Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated warehouse technology, specifically an automated warehouse for pipe storage. Background Technology

[0002] Pipes are steel materials with a hollow cross-section and a length much greater than their diameter or circumference (they can also be made of other materials such as plastics and ceramics). They are widely used in many fields such as water conservancy, construction, machinery, petroleum, chemical industry, and power.

[0003] The automated storage and retrieval system for pipes is an intelligent warehousing system designed for pipes (especially those that are long, heavy, and multi-specification). By integrating automated racking, automated storage and retrieval equipment, intelligent control systems, and information management technologies, it achieves high-density storage, automated retrieval, and refined management of pipes.

[0004] A patent application with publication number CN119240208A discloses an automated three-dimensional warehouse system for pipe storage. The system includes effectively sealing both ends of the pipes during storage to prevent the intrusion of moisture and humidity, thereby reducing the risk of surface corrosion and extending the service life of the pipes. The system also features self-adjusting opening and closing of the storage opening during the storage and retrieval process, which greatly improves the storage efficiency of the pipes and prevents deformation of the pipes due to external pressure or impact during storage, ensuring that the pipes maintain their original shape and performance.

[0005] In current technologies, when storing pipes, which are mostly cylindrical, they are often stored in parallel. When stacked, they mainly rely on stacking friction or gravity to maintain stability. When retrieving single or multiple loose pipes, there will inevitably be some lateral pulling or slight collisions. These phenomena will disrupt the original balance of the surrounding pipes. If the surrounding pipes are not effectively fixed, the pipes may roll, tilt, or even fall due to loss of support. This is not only detrimental to the pipe retrieval operation, but may also pose certain safety risks.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides an automated three-dimensional warehouse for pipe storage. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: The present invention provides an automated three-dimensional storage warehouse for pipes, including a warehouse body, the number of warehouse bodies being multiple, the internal structure of the multiple warehouse bodies being identical, the bottom of the multiple warehouse bodies being symmetrically fixedly equipped with foot blocks, the bottom center of the multiple warehouse bodies being provided with a storage platform, the inside of the warehouse body being provided with multiple pipe storage boxes, the inside of the multiple pipe storage boxes being used to place pipes, the multiple pipe storage boxes being able to be placed at the top center of the storage platform, the inside of the warehouse body being provided with a moving component, the moving component being used to move and store the multiple pipe storage boxes within the warehouse body, the inner wall of the multiple pipe storage boxes being fixedly installed with pipe retrieval boxes, the inside of the multiple pipe retrieval boxes being symmetrically provided with pipe retrieval components, the pipe retrieval components including an upper push plate and a lower connecting plate, the pipe retrieval components being used to drive the upper push plate and the lower connecting plate to retrieve the pipes from the pipe storage boxes; When pipes need to be retrieved, the system verifies the size of the pipes to be retrieved. The system then drives the moving component within the corresponding compartment to rotate the storage box and place it on top of the shelf. Once the storage box is on top, the number of pipes to be retrieved is determined. The system then drives the pipe-retrieving component within the storage box to operate the upper and lower plates. The upper and lower plates work together to retrieve the pipes stored in the storage box, thus enabling the retrieval of bulk pipes. By storing the pipes inside the storage box and then using the retrieval and moving components in conjunction, compared to the traditional parallel storage method, the system avoids the pipes rolling, tilting, or even falling due to loss of support during bulk retrieval, thus facilitating pipe retrieval and storage operations.

[0009] Preferably, the tube-retrieving assembly further includes two toothed rods. One end of each toothed rod is fixedly connected to one side of the lower connecting plate and the upper push plate, respectively. The outer walls of both the lower connecting plate and the upper push plate are slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube-retrieving box. Limiting plates are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the tube-retrieving box. The outer walls of the two limiting plates are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two toothed rods, respectively. A motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tube-retrieving box, and a gear shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. The two toothed rods are respectively positioned on one side of the gear shaft, and the teeth on both toothed rods mesh with the teeth on the gear shaft. The top of the tube-retrieving box is inclined, allowing the outer wall of the tube to... The upper push plate is slidably connected to the top of the tube retrieval box. One end of the upper push plate is beveled. The tops of both the lower and upper push plates can contact the outer wall of the tube. The lower plate has a reading component inside. When the tube needs to be retrieved from the storage box, the tube placed in the storage box will roll along the top of the tube retrieval box into the flow cavity between the tube retrieval box and the storage box due to inertial force. When the tube moves into the flow cavity between the tube retrieval box and the storage box, the drive motor drives the gear shaft to rotate. The gear shaft will mesh and drive two gear rods to move relative to each other. One of the gear rods will then drive the upper push plate to rotate. The push plate moves between the storage box and the retrieval box, and another rack moves the lower connecting plate out from between them. The bottom of the pipe placed between the storage box and the retrieval box is then suspended in mid-air, allowing it to slide down the flow path into the cavity at the bottom of the storage box. Then, by reversing the motor, the two racks exchange positions with the lower connecting plate and the upper push plate. The upper push plate moves away from between the storage box and the retrieval box, and the lower connecting plate moves back down. The pipe inside the storage box then slides down the flow path between the storage box and the retrieval box. The pipe falls to the top of the lower plate, thus blocking the pipes in the storage box. By repeating the above operation, the pipes in the storage box can be continuously removed. This method of removing pipes, combined with the reading component to continuously calculate the number of pipes falling onto the lower plate, allows for control of the number of pipes flowing out during removal. Compared to directly removing pipes from the storage box, the number of pipes removed can be verified and calculated, saving subsequent calculation work and making the removal of pipes more convenient.

