Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic warehousing in the warehousing industry, and in particular to an automatic pallet removal and warehousing system for an intelligent substrate warehouse and an implementation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In order to reduce operating costs, the substrates are managed uniformly through the substrate three-dimensional warehouse, and the effect of sending materials from the central plate warehouse to various factories in the park can be achieved. This can avoid the disadvantage of each factory independently managing substrate materials, which leads to excessive substrate inventory; at the same time, it realizes automatic transportation of substrate logistics and saves manpower.

[0003] At present, the smart substrate warehouse in the industry basically requires the standardization of pallets carrying substrates, that is, the use of standard pallets with fixed sizes and specifications to reduce the difficulty of designing automated equipment.

[0004] However, since there is no unified standard for the pallets of substrate manufacturers in the industry, each substrate manufacturer uses a variety of pallet specifications. Therefore, the industry's substrate smart warehouse often uses a mother-and-child pallet (non-standard pallet + standard pallet), or uses manpower to move the incoming substrate from the non-standard pallet to the standard pallet so that it can be connected to the automated equipment for transportation, but this method will increase costs or reduce space utilization.

[0005] To this end, if non-standard pallets can be used in smart warehouses, the cost of material transportation can be greatly reduced and space utilization can be improved.

[0006] After the substrates are purchased, they basically need to be manually unpalletized (the substrates are stacked on multiple pallets during transportation) before they can be put into the warehouse. Therefore, how to realize automatic unpalletization is the basis for realizing the entry of substrates into the intelligent warehouse.

[0007] It is not difficult to see that there are still many problems in the prior art, and it is necessary to improve the existing method for automatically removing and storing trays in the intelligent substrate warehouse to overcome the defects of the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0061] The pallet remover device 1 is provided with a vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 and a horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4. The vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 is used to sense the vertical position of the stacked pallets, and the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 is used to sense the horizontal position of the stacked pallets. It should be noted that the functions of the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 and the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 are to determine the specific and exact position of the pallet so that the fork can be accurately inserted into the socket of the pallet, thereby lifting or lowering the pallet.

[0062] It should be noted that the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 is preferably of the encrypted grating type. When the pallet stops moving on the conveyor chain device 2 to be dismantled, the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor installed at a position about 12CM from the center of the middle leg of the pallet (also between the two forks) is just opposite to the socket position of the stacked pallet. At this time, it can identify the positions of all the sockets of the stacked pallets, and then determine the second socket position from the bottom.

[0064] Preferably, the initial positioning method for the pallet when it is conveyed from the front section to the position to be removed is as follows: an intermediate pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 16 is installed at a vertical photoelectric positioning position about 4 cm away from the backward direction of the conveyor chain, and the pallet positioning logic is as follows: ① a new pallet removal task is issued by the industrial computer device; ② the intermediate pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 16 only counts when it senses the passage of the first pallet leg; ③ when the intermediate pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 16 senses the passage of the second pallet leg, it sends a signal to the industrial computer, and the industrial computer issues a stop command to the conveyor chain device 2, and the conveyor chain device 2 slows down and stops within 2 seconds; ④ the initial positioning of the pallet is completed.

[0065] The industrial computer device is used to control the depalletizer device 1 and the conveyor chain device 2. The industrial computer is electrically connected to the depalletizer device 1, the conveyor chain device 2, the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3, the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4, the back photoelectric positioning sensor 5 and the pallet bottom pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 6.

[0068] Preferably, the fork is a telescopic fork, and the telescopic direction of the fork is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor chain device 2 in the same horizontal direction. It should be noted that the telescopic direction is telescopic in the direction of the insertion hole of the pallet, that is, it is telescopic in the insertion hole of the pallet to lift the pallet and adjust the position of the pallet on the conveying component 13, and the main purpose is to facilitate the conveying of the pallet.

It should be noted that the back photoelectric positioning sensor 5 is arranged on the side opposite to the side of the support 12 where the pallet removal device is located (that is, the first side 14), and the back photoelectric positioning sensor 5 here is used to determine whether the pallet exceeds the range of the conveying component 13, so as to avoid causing an impact when conveying the pallet. The pallet bottom pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 6 is arranged on the side of the support 12 where the pallet removal device is located (that is, the second side 15), and the pallet bottom pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 6 here is used to determine whether the pallet exceeds the range of the conveying component 13, that is, to ensure that the pallet completely falls within the conveying component 13, so that the pallet can be efficiently and quickly transported into the warehouse.

[0072] Preferably, the industrial computer device comprises:

It should be noted that this is another installation method compared to the fork described above in this embodiment. The fork described here is fixedly installed on the dismantling component 9, that is, the fork cannot move left and right, but when encountering different positions of the sockets of pallets of different specifications, the system can realize the left and right movement of the pallet by rolling the conveying component 13 left and right, so that the fork matches the position of the socket of the pallet, and then the fork can lift or drop the pallet.

