Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of frame and sash storage, and more particularly to a frame and sash storage device, a large-capacity frame and sash storage system, and a frame and sash transfer method. Background Technology

[0002] After the frame and sash profiles are initially assembled into a frame structure using corner brackets, glue needs to be applied to the specified locations to enhance the connection accuracy and strength of the window frame. After the glue is applied, it needs to be cured for a certain period of time before it can be transported to the next production line for further transport.

[0003] The closest prior art is the applicant's earlier application, authorized publication number CN115489955B, which provides an intelligent window frame storage system and method, including a feeding unit, a transportation unit, a storage unit, a conveying unit, and a control cabinet. The storage unit includes a base frame, on which a maintenance support is mounted, and a driven conveyor belt is mounted at the lower end of the maintenance support. The transportation unit includes a track, on which a transportation vehicle is mounted. The transportation vehicle includes a frame and a carrying rack, the carrying rack being vertically mounted. A drive conveyor belt is movably mounted on the frame, and transmission units are provided at both ends of the drive conveyor belt. The drive conveyor belt can drive the driven conveyor belt to transport in the same direction through the transmission unit. When window frames or sashes are put into storage, the transport vehicle needs to move to the loading position to transfer the window frames or sashes from the loading unit to the transport vehicle's rack, and then move to the designated maintenance bracket to transfer the window frames or sashes from the rack to the corresponding maintenance bracket. When they need to be taken out of storage, the transport vehicle moves to the corresponding maintenance bracket position to transfer the window frames or sashes from the corresponding maintenance bracket to the rack, and then moves to the exit position to transfer the window frames or sashes from the rack to the conveyor unit. This solution has high reliability, replaces manual handling and timekeeping, and is highly efficient.

[0004] As production line capacity increases, the storage system needs to be expanded. When using the above technical solution, adding a maintenance support column requires adding a transportation unit for the new maintenance support, since window frames or sashes can only be transferred via the transportation unit and the loading unit is located on one side of the transportation unit. This is necessary to achieve the warehousing and retrieval of window frames or sashes. However, this results in a significant increase in costs due to expansion and a substantial increase in the workshop floor space required after expansion. Both of these factors are detrimental to the expansion of the storage system, making it difficult for the existing storage system to be compatible with high-capacity production lines. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem of high expansion difficulty in existing frame and fan storage systems, this invention provides a frame and fan storage device, a large-capacity frame and fan storage system, and a frame and fan transfer method, which can reduce the significant increase in investment costs and floor space required for expansion, thereby reducing the difficulty of expansion.

[0006] In a first aspect, the technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is: a frame and sash storage device, including a base frame, on which a plurality of maintenance brackets are arranged in a straight line, and one or at least two of the maintenance brackets are provided with a conveying unit at their bottom, the number of the conveying units being less than the number of the maintenance brackets, the conveying unit including a conveying motor, the transmission unit being used to transfer window frames and / or window sashes into and / or out of storage, and the maintenance bracket where the transmission unit is located can be arranged opposite to a loading device or an unloading device.

[0007] This invention, by incorporating a conveying unit into the maintenance support within the storage device, enables the storage device to transfer window frames or sashes. During outbound and inbound operations, it can autonomously transfer window frames and sashes without relying on existing transport vehicles. This reduces the transport vehicle's workload by limiting its function to transferring between different maintenance supports, enhancing the independence of the storage device's functionality. Consequently, it ensures that no additional transport device is needed during expansion, reducing costs, space requirements, and the difficulty of expansion.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveying unit includes multiple idlers, which are rotatably disposed at the bottom of the maintenance support. The highest position of the idlers is at the same height as the support surface on the maintenance support without the conveying unit. The multiple idlers are respectively connected to the driven end of a corresponding belt drive assembly. The driving end of each belt drive assembly is connected to a drive shaft, which is rotatably disposed on the corresponding maintenance support and connected to the conveying motor.

