For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0062] The technical scheme of the present application will be further illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 8 and specific embodiments.

[0063] As Figures 1-8 shown, a plate storage device comprises a photographing mechanism 1, a taking and placing mechanism 2, a weighing mechanism 3, a receiving mechanism 4, a storage mechanism 5, a discharging mechanism 6 and a control processor;

[0064] The receiving mechanism 4 is used for receiving target plates produced by a production line and ready to be stored in a warehouse;

[0065] The taking and placing mechanism 2 is used for taking and placing target plates, so that the target plates can be transferred between the receiving mechanism 4, the storage mechanism 5, the weighing mechanism 3 and the discharging mechanism 6;

[0066] The storage mechanism 5 is used for storing target plates to be stored in a warehouse;

[0067] The weighing mechanism 3 is provided with a loading plate surface, the loading plate surface is used for storing target plates to be stored in a warehouse, and the weighing mechanism 3 is used for obtaining the weight of the target plates to be stored in the warehouse stored on the loading plate surface;

[0068] The photographing end of the photographing mechanism 1 is arranged towards the loading plate surface, and the photographing mechanism 1 is used for shooting the plate surface image of the first surface of the target plates stored in the weighing mechanism 3;

[0069] The discharging mechanism 6 is used for receiving target plates to be discharged from the warehouse taken out by the taking and placing mechanism 2;

[0070] The control processor is in communication connection with the photographing mechanism 1, the taking and placing mechanism 2 and the weighing mechanism 3, the control processor is used for receiving the weight of the target plates and the plate surface image information of the first surface of the target plates, and calculating the size parameters of the target plates according to the weight of the target plates and the plate surface image information of the target plates.

[0071] The scheme can automatically complete the warehousing and delivery operation of the target plate through the cooperation of the photographing mechanism 1, the taking and placing mechanism 2, the weighing mechanism 3, the receiving mechanism 4, the storage mechanism 5, the delivery mechanism 6 and the control processor, and automatically measures the size of the target plate to be warehoused in combination with the weighing and photographing measurement technology, so that the corresponding size of the target plate can be quickly selected for delivery during the subsequent deep processing of the artificial stone plate.

[0072] It is worth noting that the thickness information of the plate is calculated in combination with the weighing and photographing measurement technology, the closest standard thickness is selected as the rough thickness according to the calculated plate thickness, then the shooting distance is corrected through the rough thickness, and then the size information of the plate is calculated according to the corrected shooting distance, so that the measured size of the plate is more accurate, and the size information of the plate can be automatically measured without manual operation, and the efficiency is higher.

[0073] As shown in Figure 1 , the receiving mechanism 4 is a fixed stacking rack, and the delivery mechanism 6 is a rotary stacking rack.

[0074] Specifically, the target plate to be warehoused produced by the production line can be placed on the fixed stacking rack by a forklift, since the taking and placing mechanism 2 is a suction cup manipulator, it can be adjusted at multiple angles, so it is not necessary to adjust the angle of the placed target plate to adapt to the taking and placing mechanism 2, the target plate whose size is measured is placed on the rotary stacking rack by the taking and placing mechanism 2, and the angle of the placed target plate can be adjusted by the rotary stacking rack, so as to facilitate workers to take out the target plate for delivery by a forklift.

[0075] As shown in Figures 2-3 , the taking and placing mechanism 2 is a suction cup manipulator, a visual recognition mechanism is installed at the taking end of the suction cup manipulator, and the visual recognition mechanism is used to identify whether the adsorption surface of the target plate at the taking end of the suction cup manipulator is the first surface of the target plate, so that the first surface of the target plate placed on the weighing mechanism 3 faces the photographing end of the photographing mechanism 1.

[0076] Specifically, the taking and placing mechanism 2 is a suction cup manipulator, and the plate is taken by adsorption.

[0077] More specifically, the first surface of the target plate is the front surface of the target plate, and the front surface of the target plate contains patterns or colors, when the taking and placing mechanism 2 takes out the target plate from the receiving mechanism 4, the visual recognition mechanism identifies the adsorption surface of the target plate at the taking end of the taking and placing mechanism 2, if it is the first surface of the target plate, the target plate can be placed on the weighing mechanism 3 in the manner as shown in Figure 2 , if it is not the first surface of the target plate, the target plate can be placed on the weighing mechanism 3 in the manner as shown in Figure 3The target plate is placed on the weighing mechanism 3 in a manner such that the first face of the target plate faces the photographing end of the photographing mechanism 1.

[0078] Further, after the size recognition is completed, the accurate width W2, the accurate length L2, the production batch number, the number, the pattern or color of the front face and other related information of the target plate are uploaded to the cloud storage, and can be called through scanning in the production and deep processing of the plate.