[0076] It should be noted that when the stacked pallets are transported to the unloading position, there is a sensor under the conveyor chain device so that when the chuan-shaped bottom pallet stops, the middle support leg position is at the center of the unloading position, that is, the position between the two forks. The present invention also provides a method for realizing automatic unloading and storage of intelligent substrate warehouses based on the automatic unloading and storage system of intelligent substrate warehouses, including:

[0077] S1. The vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 determines the height position of the second pallet from the bottom to the top of the stacked pallets, and the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 sends the height position signal to the industrial computer device; it should be noted that, at the beginning, the stacked pallets are stacked in piles, and when a stack of pallets that are not of uniform specifications are placed on the conveying component 13, the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 of the system determines the height position of the second pallet from the bottom to the top of the stacked pallets, and sends the position signal to the industrial computer device.

[0078] S2, the industrial computer device receives and processes the signal sent by S1, transmits the processing result to the pallet remover device 1, and controls the pallet remover device 1 to raise the fork to the height position described in S1;

[0079] S3. The horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 determines whether the pallet blocks the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the fork, and sends the determination signal to the industrial computer device. It should be noted that it determines whether the horizontal position of the second pallet from the bottom to the top matches the position of the fork, and sends the position signal to the industrial computer device.

[0080] S4, the industrial computer device receives the determination signal sent by S3 and processes it, transmits the processing result to the pallet remover device 1, and controls the pallet remover device 1 to move the fork horizontally to the middle of the pallet insertion hole.

[0081] Preferably, S4 includes:

[0082] S41. When the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the first fork 10 is blocked and the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the second fork 11 is not blocked, the first fork 10 is controlled to move toward the second fork 11 until the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensors 4 on the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 are not blocked, that is, the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 are moved left and right to adapt to and match the actual positions of the sockets of pallets of different specifications.

[0083] S42, when the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the first fork 10 is not blocked, and the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the second fork 11 is blocked, the second fork 11 is controlled to move toward the first fork 10 until the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensors 4 on the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 are not blocked, that is, the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 are moved left and right to adapt to and match the actual positions of the sockets of pallets of different specifications. It should be noted that in the cases of S41 and S42, the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3 moves together with the fork to prevent the fork from affecting the positioning of the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3.

[0084] It should be noted that the adjustment method corresponding to the other installation method of the fork described above is as follows, and S4 includes:

[0085] S43. When the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the first fork 10 is blocked and the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the second fork 11 is not blocked, the conveying component 13 in the conveyor chain device 2 is controlled to convey in the direction of the first fork 10 until the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensors 4 on the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 are not blocked, that is, the conveying component 13 is moved in different directions to drive the pallet to move in the horizontal direction, so that the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 can adapt to and match the sockets of the pallet.

[0086] S44. When the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the first fork 10 is not blocked and the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4 on the second fork 11 is blocked, the conveying component 13 in the conveyor chain device 2 is controlled to convey in the direction of the second fork 11 until the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensors 4 on the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 are not blocked, that is, the conveying component 13 moves in different directions, driving the pallet to move in the horizontal direction, so that the first fork 10 and the second fork 11 adapt to and match the sockets of the pallet.

[0088] S6, lower the fork to about 10 cm away from the photoelectric positioning sensor 6 of the pallet leg at the bottom of the pallet, retract the fork toward the pallet remover device 1, and stop when it is sensed by the photoelectric positioning sensor 6 of the pallet leg at the bottom of the pallet. The fork is then extended away from the pallet remover device 1. Preferably, the back photoelectric positioning sensor is judged every 0.5 cm of extension. If the back photoelectric positioning sensor 5 is not sensed, it means that the position of the wooden pallet meets the transportation requirements, and the wooden pallet is normally dropped onto the conveyor chain device 2. It should be noted that the main purpose of setting the step S6 in this embodiment is that when conveying pallets of different specifications, because the specifications of the pallets are different, some pallets may be large and some pallets may be small, so one edge of the pallet should be in the same position as much as possible, which can facilitate warehousing. By adjusting the telescopic direction and telescopic distance of the fork, it can be achieved that when pallets of different specifications are on the conveying component 13, one edge of each pallet can be in the same position.

[0089] S7, looping the steps S1-S6 until all the stacked wooden pallets are removed.

[0090] The present invention can conveniently and flexibly insert and remove pallets of different heights and different horizontal positions by providing a disassembly component 9 that can move up and down in the vertical direction and a fork that can move left and right in the horizontal direction. The actual position of wooden pallets of different specifications can be accurately determined by the combined action of the vertical photoelectric positioning sensor 3, the horizontal photoelectric positioning sensor 4, the back photoelectric positioning sensor 5, the middle pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 16 and the pallet leg photoelectric positioning sensor 6 at the bottom of the pallet. The pallets of different specifications can be transported into the warehouse by using them in conjunction with the conveyor chain device 2. The present invention solves the problem of automatic disassembly caused by stacking wooden pallets of various specifications together, and realizes that after the substrate is unloaded from the truck, it can be directly placed in the corresponding automatic storage port, and then the automatic disassembly and storage can be realized, further promoting the unmanned operation of the intelligent substrate warehouse.
