Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] In a typical embodiment of the present application, a three-dimensional storage system for automatic loading and unloading of goods is provided, such as Figure 1-13 As shown, it includes a mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle and a shelf storage platform. The mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle includes a mobile ground rail 4 and a mobile loading and unloading platform 2 that can move along the mobile ground rail. The mobile loading and unloading platform 2 includes a mobile platform 16 and a material flatbed truck for carrying materials. A mobile platform slideway 20 is provided on the mobile platform 16, and a material pulley 29 is provided at the bottom of the material flatbed truck to connect with the mobile platform slideway 20;

[0050] The mobile platform 16 is provided with a cylinder locking mechanism, which includes a cylinder 18 and a cylinder locking pin 21. The cylinder locking pin 21 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 18 and can be pushed into the mobile platform slide 20 for locking; the material flatbed truck is provided with a slider locking mechanism, which cooperates with the shelf storage platform for locking.

[0051] In this embodiment, materials are loaded and unloaded within a material rack. Considering the weight of the cargo, the material rack is equipped with material pulleys. The mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle is fixed to the mobile ground rail via the vehicle chassis and moves within a plane via the vehicle pulleys. The ground rail limit blocks serve as the mobile intelligent vehicle's limiting device. The vehicle chassis and ground rails cooperate through drive side pulleys and drive main pulleys, and movement is achieved by the ground rail drive motor. A scissor-type lifting mechanism, consisting of a lifting platform support frame and a lifting platform frame, enables the mobile loading and unloading platform to be raised and lowered. The lifting platform frame is connected to the mobile loading and unloading platform.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle includes a mobile ground rail 4 and a mobile vehicle chassis 3 that is slidably connected to the mobile ground rail. A cross-type lifting platform frame 8 is installed on the top of the mobile vehicle chassis, and a mobile loading and unloading platform 2 is installed on the top of the lifting platform frame. Materials are placed on the mobile loading and unloading platform 2. Among them, the lifting platform frame 8 adopts a vertical scissor-type lifting structure, and a lifting platform support frame 6 is installed between the two side structures to enhance the support strength and ensure the stability of the lifting process. A mobile vehicle pulley 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mobile vehicle chassis 3 and is slidably connected to the mobile ground rail 4. A ground rail limit block 5 is installed at the end of the mobile ground rail 4 to limit the moving range of the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle and prevent derailment.

[0053] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a mobile ground rail is specifically provided to provide a more stable track, which can reduce the lateral displacement and shaking of the vehicle body during movement. This is particularly important for precision assembly work, reduces the difficulty of the control system, and can ensure the accurate alignment of goods and components. Moreover, the ground rail loading and unloading vehicle design adopted in this embodiment is more suitable for carrying larger weights. Therefore, for the storage and loading and unloading of heavy mechanical parts and large components, the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle of this embodiment has better stability than the existing wheeled assembly vehicle. At the same time, the mobile ground rail also reduces friction loss and energy consumption, making the movement of the loading and unloading intelligent vehicle more efficient; the track design can be optimized according to the factory layout, reducing the space wasted due to turns and U-turns, and allowing for a more compact facility layout; and the mobile ground rail can also be equipped with electrified track technology, allowing for precise control and positioning, which is suitable for assembly processes that require high precision and tracking, greatly improving the docking accuracy between the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle and the goods, thereby improving the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading.

[0054] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the ground rail drive system includes a ground rail drive motor 59, a drive side pulley 60, and a drive main pulley 61. The drive main pulley 61 is mounted within the mobile ground rail and can roll along the moving ground rail. The output shaft of the ground rail drive motor 59 is connected to the drive main pulley 61, which is driven by the ground rail drive motor 59 to achieve high-precision movement of the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle. Two drive side pulleys 60 are mounted on either side of the drive main pulley 61 via shaft connections, located to the sides of the mobile ground rail. They assist the drive main pulley in improving the stability of the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the mobile loading and unloading platform 2 includes a movable platform frame 11, and a cylinder support assembly for supporting the mobile platform is installed on the front side of the movable platform frame 11, wherein the cylinder support assembly includes a cylinder fixing bolt 12, a cylinder fixing frame 13, a supporting cylinder 14 and a supporting block 15, wherein the supporting block 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the supporting cylinder 14, and the lower part of the supporting cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on the cylinder fixing frame 13, and the cylinder fixing frame 13 is fixedly connected to the movable platform frame 11 through the cylinder fixing bolt 12; when the supporting cylinder 14 is extended, the support block 15 reaches the bottom of the mobile platform and contacts the bottom surface of the mobile platform 16, thereby playing a supporting role when transporting goods, avoiding deformation of the mobile platform when it extends outward and docks with the shelf storage platform, and improving the stability of the goods storage process.

