Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of stacking machines, and particularly relates to an intelligent roadway stacking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The stacking device is a logistics handling equipment used in an automated stereoscopic warehouse, and is mainly used for storing and taking goods in the channel of the warehouse rack. It can carry the goods from the ground or other equipment to the designated position of the rack, or take the goods from the rack to the ground or other equipment, so as to automatically store and take the goods and improve the space utilization and operation efficiency of the warehouse.

[0003] The roadway stacking device can place the goods in the separate storage compartments of the storage rack, so as to avoid the direct stacking of the goods and realize the separate storage and taking of the goods, thereby improving the storage and taking effect of the goods. However, the existing roadway stacking device still has some problems. Although it can realize the separate storage of the goods, it can only store and take a single piece of goods during the storage and taking of the goods, which leads to a long horizontal movement of each single piece of goods when the rack is large and needs a long horizontal movement, which not only reduces the storage and taking efficiency of the equipment, but also affects the stacking effect of the equipment.

[0028] To further understand the invention's content, features, and effects, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The structure of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 12This invention provides an intelligent aisle stacking device, comprising an installation plate 1 fixedly installed above the ground, the installation plate 1 being located on one side of a shelf, a sliding seat 2 slidably installed above the installation plate 1, and an installation mechanism. The installation mechanism includes a first toothed rod 3 and a second toothed rod 4 slidably connected at both ends above and below the sliding seat 2, the second toothed rod 4 being located on both sides of the first toothed rod 3, the first toothed rod 3 including a plurality of mutually slidably connected first toothed rod sections 5, and the second toothed rod 4 including a plurality of mutually slidably connected second toothed rod sections 6. A transport mechanism includes a plurality of storage and retrieval components for picking up and placing goods, the storage and retrieval components being disposed between the first toothed rod 3 and the second toothed rod 4, and a motion drive component for driving the storage and retrieval components to move up and down between the first toothed rod 3 and the second toothed rod 4 being disposed below the storage and retrieval components. A switching mechanism is disposed outside the sliding seat 2, and can drive the transport mechanism to switch positions on both sides of the first toothed rod 3 by controlling the sliding of the first toothed rod sections 5 and the second toothed rod sections 6.

[0031] In use, the space between the second toothed rod 4 on the left side of the first toothed rod 3 and the first toothed rod 3 is designated as the first space, while the space between the second toothed rod 4 on the right side of the first toothed rod 3 and the first toothed rod 3 is designated as the second space. Initially, the transport mechanisms are arranged sequentially within the first space. When goods need to be placed on the shelf, the transfer mechanism pushes the first toothed rod section 5 and the second toothed rod section 6, which are currently at the bottom of the first space, to transfer the transport mechanism inside from the bottom of the first space to the bottom of the second space. Then, the goods are placed above the storage and retrieval components. Before this, the goods information and the required placement location information must be obtained. After the goods are placed, the equipment binds this goods information to the transport mechanism that transported them and monitors the goods' position in real time. The motion drive component then drives the storage and retrieval component to move the goods upwards to the top of the second space. During this process, the switching mechanism resets the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6. After the reset, all transport mechanisms initially located above the transport mechanism will be driven to slide downwards by one unit distance (the length of one rack section). Then, the switching mechanism, the storage and retrieval component, and the motion drive component will repeat the above operation, thereby sequentially changing the position of the transport mechanism and retrieving the goods. At the same time, the goods are arranged from top to bottom in the second space according to the retrieval order. After retrieval, the sliding seat 2 is controlled to slide, thereby sequentially aligning the first space with the corresponding vertical column of the shelf where the goods need to be placed (when retrieving goods, if the number of goods is less than the number of transport mechanisms, ...). Then, all remaining transport mechanisms in the first space will slide laterally into the second space under the drive of the switching mechanism. The transport mechanism carrying goods to be placed in the vertical shelf will then be directly switched laterally into the first space via the switching mechanism. The motion drive component will then move the goods to the corresponding layer and place them into the shelf via the storage and retrieval component. The transport mechanism will then reset and return to the second space along the same path (if there are multiple goods to be placed in the same vertical column, the transport mechanisms will operate sequentially). After the goods are placed, the sliding seat 2 is controlled to slide back to its initial position. Simultaneously, all transport mechanisms in the second space are switched laterally into the first space. This completes one storage operation. When retrieval is required... When loading goods, firstly, all transport mechanisms are moved laterally into the second space. Then, the sliding seat 2 is controlled to slide, aligning the first space with the vertical column of the shelf to be loaded. Next, the transport mechanisms are sequentially and non-repeatingly slid laterally from the second space into the first space to retrieve the goods and reset. Once all goods have been retrieved, the sliding seat 2 is slid back to its initial position. Then, the transport mechanisms in the second space sequentially move from the bottom of the sliding seat 2 into the first space, arranging themselves in sequence. When a transport mechanism is at the bottom of the second space, the goods above it are retrieved. This setup allows for the rapid placement of goods onto the transport mechanisms for temporary storage, effectively avoiding multiple horizontal movements of the sliding seat 2 that could affect the stacking efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, the transport mechanisms operate continuously and sequentially.This allows for a more continuous placement of goods onto the storage components, reducing waiting time and further increasing the equipment's operating rate, thus ensuring efficient operation.

