[0002] Multi-layer storage equipment is a logistics warehousing system that increases warehouse utilization by vertically expanding storage space, achieving high-density storage and automated management of goods.

[0003] At present, multi-layer storage equipment includes shelves and robots. The robots clamp the packages and place them on the shelves. At the same time, when the express needs to be taken out, the robots clamp the express on the shelf and take it out. At the same time, barcodes or RFID tags are used to mark the items, and warehouse management software is used to achieve a certain degree of item tracking and management.

[0004] At present, since the space occupied by the robot is large and the cost of the robot is high, a robot is often set between two adjacent shelves. When the long side of the shelf is too long and the efficiency of one robot is too slow, two robots are set between the two adjacent shelves. The two robots are distributed at both ends of the long side of the shelf, thereby reducing the time for the robot to run back and forth. Some packages on the shelves need to be placed on the shelves for storage, and some packages need to be retrieved from the shelves. The robot can only choose one task to complete between storage and retrieval, and it is difficult to store and retrieve packages at the same time, which makes the storage and retrieval efficiency of packages low.

There are multiple pushing parts, and the multiple pushing parts are distributed along the long side of the connection, so that the sliding block 412 can smoothly rotate from the top to the bottom of the main conveyor belt 41 along the main conveyor belt 41, and then the sliding block 412 rotates from the bottom to the top of the main conveyor belt 41, and this cycle is repeated. The number of sliding blocks 412 is adapted to the number of storage cavities, and the sliding block 412 can move along the wide side of the main conveyor belt 41. The way in which the sliding block 412 moves along the main transmission belt is consistent with the way in which the pushing block 24 moves along the placement platform 23, and is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage transfer assembly 4 also includes a sub-transfer member 42. The structure of the sub-transfer member 42 is consistent with the structure of the main transfer member. In the embodiment of the present application, it is not described in detail. The sub-transfer member 42 is arranged on one side of the horizontal cabinet group 12. The sub-transfer member 42 is located in the conveying space. The long side of the sub-transfer member 42 is perpendicular to the long side of the main transfer member. The number of sub-transfer members 42 is determined according to the number of placement units. Multiple sub-transfer members 42 are distributed along the wide side of the support frame 11, and there is a conveying space between two adjacent sub-transfer members 42, so that one side of each horizontal cabinet group 12 is close to the corresponding side of the sub-transfer member 42.

[0041] The horizontal plane of the top surface of the sub-transfer member 42 is higher than the horizontal plane of the bottom surface of the adjacent placement cabinet 121.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first lifting platform 2 transfers the package to the corresponding shelf 1 layer, and then the pushing block 24 pushes the package on the top surface of the placement platform 23 to the top surface of the main conveyor belt 41, and the package enters the storage cavity, the main conveyor belt 41 transfers the package to the side of the corresponding sub-transfer member 42, and then the sliding block 412 pushes the package in the storage cavity, pushes the package to the top surface of the sub-transfer member 42, and then the sub-transfer member 42 transfers the package to the side of the corresponding placement cabinet 121, and the sub-transfer member 42 pushes the package so that the package enters the cavity of the placement cabinet 121 along the top surface of the inclined plate 123, thereby storing the package, and then saves the information of the package and the information of the placement cabinet 121 where the package is located, so as to facilitate the subsequent retrieval of the package.

[0044] The first lifting platform 2 and the storage transfer component 4 work together. The first lifting platform 2 transports the package to the corresponding shelf 1 layer, and then the storage transfer component 4 transports the package to the corresponding placement cabinet 121. Compared with the situation of placement by a robot, the robot not only needs to send the package to the corresponding shelf 1 layer, but also needs to move to the side of the corresponding placement cabinet 121, so as to place the package in the corresponding placement cabinet 121, so that the storage time of the package is longer. The present application can improve the storage efficiency of the package.

The way the moving block 122 moves along the wide side is consistent with the way the pushing block 24 moves along the placement platform 23. In the embodiment of the present application, it is not described in detail.

[0048] When the package needs to be taken out, the moving block 122 is driven to move along the wide side of the placement cabinet 121. The moving block 122 lifts one end of the inclined plate 123, thereby moving away from the bottom of the inclined plate 123. Then the moving block 122 pushes the package in the placement cabinet 121. The moving block 122 pushes the package to the top of the horizontal conveyor belt 51, and the horizontal conveyor belt 51 conveys the package to one side of the longitudinal conveyor belt 52.

Then, the sliding block 412 pushes the package in the storage cavity and pushes the package to the top surface of the sub-transfer member 42. Then, the sub-transfer member 42 transfers the package to the side of the corresponding placement cabinet 121. The sub-transfer member 42 pushes the package so that the package enters the cavity of the placement cabinet 121 along the top surface of the inclined plate 123, thereby storing the package. Then, the information of the package and the information of the placement cabinet 121 where the package is located are saved to facilitate the subsequent retrieval of the package.

[0056] S3: The parcel to be taken is moved out of the placement cabinet 121: When the parcel needs to be taken out, the moving block 122 is driven to move along the wide side of the placement cabinet 121, and the moving block 122 lifts one end of the inclined plate 123 until the moving block 122 is away from the bottom of the inclined plate 123.