[0056] Combine Figure 5 、 6As shown, in order to achieve the change of the front and rear position of the material, a roller slide 17 along the second direction and a mobile platform 16 connected to the roller slide are set on the top of the movable platform frame 11. The material 1 and the material flatbed truck are placed on the mobile platform 16. The position in the second direction can be adjusted with the horizontal movement of the mobile platform. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction mentioned above, thereby adjusting the position of the material relative to the shelf storage platform. A roller assembly is fixedly installed under the mobile platform 16 to enable the mobile platform to move along the roller slide, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the roller assembly is arranged on the left and right sides of the mobile platform, including rollers, roller fixing frames 22, roller rods 24 and roller limiting bolts 23. Rollers that can roll along the roller slide 17 are installed in the roller fixing frames 22, and the rollers are connected to the roller fixing frames 22 by using the roller rods 24 and roller limiting bolts 23. A mobile platform drive assembly consisting of a second gear 26, a gear fixing block 27 and a second rack 25 is also provided in the middle below the mobile platform 16. Among them, the gear fixing block 27 is installed on the top of the movable platform frame 11 and has a built-in motor, which can fix and drive the second gear 26. The second rack 25 is fixedly connected to the mobile platform 16 at the top, and the second gear 26 meshes with the second rack 25. Therefore, the motor drives the gear rack structure to drive the upper mobile platform 16 to move horizontally along the roller slide 17 in the second direction, which can adjust the front and rear position of the material 1 and facilitate the subsequent material handling.

[0057] In addition, auxiliary moving components are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the mobile platform 16. The auxiliary moving components include a movable platform drive motor 9. The movable platform drive motor 9 is installed at both ends of the movable platform frame 11. Figure 5 As shown, the left and right ends of the movable platform frame 11 are respectively fixed with mounting plates 10. The mounting plate 10 is a hollow frame structure. The movable platform drive motor 9 is installed in the mounting plate 10, thereby protecting the movable platform drive motor. The top of the mounting plate 10 can be opened to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the motor. Figure 7 As shown, the output shaft of the movable platform drive motor 9 is connected to the second drive rod 56, and the second drive rod 56 can drive the first drive rod 54 to rotate through a synchronous pulley mechanism composed of a second synchronous pulley 57, a synchronous belt 58 and a first synchronous pulley 55. The bottom end of the first drive rod 54 is fixedly connected to the first synchronous pulley 55, and the top is coaxially connected to the first gear 53. The first rack 54 is connected to the bottom of the mobile platform 16. The first gear 53 cooperates with the first rack 54 to provide a driving force for the mobile platform 16 to move in the second direction, which can assist the mobile platform drive component to achieve smooth movement of the mobile platform 46, and better meet the transportation needs during the storage and retrieval of goods with larger volume and weight.

[0058] Specifically, the material 1 is placed on a material flatbed truck, and a mobile platform slideway 20 along the second direction is fixed on both sides of the top of the mobile platform 16. A material flatbed truck that can move horizontally along the slideway is provided in the mobile platform slideway. Figure 8 As shown, the material flatbed truck includes a material rack 30 and a material pulley 29 at the bottom of the material rack. When the material pulley 29 rolls along the mobile platform slideway 20, the material rack 30 and the material 1 carried on the top thereof are moved.