[0009] This invention ensures the synchronicity of the rotation and conveying of multiple rollers by driving multiple rollers through a single conveying motor, and ensures that the conveying unit does not tilt or cause collision interference when conveying window frames or window sashes.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a transfer vehicle that moves along the base frame and below the plurality of maintenance supports. The transfer vehicle includes a frame on which a transfer component and a lifting component are connected. The lifting component can drive the transfer component to rise and fall. After the transfer component is raised, its top is higher than the support surface of the maintenance support. The conveying direction of the transfer component is parallel to the conveying direction of the transmission unit.

[0011] By setting up a transfer vehicle, this invention avoids the need for multiple conveying units in the storage device. Multiple maintenance brackets share a single transfer vehicle for the transfer of window frames or window sashes, further reducing expansion costs. At the same time, compared with the prior art where all maintenance brackets share a single transfer vehicle without setting up conveying units, the transfer vehicle does not need to move to the loading position to assist in loading, which can greatly reduce the workload of the transfer vehicle and improve the transfer efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, two transmission units are provided.

[0013] Secondly, the present invention also provides a large-capacity frame and sash storage system, including a loading device and a transport device, and further including the aforementioned frame and sash storage device. The transport device includes a transport vehicle and a carrying rack. Two frame and sash storage devices are provided, namely storage device one and storage device two. The transport device is located between storage device one and storage device two. The moving direction of the transport vehicle is parallel to the arrangement direction of the plurality of maintenance supports. The loading device is located on the side of storage device one away from the transport device. The number of loading devices is the same as the number of conveying units on storage device one. The loading devices are arranged opposite to the maintenance supports on storage device one that are provided with the conveying units. The unloading device is located on the side of storage device two away from the transport device. The number of unloading devices is the same as the number of conveying units on storage device two. The unloading devices are arranged opposite to the maintenance supports on storage device two that are provided with the conveying units.

[0014] This invention greatly increases the storage capacity of the storage system by setting up two frame storage devices, and reduces the investment cost by setting up only one transportation device. At the same time, it reduces the workload of the transfer vehicle, shortens the waiting time, and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a temporary storage device, which is located on the side of the storage device two away from the transport device. The temporary storage device includes a temporary storage rack, and a feeding unit is provided at the bottom of the temporary storage rack. The feeding unit includes a feeding motor, and the height of the support surface of the feeding unit is the same as the height of the support surface of the maintenance bracket.

[0016] By setting up a temporary storage device, this invention is equivalent to providing the system with an outlet other than the conveying unit, thereby increasing the system's outbound efficiency and avoiding excessive outbound backlog that could affect inbound efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, both the storage device one and the storage device two have two conveying units, and both the loading device and the unloading device have two units.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a control cabinet, and the feeding device, the conveying unit, the transfer vehicle, the transport vehicle, the outbound device, and the feeding unit are all electrically connected to the control cabinet.

[0019] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a frame and fan transfer method, which uses the above-mentioned large-capacity frame and fan storage system. The frame and fan transfer method includes an outbound method and an inbound method. The outbound method includes the following steps:

[0020] S101: After the feeding device carries the window sash or window frame, the corresponding conveying unit of the storage device one will transfer the window frame or window sash to the maintenance bracket where it is located.

[0021] S102: After the transport vehicle moves to the maintenance bracket where the corresponding conveying unit of the storage device is located, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the rack with the assistance of the conveying unit.

[0022] S103: After both the transport vehicle and the transfer vehicle have moved to the designated empty maintenance bracket, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the designated maintenance bracket with the assistance of the transfer vehicle. The designated maintenance bracket does not include the maintenance bracket where the transfer unit is located or the maintenance bracket opposite to the temporary storage bracket.

[0023] The data entry method includes the following steps:

[0024] S201: The transport vehicle moves to the maintenance bracket where the window frame or sash to be shipped is located, and with the assistance of the transfer vehicle, the window frame or sash is transferred to the rack.

[0025] S202: The transport vehicle moves to the maintenance bracket where the corresponding conveying unit is located on storage device two, and with the assistance of the conveying unit, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the maintenance bracket.

[0026] S203: Under the coordinated action of the corresponding conveying unit of storage device two and the outbound device, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the outbound device.

