Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage cabinet conveying and positioning, and in particular to a fully automatic storage cabinet gear and incremental rotary encoder closed-loop control positioning device. Background Art

[0002] Fully automatic storage cabinets are key equipment in modern warehousing, enabling automated warehouse operations. They are mainly divided into vertical circulation cabinets, vertical lifting cabinets, and horizontal circulation cabinets.

[0003] Application number CN202121768040.2 discloses a closed-loop control positioning device for storage cabinet gears and incremental rotary encoders, comprising a load-bearing component and a motor. The motor is fixedly mounted above the load-bearing component, a driving gear is mounted at the bottom of the motor, and a driven gear meshing with the driving gear is fixedly mounted inside the load-bearing component. An encoder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the driven gear through a flat plate, and a closed-loop motor encoder is mounted near the top of the motor. The encoder and closed-loop motor encoder respectively measure the speed data of the driven gear and the driving gear. After comparison, the precise position of the two gears can be obtained, achieving bidirectional positioning, and accurately locating the fault location in a timely manner, facilitating maintenance.

[0004] Traditional cabinet positioning systems rely on closed-loop control between motors and encoders, maintaining position through motor self-locking. However, over long periods of operation, motor self-locking can easily lead to positioning errors due to gear wear, current fluctuations, or mechanical backlash. Continuous self-locking also consumes a lot of energy and causes significant motor heat generation. Furthermore, the horizontal transport distance of goods is limited by the mechanical structure, making it difficult to adapt to deep cabinets. Summary of the Invention

This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Specifically, the transverse feed system 200 includes a transverse motor group 210, a transverse displacement sensor 220 pointing to the top surface of the transverse guide rod 100, and a transverse positioning rod 240 plugged into the top of the transverse guide rod 100. The transverse displacement sensor 220 is used to measure the transverse displacement and trigger the transverse positioning rod 240 to position. The transverse motor group 210 consists of a top plate, a motor, and a gear. An incremental rotary encoder is installed at the end of the motor. The motor and the gear are connected through a reduction gear box, and the gear is meshed with a rack on the rear side of the top surface of the transverse guide rod 100. The incremental rotary encoder monitors the number of rotations of the motor gear to perform preliminary positioning, triggering the motor to self-lock. Combined with the displacement measured by the transverse displacement sensor 220, bidirectional positioning is achieved, and the goods are transported horizontally to the system's preset target position, such as the access point of a storage cabinet.

[0045] A number of transverse positioning grooves 101 are provided at equal intervals on the rear side of the top surface of the transverse guide rod 100, and the transverse positioning rod 240 is plugged into and matched with the transverse positioning grooves 101; each transverse positioning groove 101 corresponds to a row of access points, and the transverse positioning rod 240 is triggered by the transverse displacement sensor 220 to be positioned in the transverse positioning groove 101 outside a certain access point, realizing dual fixation from "soft positioning" relying on motor control to "hard locking" relying on mechanical fixation, reducing the energy consumption of motor self-locking and preventing the problem of positioning deviation caused by long-term pressure on the motor self-locking mechanism, and significantly improving the reliability and life of the storage cabinet positioning system.

[0046] Furthermore, the top plate is located on the top surface of the transverse guide rod 100, and a transverse slide 120 is welded to the front end of the top plate and is slidably engaged with the transverse guide rod 100. The transverse slides 120 are rotatably embedded with rollers 121 at the corners of the side of the transverse guide rod 100. The upper and lower layers of rollers 121 clamp the upper and lower convex strips of the transverse guide rod 100 and roll and move horizontally. The transverse slide 120, the top plate and the motor gear roll on the transverse guide rod 100 to form a stable transverse motion platform.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the longitudinal feeding system 300 includes a storage box 310, a bracket 330 for supporting the sliding of the storage box 310, and a longitudinal motor group 114 suspended below the bracket 330, which is used to drive the bracket 330 to move vertically. A longitudinal positioning rod 115 is provided on one side of the longitudinal motor group 114 and is positioned and plugged with the longitudinal guide rod 110. A longitudinal displacement sensor 360 is installed at the rear end of the bracket 330 and close to the longitudinal guide rod 110 for measuring the vertical displacement and triggering the positioning of the longitudinal positioning rod 115; the longitudinal motor group 114 consists of a top plate, a motor, and a gear. An incremental rotary encoder is installed at the end of this motor. The motor and the gear are connected through a reduction gear box, and this gear is engaged with the rack at the front side of the longitudinal guide rod 110 to drive the storage box 310 to move up and down; the transverse slide 120 is upright on the front side of the transverse guide rod 100 and is fixedly connected to the longitudinal guide rod 110; thereby driving the longitudinal guide rod 110 to move horizontally.

[0048] The incremental rotary encoder monitors the number of rotations of the motor gear for preliminary positioning, triggering the motor to self-lock. Combined with the displacement measured by the longitudinal displacement sensor 360, bidirectional positioning is achieved, and the goods are transported longitudinally to the system's preset target position, such as the access point of a storage cabinet.

