Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of stereoscopic warehouses, and in particular to a material frame caching stereoscopic warehouse and a caching method. [Background Technology]

[0002] In the production process of food and the like, it is often necessary to store the products produced, and it is also necessary to store the empty material frames used to place the products. For example, in the tea production process, after the tea leaves are packed according to the gram weight required for each brew, it is necessary to use a material frame to receive the tea bags, and the material frame containing the tea bags is pulled into the warehouse for temporary storage. At the same time, the empty material frame after the tea bags are taken out also needs to be pulled into the warehouse for temporary storage so that it can be used later. However, for the entry and exit of material frames (including material frames containing materials and empty material frames), it is still necessary to rely on manual human participation in some handling operations, resulting in a low overall level of intelligence, poor flexibility and real-time performance of the material frame operation, and is not conducive to improving production efficiency. In view of the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of this case conducted an in-depth study on this issue, and thus this case was created. [Summary of the invention]

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a material frame caching three-dimensional warehouse and a caching method to solve the problem that the entry and exit of existing material frames still rely on manual parameters, resulting in a low overall level of intelligence, poor flexibility and real-time performance of material frame operation, and is not conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0004] The present invention is achieved in that:

[0005] In a first aspect, a material frame cache stereoscopic library comprises:

[0006] Two vertical storage bodies, a stacking channel is formed between the two vertical storage bodies, each vertical storage body is formed with a plurality of cache units along the length direction of the stacking channel, each cache unit is formed with a plurality of cache layers from bottom to top, and each cache layer includes at least one cache storage position;

[0007] a material frame stacker, the material frame stacker being arranged in the stacking channel;

[0008] A reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle is provided at one end of the stacking channel, and both sides of one end of the stacking channel are provided with a first lifting and transferring mechanism for connecting with the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle;

[0009] A first double-layer material frame conveyor is provided at the other end of the stacking channel, and both sides of the other end of the stacking channel are provided with a second lifting and transferring mechanism for connecting with the first double-layer material frame conveyor.

[0010] In a second aspect, a caching method for a material frame caching stereoscopic library is provided, the method comprising the following steps:

[0011] Full-frame warehousing: A reciprocating double-station frame transfer vehicle is used to transport the material frame to one of the first lifting and transferring mechanisms. After the first lifting and transferring mechanism transports the material frame to the designated location, the frame is scanned and assigned a storage location number. At the same time, the first lifting and transferring mechanism lifts the material frame to a certain height and the frame stacker transports the material frame to the cache location corresponding to the storage location number for caching.

[0012] Empty frame in and out of storage: The first double-layer material frame conveyor is used to transport the empty material frame that has run out of materials to one of the second lifting and transferring mechanisms. When the second lifting and transferring mechanism transports the empty material frame to the designated location, the empty material frame is scanned and assigned a storage location number. At the same time, the empty material frame is lifted to a certain height by the second lifting and transferring mechanism, and then transported to the cache location corresponding to the storage location number by the material frame stacker for caching;

[0013] Full-frame delivery: The frame stacker is used to take the frame filled with materials from the buffer storage location and convey the frame filled with materials to another second lifting and transferring mechanism. When the second lifting and transferring mechanism rises and takes over the frame filled with materials, it scans the code of the frame filled with materials and delivers it to the warehouse. At the same time, the second lifting and transferring mechanism drives the frame filled with materials to descend and conveys the frame filled with materials to the first double-layer frame conveyor for delivery.

[0014] Empty frame out of the warehouse: Use the material frame stacker to take the empty material frame out from the cache storage location and transport the empty material frame to another first lifting and transferring mechanism. When the first lifting and transferring mechanism rises to take over the empty material frame, the empty material frame is scanned and shipped out of the warehouse. At the same time, the first lifting and transferring mechanism drives the empty material frame to descend and transports the empty material frame to the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle for output.

[0015] When the material frame caching stereoscopic warehouse of the present invention is used, on the one hand, the material frames filled with materials can be automatically stacked and cached into the main body of the vertical warehouse through the cooperation of the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle, the first lifting and transferring mechanism, and the material frame stacker, that is, the material frames filled with materials are automatically put into the warehouse; it can also realize the automatic conveyance of empty material frames cached in the main body of the vertical warehouse to the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle, that is, the empty material frames are automatically taken out of the warehouse. On the other hand, the material frame stacker, the second lifting and transferring mechanism, and the first double-layer material frame conveyor can be cooperated to realize the automatic conveyance of material frames filled with materials to the boxing production line for subsequent production, that is, the material frames filled with materials are automatically taken out of the warehouse; it can also realize the automatic stacking and cache of empty material frames used by the boxing production line into the main body of the vertical warehouse, that is, the empty material frames are automatically put into the warehouse. In addition, the box elevator, the second double-layer material frame conveyor, and the auxiliary conveyor can cooperate to automatically transport material frames produced on different floors to the vertical warehouse for caching or directly to the box packaging production line for use. It is also possible to directly transport empty material frames returned from the box packaging production line to the blister production line on different floors for use. Therefore, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, the storage and unloading of material frames can be fully automated, and the flexibility and real-time performance of the material frame operation can be improved, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0078] Example 2

