conveyor robot, and then the conveyor robot descends. At this time, the upper hanging wheel of the conveyor robot will be supported on the electrically-controlled telescopic guide rail 16, and then the electrically-controlled feeder belt 17 will continue to descend and separate from the conveyor robot. The conveyor robot will be separated from the electrically-controlled feeder belt 17, so that the conveyor robot can move horizontally along the electrically-controlled telescopic guide rail 16.

[0040] A longitudinally arranged lifting groove is provided on one side of the outer side of the main storage cabinet 1, and the electric-controlled feeder belt 17 includes an electric-controlled conveyor belt movably installed inside the lifting groove and an external hook of a T-shaped structure fixed on the outer side of the electric-controlled conveyor belt. The external hook can be conveniently inserted into the hanging frame on the outside of the conveying robot to control the longitudinal lifting and lowering adjustment of the conveying robot, and the conveying robots on both sides of the main storage cabinet 1 can be controlled to perform longitudinal lifting and lowering adjustment by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the electric-controlled conveyor belt.

[0041] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
