Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a vertical warehousing and logistics combination system, belonging to the field of warehousing and logistics combination technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of e-commerce and the increasing complexity of the logistics industry, the market demand for efficient, accurate, and low-cost warehousing solutions is becoming increasingly urgent. Warehousing and logistics integration systems, through the integration of information technology, achieve real-time inventory monitoring, automated order processing, and optimized logistics routes, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of warehousing operations. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of the warehousing and logistics industry and has introduced a series of policies to support and guide it. For example, the "14th Five-Year Plan for Modern Logistics Development" explicitly proposes to promote the construction of logistics hub infrastructure and the development of smart logistics. These policies have provided strong guarantees and impetus for the development of enterprise warehousing systems. The current state of enterprise warehousing systems is characterized by increased intelligence levels, growing market demand, diversified and intensified competition, a coexistence of challenges and opportunities, and a favorable policy environment.

[0003] The issue of bundling and packaging warehouse materials involves multiple aspects, including goods classification, selection of packaging materials, packaging techniques, and operational procedures. Before bundling warehouse materials, the goods must first be classified. Classification can be based on factors such as type, size, material, weight, and quantity. Classification allows for a more scientific and rational selection of packaging methods and materials, improving packaging efficiency and quality. When selecting packaging materials, it is necessary to choose according to the characteristics of the goods and transportation requirements to ensure adequate protection during transport. During the packaging process, it is crucial to ensure the orderliness and accuracy of the goods, avoiding confusion and wasted time and costs due to duplicate packaging. Simultaneously, attention must be paid to the stability of the goods to prevent them from collapsing or slipping and causing injury. Finally, the introduction of automated equipment, such as automated sorting equipment and intelligent robots, should be maximized to improve packaging efficiency and accuracy.

[0004] Vertical warehousing and logistics integration systems, through rational racking layouts and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS), can significantly increase storage space, improve storage capacity and efficiency. They achieve higher storage density within limited space and reduce warehouse footprint. Automated and intelligent equipment and technologies, such as AS / RS, RFID technology, and unmanned transport vehicles (ARTV), reduce manual operations, lower error rates, and accelerate material turnover. Simultaneously, vertical transport systems can quickly transfer goods, greatly shortening loading and unloading times and improving logistics efficiency. As a crucial link in the supply chain, vertical warehousing and logistics integration systems enable information sharing and collaborative operations with upstream and downstream enterprises. Through close cooperation with partners such as suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors, the system can achieve transparent and visual management of the supply chain, improving its responsiveness and flexibility. In summary, vertical warehousing and logistics integration systems bring significant economic and social benefits to enterprises through improved storage and logistics efficiency, optimized inventory management, enhanced supply chain collaboration, and the promotion of green and sustainable development. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a vertical warehousing and logistics combination system. This system enables the rapid combination and packaging of large and small parcels. It contributes to the upgrading and transformation of warehousing technology in my country, using mechanical transmission technology as its core and employing specially designed arc-shaped channels, movable loading platforms, loading stages, and secondary packaging devices to achieve a completely new vertical warehousing and logistics combination process.

[0006] A vertical warehousing and logistics combination system, comprising:

[0007] Specialized storage racks: Divided into three columns, A, B, and C. Columns A and C are used to store small packages, while column B is used to store large packages. Each layer of the specialized storage rack is equipped with a large platform and a small platform, forming several storage spaces. Columns A and C are L wide, and column B is 3L wide. The small movable platforms on the outer support rods carry small components from columns A and C to the left and right ends of the specially designed arc-shaped channel. Packaging bags and x-axis push plates can provide secondary packaging for small packages. The large movable platforms, large platforms, and specialized packaging boxes on column B enable the overall combination packaging of packages of all sizes.

[0008] Specially designed arc-shaped channel: running through the three layers (o, n, m) of the specially designed storage rack in the x-direction, with the left and right ends located at the bottom of the Ao and Co areas to receive small packages transferred from other spaces in the same column, and equipped with a first valve that opens and closes in the x-direction; the Bm area has a bottom center swing plate that opens and closes in the y-direction, with two second valves symmetrically designed on both sides of the bottom center swing plate. Both the first and second valves are connected to a control power source and can be opened and closed electrically, transferring small packages from columns A and C to the Bm area for combination, and then loading the combined packages of various sizes into a specially designed packaging box;

[0009] x-axis push plate: Installed at both ends of the large platform in the Bm area, it pushes large packages to the left and right sides of the Bm area, and combines them with small packages falling through the specially designed arc channel. The power supply is controlled to adjust the height difference between the large platform and the large movable platform to transfer the combined packages.

