Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical design, and in particular to an intelligent lifting and transplanting device and a method for storing and retrieving materials thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the scale of manufacturing enterprises and logistics enterprises, the number and scale of warehouses are also increasing. Manual labor and operations can no longer meet the requirements of fast and efficient logistics, quickly storing and retrieving materials, and intelligently identifying the types of goods. As a result, goods storage and retrieval equipment has been widely used.

[0003] However, the existing goods storage and retrieval equipment has relatively single functions and requires manual intervention between storage and retrieval. At the same time, due to the large variety of goods specifications, their external dimensions and weights are different, and workers are required to sort and scan codes during storage and retrieval, which undoubtedly slows down the work efficiency and cannot further reduce the labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency and low automation level of the existing goods storage and retrieval equipment, and provide an intelligent lifting and transplanting device, which can effectively improve the operation efficiency of logistics, make up for the deficiencies of manual labor and operations, improve the automation level of goods storage and retrieval, and be more intelligent and efficient.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An intelligent lifting and transplanting device includes a stacker body disposed between a ground rail and a sky rail. The stacker body includes a walking mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a goods storage and retrieval mechanism that cooperate with each other.

[0006] The walking mechanism includes a lower crossbeam. On both sides of the lower crossbeam, there are respectively walking motor assemblies. The output ends of the walking motor assemblies are connected to the corresponding driving wheels. The driving wheels cooperate with the ground rail. At both ends of the walking mechanism, there are also respectively ground rail guide wheels, which are also connected to the ground rail and form a rotational guiding cooperation therewith, so as to drive the frame above the crossbeam to move along the ground rail.

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a pair of vertical drum columns and an electrical cabinet column. The walking mechanism is fixed to the lower ends of the drum columns and the electrical cabinet column. The upper ends of the drum columns and the electrical cabinet column are connected with an upper crossbeam assembly; The upper crossbeam assembly includes sky rail guide wheels disposed at both ends of the upper crossbeam. The sky rail guide wheels are connected to the sky rail and form a rotational guiding cooperation therewith. An elevating pulley assembly is also connected to the upper crossbeam. A steel wire rope is wound around the elevating pulley assembly. One end of the steel wire rope is wound around a drum and connected to an elevating motor assembly, and the other end passes around the elevating pulley assembly and is connected to the goods storage and retrieval mechanism.

[0008] The goods access mechanism includes a cage frame. On both sides of the cage frame, there is a U-shaped seat respectively. Inside each U-shaped seat, there are a lifting guide wheel assembly, a lifting pulley assembly and a safety clamp assembly which cooperate with each other. The reel column and the electrical cabinet column are exactly arranged inside the openings of the corresponding U-shaped seats. And on the columns, there are vertical lifting slide rails fixed. The lifting slide rails are connected with the lifting guide wheel assembly and form a sliding guiding fit therewith. The lifting pulley assembly is connected with the steel wire rope on the corresponding side to drive the cage to lift through the steel wire rope. The bottom of the cage frame is connected with a telescopic fork assembly. The telescopic fork assembly includes a telescopic motor and a multi-stage fork which cooperate with each other. The multi-stage fork is horizontally arranged on the cage frame. And on the cage frame, there is also a set of material shape detection components to facilitate the discrimination and detection of goods.

[0009] Further, the traveling mechanism adopts a double-motor traveling mechanism, on which there is a speed limiter assembly to limit the lifting speed. The lifting speed is 30 m / min and the traveling speed reaches 120 m / min.

[0010] Further, on the traveling mechanism, there are a laser rangefinder and an optical communication component which cooperate with each other. Its positioning uses laser ranging and transmits signals through optical communication.

[0011] Further, polyurethane buffers are respectively connected to both ends of the traveling mechanism and the upper crossbeam assembly.

[0012] Further, on one side of the upper crossbeam assembly close to the reel column, there is a main steel wire rope, and on the side close to the electrical cabinet column, there is a secondary steel wire rope. And when the main and secondary steel wire ropes are connected and cooperate with the goods access mechanism, the main steel wire rope and the secondary steel wire rope are parallel to each other, and their axes are all parallel to the reel column and the electrical cabinet column.

[0013] Further, the reel and the lifting motor assembly are both fixed on the reel column. On the electrical cabinet column, there is an electrical control cabinet for controlling the transplanting equipment and a ladder for equipment operation and maintenance.

[0014] Further, the cage frame is a rectangular frame. The material shape detection components include a first photoelectric support assembly, a bin position photoelectric detection assembly, a first photoelectric reflector assembly, a second photoelectric reflector assembly, a third photoelectric reflector assembly and a second photoelectric support assembly arranged on the rectangular frame.

[0015] Further, a lifting limit block assembly is also connected to the side of the U-shaped seat. And the lifting guide wheel assembly inside the U-shaped seat adopts a double-guide wheel structure to be used for guiding and positioning along the guide rail.

[0016] In order to further achieve the purpose of the present invention, there is also provided a method for accessing materials of an intelligent lifting and transplanting device. Using the above-mentioned intelligent lifting and transplanting device, the specific steps are as follows, including: Before the goods enter the warehouse, they are first subjected to appearance inspection, weight inspection, and material code scanning to prevent over-sized goods from entering the warehouse, and at the same time, the goods information is stored. (2) After the workpiece is conveyed to the designated position through the conveyor line, the goods access mechanism extends the multi-stage forklift to fork the pallet onto the cargo cage frame. At this time, a secondary appearance inspection of the goods is carried out to facilitate the distinction of the height of the stored and retrieved goods and place them in the appropriate position in the warehouse. (3) Through the system to match a suitable storage location, the optical communication on the walking mechanism measures the length distance, and the walking motor assembly drives the equipment to walk in front of the storage location. The lifting mechanism uses the motor reel to lift the goods to the appropriate height, and the height is measured by laser ranging. At this time, the goods access mechanism forks the pallet goods onto the warehouse storage location. (4) When retrieving materials, the goods information is read again through the barcode scanner. After retrieving the storage location of the material, the equipment is driven by the walking motor assembly, the distance is measured by optical communication, the lifting mechanism reaches the appropriate height through laser ranging, and the goods transfer equipment forks the material and then sends the goods out of the warehouse in the reverse direction.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the cargo cage frame uses the material appearance detection component to detect the length, width, and height of the workpiece, and at the same time, the materials in the first and second extended positions in the shelf can be detected.

[0018] In the technical solution of the present invention, the intelligent lifting and transfer device is used to store and retrieve materials, including a series of operations such as entering the feeding port from the conveyor line, automatically detecting the external dimensions and weight of the materials, scanning the material code, walking in the roadway, detecting whether there are materials in the storage location, automatically storing and retrieving materials, and discharging the materials out of the warehouse. This improves the warehouse utilization rate and the automation level of goods storage and retrieval, enhances the work efficiency, and makes the whole process more intelligent and efficient.