[0032] Furthermore, a first self-locking motor 7 is fixedly connected below the sliding seat 2, and a sliding gear 8 is rotatably connected below the sliding seat 2. The sliding gear 8 is connected to the output end of the first self-locking motor 7. A sliding rack 9 is fixedly connected above the mounting plate 1, and the sliding gear 8 meshes with the sliding rack 9.

[0033] In use, when horizontal movement is required, the first self-locking motor 7 is activated, which drives the sliding gear 8 connected to it to rotate. Since the sliding gear 8 meshes with the sliding rack 9, when the sliding gear 8 rotates, it drives the sliding seat 2 to slide horizontally above the mounting plate 1, thereby transporting the goods to the storage and retrieval position so that the storage and retrieval components can store and retrieve the goods. Through this setting, the horizontal transportation of goods can be achieved by rotating the first self-locking motor 7, thereby achieving a better storage and retrieval effect. At the same time, the self-locking characteristic of the first self-locking motor 7 can make the equipment operation more stable, avoid abnormal movement of the equipment, and thus ensure the safety of the equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, the access component includes a motion plate 10, a fixed rod 11 fixedly connected above the motion plate 10, a sliding rod 12 slidably connected in the middle of the fixed rod 11, a first access motor 13 for driving the sliding rod 12 to slide fixedly connected at one end of the fixed rod 11, an access rod 14 slidably connected in the middle of the sliding rod 12, and a second access motor 15 for driving the access rod 14 to slide fixedly connected at one end of the sliding rod 12. The motion drive component includes a second self-locking motor 16 fixedly connected below the motion plate 10, a rotating gear 17 fixedly connected to the output end of the second self-locking motor 16, teeth provided on both sides of the first rack section 5, and teeth also provided on the side of the second rack section 6 near the first rack section 5. The rotating gear 17 meshes with the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6 respectively.

[0035] In use, when it is necessary to retrieve goods placed on the shelf or to remove goods from the shelf, the first access motor 13 is activated. This motor, via a screw drive (but not limited to), pushes the sliding rod 12 to slide, causing the sliding rod 12 to extend a certain distance relative to the fixed rod 11. Simultaneously, the second access motor 15 is activated, pushing the access rod 14 to slide, causing the access rod 14 to extend a certain distance relative to the sliding rod 12. Goods are then placed on or removed from the access rod 14. Reversing the operation of the first and second access motors 13 and 15 retracts the access rod 14 into the second space. Because the sliding rod 12 is slidably connected to the middle of the fixed rod 11, and the access rod 14 is slidably connected to the middle of the sliding rod 12, reversing the operation of the first and second access motors 13 and 15 respectively drives the sliding rod 12 and the access rod 14 when retrieving or placing goods on the shelf. The lever 14 extends in the opposite direction to the aforementioned extension direction, thereby inserting the storage lever 14 into the shelf. The storage lever 14 is then driven to move up and down slightly, so that when placing goods, the shelf replaces the storage lever 14 to contact the goods, and when retrieving goods, the storage lever 14 replaces the shelf to contact the goods, thus realizing the placement and retrieval of goods (during this process, a slot needs to be reserved above the shelf for the storage lever 14 to move up and down slightly). When the equipment needs to drive the storage lever 14 to move up and down, the second self-locking motor 16 will start, which will drive the rotating gear 17 to rotate. The gear 17, through its meshing with the first gear joint 5 and the second gear joint 6, will drive the storage lever 14 to move up and down, thereby completing the storage and retrieval operation. With this setting, the rotation of the second self-locking motor 16 can realize the up and down transportation of goods. At the same time, by setting the storage lever 14, the storage and retrieval of goods can be automatically realized, thereby effectively improving the storage and retrieval efficiency of the equipment and ensuring the efficient operation of the equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, the shifting mechanism includes several sets of shifting components disposed on both sides of the sliding seat 2. Each shifting component controls the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6 to slide horizontally. One side of each shifting component is provided with a shifting drive component for driving the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6. Each shifting component includes mounting sleeves 18 fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding seat 2. The first rack section 5 is slidably connected to the middle of the mounting sleeve 18, and the second rack section 6 is slidably connected to both ends of the mounting sleeve 18. The middle and both ends of the mounting sleeve 18... Both are equipped with locking components 19 for locking the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6. The shifting drive assembly includes a drive motor 20 fixedly connected to one end of the mounting sleeve 18. A drive screw 21 is rotatably connected inside the mounting sleeve 18. One end of the drive screw 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 20. The first rack section 5 is threadedly connected to the drive screw 21. A first spring 22 is fixedly connected to both sides of the first rack section 5. The end of the first spring 22 away from the first rack section 5 is fixedly connected to the second rack section 6.

[0037] In use, initially, the first spring 22 is stretched, and the locking element 19 on the mounting sleeve 18 (which achieves locking by clamping the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6 with a motor-driven clamping block, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here) locks the first rack section 5 and the second rack sections 6 on both sides. When the moving plate 10 needs to be transferred from the first space to the second space, the locking element 19 closes the lock on the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6. At this time, the second rack sections 6 on both sides of the first rack section 5 will move towards the first rack section 5 under the pull of the first spring 22. Since the moving plate 10 is present in the first space at this time, the first spring 22 will drive the first rack section 5 and the second rack sections 6 on the left and right sides of the first rack section 5 to move towards the first rack section 5. The second rack section 6 on the side stably clamps the moving plate 10 and the rotating gear 17 inside. Then, the drive motor 20 is started, which drives the drive screw 21 to rotate, thereby driving the first rack section 5 to slide the second rack sections 6 on both sides to the right. At the same time, it drives the moving plate 10 between the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6 on its left to move to the right. When the first rack section 5 moves to the initial position of the second rack section 6 originally located on its right, it will form a complete rack with the second rack section 6 on its right. At this time, the second rack section 6 located on the left side of the first rack section 5 moves to the original position of the first rack section 5, and it will form a complete rack with the first rack section 5. Then, the locking member 19 locks the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6 located on its left side. 6. When locked, the second rack section 6, located to the right of the first rack section 5, is pushed into the sliding space reserved at the end of the mounting sleeve 18 for temporary storage. At this time, the moving plate 10 is transferred to the second space, and then the rotating gear 17 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the moving plate 10 to move up and down in the second space. When the moving plate 10 moves a unit distance, the locking member 19 releases the lock on the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6. At this time, the second rack section 6, located to the left of the first rack section 5, is also pulled close to the first rack section 5 by the first spring 22, and then the driving motor 20 reverses, thereby causing the first rack section 5 to move to the left. When the second rack section 6 on the right side moves from the temporary storage position at the end of the mounting sleeve 18 to the initial position, the locking member 19 locks it. The first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6 on the left continue to move to the left until the second rack section 6 on the left is pushed to its initial position. Then, the locking component 19 locks the second rack section 6 on the left. The drive motor 20 then reverses direction, causing the first rack section 5 to move to the right to its initial position. The locking component 19 then locks the first rack section 5. At this point, the device has completed the transfer of the moving plate 10 from the first space to the second space. Transferring the moving plate 10 from the second space to the first space can be achieved simply by reversing the drive of the aforementioned components. This configuration allows for the transfer of the moving plate 10 and the goods carried on it by using the separation and combination of the first rack section 5 and the second rack section 6, effectively improving the horizontal transfer efficiency of the equipment.To ensure higher stacking efficiency, and in the event of a malfunction causing the moving plate 10 to suddenly fall, the system monitors and provides real-time feedback on the position of the moving plate 10. This allows for automatic control of the nearest locking component 19 below the moving plate 10 to release its lock on the first toothed link 5, and to quickly drive the first toothed link 5 to slide below the falling moving plate 10 to intercept it. This prevents the moving plate 10 from falling from an excessive height and causing serious damage to the equipment, thus ensuring safe operation.

[0038] Furthermore, an operating platform 23 is provided on one side of the end of the mounting plate 1. A placement slot is provided above the operating platform 23, and a retrieval slot is provided below the placement slot. An identifier 24 for identifying goods and a controller 25 for controlling the equipment are fixedly connected above the operating platform 23.

[0039] In use, goods need to be placed in the placement slot. Then, the identifier 24 will identify the information of the goods, and the identified information will be transmitted to the controller 25. The controller 25 then controls the access lever 14 to move to the bottom of the second space and extend the access lever 14. The access lever 14 will extend into the retrieval slot, but it will not contact the goods. Then, the second self-locking motor 16 drives the access lever 14 to move upward. During this process, the access lever 14 will slowly contact the bottom surface of the goods and lift the goods upward. When the goods are no longer in the placement slot... Upon contact, the access lever 14 will retract the goods into the second space. Conversely, when goods are removed and need to be placed in the placement slot, after all the access levers 14 that have removed the goods have moved into the second space, the lowest access lever 14 in the second space will extend the goods above it into the placement slot. Then, the access lever 14 will move downwards to place the goods into the placement slot. After the access lever 14 is no longer in contact with the goods, it will be driven to retract and then driven to move into the first space, where it will then be stored. The retrieval lever 14 places the goods into the placement slots in sequence according to the above steps. When retrieval is required, the order of goods to be retrieved can be preset through the controller 25. When the equipment moves to the retrieval position to retrieve goods from the shelf, it will control the retrieval levers 14 at different levels to retrieve goods from the shelf according to the order set by the controller 25. Therefore, when all the goods are retrieved from the shelf, they will be arranged from bottom to top according to the retrieval order set in the controller 25, so that when the retrieved goods are placed on the placement slots, they can completely match the retrieval order set by the controller 25. Through this setting, the information of the goods can be automatically identified. At the same time, the controller 25 performs automated control and optimizes the retrieval method, making the equipment retrieval more orderly. In addition, by setting the placement slots, the equipment can make the retrieval of goods to be placed on the shelf more standardized and regular. The placement slots can also be combined with the conveyor device to realize fully automatic storage and retrieval of goods, thereby further improving the use efficiency of the equipment.

[0040] Working principle of the invention:

[0041] In operation, the area between the second toothed rod 4 to the left of the first toothed rod 3 and the first toothed rod 3 is defined as the first space, while the area between the second toothed rod 4 to the right of the first toothed rod 3 and the first toothed rod 3 is defined as the second space. Initially, the transport mechanisms are arranged sequentially within the first space. When goods need to be placed on the shelf, the transposition mechanism pushes the transport mechanism located at the bottom of the first space—that is, the transport mechanism held by the first toothed rod segment 5 and the second toothed rod segment 6—from the bottom of the first space to the bottom of the second space. Subsequently, the goods are placed above the access component. Before placing the goods, the goods information and the predetermined placement position information need to be obtained. After the goods are placed, the device associates the goods information with the transport mechanism that transported them and tracks the goods' position in real time. The motion drive component then drives the access component to move the goods upwards to the top of the second space, while the transposition mechanism resets the first toothed rod segment 5 and the second toothed rod segment 6. After resetting, all transport mechanisms initially positioned above this transport mechanism will slide down one toothed rod segment length. The switching mechanism, storage and retrieval components, and motion drive components repeat the above process, sequentially moving the positions of the transport mechanisms and retrieving goods, while arranging them from top to bottom in the second space according to the retrieval order. Once retrieval is complete, the sliding seat 2 is controlled to slide, aligning the first space with the vertical column of the shelf where goods need to be placed. During retrieval, if the number of goods is less than the number of transport mechanisms, all remaining transport mechanisms in the first space will slide laterally into the second space under the drive of the switching mechanism. Then, the transport mechanism carrying goods will be directly transferred laterally back to the first space via the switching mechanism. The motion drive component then moves the goods to the corresponding layer and places them into the shelf via the storage and retrieval components. Afterward, the transport mechanism will reset and return to the second space along its original path. If there are multiple goods to be placed in the same vertical column, each transport mechanism will operate sequentially. Once the goods are placed, the sliding seat 2 is controlled to slide back to its initial position, and simultaneously, all transport mechanisms in the second space are transferred laterally back to the first space. Thus, the equipment completes one storage operation. When goods need to be retrieved, all transport mechanisms are first moved laterally into the second space. Then, the sliding seat 2 is controlled to slide, aligning the first space with the vertical column of the shelf to be retrieved. Next, the transport mechanisms are sequentially and non-repetitively slid laterally from the second space into the first space to retrieve the goods and reset. Once all goods have been retrieved, the sliding seat 2 is slid back to its initial position, and the transport mechanisms in the second space are sequentially moved from the bottom of the sliding seat 2 into the first space. When a transport mechanism is at the bottom of the second space, the goods above it are retrieved. This setup allows goods to be quickly and sequentially placed onto the transport mechanisms for temporary storage, effectively avoiding the impact of multiple horizontal movements of the sliding seat 2 on the stacking efficiency of the equipment. Simultaneously, the sequential and continuous operation of each transport mechanism allows for more continuous placement of goods onto the storage components, reducing waiting time and further improving the equipment's operating speed, ensuring efficient operation.
