[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The box-type storage cabinet shown is used in a smart warehouse. It includes an external storage cabinet 1. A detachable electrically controlled roller shutter retraction device 2 is fixedly installed on the left side inside the external storage cabinet 1. The external storage cabinet 1 is equipped with four horizontal electrically controlled guide rails 3. Modular storage boxes 4 are installed on the horizontal electrically controlled guide rails 3. A vertical lifting channel 5 is set inside the external storage cabinet 1 on the left side of the horizontal electrically controlled guide rails 3. An electrically controlled lifting platform 6 that cooperates with the detachable electrically controlled roller shutter retraction device 2 is installed inside the vertical lifting channel 5. A vertical adjustment port is provided on the left side wall of the external storage cabinet 1. A modular stacking box 7 is hung on the outer opening of the vertical adjustment port.

[0023] To facilitate support and translation, the horizontally placed electrically controlled guide rail 3 includes a horizontally placed support guide rail 31, an electrically controlled translation screw 32 installed inside the horizontally placed support guide rail 31, and an internally threaded translation block 33 threaded onto the electrically controlled translation screw 32. The internally threaded translation block 33 has a lateral limiting groove 34 with upper and lower openings on its side wall.

[0024] The electrically controlled translation screw 32 controls the internal thread translation block 33 to translate inside the horizontal support guide rail 31 by rotating.

[0025] To facilitate height adjustment, the electrically controlled lifting platform 6 includes a longitudinally placed first lifting screw 61, a longitudinally placed second lifting screw 62, a first internally threaded lifting frame 63, a second internally threaded lifting frame 64, and a top-mounted translation frame 65, all installed on the inner wall of the longitudinally placed lifting channel 5.

[0026] The longitudinally placed first lifting screw 61 drives the first internal thread lifting frame 63 to rise and fall by rotation. The longitudinally placed second lifting screw 62 drives the second internal thread lifting frame 64 to rise and fall by rotation. The top-positioned translation frame 65 is slidably assembled on the upper surface of the first internal thread lifting frame 63. As the top-positioned translation frame 65 moves up and down synchronously, it has lateral limiting blocks on both sides that cooperate with the lateral limiting groove 34. When the top-positioned translation frame 65 moves up and down, it can normally pass through the lateral limiting groove 34 longitudinally. When translation is required, it is driven by the internal thread translation block 33 to translate inside the horizontal support guide rail 31. The horizontal support guide rail 31 limits the upper and lower openings of the lateral limiting groove 34.

[0027] To reduce friction and improve guidance, transverse guide wheels are installed inside the first internal thread lifting frame 63, the second internal thread lifting frame 64, and the top translation frame 65.

[0028] To facilitate side loading and unloading, the side wall of the external storage cabinet 1 is provided with a side loading and unloading port for loading and unloading the detachable electronically controlled roller shutter retraction device 2.

[0029] To facilitate optical recognition and detection of information about the items, a side assembly frame 66 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the first internal thread lifting frame 63, and an optical scanning module 67 for identifying materials is installed on the inner top surface of the side assembly frame 66.

[0030] The optical scanning module 67 scans the QR code on the surface of the item by emitting infrared rays downwards, thereby recording the item's information. This information is then transmitted to the host system installed inside the external storage cabinet 1. The host system compares the item information and its position inside the external storage cabinet 1, and then automatically controls the electrically controlled lifting platform 6 to lift it above the modular stacking box 7 where the item is stored. Then, the horizontal electrically controlled guide rail 3 is activated, pulling the top-positioned translation frame 65 inserted into the lateral limiting groove 34 to translate. While the top-positioned translation frame 65 is translating, it pulls the strip guide belt 24 on the detachable electrically controlled roller shutter take-up and take-down device 2 until the top-positioned translation frame 65 is moved above the modular stacking box 7 where the item is stored. Then, the detachable electrically controlled roller shutter take-up and take-down device 2 guides the item from below into the modular stacking box 7 where the item is stored.

[0031] To facilitate installation, lateral assembly blocks 8 are fixed on both sides of the vertical adjustment port on the left side wall of the external storage cabinet 1.

[0032] The bottom assembly box 71 is inserted and fixed onto the side assembly block 8 through the assembly slot on the connecting surface.

