Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stacking machines, in particular to a high-efficiency stacking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of modern logistics industry towards intelligence and high efficiency, automated warehouse has become the mainstream solution for warehouse management. As the core equipment of the automated warehouse, the operation efficiency of the stacking machine directly affects the throughput capacity of the entire warehouse system. The traditional single-fork stacking machine uses a single actuator to complete the three-dimensional movement (horizontal walking, vertical lifting, and fork extension) of the goods. Although this design is simple in structure, it has obvious efficiency bottleneck in actual application. Especially in e-commerce logistics, intelligent manufacturing and other application scenarios with high requirements for warehouse efficiency, the single-fork stacking machine often becomes the key factor restricting the overall efficiency of the system.

[0003] To solve this problem, the industry has proposed various technical improvement schemes. For example, a double-station stacking machine and its control method are disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN120156799A. This technology sets a stacking module including two stacking units on the track module, so that the two stacking units can be flexibly transferred at different positions of the track module according to the operation requirements. Although this design can theoretically improve the operation efficiency, it has significant defects in actual application: in order to realize the simultaneous operation of the two stacking units, it is necessary to set a picking point and a unloading point on both sides of the goods shelf. This requirement contradicts the trend of modern automated warehouse to pursue high space utilization, resulting in a significant reduction in the effective storage area of the warehouse. According to actual engineering case statistics, the storage density of a warehouse using this design will usually be reduced by 20%-30%.

[0004] In addition, the existing stacking machine technology also has the following technical pain points:

[0005] For example, insufficient goods transfer precision: the traditional stacking machine lacks effective positioning compensation mechanism when the forks are docked, which easily leads to goods deviation or falling; poor equipment stability: under long-term high-load operation, key components (such as lifting mechanism, walking mechanism) are prone to wear and deformation; high maintenance cost: complex mechanical structure and frequent maintenance requirements increase operating costs; poor adaptability: difficult to adapt to the operation requirements of different specifications of goods shelves, lack of flexibility.

[0006] The existence of these problems seriously restricts the popularization and application of the stacker in the modern intelligent warehouse system. Therefore, developing a new type of high-efficiency stacker which can not only maintain the existing warehouse layout but also significantly improve the operation efficiency has become a technical problem to be solved in the industry. The ideal solution should achieve breakthroughs in the following aspects: maintaining or improving the space utilization of the existing warehouse, significantly improving the operation efficiency, enhancing the stability and reliability of the equipment, reducing the maintenance cost, and having good adaptability.