[0079] As shown in Figures 6-8 The storage mechanism 5 includes a plurality of shelves 51 and shelf walking tracks 52.

[0080] The plurality of shelves 51 are movably arranged on the shelf walking tracks 52, and the shelf walking tracks 52 are used to guide the movement of the plurality of shelves 51.

[0081] Along the guide direction of the shelf walking tracks 52, one end of the shelf 51 is provided with a positioning piece 511, and the other end of the shelf 51 is rotatably provided with a locking piece 512. The locking piece 512 of one of the two adjacent shelves 51 is hooked to the positioning piece 511 of the other shelf 51.

[0082] A walking and jacking assembly 53 is arranged below the plurality of shelves 51, and the walking and jacking assembly 53 is movable along the shelf walking tracks 52. The walking and jacking assembly 53 is used to drive the locking piece 512 of the shelf 51 to rotate, so that the locking piece 512 of the shelf 51 is separated from the positioning piece 511 to which the locking piece 512 is hooked.

[0083] Specifically, the two adjacent shelves 51 are connected together by the hooking of the locking piece 512 and the positioning piece 511, so that a plurality of shelves 51 can be transferred at the same time during the transfer, thereby improving the efficiency of transferring the shelves 51. The locking piece 512 is driven to rotate by the walking and jacking assembly 53 to separate the two connected shelves 51, so that the single shelf 51 is transferred.

[0084] As shown in Figures 7-8 The locking piece 512 includes a main body part 5121 and a limiting part 5122 extending from one end of the main body part 5121.

[0085] The positioning piece 511 is arranged at one end of the bottom end of the side wall of the shelf 51, and the locking piece 512 is arranged at the other end of the bottom end of the side wall of the shelf 51.

[0086] The main body part 5121 is rotationally connected with the shelf 51, the limiting part 5122 is foldedly arranged at one end of the main body part 5121, the connecting part between the limiting part 5122 and the main body part 5121 forms a hooking part 5123, and the hooking part 5123 is hooked with the positioning part 511.

[0087] It can be understood that the limiting part 5122 is driven to rotate by the main body part 5121, so as to drive the hooking part 5123 formed by the main body part 5121 and the limiting part 5122 to move, so that the hooking part 5123 hooks the positioning part 511.

[0088] It is worth noting that when the target plate is stored and taken out, the two adjacent shelves 51 need to be separated, when the two adjacent shelves 51 are separated, the walking and jacking assembly 53 is driven to move to one of the shelves 51, the locking part 512 of the shelf 51 is driven to rotate by the walking and jacking assembly 53, so that the locking part 512 of the shelf 51 and the positioning part 511 of the other shelf 51 hooked by the locking part 512 are separated, then the other shelf 51 is moved, so that the other shelf 51 is separated from the shelf 51, the gap between the two separated shelves 51 can be passed through by the material taking and placing mechanism 2, then the material taking and placing mechanism 2 can place the target plate on the other shelf 51 or take the target plate from the other shelf 51, so as to complete the storage and taking out of the target plate.

[0089] Specifically, when the target plate is stored, the material taking and placing mechanism 2 takes out the target plate to be stored placed at the weighing mechanism 3, and places the target plate on the other shelf 51 after separation, then the shelf 51 is driven to move, so that the shelf 51 is tightly attached to the shelf 51 before separation, and then the locking part 512 of the shelf 51 before separation is driven to rotate by the walking and jacking assembly 53, so that the locking part 512 of the shelf 51 before separation and the positioning part 511 of the shelf 51 are hooked together; when the target plate is taken out, the material taking and placing mechanism 2 takes out the target plate placed on the other shelf 51 after separation, and places the target plate at the discharging mechanism 6.

[0090] As shown in Figures 7-8 The walking and jacking assembly 53 includes a walking trolley 531 and a trolley walking track, the trolley walking track is arranged side by side with the shelf walking track 52, the walking trolley 531 is movably arranged on the trolley walking track, and the trolley walking track is used for guiding the movement of the walking trolley 531.

[0091] The walking trolley 531 is provided with a linear electric cylinder 532.

[0092] Specifically, the linear motor 532 is driven by the walking trolley 531 to move, so that the telescopic end of the linear motor 532 abuts against the other end of the main body part 5121, and then the other end of the main body part 5121 is lifted by the telescopic end of the linear motor 532, thereby driving the main body part 5121 to rotate, so that the limiting part 5122 at one end of the main body part 5121 is gradually lifted until the limiting part 5122 is separated from the positioning part 511, at which time the connection between the two adjacent shelves 51 is unlocked, and at this time the two shelves 51 can be moved respectively.

