Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a stereoscopic warehouse, in particular to a mobile high-altitude maintenance ladder for an automatic stereoscopic warehouse lane. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the urgent demand of the logistics industry for efficient use of storage space, large-scale stereoscopic warehouses have been growing. In large-scale stereoscopic warehouses, stacker walking lanes are set up, and grid shelves are set on both sides of the lanes. The height of the grid shelves is about tens of meters. In the operation and maintenance of the stereoscopic warehouse, maintenance personnel are often required to enter the high-altitude grid shelves to maintain the equipment on the high cargo positions. In order to meet the maintenance requirements, the existing technology generally adopts fixed maintenance ladders or movable ladders designed in the lanes. Due to the narrow lane space between the shelves and the need to meet the walking requirements of the stacker, the fixed maintenance ladder needs to occupy a certain space. Generally, stereoscopic warehouses rarely use this method. The movable ladder has the problem of difficult movement and positioning, and requires two people to cooperate in operation and coordination, and there are many safety hazards during work. How to develop a maintenance ladder that can be easily moved, safe and reliable to adapt to the daily maintenance work of large stereoscopic warehouses has become an urgent problem to be solved on site.

The static area ceiling rail and the ladder moving ceiling rail are arranged at an obtuse angle, and the static area ceiling rail and the ladder moving ceiling rail are connected together.

[0009] A working method of a mobile high-altitude maintenance ladder mechanism for an automatic three-dimensional warehouse lane. When a stacker leaves the stacker walking lane and a high-altitude cargo equipment on an adjacent shelf of the three-dimensional warehouse needs to be repaired, the ladder mechanism works in the following way: The first step is to move the ladder to the stacker walking lane. The ladder is hoisted and carried by the aerial walking trolley and moves toward the high-altitude cargo position for pre-inspection. During the movement, the spring connects the top step beam of the ladder to the bottom surface of the trolley longitudinal beam. At this time, the top positioning rack of the ladder is directly above the top longitudinal rack. The ladder can move freely along the longitudinal moving rail of the ladder under the hoisting of the aerial walking trolley. Step 2: When the ladder moves to the pre-maintenance high-altitude cargo position, the aerial trolley stops moving; the maintenance personnel climb up the ladder, and under the downward force of the maintenance personnel's weight, the top step beam compresses the spring downward, and the spring begins to shrink with the nut as the support point, causing the entire ladder to move downward, and the upward inverted L-shaped hanger connected to the upper end of the ladder also moves downward synchronously, causing the ladder top positioning rack on the upward inverted L-shaped hanger to drop to the top longitudinal rack, and the ladder top positioning rack is meshed with the top longitudinal rack, which plays a role in fixing the top of the ladder.

[0010] When the maintenance personnel climb up the vertical ladder, the lower L-shaped hanger also moves downward as the entire ladder moves downward, and the positioning rack at the bottom of the ladder drops to the longitudinal rack on the ground, and the positioning rack at the bottom of the ladder meshes with the longitudinal rack on the ground, thereby fixing the bottom of the ladder.

[0011] The maintenance personnel climb up the ladder that is locked and fixed at the top and bottom to the maintenance cargo position to perform equipment maintenance. When the maintenance is completed, the maintenance personnel go down the ladder to the bottom of the ladder and leave the ladder. Since the downward weight of the human body acting on the ladder is released, the spring bounces upward and raises the step beam at the top of the ladder. At this time, the positioning rack at the top of the ladder rises upward synchronously, so that the meshing of the top positioning rack of the ladder and the top longitudinal rack is released. At the same time, the positioning rack at the bottom of the ladder is also raised synchronously, so that the meshing of the bottom positioning rack of the ladder and the longitudinal rack on the ground is also released. The ladder moves freely to the next maintenance station under the suspension and load of the aerial walking trolley.