[0079] See also Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the present invention provides a caching method for a material frame caching stereoscopic warehouse 100, wherein the specific structure of the material frame caching stereoscopic warehouse 100 is exactly the same as that of the first embodiment. For details, please refer to the detailed introduction of the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here. The method includes the following steps:

[0080] Full frame storage: The reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3 is used to transport the material frame containing materials to one of the first lifting and transferring mechanisms 41. After the first lifting and transferring mechanism 41 transports the material frame containing materials to the designated position, the material frame containing materials is scanned and a storage location number is assigned to facilitate caching the material frame to the cache location 131 corresponding to the storage location number. At the same time, the material frame containing materials is lifted to a certain height by the first lifting and transferring mechanism 41, so that the material frame stacker 2 can fork the material frame, and the material frame stacker 2 transports the material frame containing materials to the cache location 131 corresponding to the storage location number for caching;

[0081] Empty frame in and out of storage: The first double-layer material frame conveyor 51 is used to convey the empty material frame that has run out of materials to one of the second jacking and transferring mechanisms 42. After the second jacking and transferring mechanism 42 conveys the empty material frame to the designated position, the empty material frame is scanned and assigned a storage location number so that the empty material frame can be cached in the cache location 131 corresponding to the storage location number. At the same time, the second jacking and transferring mechanism 42 lifts the empty material frame to a certain height so that the material frame stacker 2 can fork the material frame, and the empty material frame is conveyed to the cache location 131 corresponding to the storage location number for caching by the material frame stacker 2. That is, the empty material frame returned from the boxing production line is cached in the vertical warehouse body 1;

[0082] Full frame outbound: The frame containing materials is taken out from the cache storage location by using the frame stacker 2. Specifically, the frame stacker 2 can be controlled to fork the frame in sequence according to the storage location number, and the frame containing materials is conveyed to another second lifting and transferring mechanism 42. When the second lifting and transferring mechanism 42 rises to take over the frame containing materials, the frame containing materials is scanned and outbound. At the same time, the second lifting and transferring mechanism 42 drives the frame containing materials to descend, and conveys the frame containing materials to the first double-layer frame conveyor 51 for output, so that the frame containing materials is automatically conveyed to the box packaging production line for production through the first double-layer frame conveyor 51.

[0083] Empty frame out of the warehouse: Use the material frame stacker 2 to take the empty material frame out from the cache position 131, and convey the empty material frame to another first lifting and transferring mechanism 41. When the first lifting and transferring mechanism 41 rises to take over the empty material frame, the empty material frame is scanned and taken out of the warehouse. At the same time, the first lifting and transferring mechanism 41 drives the empty material frame to descend and conveys the empty material frame to the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3 for output, so as to realize the transportation of the empty material frame to the bubble bag production line for continued use.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, when multiple bubble bag production lines are arranged on different floors, the method further includes:

[0085] Full-frame storage also includes: conveying the material frame filled with materials to the auxiliary conveyor 7 through one of the box-type elevators 6, and the auxiliary conveyor 7 conveying the material frame filled with materials to the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3, so that the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3 can convey the material frame filled with materials to the first lifting and transferring mechanism 41 for storage;

[0086] Full-frame direct production: The material frame filled with materials is conveyed to the second double-layer material frame conveyor 52 by one of the box-type elevators 6. The second double-layer material frame conveyor 52 conveys the material frame filled with materials directly to the first double-layer material frame conveyor 51. The material frame filled with materials is automatically conveyed to the box packaging production line for production by the first double-layer material frame conveyor 51;

[0087] Direct production of empty frames: The empty frames are conveyed to the second double-layer frame conveyor 52 by the first double-layer frame conveyor 51, and the second double-layer frame conveyor 52 conveys the empty frames directly to another box-type elevator 6, so that the empty frames can be conveyed to the bubble bag production lines on different floors through the box-type elevator 6.

[0088] At the same time, it should be noted that, in the specific implementation of the present invention, when the box-type elevator 6 is not needed or the box-type elevator 6 is not provided, the second double-layer material frame conveyor 52 can also be designed to be connected with the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3, so that the material frame filled with materials can be directly transported to the boxing production line for production through the second double-layer material frame conveyor 52 and the first double-layer material frame conveyor 51 by the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3, or the empty material frame can be directly transported to the reciprocating double-station material frame transfer vehicle 3 through the first double-layer material frame conveyor 51 and the second double-layer material frame conveyor 52.