[0059] In order to improve the safety and stability of material storage and retrieval in the three-dimensional storage system, this embodiment designs a double locking mode for the movement of the material flatbed truck. Double locking is formed on the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle through the slider locking mechanism and the cylinder locking mechanism, and double locking is formed on the shelf storage platform through the loading platform slider locking mechanism and the lever assembly.

[0060] Specifically, if Figure 7 、 8 As shown, the left and right sides of the material rack 30 are respectively fixed with a horizontally arranged first material rack pin 28 and a second material rack pin 31. The first material rack pin 28 and the second material rack pin 31 cooperate with the mobile platform motor locking mechanism 51 fixed on the mobile platform to lock the slider.

[0061] In this embodiment, the mobile platform motor locking mechanism 51 serves as a slider locking mechanism on the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle, and its structure is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the mobile platform motor locking mechanism 51 includes a limiter frame 32, which is fixed to the top of the mobile platform 16 by a first fixing bolt 35 and a second fixing bolt 37. The limiter frame 32 can cooperate with the first material frame pin and the second material frame pin to lock the position of the material within a small range. Figure 9 As shown, a parallel first motor frame 33 and a second motor frame 39 are fixedly installed on the side of the limit mechanism frame 32 facing the material frame, and both motor frames are equipped with a driving motor. The ends of the output shafts of the two driving motors are respectively connected to a first locking block 34 and a second locking block 38. A horizontal locking slot 40 is provided on the outside of the motor frame. The first locking block 34 and the second locking block 38 are arranged in the locking slot 40 at a certain interval. The two locking blocks are wedge-shaped structures and can rotate in a single direction in the locking slot under the drive of the driving motor. The rotation directions of the first locking block 34 and the second locking block 38 are opposite, so that the slider locking mechanism can be used to lock the first material frame pin or the second material frame pin through the two locking blocks, thereby limiting the transfer of materials.

[0062] In this embodiment, a patch pressure sensor 36 is installed on the opposite side of the first locking block 34 and the second locking block 38. When the material shelf pin contacts the first locking block or the second locking block, the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure value. When the material shelf pin is stuck in the middle of the two locking blocks, the slider is locked. When unlocking, when the material shelf pin approaches the locking block on one side, the pressure sensor on that side detects that it has reached the set threshold, and the built-in drive motor drives the locking block on the other side to rotate, so that the material shelf pin can move to the other side, thereby unlocking the material flatbed truck. The slider locking mechanism of this embodiment is usually locked at the end of loading and unlocked when picking up the goods; this locking structure only needs to be powered on during the picking process, and the rest of the time it is locked by the structure itself, saving electricity and energy.

[0063] Specifically, the cylinder locking mechanism is provided on the mobile platform 16 and is located between the mobile platform slideways 20 on the left and right sides. Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the cylinder locking structure includes a cylinder 18 installed on the mobile platform through a cylinder fixing part 19. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 18 can be extended to the left and right sides. The end of the telescopic rod is connected to a cylinder locking pin 21. When the cylinder 18 is started and the telescopic rod is extended to both sides, the cylinder locking pin 21 can be pushed into the mobile platform slide 20, thereby blocking the movement of the material flatbed truck on the mobile platform slide 20 and locking the material 1 inside the mobile platform.

[0064] In this embodiment, the cylinder locking mechanism is simple in structure and complements the slider locking mechanism: the slider locking mechanism secures cargo within a certain area, preventing accidents even in the event of a power outage due to its reverse locking function. The cylinder locking mechanism reduces the inertia and impact of materials during movement on the mobile intelligent loading and unloading vehicle, effectively preventing them from slipping and falling if the slider locking mechanism fails. While utilizing pulley transmission to reduce energy consumption, simplify maintenance, and enhance scalability, this dual locking mechanism fully ensures the safety of large and heavy cargo during storage.