[0027] This invention, through the function of the conveying unit, enables storage device one and storage device two to independently transfer window frames or window sashes between the maintenance bracket and the carrying rack, between the maintenance bracket and the feeding device, and between the maintenance bracket and the outgoing device, without relying entirely on the transport device or waiting for the transfer vehicle to move into place. This improves the transfer efficiency of window frames and window sashes at the feeding point and the outgoing point. At the same time, storage device one and storage device two can share the transport device, reducing the equipment cost for inbound and outbound operations.

[0028] Furthermore, in the warehousing method, when a window frame or window sash is being transferred out of the maintenance bracket where the conveying unit of storage device two is located, and there are other window frames or window sashes that need to be transferred out, the transport vehicle moves to the corresponding maintenance bracket. With the assistance of the transfer vehicle of storage device two, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the carrying rack, and then moves to the empty maintenance bracket opposite the temporary storage rack. With the assistance of the transfer vehicle of storage device two, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the corresponding maintenance bracket. Finally, with the assistance of the feeding unit, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the temporary storage rack.

[0029] This invention enables simultaneous discharge from both outlets of the system through the coordinated action of the transport vehicle, transfer vehicle, and feeding components, thereby improving outbound efficiency and preventing outbound congestion that could prevent inbound storage and cause production line shutdowns.

[0030] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0031] This invention provides a frame and sash storage device, a large-capacity frame and sash storage system, and a frame and sash transfer method. By setting a conveying unit for the maintenance supports in this storage device, the device can transfer window frames or sashes autonomously during outbound and inbound operations, eliminating reliance on existing transport vehicles. This reduces the transport vehicle's workload, enhances the independence of the storage device, and ensures that expansion does not require additional transport equipment, thus lowering costs and space requirements and simplifying expansion. By driving multiple rollers with a single conveyor motor, the synchronous rotation of the rollers is ensured, preventing the conveying unit from tilting or colliding with the window frames or sashes. The use of a transfer vehicle avoids the need for multiple conveying units in the storage device; multiple maintenance supports share a single transfer vehicle for transferring window frames or sashes, further reducing expansion costs. Furthermore, compared to existing technologies where all maintenance supports share a single transfer vehicle without conveying units, the transfer vehicle does not need to move to the loading position for coordination. The auxiliary feeding mechanism greatly reduces the workload of the transfer vehicle and improves transfer efficiency. The two frame-style storage devices significantly increase the storage system's capacity, and the use of only one transport device reduces investment costs, decreases the workload of the transfer vehicle, shortens waiting time, and greatly improves work efficiency. The temporary storage device effectively provides an outlet for the system in addition to the conveyor unit, increasing the system's outbound efficiency and preventing excessive outbound backlog that could affect inbound efficiency. The conveyor unit allows storage device one and storage device two to operate independently. The system enables the transfer of window frames or sashes between the maintenance bracket and the carrying rack, between the maintenance bracket and the feeding device, and between the maintenance bracket and the outgoing device, without relying entirely on the transport device or waiting for the transfer vehicle to move into place. This improves the transfer efficiency of window frames and sashes at the feeding and outgoing points. At the same time, storage device one and storage device two can share the transport device, reducing the equipment costs for inbound and outbound processes. Through the coordinated action of the transport vehicle, transfer vehicle, and feeding components, the system can simultaneously discharge from both outlets, improving outbound efficiency and preventing outbound congestion that could prevent inbound processes and cause production line shutdowns.

[0041] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a frame and sash storage device, including a base frame 101. Multiple maintenance brackets 102 are arranged in a straight line on the base frame 101. One or at least two of the multiple maintenance brackets 102 are provided with a conveying unit 104 at their bottom. The number of conveying units 104 is less than the number of maintenance brackets 102. The conveying unit 104 includes a conveying motor 105. The transmission unit is used to transfer window frames and / or window sashes into and / or out of storage. The maintenance bracket 102 where the transmission unit is located can be arranged opposite to the loading device 3 or the unloading device 5.