[0010] A support rod is installed on the outside of the specially designed storage rack. A large movable carrier plate and a small movable carrier plate are installed on the support rod, which move along the y-direction and are used to transport packages. The large movable carrier plate has a specially designed packaging box for receiving packages in the Bm area.

[0011] The support rod is connected to a belt drive device in the z-direction to allow the support rod to move in the z-direction.

[0012] The specially designed storage racks in columns A and C are equipped with stabilizing plates that penetrate the racks in the x-direction and compensate for instability caused by the specially designed arc-shaped passageway running through them. The opposite end of the stabilizing plate is fixed to the external wall. The specially designed arc-shaped passageway runs through the storage units (An, Bn, Cn, and Bm) of the specially designed storage racks in the x-direction. A stabilizing plate that penetrates the top of the unit (Ao, Co) preceding the An and Cn storage units that pass through the left and right ends of the arc-shaped passageway is designed in the x-direction. One end of the stabilizing plate is fixed to the external wall to compensate for the instability caused by the arc-shaped passageway.

[0013] Both large and small platforms are designed with a z-axis belt drive. The large platform has x-axis push plates at both ends, which can push large components to move in the x-direction.

[0014] The upper layer of the large moving platform is made of spring-loaded shock-absorbing material.

[0015] The large movable platform has a specially designed packaging box with two long and two short sides facing upwards and the other five sides sealed. Packaging foam is placed inside the five sides, and a sealing plate with two long and two short sides is also provided for sealing.

[0016] Also includes:

[0017] Secondary packaging device: Located at the left and right ends of a specially designed arc channel, it includes two opposing extrusion plates in the x-direction that spray out a sticky substance to seal the opening of the packaging bag after being subjected to x-direction extrusion pressure, and several open z-direction packaging bags.

[0018] Also includes:

[0019] The packaging paper printing device, located inside the uppermost area, can print information on the outer packaging bag and has a Z-axis pushing mechanism.

[0020] The lower end of the bottom swing plate is fixed, and the plate swings left and right, which can respectively cover the two second valves at the bottom of both sides of the swing plate.

[0021] This invention employs an embedded optimization design, with a specially designed arc-shaped channel penetrating through the specially designed storage rack units (An, Bn, Cn, and Bm) in the x-direction. A stabilizing plate penetrating through the x-direction is designed on the top of the unit (Ao, Co) above the An and Cn storage units that penetrate to the left and right ends of the specially designed arc-shaped channel. One end of the stabilizing plate is fixed to the external wall to compensate for the instability caused by the penetration of the specially designed arc-shaped channel.

[0022] The y-axis movement between storage shelves in the same row can be achieved by the cooperation of the platform and the movable platform via a z-axis belt conveyor.

[0023] To ensure that the assembled large and small packages can be smoothly shipped out, the large movable carrier plate is characterized by having a spring-loaded shock-absorbing material on the upper layer. Furthermore, the specially designed packaging box on the large movable carrier plate is characterized by having two long and two short sides facing upwards, with the remaining five sides sealed. Packaging foam is provided on the inner side of each of the five sides, and a sealing plate with two long and two short sides is also provided for sealing.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] This invention promotes the intelligent upgrading of the warehousing and logistics integration process; the overall vertical design saves floor space costs; the cargo transfer route / steps are significantly simplified, saving on movement path calculation costs; fragile items are flexibly transferred throughout the process and undergo secondary packaging, effectively preventing damage to goods; the fully automated secondary packaging process is well-integrated with overall logistics transportation. The platform of this invention can be well integrated into the existing warehousing and logistics system.