[0049] Furthermore, the left and right sides of the longitudinal guide rod 110 are fixedly connected with a feed rod 111, and the side walls of the feed rod 111 are evenly spaced with a plurality of longitudinal positioning grooves 112 corresponding to a row of access point positions; the longitudinal positioning rod 115 is correspondingly plugged into the longitudinal positioning groove 112; the bottom surface of the bracket 330 is vertically welded with a longitudinal slide 113 for guiding the extension and contraction of the longitudinal positioning rod 115, the longitudinal positioning rod 115 passes through the longitudinal slide 113, and the longitudinal slide 113 is rotatably embedded with rollers 121 at the corners of the side walls of the longitudinal guide rod 110. Each pair of rollers 121 on the left and right sides is clamped and rolled with the feed rod 111, so that the longitudinal motor group 114 is stably installed between the pair of longitudinal slides 113 and jointly supports the vertical movement of the storage box 310;

[0050] A servo electric cylinder 230 is coaxially mounted on one end of the transverse positioning rod 240 and the longitudinal positioning rod 115 to drive the transverse positioning rod 240 and the longitudinal positioning rod 115 to move in telescopic manner; the two servo electric cylinders 230 are fixedly connected to the top plate and the longitudinal slide 113 by bolts.

[0051] In addition, in order to extend the storage box 310 horizontally and deliver the goods into the storage cabinet, an active frame 320 is slidably engaged at the bottom of the storage box 310. The active frame 320 is slidably engaged within the top of the bracket 330. A pair of pull ropes 340 are wound around the front and rear ends of the active frame 320, and the pair of pull ropes 340 are arranged symmetrically in opposite directions. The pull ropes 340 are made of steel strands to improve their tensile strength and durability. A servo motor 350 is installed at the bottom front end of the bracket 330 to drive the active frame 320 to move horizontally. An incremental rotary encoder is installed at the end of the servo motor 350. Lateral displacement sensors 220 are embedded in the front and rear end side walls of the bracket 330 to measure the displacement of the active frame 320 and trigger the servo motor 350 to self-lock.

[0052] The horizontal displacement of the cargo box 310 is determined bidirectionally by the incremental rotary encoder and the lateral displacement sensor 220 , so that the cargo can be accurately delivered to the storage cabinet.

[0053] Furthermore, a sprocket is coaxially sleeved at the output shaft end of the servo motor 350, and a sprocket is installed at the rear end of the bracket 330. A chain 351 is meshed between the two sprockets, and clamping columns 352 are provided at the side ends of two adjacent rotating pins of the chain 351. Push rods 321 are inserted into the bottom surfaces of the front and rear ends of the active frame 320, and the two clamping columns 352 are engaged with the lower half of the push rods 321 for transmission; the servo motor 350 is started to drive the chain 351 to circulate, and the push rod 321 is clamped by a pair of clamping columns 352 to drive the active frame 320 to move synchronously, and then the pull rope 340 pulls the storage box 310 to translate relative to the bracket 330 to transport the goods.

[0054] Specifically, a pair of ring blocks 322 are embedded at the front and rear ends of the active frame 320 and at different sides, and a pulley 342 is rotatably connected between each pair of ring blocks 322. The pull rope 340 is correspondingly sleeved on the pulley 342, and the upper and lower ends of the pull rope 340 are tightly sleeved with a pull block 341. The pull block 341 located at the top is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage box 310, and the pull block 341 located at the bottom is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the active frame 320; when the servo motor 350 is forward and reverse, it can drive the active frame 320 to move forward or backward, and then the pull rope 340 corresponding to the pulley 342 at the front or rear position slides to drive the storage box 310 to move synchronously; for example, when the active frame 320 moves forward, the upper layer of the pull rope 340 is pushed shorter by the front pulley 342, and the storage box 310 is pulled forward to achieve a longer conveying distance.

[0055] Furthermore, a slide rod 311 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom of the storage box 310, and a slide rod 311 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the bracket 330. The outer walls of both sides of the active frame 320 are fixedly connected with sliding rods 323 in an upper and lower manner. The sliding rod 323 located above is slidably plugged into the slide rod 311 on the storage box 310, and the sliding rod 323 located below is slidably plugged into the slide rod 311 on the bracket 330, so that the storage box 310 and the active frame 320 slide smoothly relative to each other under the support of the bracket 330.

[0056] The fully automatic storage cabinet gear and incremental rotary encoder closed-loop control positioning device of the present invention includes three stages of lateral, longitudinal and horizontal positioning and conveying during operation:

[0057] During lateral positioning and lifting, the lateral motor group 210 is activated, and the gear meshes with the rack on the top surface of the lateral guide rod 100 to drive the longitudinal guide rod 110 to move horizontally; the incremental rotary encoder monitors the number of rotations of the motor gear, and triggers the motor self-locking after preliminary positioning near the target access point;

[0058] The lateral displacement sensor 220 detects the actual displacement in real time. If the error is within the threshold, the servo cylinder 230 is triggered to push the lateral positioning rod 240 into the corresponding lateral positioning slot 101, mechanically locking the position;

[0059] The longitudinal guide rod 110, along with the bracket 330 and storage box 310, achieves precise lateral positioning. During longitudinal positioning and lifting, the drive gear of the longitudinal motor assembly 114 engages the side rack of the longitudinal guide rod 110, driving the bracket 330 and storage box 310 to move vertically. After initial positioning, the encoder self-locks. The longitudinal displacement sensor 360 detects the vertical displacement, triggering the servo cylinder 230 to push the longitudinal positioning rod 115 into the longitudinal positioning slot 112, locking the vertical position. At this point, the storage box 310 reaches the position corresponding to the storage cabinet access point.

[0060] When transporting goods horizontally, the servo motor 350 is activated, driving the clamping column 352 through the sprocket chain 351, which drives the push rod 321 of the active frame 320 to move horizontally. The active frame 320 is linked to the pulley 342 via the pull rope 340, pulling the storage box 310 to extend horizontally along the slide rod 311. The encoder and the lateral displacement sensor 220 bidirectionally verify the displacement of the storage box 310, triggering the motor to self-lock, ensuring that the goods are accurately delivered to the interior of the storage cabinet.