[0044] This embodiment enables the storage device to transfer window frames or sashes by providing a conveying unit 104 to the maintenance bracket 102 in the storage device. During outbound and inbound operations, the storage device can autonomously transfer window frames and sashes without relying on the transport vehicle 702 in the prior art. This reduces the workload of the transport vehicle 702 and enhances the independence of the storage device's functions. Furthermore, it ensures that no additional transport device 7 is needed during expansion, reducing cost and space requirements, and simplifying expansion.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying unit 104 includes multiple idlers 106, which are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the curing bracket 102. The highest position of the idlers 106 is at the same height as the support surface of the curing bracket 102 without the conveying unit 104. Each idler 106 is connected to the driven end of a corresponding belt drive assembly 107, and the driving end of each belt drive assembly 107 is connected to a drive shaft 108. The drive shaft 108 is rotatably mounted on the corresponding curing bracket 102 and is connected to a conveying motor 105. Specifically, a support shaft is provided inside each idler 106, and the support shaft is mounted at the bottom of the curing bracket 102 via bearings. The end of the support shaft extends out of the maintenance bracket 102. The belt drive assembly 107 includes a driven pulley. The driven pulley 109 is connected to the support shaft via a flat key. A synchronous belt is provided on the driven pulley 109. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the drive shaft 108. The drive shaft 108 is mounted on the maintenance bracket 102 via multiple bearing seats. Another driven pulley is provided on the drive shaft 108. A drive pulley is provided on the motor shaft of the transmission motor 105. Another synchronous belt is provided between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. When the transmission motor 105 rotates, it drives all the rollers 106 to rotate synchronously through the drive shaft 108 to achieve conveying and prevent the window frame and window sash from tilting and causing expansion interference when they move.

[0046] To further reduce costs, such as Figure 3As shown, this embodiment also includes a transfer vehicle 103, which moves along the base frame 101 and below multiple maintenance supports 102. The transfer vehicle 103 includes a frame 113, on which a transfer component 110 and a lifting component 112 are connected. The lifting component 112 can drive the transfer component 110 to rise and fall. After the transfer component 110 is raised, its top is higher than the support surface of the maintenance support 102. The conveying direction of the transfer component 110 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying unit 104. With this configuration, other maintenance supports 102 that do not have a conveying unit 104 can use a single transfer vehicle 103 to transfer window frames and window sashes, further reducing the cost of this device. In this embodiment, the structure of the transfer vehicle 103 is the same as that of the transfer vehicle 103 disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN222728697U, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the warehousing efficiency, in this embodiment, there are two conveying units 104. With this configuration, when the device is used for warehousing, the two conveying units 104 can be connected to two production lines respectively, thereby improving the warehousing efficiency. When the device is used for warehousing, the two conveying units 104 can be connected to two warehousing devices 5 respectively, thereby improving the warehousing efficiency.

[0048] In this embodiment, the maintenance bracket 102 is basically the same in structure as the maintenance bracket 102 in the intelligent window frame storage system and window frame storage method with patent authorization announcement number CN115489955B. The difference is that the bottom is not equipped with a driven conveyor belt. Other structures are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this article.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides a large-capacity frame and sash storage system, including a loading device 3 and a transport device 7, and also includes the frame and sash storage device of Embodiment 1. The transport device 7 includes a transport vehicle 702 and a carrying rack 701. There are two frame and sash storage devices, namely storage device one 1 and storage device two 2. The transport device 7 is located between storage device one 1 and storage device two 2. The moving direction of the transport vehicle 702 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the multiple maintenance supports 102. The loading device 3 is located on the side of storage device one 1 away from the transport device 7. The number of loading devices 3 is the same as the number of conveying units 104 on storage device one 1. The loading device 3 and storage device one 1 are equipped with The maintenance bracket 102 with the conveying unit 104 is arranged opposite to it. The outgoing device 5 is arranged on the side of the storage device 2 away from the transport device 7. The number of outgoing devices 5 is the same as the number of conveying units 104 on the storage device 2. The outgoing devices 5 are arranged opposite to the maintenance bracket 102 with the conveying unit 104 on the storage device 2. In this embodiment, the transport vehicle 702, the rack 701, the loading device 3 and the outgoing device 5 are the same as the transport vehicle 702, the rack 701, the loading device 3 and the conveying device in the patent authorization announcement number CN115489955B "An Intelligent Window Frame Storage System and Window Frame Storage Method". They are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] This embodiment greatly increases the storage capacity of the storage system by setting two frame storage devices. Furthermore, storage device 1 and storage device 2 have transfer functions and can share a single transport device 7, which reduces the system's investment cost. At the same time, it reduces the workload of the transfer vehicle 103 and the transport device 7, shortens the waiting time, and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, to further improve outbound efficiency, this embodiment also includes a temporary storage device 6. The temporary storage device 6 is located on the side of the storage device 2 away from the transport device 7. The temporary storage device 6 includes a temporary storage rack 601, which is arranged parallel to the corresponding maintenance support 102. A feeding unit 602 is provided at the bottom of the temporary storage rack 601. The feeding unit 602 includes a feeding motor, and the height of the support surface of the feeding unit 602 is the same as the height of the support surface of the maintenance support 102. With this arrangement, it is equivalent to setting up a system that, in addition to... The conveying unit 104 serves as the discharge port, increasing the outbound efficiency of the system and avoiding excessive outbound backlog that could affect inbound efficiency. In this embodiment, multiple temporary storage racks 601 are provided. The structure of the temporary storage rack 601 is the same as that of the maintenance bracket 102 without the conveying unit 104. To prevent the window frame and window sash from colliding with the temporary storage rack 601, each temporary storage rack 601 is flush with the corresponding maintenance bracket 102. The feeding unit 602 also includes a belt drive unit, and the feeding motor drives the belt drive unit for conveying.

[0053] In this embodiment, there are two of each of the feeding device 3 and the unloading device 5.

[0054] In this embodiment, a control cabinet is also included. The feeding device 3, the conveying unit 104, the transfer vehicle 103, the transport vehicle 702, the outbound device 5, and the feeding unit are all electrically connected to the control cabinet. The settings of the sensors are the same as those in the patent authorization announcement number CN115489955B, "An Intelligent Window Frame Storage System and Window Frame Storage Method".

[0055] Example 3

[0056] This embodiment provides a frame and fan transfer method, which adopts the large-capacity frame and fan storage system of Embodiment 2. The frame and fan transfer method includes an outbound method and an inbound method. The outbound method includes the following steps:

[0057] S101: After the feeding device 3 carries the window sash or window frame, the corresponding conveying unit 104 of the storage device 1 transfers the window frame or window sash to the maintenance bracket 102 where the conveying unit 104 is located.

[0058] S102: After the transport vehicle 702 moves to the maintenance bracket 102 where the corresponding conveying unit 104 of the storage device 1 is located, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the rack 701 with the cooperation of the conveying unit 104.

[0059] S103: After both the transport vehicle 702 and the transfer vehicle 103 move to the designated empty maintenance bracket 102, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the designated maintenance bracket 102 with the assistance of the transfer vehicle 103. The designated maintenance bracket 102 does not include the maintenance bracket 102 where the conveying unit 104 is located or the maintenance bracket 102 opposite to the temporary storage bracket.

[0060] The data entry method includes the following steps:

[0061] S201: The transport vehicle 702 moves to the maintenance bracket 102 where the window frame or sash to be shipped is located, and with the assistance of the transfer vehicle 103, the window frame or sash is transferred to the rack 701.

[0062] S202: The transport vehicle 702 moves to the maintenance bracket 102 where the corresponding conveying unit 104 is located on the storage device 2, and with the assistance of the conveying unit 104, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the maintenance bracket 102.

[0063] S203: Under the coordinated action of the corresponding conveying unit 104 of the storage device 2 and the outbound device 5, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the outbound device 5.

[0064] In this embodiment, through the function of the conveying unit 104, the storage device 1 and the storage device 2 can independently realize the transfer of window frames or window sashes between the maintenance bracket 102 and the carrying rack 701, between the maintenance bracket 102 and the loading device 3, and between the maintenance bracket 102 and the outgoing device 5, without relying entirely on the transport device 7 and waiting for the transfer vehicle 103 to move into place. This improves the transfer efficiency of window frames and window sashes at the loading point and the outgoing point. At the same time, the storage device 1 and the storage device 2 can share the transport device 7, reducing the equipment cost of outgoing and ingoing.