[0026] Small and large parcels, if not requiring manual assembly, can move freely in the Y-direction, outbound, and inbound according to the existing warehousing and logistics model. The specially designed arc-shaped channel allows the assembly process, which originally required an additional step after outbound shipment, to be completed in advance within the warehouse. Both the design of the special packaging boxes and the secondary packaging device prevent damage to the parcels during the assembly process, significantly reducing packaging time.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The vertical warehousing and logistics combination system is designed around storage racks. The specially designed storage rack 1 is divided into three columns: A, B, and C. Columns A and C are L wide and used to store small packages, while column B is 3L wide and used to store large packages. Thus, the specially designed storage rack 1 is divided into several storage spaces, on which large platforms 9 and small platforms 10 are placed, labeled from bottom to top with the letters a to z. The specially designed arc-shaped channel 2 penetrates the central area of ​​the specially designed storage rack 1 in the x-direction, for example, penetrating storage spaces An, Bn, Bm, and Cn as shown in the figure. The instability of the upper part of the storage rack caused by this penetration is compensated by two stabilizing plates 3, one end of which is embedded in the outer wall of the storage rack.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 8 The specially designed arc-shaped channel 2 has its left and right ends located at the bottom of Ao and Co, with the interiors of Ao and Co left empty to receive small packages transferred from other storage spaces in the same row. Small packages pass through the electrically controlled gate (2a or 2b) at the top of the specially designed arc-shaped channel 2 and slide down. The bottom center swing plate (2c), in conjunction with the two gates (2e and 2f) on its left and right sides, controls whether the package falls from 2e or 2f. Taking a package entering through gate 2a as an example, if it needs to fall through gate 2e, the swing plate (2c) remains neutral; if it needs to fall through gate 2f, the swing plate tilts to the left to cover gate 2e. If a package fails to pass smoothly from gate 2a to gate 2f, the swing plate will adjust from a leftward tilting state to a neutral or rightward tilting state, pushing the package to fall through gate 2f.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 Support rods 11 are designed along the outer side of the specially designed storage rack 1 in columns B and A / C for the vertical movement of the large movable storage tray 5 and the small movable storage tray 6. The storage trays are designed with a belt pulley structure and can move along the z-axis; the large movable storage tray 5, which needs to receive large and small packages assembled and transferred from the Bm storage space, has a spring-loaded shock-absorbing material on its upper layer. Similarly, each storage space (except Ao, An, Bn, Co, and Cn) is designed with a belt pulley structure at its bottom and can move along the z-axis.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 The large mobile platform 5 has a dedicated packaging box for receiving Bm storage space. The two long and two short sides of the packaging box face upwards, while the other five sides are sealed. Packaging foam is placed inside the five sides for shock absorption. After the large mobile platform 5 carries the packaging box and the assembled packages of various sizes down to the ground, the corresponding two long and two short sealing plates will perform the final sealing.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 Regarding the assembly process of large and small packages within the Bm storage space: X-axis push plates 8 are designed at both ends of the Bm storage space to push large packages to the left / right side of the space; subsequently, small packages fall from the opposite right / left side above, completing the assembly of large and small packages; a large platform 9 at the bottom of the Bm storage space has a belt pulley structure, responsible for sliding the assembled large and small packages from top to bottom into a specially designed packaging box 7 on the large platform 9. At this time, the control power supply 4 adjusts the height difference between the large movable platform 5 and the large platform 9.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 For small packages requiring secondary packaging, secondary packaging devices 12 are designed at the left and right ends of the specially designed arc-shaped channel 2 (i.e., storage units Ao and Co). Before the small package enters the storage units Ao / Co, if the package requires secondary packaging, the electric gates at the left / right ends of the specially designed arc-shaped channel 2 are closed. The packaging paper printing device 13 pushes the printed packaging paper forward in the z-direction. After the small package enters the storage unit, the extrusion plates at both ends of the storage unit begin to extrude and spray out an adhesive substance for sealing the opening of the packaging bag.

[0044] The key to this invention lies in its comprehensive approach to addressing the space costs associated with sorting and combining packages of different sizes. The overall vertical structure and the embedded design that runs through the x-axis maximize the efficiency of the transit and sorting process. Furthermore, packages requiring secondary packaging and updated logistics information are processed immediately. Finally, from an application perspective, this invention is more intelligent and convenient than existing warehousing and logistics systems, with clearly defined operating parameters and significant advantages in combination packaging, making it suitable for the logistics transit of large quantities and diverse types of goods.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