[0012] The invention arranges the longitudinal moving overhead rail of the ladder at one side of the overhead rail of the stacker, and arranges the longitudinal U-shaped groove limiting ground rail at one side of the ground rail of the stacker. The two rails will not hinder the normal operation of the stacker, and the upright ladder is hoisted by the aerial walking trolley, so that the ladder can move freely along the lane, and a pair of hanging bolts and springs are cleverly used to flexibly connect the aerial walking trolley with the step crossbeam at the top of the ladder, and the weight of the ladder climber is used to achieve locking and fixing of the upper and lower ends of the ladder, thereby ensuring the stability of the ladder; when no maintenance work is done on a daily basis, the ladder can be pushed to the static area at the end of the shelf, which does not affect the operation of equipment in the lane, saves space, is simple in equipment, and saves the manufacturing cost of the maintenance platform; when maintenance climbing is required, it is manually pushed to the walking lane of the stacker, which is convenient and quick. Before climbing, the maintenance personnel can first connect the safety belt with the anti-fall device hook to prevent accidental personnel falling during climbing, thereby ensuring the work safety of the personnel.

[0018] A working method of a mobile high-altitude maintenance ladder mechanism for an automatic stereoscopic warehouse roadway. When the stacker leaves the stacker traveling roadway 2 and a high-altitude goods position device on a certain adjacent shelf 1 of the stereoscopic warehouse needs to be repaired, the ladder mechanism works according to the following method: First step: Move the ladder 11 into the stacker traveling roadway 2. Under the suspension and load-bearing of the aerial traveling trolley 5 in the air, the ladder 11 moves towards the high-altitude goods position to be repaired. During the movement, the spring 22 presses the top step cross beam 18 of the ladder 11 against the bottom surface of the trolley longitudinal beam 10. At this time, the ladder top positioning rack 16 is directly above the top longitudinal rack 15. Under the suspension of the aerial traveling trolley 5 in the air, the ladder 11 can move freely along the ladder longitudinal moving overhead track 4. Second step: When the ladder 11 moves to the high-altitude goods position to be repaired, the aerial traveling trolley 5 stops moving; The maintenance personnel climb onto the ladder 11. Under the downward action of the weight of the maintenance personnel, the top step cross beam 18 compresses the spring 22 downward. The spring 22 starts to contract with the nut 21 as the support point, causing the entire ladder 11 to move downward. The upper inverted L-shaped hanging bracket 6 connected to the upper end of the ladder 11 also moves downward synchronously, so that the ladder top positioning rack 16 on the upper inverted L-shaped hanging bracket 6 descends onto the top longitudinal rack 15, and moreover, the ladder top positioning rack 16 meshes with the top longitudinal rack 15, playing a role in fixing the top of the ladder 11.

[0019] When the maintenance personnel climb up the vertically arranged ladder 11, the lower L-shaped hanger 8 also moves downward with the downward movement of the entire ladder 11, and the positioning rack 24 at the bottom of the ladder drops to the ground longitudinal rack 9, and the positioning rack 24 at the bottom of the ladder is meshed with the ground longitudinal rack 9, thereby fixing the bottom of the ladder 11.

[0020] The maintenance personnel climb up the ladder 11 which is locked and fixed at the top and bottom to the maintenance cargo position to carry out equipment maintenance. When the maintenance is completed, the maintenance personnel go down the ladder to the bottom of the ladder and leave the ladder 11. Since the downward weight of the human body acting on the ladder 11 is released, the spring 22 bounces upward, and the step beam 18 at the uppermost end of the ladder 11 is raised. At this time, the top positioning rack 16 of the ladder is simultaneously raised upward, so that the meshing of the top positioning rack 16 of the ladder and the top longitudinal rack 15 is released. At the same time, the bottom positioning rack 24 of the ladder is also raised synchronously, so that the meshing of the bottom positioning rack 24 of the ladder and the ground longitudinal rack 9 is also released. The ladder 11 is freely moved to the next maintenance station under the suspension and load of the aerial walking trolley 5.

[0021] A static area 12 is arranged outside the shelf on one side outside the stacker walking lane 2, and a static area ceiling rail 13 is arranged at the top of the static area 12. The static area ceiling rail 13 and the ladder moving ceiling rail 4 are arranged at an obtuse angle, so that the ladder 11 will not hinder the normal operation of the stacker in the stacker walking lane 2.