[0065] In the warehousing method of this method, during the transfer process between the feeding device 3 and the conveying unit 104, the transport vehicle 702 can simultaneously move to the location of the corresponding conveying unit 104 to wait for the transfer, reducing the time that the conveying unit 104 waits for the transport vehicle 702. Similarly, during the transfer and movement of the conveying unit 104 and the transport vehicle 702, the transfer vehicle 103 can simultaneously move to the designated empty maintenance bracket 102 and lift it to wait for the window frame or window sash, reducing the time that the transport vehicle 702 waits for the transfer vehicle 103 and further improving efficiency.

[0066] In the warehousing method, when a window frame or window sash is being transferred out of the maintenance bracket 102 where the conveying unit 104 of storage device 2 is located, and there are other window frames or window sashes that need to be removed from the warehouse, the transport vehicle 702 moves to the corresponding maintenance bracket 102. With the assistance of the transfer vehicle 103 of storage device 2, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the carrying rack 701. Then, it moves to the empty maintenance bracket 102 opposite to the temporary storage rack. With the assistance of the transfer vehicle 103 of storage device 2, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the corresponding maintenance bracket 102. Finally, with the assistance of the feeding unit, the window frame or window sash is transferred to the temporary storage rack. Through the coordinated action of the transport vehicle 702, the transfer vehicle 103, and the feeding component, the two discharge ports of this system can discharge simultaneously, improving the warehousing efficiency and avoiding the inability to warehousing due to system warehousing congestion, which would cause the production line to stop.

[0067] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0068] 1. By providing a conveying unit 104 to the maintenance bracket 102 in this storage device, the storage device can have the function of transferring window frames or window sashes. When carrying out outbound and inbound operations, it can independently transfer window frames and window sashes without relying on the transport vehicle 702 in the prior art. This allows the transport vehicle 702 to only have the function of transferring between different maintenance brackets 102, reducing the workload of the transport vehicle 702 and improving the independence of the storage device's function. As a result, it can be ensured that no additional transport device 7 is needed when expanding the capacity, reducing cost and space requirements, and reducing the difficulty of expansion.

[0069] 2. By driving multiple idler rollers 106 through a single transmission motor 105, the synchronicity of the rotation and conveying of multiple idler rollers 106 can be ensured, and the conveying unit 104 can be guaranteed not to tilt or cause collision interference when conveying window frames or window sashes.

[0070] 3. By setting up a transfer vehicle 103, it is possible to avoid setting up a large number of conveying units 104 for this storage device. Multiple maintenance brackets 102 can share one transfer vehicle 103 for the transfer of window frames or window sashes, which further reduces the expansion cost. At the same time, compared with the existing technology where all maintenance brackets 102 share one transfer vehicle 103 without setting up conveying units 104, the transfer vehicle 103 does not need to move to the loading position to assist in loading, which can greatly reduce the workload of the transfer vehicle 103 and improve the transfer efficiency.

[0071] 4. By setting up two frame storage devices, the storage capacity of the storage system is greatly increased, and only one transportation device 7 is set up, which reduces the investment cost, reduces the workload of the transfer vehicle 103, shortens the waiting time, and greatly improves the work efficiency.

[0072] 5. By setting up a temporary storage device 6, it is equivalent to setting up an outlet for this system other than the conveying unit 104, which increases the outbound efficiency of this system and avoids causing a lot of outbound backlog, which affects the inbound efficiency.

[0073] 6. Through the function of the conveying unit 104, the storage device 1 and the storage device 2 can independently realize the transfer of window frames or window sashes between the maintenance bracket 102 and the loading rack 701, between the maintenance bracket 102 and the loading device 3, and between the maintenance bracket 102 and the outbound device 5, without relying entirely on the transport device 7 and waiting for the transfer vehicle 103 to move into place, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of window frames and window sashes at the loading point and the outbound point. At the same time, the storage device 1 and the storage device 2 can share the transport device 7, reducing the equipment cost of outbound and inbound.

[0074] 7. Through the coordinated action of transport vehicle 702, transfer vehicle 103 and feeding components, the system can simultaneously discharge materials from both outlets, improving outbound efficiency and avoiding outbound congestion that could prevent inbound materials and cause production line shutdown.