[0033] To facilitate electrically controlled material guiding, the modular stacking box 7 includes a bottom assembly box 71, a modular assembly box 72 spliced ​​to the upper opening of the bottom assembly box 71, an electrically controlled lifting machine 73 installed at the bottom of the bottom assembly box 71, and an electrically controlled translation support rod 74 installed on the side wall of the bottom assembly box 71.

[0034] The function of the electrically controlled lifting platform 73 is to lift the items located at the bottom of the bottom assembly box 71 upwards, so that the items inside the vertical adjustment port can be easily guided into the bottom assembly box 71, thus facilitating the layer-by-layer unloading; while the function of the electrically controlled translation support rod 74 is to push and move the items at the bottom of the bottom assembly box 71 into the vertical adjustment port, thus facilitating the loading.

[0035] To facilitate material feeding, the detachable electrically controlled roller shutter retraction device 2 includes an outer cover 21, an electrically controlled roller shutter shaft 22 movably installed inside the outer cover 21, seven elastic tension adjustment frames 23, and a strip guide belt 24.

[0036] The elastic tension adjustment frame 23 is equipped with a horizontal roller that works with the strip guide belt 24. The elastic tension adjustment frame 23 slides horizontally along the guide translation grooves opened on both sides of the outer cover 21. A compression spring is installed inside the guide translation groove to ensure its elastic compression force. At the same time, an electrically controlled telescopic block is installed at both ends of the elastic tension adjustment frame 23 to lock the position of the elastic tension adjustment frame 23, thereby reducing the operating energy consumption of the electrically controlled roller shutter shaft 22.

[0037] The electrically controlled roller shutter shaft 22 controls the conveying of the strip guide belt 24 by rotating, while the elastic tension adjustment frame 23 is used to control the tension of the strip guide belt 24, thereby ensuring the transmission efficiency between the electrically controlled roller shutter shaft 22 and the strip guide belt 24. It also makes it convenient to elastically store the strip guide belt 24 inside the outer cover 21 when the electrically controlled lifting platform 6 descends, making it easy to retract and extend.

[0038] To facilitate material feeding, the lower surface of the modular storage box 4 is provided with a bottom feeding port 9, and an electrically controlled elastic extrusion guide frame 10 is installed inside the bottom feeding port 9.

[0039] The electrically controlled elastic extrusion guide frame 10 includes an embedded translation guide rail installed on the inner wall of the modular storage box 4, an adjusting threaded rod installed inside the embedded translation guide rail, a lateral extrusion plate sleeved on the adjusting threaded rod by internal threaded blocks on both sides, an extrusion spring sleeved on the outside of the adjusting threaded rod, and a lateral limiting plate installed on the other end of the extrusion spring.

[0040] By adjusting the threaded rod, the side extrusion plate is moved horizontally inside the modular storage box 4, extruding the items on one side. Then, the side limiting plate is extruded by the extrusion spring and moved to the other side of the bottom discharge port 9. Then, the bottom discharge port 9 is opened, and the items that were originally attached to one side of the side limiting plate will fall from the bottom discharge port 9 onto the strip guide belt 24 located below, and then be discharged through the strip guide belt 24.

[0041] Working principle: When loading is required: Items are guided into the modular stacking box 7 through the top opening, and then guided onto the electrically controlled lifting platform 6 via the electrically controlled translation support rod 74. The modular storage box 4 requiring loading is located through optical recognition. Then, the electrically controlled lifting platform 6 controls the strip guide belt 24 to lift the modular storage box 4 to the horizontal electrically controlled guide rail 3 above it. Then, the top translation frame 65 is moved to the top opening of the modular storage box 4 via the horizontal electrically controlled guide rail 3. Finally, the electrically controlled roller shutter 2... 2. The control strip guide belt 24 guides the items into the modular storage box 4. When unloading is required, people operate the control panel on the left side of the front of the external storage cabinet 1 to specify the item information. Then, the electric lifting platform 6 controls the strip guide belt 24 to be lifted to the horizontal electric guide rail 3 below the modular storage box 4. Then, the items fall from inside the modular storage box 4 onto the strip guide belt 24. The electric roller shutter shaft 22 controls the strip guide belt 24 to guide the items into the bottom assembly box 71.

[0042] With the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention as a guide, and with reference to the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