[0093] It is worth noting that the ends of several of the shelves 51 are provided with moving parts. When it is necessary to take the boards on the middle shelf 51, the middle shelf 51 can be separated from the adjacent shelves 51, and then the moving parts drive the end shelves 51 to move. Since the middle shelf 51 and the end shelf 51 are still connected to each other, the middle shelf 51 can be driven to move, so that there is enough gap between the middle shelf 51 and the adjacent shelves to allow the taking end of the taking and placing mechanism 2 to pass through to take and place the boards on the middle shelf 51.

[0094] As shown in Figure 5 , the weighing mechanism 3 comprises a bottom plate 31, the bottom end of the bottom plate 31 is provided with a plurality of supporting legs 35, each of the supporting legs 35 is provided with a weighing sensor between the supporting leg 35 and the bottom plate 31, the top end of the bottom plate 31 is provided with a plurality of first supporting rods 32, the plurality of first supporting rods 32 are respectively inclined upwardly and extend to form an inclined loading plate surface, and one side of each of the plurality of first supporting rods 32 is provided with a supporting member for supporting the middle part of the first supporting rod 32.

[0095] Specifically, when the target board is stored in the weighing mechanism 3, the target board is placed obliquely on the top end of the bottom plate 31 and abuts against the loading plate surface formed by the plurality of first supporting rods 32, so that the target board can be stably placed on the top end of the bottom plate 31.

[0096] As shown in Figure 5 , the supporting member is composed of a plurality of second supporting rods 33 and a bracket 34, one end of each of the plurality of second supporting rods 33 is connected to the corresponding first supporting rod 32, the end of each of the plurality of second supporting rods 33 away from the first supporting rod 32 is connected with the bracket 34, and the bottom end of the bracket 34 is fixedly installed on the top end of the bottom plate 31.

[0097] The plurality of first supporting rods 32 are parallel and equally spaced, and the plurality of second supporting rods 33 are parallel and equally spaced.

[0098] Specifically, the plurality of first supporting rods 32 are supported by the plurality of second supporting rods 33 and the bracket 34, so that the loading plate surface has strong carrying capacity to adapt to different types of boards.

[0099] Furthermore, the parallel and equally spaced arrangement of several first support rods 32 and the parallel and equally spaced arrangement of several second support rods 33 allows for equidistant gaps between adjacent first support rods 32 and adjacent second support rods 33, facilitating the material handling end of the material handling mechanism 2 to pass through the gap and place the target plate onto the weighing mechanism 3 when the material handling mechanism 2 is dispensing the plate.

[0100] Preferably, the number of the support legs 35 is three, and the three support legs 35 are distributed in a triangle at the bottom end of the base plate 31. The distribution of the three support legs 35 in a triangle at the bottom end of the base plate 31 can make the weighing mechanism 3 have good stability and is not easy to tip over.

[0101] like Figures 1-8 As shown, an inbound / outbound method applied to the aforementioned sheet metal storage device includes the following steps:

[0102] Initialization settings:

[0103] Obtain the distance h from n known shooting points. n The ratio R of the known board surface length and the corresponding n board surface image pixel lengths. n Obtain the distance h at n known shooting distances. n Given the width of the board surface and the width ratio R′ of the corresponding n board surface image pixels. n where n≥2;

[0104] The nth known shooting distance h n The ratio R of the corresponding nth length n and the nth width ratio R′ n To establish a connection;

[0105] Board material receiving identification:

[0108] S3, the weight M of the target plate placed on the weighing mechanism 3 is obtained through the weighing mechanism 3;

[0109] S4, obtain the mounting distance H1 of the photographing mechanism 1 to the plate surface, match a known shooting distance equal to the mounting distance H1, and obtain the associated length ratio R matched with the known shooting distance n and the width ratio R' n The associated length ratio R n is defined as R 模糊 The associated width ratio R' n is defined as R' 模糊 ;

[0113] S8, determine the shooting distance H2 of the photographing mechanism 1 to the first surface of the target plate according to the final thickness D2, and the calculation formula is H2=H1-D2;

[0123] Further, in order to avoid the influence of the distortion of the camera lens on the imaging effect, the photographed plate surface image needs to be corrected and pretreated after shooting, so that the pixel width and pixel length of the obtained plate surface image are more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of the plate size measurement.

[0124] It is worth noting that obtaining the distance h from n known shooting distances... n The ratio R of the known board surface length and the corresponding n board surface image pixel lengths. n And obtain the shooting distance h at n known points. n Given the width of the board surface and the width ratio R′ of the corresponding n board surface image pixels. n The steps are as follows:
