Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent equipment for window frame manufacturing, in particular to a bar storage library and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Most of the existing window frame bar storage libraries adopt ordinary storage shelves, placing the bars that can form the same window frame on the same shelf, and the loading and unloading are completed manually. And the kit library needs to perform frequent loading and unloading operations. Therefore, the existing storage library has the disadvantages of high labor intensity and low working efficiency, which is not conducive to quickly accessing bars. Therefore, it is urgent to design a storage library to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bar storage library and a working method thereof to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0004] The solution of the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows: In a first aspect, a bar storage library provided by the present application includes: A frame; A conveying rack, which is provided with a plurality of conveying rollers arranged at intervals, and the feeding conveying direction of the plurality of conveying rollers is the first direction; A material supporting rack, which is installed on the frame, the material supporting rack can move up and down on the frame, and a plurality of material supporting rods are arranged at intervals on the material supporting rack along the first direction. Taking the horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction as the second direction, the material supporting rods can slide along the second direction on the material supporting rack. The conveying rack can move up and down on the material supporting rack, and the conveying rack can move to a height where the conveying rollers are higher or lower than the height where the material supporting rods are located; A storage rack, which is located on the side of the frame along the second direction, and a plurality of groups of storage rods are arranged vertically on the storage rack. The plurality of storage rods in each group extend along the second direction, and a bearing space is formed above each of the storage rods in the same group. When the material supporting rack moves to the side of any group of the storage rods, the material supporting rods can move into or out of the bearing space.

[0005] The technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: Before storing materials, first move the material supporting frame up and down along the machine frame to the bottom of the machine frame, and then raise the conveying frame to a position higher than the material supporting rod. At this time, the machine frame is in the feeding state, and rods that can form the same window frame can be placed on the conveying rollers manually or by automated equipment. The rods enter the machine frame in a state extending along the first direction, and then the conveying rollers rotate to transport the rods to the end along the first direction inside the machine frame. After that, the material supporting frame rises until the entire material supporting frame rises to the position of the target material storage rod group, and at this time, the height of the material supporting rod is greater than or equal to the maximum height of the material storage rod group. Subsequently, the material supporting rod moves, and the rod supported above the material supporting rod is synchronously moved into the bearing space. Then the material supporting frame descends to lower the material supporting rod, and the material supporting rod passes through between the material storage rods, so that the rod remains in the bearing space, completing the storage of the rod. When taking materials, the material supporting frame rises to one side of the bearing space where the target rod is located. At this time, the material supporting rod moves along the second direction to the lower part of the material storage rod of this bearing space. The material supporting frame continues to rise to lift the target rod. Then the material supporting rod retracts onto the material supporting frame, driving one or more target rods to exit from a bearing space at the same time. Finally, the material supporting frame moves to the discharging height and is transported to a predetermined position through the conveying rollers, and the next process is transported manually or by automated equipment. In summary, this equipment can automatically store multiple rods used to form the same window frame into the same storage space, reducing manual operation, accelerating the speed of material access and storage, and transferring and storing the rods through the mutually perpendicular material supporting rods and rods, as well as the mutually perpendicular material storage rods and rods. The material supporting rod and the material storage rod avoid each other, reducing the interference between the two when transferring the rod and improving the utilization rate of the factory building space by the equipment.

[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the gap between two adjacent material supporting rods gradually increases along the first direction, and the length of the gap between two adjacent material supporting rods is less than the minimum length of the rods used in combination with the rod storage library.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the shorter rod completely enters the machine frame, the material supporting rod rises. At this time, multiple material supporting rods with shorter intervals can form good support and transfer for the short rods that have completely entered the machine frame, reducing the situation where the rod drops because it is not supported by two or more material supporting rods simultaneously during the transfer process. When transporting longer rods, the material supporting rods with longer or shorter intervals on the material supporting frame can support the rods. Therefore, reducing the number of material supporting rods at the end along the first direction on the material supporting frame and increasing the gap between two adjacent material supporting rods can reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the rod storage library without reducing the transfer effect of the rods, improving economic benefits.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the gap between two adjacent stock rods in the same group gradually increases in the first direction, and the length of the gap between two adjacent stock rods is less than the minimum length of the rod.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rod is transferred to the stock rod by the supporting rod after being transported to the end of the rack in the first direction, if a shorter rod is transported, the adjacent spacing is shorter, so that a larger number of stock rods will stably support the short rod at this position, reducing the risk of the short rod falling. If a longer rod is transported, for the long rod transferred to the stock bin, one end is supported by a larger number of stock rods with a smaller spacing, and the other end is supported by a smaller number of stock rods with a larger spacing. Without reducing the supporting effect on the rod, by reducing the number of stock rods arranged, the cost of the rod stock bin is reduced, and the economic benefit is improved.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a driving assembly is arranged on the supporting frame. The driving assembly includes a transmission shaft and a plurality of gears. The transmission shaft can rotate and be positioned on the supporting frame. A plurality of the gears are all sleeved on the transmission shaft and correspond to the plurality of supporting rods one by one. A plurality of tooth blocks are arranged on the supporting rod, and the tooth blocks can be engaged with the gears corresponding to the supporting rod.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the transmission shaft and the plurality of gears, each supporting rod on the supporting frame can be driven to move synchronously, thereby improving the change of the posture of the rod when it is transferred to the storage rack, and reducing the negative impact generated when different parts of the rod move out of sync.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, storage racks are arranged on both sides of the rack in the first direction, and the supporting rod can move to the bearing space of any one of the storage racks.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the same storage racks are arranged on both sides of the rack, and the supporting rod can move to the two storage racks, so that the rod storage bin can store more sets of rods. At the same time, it can cooperate with the driving assembly of the gear and tooth block. Compared with the one-way linear driving structure such as a cylinder, the driving structure of the gear and tooth block can enable the supporting rod to move relative to the driving component in two opposite directions. Just install the gear on the side of the moving direction of the supporting rod, and the supporting rod can be moved relative to the gear in two directions and enter the storage rack.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, transmission shafts are arranged on both sides of the supporting frame in the first direction, and the gears corresponding to the plurality of supporting rods one by one are sleeved on each transmission shaft, and the tooth blocks on the supporting rod can be engaged with the corresponding gears.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, two transmission shafts are arranged at the ends of the material supporting frame, so that two gears drive the material supporting rod separately at two opposite ends, and each gear can mesh with the tooth block at the end position of the material supporting rod in the opposite direction of the current moving direction, thereby driving the material supporting rod to move into the storage rack to the maximum extent, and improving the stability of the rod moving completely into the storage rack along with the material supporting rod.

[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, one ends of multiple storage rods are connected to the storage rack, and the other ends extend towards the machine frame and are inclined upwards.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material supporting rod drives the rod to cross the inclined end of the storage rod, the material supporting frame descends so that the rod is abutted by the inclined storage rod and then falls into the bearing space. First, at this time, the inclined storage rod can block the rod, and compared with the horizontally extending storage rod, the formed bearing space is more stable and the rod is less likely to fall. Second, the inclined storage rod forms a bearing space with a gradually increasing gap from bottom to top, so that the rod that first falls into the bearing space will automatically fall to the bottom under the action of gravity, preventing the rods from stacking at the bearing space and making the rod that finally falls on the storage rack fall from the bearing space. Third, due to the inclination of the storage rod, the bearing space extends upwards, and multiple bearing spaces are arranged in the vertical direction. Without reducing the storage capacity of a single bearing space, the utilization rate of each bearing space is increased. Fourth, when the material supporting rod starts to move downwards so that the rod abuts against the storage rod, the inclined storage rod can contact the rod at the same position of the material supporting rod more quickly, so that the rod can start to fall into the supporting space earlier, accelerating the transfer speed of the rod, reducing the required time, and improving the overall efficiency of the rod storage library.

[0018] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, it further includes a housing. The machine frame and the storage rack are both installed in the housing. An access opening is provided on the housing. The access opening faces the end of the machine frame in the opposite direction of the first direction. The material supporting frame can move to face the access opening, and the width of the access opening is smaller than the width of the material supporting rod.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the rod when entering the conveyor roller is restricted by the access opening on the housing, so that after the conveyor frame descends, the material supporting rod can accurately abut against the rod in the middle position, thereby stably transferring the rod from the material supporting rod to the storage rod, and reducing the transfer failure caused by the rod not falling on the material supporting rod after the conveyor frame descends.

[0020] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a photoelectric sensor is provided above the end of the material supporting frame in the opposite direction of the first direction of the conveying frame. When the photoelectric sensor is blocked, the conveying frame moves downward.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rod passes through the photoelectric sensor, the laser emitted by the photoelectric sensor is blocked, causing the photoelectric sensor to receive relevant signals, thereby driving the conveying frame to move downward and changing to the material supporting rod to push the rod.

[0022] In a second aspect, the present application provides a working method, which is applied to a rod storage bin provided in the first aspect. The working method includes: S1: When storing materials, first raise the conveying frame above the material supporting frame, and then load the rod onto the conveying roller until the rod completely enters the machine frame; S2: The conveying frame descends until the rod lands on the material supporting rod; S3: The material supporting rod moves in a direction away from the material supporting frame until the rod enters the bearing space, and then the entire material supporting frame descends S4: When taking materials, the material supporting frame moves to a height where the material supporting rod is lower than the height of the storage rod where the target rod abuts; S5: The material supporting rod moves in a direction away from the material supporting frame until the material supporting rod is located below the target rod; S6: The entire material supporting frame rises until the material supporting rod abuts against the target rod and the target rod is separated from the storage rod; S7: The material supporting rod moves in a direction close to the material supporting frame, driving the target rod to move above the material supporting frame; S8: The conveying frame rises to a height where the conveying roller is higher than the height of the material supporting rod, and then the entire material supporting frame moves to the output end of the machine frame.

[0023] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: Through the lifting cooperation between the material supporting rod and the conveying roller, this working method cleverly realizes the movement of the rod in three dimensions, enabling the rod to be stably transported from the input port of the machine frame to the storage rack, reducing the workload of workers for handling individual cut rods. Workers only need to put the cut aluminum profile rods into the machine frame manually or by automated equipment, greatly reducing the workload of workers for handling and improving the stability of transporting the rod to the storage rack.

[0030] In the production process of door and window frames, in order to facilitate the assembly of the rods that make up the same window frame or door frame, after using a cutting device to cut the profiles into appropriate lengths, the rods of the same frame are placed in a complete set storage library. The existing complete set storage library includes a main frame body and a plurality of bottom plates fixed on the main frame body. Above the bottom plates, a loading space for placing the rods within the same set of frames is formed. During subsequent assembly operations, the rods of the entire set of frames are directly taken out from this complete set storage library, and then directly assembled and fixed into shape. However, the existing in-warehousing and out-warehousing of the rods are both manual operations, and it is difficult to take out all the rods from the storage library at one time, which is not conducive to the rapid manufacturing of the frames.

[0031] Therefore, this application provides a rod storage library and a working method.

[0032] In the first aspect, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , this application provides a rod storage library, which includes a frame 1, a transfer frame 2, a material supporting frame 3, a storage frame 4 and a housing 5; Specifically, a plurality of transfer rollers 21 are arranged on the transfer frame 2. The transfer rollers 21 are equally spaced on the transfer frame 2. Taking the feeding transfer direction of the plurality of transfer rollers 21 as the first direction and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction as the second direction, the length direction of the transfer rollers 21 is parallel to the second direction. A transfer driving member 22 for driving the plurality of transfer rollers 21 to rotate on the transfer frame 2 is arranged on the transfer frame 2; The material supporting frame 3 is slidably installed on the frame 1 in the up and down direction. A plurality of material supporting rods 31 are arranged at intervals along the first direction on the material supporting frame 3. Each of the material supporting rods 31 extends along a direction parallel to the second direction. The material supporting rods 31 can slide along the second direction on the material supporting frame 3. The transfer frame 2 can move in the up and down direction on the material supporting frame 3. The transfer frame 2 can move to a height where the transfer rollers 21 are higher or lower than the height where the material supporting rods 31 are located. Specifically, the transfer frame 2 itself is located below the material supporting frame 3, and a transfer frame lifting mechanism is used to drive the transfer frame 2 to move on the material supporting frame 3. A protruding bracket is arranged on the transfer frame 2. The transfer rollers 21 are installed on the bracket and are arranged in a mutually avoiding position with the material supporting rods 31, so that the transfer rollers 21 and the bracket can extend from between the material supporting rods 31 to a height where the transfer rollers 21 are higher than the height where the material supporting rods 31 are located; The storage frame 4 is located on the side of the frame 1 along the second direction. A plurality of groups of storage rods 41 are arranged in the up and down direction on the storage frame 4. The multiple storage rods 41 in each group extend along the second direction, that is, each storage rod 41 extends towards the direction close to the frame 1. A loading space is formed above each of the storage rods 41 in the same group. When the material supporting frame 3 moves to the side of any group of storage rods 41, the material supporting rods 31 can move to extend into or withdraw from the loading space; The outer shell 5 is placed outside the stock rack 4 and the frame 1, completely wrapping the entire frame 1 and the stock rack 4. An access opening 51 is provided on the outer shell 5, and the access opening 51 faces the end of the frame 1 in the opposite direction of the first direction. The material supporting rack 3 can be moved to face the access opening 51, so as to facilitate putting the rods transferred from the previous process into the stock bin.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, before storing materials, first move the material supporting rack 3 up and down on the frame 1 to the bottom of the frame 1, and the material supporting rack 3 faces the access opening 51 at the end of the outer shell 5 in the opposite direction of the first direction. Then the conveying rack 2 rises to a position higher than the material supporting rod 31. At this time, the frame 1 is in the loading state, and rods that can form the same window frame can be placed on the conveying roller 21 manually or by an automated device. The rods enter the frame 1 in a state extending along the first direction, and then the conveying roller 21 rotates to transport the rods to the end of the frame 1 along the first direction inside. After that, the material supporting rack 3 rises until the entire material supporting rack 3 rises to the position of the target stock rod 41 group, and at this time, the height of the material supporting rod 31 is greater than or equal to the maximum height of the stock rod 41 group. Subsequently, the material supporting rod 31 moves, and the rod supported above the material supporting rod 31 is synchronously moved into the loading space. Then the material supporting rack 3 descends to lower the material supporting rod 31, and the material supporting rod 31 passes through between the stock rods 41, so that the rod remains in the loading space, completing the storage of the rod. When taking materials, the material supporting rack 3 rises to one side of the loading space where the target rod is located. At this time, the material supporting rod 31 moves along the second direction to the lower part of the stock rod 41 in this loading space. The material supporting rack 3 continues to rise to lift the target rod, and then the material supporting rod 31 retracts onto the material supporting rack 3, driving one or more target rods to exit from a loading space simultaneously. Finally, the material supporting rack 3 moves to the discharging height and is transported to a predetermined position through the conveying roller 21 for the next process of transportation manually or by an automated device. In summary, this device can automatically store multiple rods used to form the same window frame into the same storage space, reducing manual operation, accelerating the speed of accessing materials, and transferring and storing the rods through the mutually perpendicular material supporting rod 31 and the rod, as well as the mutually perpendicular stock rod 41 and the rod. The material supporting rod 31 and the stock rod 41 avoid each other, reducing the interference between them when transferring the rod and improving the utilization rate of the plant space by the device.

[0034] In this embodiment, the conveying driving member 22 can be a motor belt module or other structures capable of driving the conveying roller 21 to rotate. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the projection shape of the material supporting frame 3 on the horizontal plane is generally rectangular. Clamping seats 32 are provided at the four corner positions of the material supporting frame 3 along the horizontal direction. Clamping grooves are formed on the clamping seats 32. Clamping sliding rails 11 corresponding to the clamping seats 32 one by one are provided on the machine frame 1. The clamping sliding rails 11 are clamped in the corresponding clamping grooves. Further, a plurality of clamping seats 32 can be arranged along the vertical direction. The plurality of clamping seats 32 are clamped to the corresponding clamping sliding rails 11 through the clamping grooves, so as to realize the stable sliding of the material supporting frame 3 on the machine frame 1.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, a material supporting lifting driving member 33 is provided on the machine frame 1. The material supporting lifting driving member 33 can be a rodless cylinder driving module or a belt driving module. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made thereto.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the material supporting rods 31 is the same as that of the material storage rods 41, and the two are displaced from each other in the first direction, so that the interference between the material supporting rods 31 and the material storage rods 41 is avoided after the material supporting rods 31 move in the second direction. In addition, the length of the material supporting rods 31 is greater than the length of the material storage rods 41.

[0038] If the material supporting rods 31 are arranged at equal intervals, when carrying shorter rods, there is a risk that the shorter rods will fall out of the material supporting frame 3. Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the gap between two adjacent material supporting rods 31 gradually increases in the first direction. The length of the gap between two adjacent material supporting rods 31 is less than the minimum length of the rods used in cooperation with the material storage library of the rods. As can be seen from the above, when the shorter rods completely enter the machine frame 1, the material supporting rods 31 rise. At this time, a plurality of material supporting rods 31 with shorter spacing can form good supporting and transferring for the short rods completely entering the machine frame 1, reducing the situation that the rods fall due to not being supported by more than two material supporting rods 31 at the same time during the transfer process. When transporting longer rods, the material supporting rods 31 with longer or shorter spacing on the material supporting frame 3 can support the rods. Therefore, reducing the number of material supporting rods 31 at the end of the material supporting frame 3 along the first direction and increasing the gap between two adjacent material supporting rods 31 can reduce the manufacturing cost of the overall material storage library of the rods without reducing the transfer effect of the rods, thereby improving economic benefits.

[0039] If the material storage rods 41 are arranged at equal intervals, when carrying shorter rods, there is a risk that the shorter rods will fall out of the material storage frame 4. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5, the gap between two adjacent stock rods 41 in the same group gradually increases in the first direction, and the length of the gap between two adjacent stock rods 41 is less than the minimum length of the rod. When transferring the rod to the stock rod 41 after the rod is transported to the end of the rack 1 in the first direction by the supporting rod 31, if a shorter rod is transported, the adjacent spacing is shorter, so that a larger number of stock rods 41 will stably support the short rod at this place, reducing the risk of the short rod falling. If a longer rod is transported, for the long rod after being transferred to the stock bin, one end of it is supported by a larger number of stock rods 41 with a smaller spacing, and the other end is supported by a smaller number of stock rods 41 with a larger spacing. While not reducing the supporting effect on the rod, by reducing the number of stock rods 41 arranged, the cost of the rod stock bin is reduced.

[0040] When placing the rod in the access opening 51, if the specifications of the access opening 51 are not restricted, the worker may place the rod at a position where the supporting rod 31 and the conveying roller 21 do not overlap in the horizontal projection, resulting in the rod not being normally transported. Refer to Figure 1 , the width of the access opening 51 is less than the width of the supporting rod 31. The access opening 51 on the housing 5 is used to limit the position of the rod when entering the conveying roller 21, so that after the conveying frame 2 descends, the supporting rod 31 can accurately abut against the rod in the middle position, thereby stably transferring the rod from the supporting rod 31 to the stock rod 41, reducing the transfer failure caused by the rod not falling onto the supporting rod 31 after the conveying frame 2 descends.

[0041] Refer to Figure 4 , a driving assembly 6 is arranged on the supporting frame 3. The driving assembly 6 includes a transmission shaft 61 and a plurality of gears 62. The transmission shaft 61 can rotate and be positioned on the supporting frame 3. The plurality of gears 62 are all sleeved on the transmission shaft 61 and correspond to the plurality of supporting rods 31 one by one. A plurality of tooth blocks are arranged on the supporting rod 31, and the tooth blocks can be engaged with the gears 62 corresponding to the supporting rod 31. Through the cooperation of the transmission shaft 61 and the plurality of gears 62, each supporting rod 31 on the supporting frame 3 can be simultaneously driven to move synchronously, thereby improving the change of the posture of the rod when being transferred to the stock rack 4, and reducing the negative impact generated when different parts of the rod move out of sync.

[0042] In order to increase the storage capacity of the rod, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , stock racks 4 are arranged on both sides of the rack 1 in the first direction. The supporting rod 31 can move to the bearing space of any stock rack 4. The same stock racks 4 are arranged on both sides of the rack 1, and the supporting rod 31 can move to the two stock racks 4, so that the rod stock bin can store more sets of rods.

[0043] Refer to Figure 4, transmission shafts 61 are provided on both sides of the support rack 3 along the first direction, and each transmission shaft 61 is sleeved with a gear 62 corresponding to a plurality of support rods 31 one by one, and the tooth block on the support rod 31 can mesh with any corresponding gear 62, and the two transmission shafts 61 are arranged at the ends of the support rack 3, so that the two gears 62 can drive the support rod 31 separately at two opposite ends, so that each gear 62 can mesh with the tooth block at the end position of the support rod 31 in the opposite direction of the current moving direction, thereby driving the support rod 31 to move to the storage rack 4 to the maximum extent, thereby improving the stability of the rod member moving completely into the storage rack 4 with the support rod 31; Specifically, the driving assembly 6 also includes a driving motor, which is installed on the support frame 3 and located at the center of the end of the support frame 3. The output end of the driving motor is connected to the two transmission shafts 61 on both sides of the support frame 3 along the second direction through a pulley group. Only one driving motor is needed to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor and drive the gears 62 on both sides to rotate forward and reverse through the pulley, thereby driving the support rod 31 to move in the second direction.

[0044] In order to fix the moving track of the supporting rod 31, refer to Figure 3 A plurality of pairs of fixing grooves 34 are arranged on the support rack 3 along the first direction, a pair of fixing grooves 34 corresponds to a support rod 31, and the two fixing grooves 34 of the same pair are respectively installed on both sides of the support rack 3 along the second direction. The cross-section of the fixing groove 34 is arc-shaped, and can be clamped to the support rod 31 with a circular bottom. When the support rod 31 moves on the support rack 3, it is at least slidably clamped to one of the corresponding fixing grooves 34.

[0045] When too many rods are placed in the same loading space, the rods stacked on the top are likely to fall. To reduce the possibility of rod falling, one end of each of the multiple stock rods 41 is connected to the stock rack 4, and the other end extends towards the frame 1 and slopes upwards (the sloping posture is not shown in the attached drawings). After the material supporting rod 31 drives the rod over the sloping end of the stock rod 41, the material supporting frame 3 descends so that the rod is abutted by the sloping stock rod 41 and thus falls into the loading space. First, at this time, the sloping stock rod 41 can obstruct the rod. Compared with the stock rod 41 extending horizontally, the formed loading space is more stable and the rod is less likely to fall. Second, the sloping stock rod 41 forms a loading space with a gap gradually increasing from bottom to top, so that the rod that first falls into the loading space will automatically fall to the bottom under the action of gravity, preventing the rods from stacking at the loading space and causing the last rod falling onto the stock rack 4 to fall from the loading space. Third, due to the slope of the stock rod 41, the loading space extends upwards, and multiple loading spaces are arranged in the vertical direction. Without reducing the storage capacity of a single loading space, the utilization rate of each loading space is increased. Fourth, when the material supporting rod 31 starts to move downwards so that the rod abuts against the stock rod 41, the sloping stock rod 41 can contact the rod at the same position of the material supporting rod 31 more quickly, enabling the rod to start falling into the supporting space earlier, accelerating the transfer speed of the rod, reducing the required time, and improving the overall efficiency of the rod storage library.

[0046] As a further implementation method, the worker can adjust the inclination angle of the stock rod 41 to reduce the projected length of the stock rod 41 on the horizontal plane, thereby controlling the width of the stock rack 4 in the second direction, reducing the floor area occupied by the stock rack 4, and at the same time increasing the number of groups of the stock rod 41 in the vertical direction, reducing the factory space occupied by the overall rod inventory rack while maintaining the original number of placed rods.

[0047] To detect whether the rod completely enters the frame 1, a photoelectric sensor is provided at a position above the end of the conveyor rack 2 in the opposite direction of the first direction of the material supporting frame 3. When the photoelectric sensor is blocked, the conveyor rack 2 moves downwards. When the rod passes through the photoelectric sensor, the laser emitted by the photoelectric sensor is blocked, causing the photoelectric sensor to receive a relevant signal, thereby driving the conveyor rack 2 to move downwards and changing to the material supporting rod 31 to push the rod.

[0048] The implementation principle of the rod storage library in the embodiment of this application is as follows: First, a complete set of rods formed after the cutting process is transported to the access opening 51 of the rod storage bin by equipment or manually. At this time, the transfer rack 2 rises relative to the material support rack 3 until the height of the transfer rollers 21 is greater than the height of the material support rods 31 of the material support rack 3. Then, the rods are sequentially placed on the transfer rollers 21 one by one. The transfer rollers 21 rotate to drive the rods to move forward in the first direction until the rod completely enters the frame 1. When the rod completely enters the frame 1, the transfer rack 2 descends relative to the material support rack 3 until the height of the material support rods 31 of the material support rack 3 is greater than the height of the transfer rollers 21. At this time, the rod descends with the transfer rollers 21 until it abuts against the material support rods 31 and separates from the transfer rollers 21. Then, the material support rack 3 moves up and down in the frame 1 until the height of the top surface of the material support rod 31 is greater than the height of the top surface of the end of the storage rod 41 away from the storage rack 4, that is, the height of the bottom surface of the rod is greater than the height of the top surface of the end of the storage rod 41. Then, the material support rod 31 moves towards the storage rod 41 until it completely extends into the bearing space formed by the set of storage rods 41. Then, the material support rack 3 drives the material support rod 31 to start descending, causing the rod to descend synchronously until the bottom surface of the rod abuts against the top surface of the storage rod 41 and the rod separates from the material support rod 31. At this time, the rod is left in the bearing space; When the transportation of multiple rods in the same set is completed, the rods in the same bearing space will fall to the bottom of the groove formed by the inclined storage rod 41 and the frame of the storage rack 4 along the inclination angle formed by the inclined storage rod 41, and gradually stack upwards as the number of rods increases. After the rods irregularly placed on the material support rod 31 move into the bearing space, they always fall to the bottom of the bearing space; When it is necessary to take out the same set of rods placed in the same bearing space, the material support rack 3 rises until the height of the top surface of the material support rod 31 is slightly lower than the height of the bottom surface of the storage rod 41 of the target bearing space. Then, the material support rod 31 extends. Immediately, the material support rack 3 rises until the material support rod 31 crosses the storage rod 41 and abuts against the rod. Then, the material support rod 31 continues to rise until the height of the bottom surface of the material support rod 31 is greater than the height of the top surface of the storage rod 41, so that the material support rod 31 supports the rod. At this time, the material support rod 31 retracts, driving the rod it holds to move, and can withdraw from the access opening of the bearing space formed between two adjacent upper and lower storage rods 41. The height of the access opening of the bearing space is greater than the height of the bearing space to ensure that the stacked rods can move at this access opening; Finally, when the rod moves to the transfer rack 2 with the material support rod 31, the transfer rack 2 rises relative to the material support rack 3 until the height of the transfer rollers 21 is greater than the height of the material support rods 31 of the material support rack 3. The rod can be conveyed by the transfer rollers 21 and conveyed to the access opening 51 of the housing 5 at one time, and then quickly assembled by the worker.

[0049] In a second aspect, the present application provides a working method, which is applied to a rod storage library provided in the first aspect. The working method includes: S1: When storing materials, first raise the transfer rack 2 to a height higher than that of the material supporting rack 3, and then load the rod onto the transfer roller 21 until the rod completely enters the machine frame 1; S2: Lower the transfer rack 2 until the rod lands on the material supporting rod 31; S3: Move the material supporting rod 31 in a direction away from the material supporting rack 3 until the rod enters the loading space, and then lower the entire material supporting rack 3; S4: When taking materials, move the material supporting rack 3 to a height where the material supporting rod 31 is lower than the height of the storage rod 41 with which the target rod abuts; S5: Move the material supporting rod 31 in a direction away from the material supporting rack 3 until the material supporting rod 31 is located below the target rod; S6: Raise the entire material supporting rack 3 until the material supporting rod 31 abuts against the target rod and the target rod is separated from the storage rod 41; S7: Move the material supporting rod 31 in a direction close to the material supporting rack 3, driving the target rod to move above the material supporting rack 3; S8: Raise the transfer rack 2 to a height where the transfer roller 21 is higher than the material supporting rod 31, and then move the entire material supporting rack 3 to the output end of the machine frame 1.