[0065] Specifically, the shelf storage platform of this embodiment includes multiple layers and multiple rows of shelves, such as Figure 11 、 12As shown, the shelf storage platform includes an outer loading platform connecting frame 41. A lever locking structure is provided on the side of the loading platform connecting frame 41. The lever locking structure includes a lever drive motor 43, which is fixed to the loading platform connecting frame 41 via a lever drive motor fixing frame 42. The output shaft of the lever drive motor 43 is connected to a lead screw 47, and a lever plate 50 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the lead screw 47. A lever drive motor 49 is fixedly mounted to the lever plate 50 via a lever rotation motor bracket 48. The lever rotation motor 49 is located below the lever plate. Its output shaft is connected to the lever 44, and one end of the lever 44 is rotationally connected to the lever plate 50. In this embodiment, the lever drive motor 43 drives the lead screw 47, which in turn drives the lever 44 to move horizontally via the lever plate 50, causing the lever 44 to move closer to or further away from the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle. The lever rotating motor 49 is used to drive the lever 41 to rotate, so that the lever 41 is stuck with the material rack slot 45 on the edge of the material rack 30, and then the lever driving motor can drive the material flatbed truck to move the material as a whole, so that the material can be transferred between the mobile loading and unloading platform and the shelf storage platform.

[0066] In addition, in order to realize that the material flatbed truck can be smoothly moved to the inside and automatically locked in position after being transferred to the shelf storage platform, such as Figure 10 As shown, similar to the mobile platform, the shelf storage platform is provided with a loading platform slide 62, and the material pulley 29 of the material flatbed truck can slide along the loading platform slide 62. The two sides of the shelf storage platform are fixed with a loading platform outer frame 63, combined with Figure 11 As shown, the loading platform outer frame 63 is provided with a loading platform slider locking mechanism, and its structure is similar to Figure 9 The structure of the mobile platform motor locking mechanism shown is similar. Through the motor, locking block, locking slide and pressure sensor, it cooperates with the first material rack pin 28 and the second material rack pin 29 set on the material rack to lock the material within a small position range of the shelf storage platform, so that the material can be automatically and safely transferred to a specific position inside the shelf.

[0067] Combine Figure 1 、 2As shown, after the goods are loaded onto the mobile loading and unloading platform 2, the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle is aligned with the corresponding shelf in horizontal position and height through the scissor-type lifting mechanism and the mobile ground rail 4, and the mobile platform 16 is driven outward by the motor to align with the loading platform slide 62. Since the bending moment generated on one side of the scissor-type mechanism is large, a cylinder support assembly is provided to push the support block 15 to the mobile platform 16 for safety protection. The lever drive motor 43 drives the lever 44 to move to the material 1, and the lever rotating motor 49 rotates to make the lever 44 stuck with the material rack slot 45. At this time, the motor of the slider locking mechanism is in a power-off state. When the lever 44 pulls the material 1 and the material rack 30 to move as a whole, the material flatbed truck moves on the mobile platform and gradually approaches the shelf storage platform. Combined with Figure 13 As shown, the locking process between the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle and the shelf loading and unloading platform in this embodiment is as follows: the slider locking mechanism on the mobile platform is locked until the pressure sensor on the surface of the first locking block 34 detects a pressure value that exceeds a set threshold, and the lever pulls the material and the material rack in the opposite direction until the pressure sensor on the second locking block 38 detects a pressure value. The drive motor built into the motor frame is energized, driving the first locking block 34 to rotate and unlock. The cylinder locking mechanism then activates, and the cylinder 18 retracts the cylinder locking pin 21, unlocking the cylinder locking mechanism and allowing the material 1 to be fully moved to the shelf storage platform. Once the material has been moved to the designated location on the shelf storage platform, the first and second material rack pins 32, 36 cooperate with the loading platform slider locking mechanism 46 to lock the material. At this point, the locking motor is de-energized, indicating automatic locking of the structure. This is achieved by pulling the lever during material storage.

[0068] When picking up goods, the lever drives the material to move outward, and the slider locking mechanism is unlocked in the same way as the inventory process. The mobile loading and unloading platform is aligned with the shelf storage platform, and is moved to the mobile loading and unloading platform by the traction of the lever to lock the slider locking mechanism and the cylinder locking mechanism. Finally, the goods are picked up by the mobile loading and unloading intelligent vehicle.