[0010] Preferably, a straightening plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube retrieval box. The bottom and top ends of the straightening plate are both beveled. The top end of the straightening plate is flush with the top of the tube retrieval box. The outer wall of the push plate is slidably connected to the bottom end of the straightening plate. Multiple straightening springs are symmetrically arranged between the two sides of the straightening plate and the inner wall of the tube retrieval box. When the push plate moves between the storage box and the tube retrieval box, the push plate will push the straightening plate to pull the straightening springs out of the tube retrieval box. This allows the straightening plate to push the tube between the storage box and the tube retrieval box from inside the storage box. This prevents the tube from getting stuck at the flow channel opening between the storage box and the tube retrieval box due to the inertia of the tube as it slides down and rolls. This prevents the tube from sliding between the storage box and the tube retrieval box, thus promoting the movement of the tube and preventing the tube from getting stuck at the flow channel opening.

[0011] Preferably, the reading component includes a sensor, which is fixedly installed inside the lower plate. A support plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lower plate. Multiple pressure springs are symmetrically arranged between the bottom of the support plate and the inner wall of the lower plate. The bottom of the support plate can fit and contact the top of the sensor. When the upper push plate moves into the tube retrieval box and the lower plate moves between the tube retrieval box and the tube storage box, the tubes originally placed on top of the upper push plate will lose their restraint and fall to the top of the lower plate. The tubes will then press against the support plate inside the lower plate due to gravity. The support plate will then press against the pressure springs due to gravity and move towards the sensor. The sensor will then transmit information back to the system, thereby enabling the system to calculate the number of tubes that have fallen, thus playing the role of calculating the number of tubes that have fallen.

[0012] Preferably, the moving component includes two slide rails, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the compartment. A toothed chain belt slidably connects the two slide rails. Multiple rotary cylinders are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the compartment. Each rotary cylinder has a drive gear fixedly installed at its output end. The drive gears are all located inside the toothed chain belt, and the teeth on the drive gears mesh with the teeth on the toothed chain belt. A hinge assembly is provided between the multiple storage boxes and the toothed chain belt. When it is necessary to move the storage boxes out of the compartment, the rotary cylinders are driven... The cylinder drives the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed chain belt to rotate between two slide rails through tooth meshing. The toothed chain belt then drives multiple storage boxes to rotate within the storage compartment via the hinge assembly, thereby causing the toothed chain belt to rotate and move the storage boxes out of the storage compartment. This method of moving and storing the storage boxes within the storage compartment is more efficient than the traditional method of stacking and storing pipes.

[0013] Preferably, the hinge assembly includes a hanging shaft, which is fixedly installed on the top of the storage box. Vertical rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the hanging shaft. One end of each vertical rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the toothed chain belt. When the toothed chain belt rotates, it drives multiple vertical rods to rotate, thereby causing multiple vertical rods to drive multiple storage boxes to rotate within the storage chamber via the hanging shaft. Through the rotational arrangement between the vertical rods and the hanging shaft, when the storage box rotates within the storage chamber, its own weight ensures that the storage box remains vertically upright during movement. This makes the movement of the pipes stored in the storage box more stable and facilitates its movement within the storage chamber, thus stabilizing the storage box itself during movement.

[0014] Preferably, symmetrical sliding rods are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage box. Rectangular blocks are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding rods. A locking rope is set between the two rectangular blocks. The outer walls of the two rectangular blocks are slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage box. The outer walls of the rectangular blocks can fit in close contact with the outer wall of the pipe. When the pipe is placed in the storage box, the rectangular blocks will slide on the sliding rods due to gravity. The rectangular blocks will drive the locking rope to move in the storage box. Thus, the locking rope binds the pipe placed in the storage box through the pulling of the rectangular blocks, preventing the pipe placed in the storage box from tilting or shaking due to the inertia of movement when the storage box is moved, thereby stabilizing the pipe in the storage box.

[0015] Preferably, a door is hinged to one side of the storage box, and the outer wall of the door can slide to the inner wall of the storage box. Ring-shaped toothed blocks are fixedly installed at both ends of the door, and racks are symmetrically slidably connected to the outer wall of the door. The teeth on the two racks mesh with the teeth on the two ring-shaped toothed blocks. When pipes need to be stored in the storage box, the storage box is moved to the top of the shelf, and the two racks are pushed to move. The meshing teeth on the racks drive the two ring-shaped toothed blocks to rotate, which in turn opens the door from one side of the storage box, providing a base for the pipes to be placed inside and serving the purpose of opening the door.

[0016] Preferably, two plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage box. The outer walls of the two racks are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple plates. A return spring is provided between the inner side of one plate and the outer wall of the rack. A push block is fixedly installed at one end of each rack. One side of each push block is opened as an inclined surface. When the rack is pushed to move, the push block is pushed to move, which in turn pushes the rack between the two plates, pulling the return spring to move. The rack then pushes the annular toothed block to rotate, thereby opening the box door on one side of the storage box. When the pipes are stored, the push block is stopped, and the return spring will elastically pull the rack to return to its original position. The rack will then drive the annular toothed block to rotate and return to its original position, thereby rotating and closing the box door on one side of the storage box, achieving the function of automatically closing the box door when the pipes are stored.

[0017] Preferably, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage platform, and a shift plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A push block rod and a push rod are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the shift plate. The top ends of the two push blocks can respectively contact the bottom ends of the two rectangular blocks, and the outer walls of the two push rods can respectively slide with the two push blocks. When the box door needs to be opened, the hydraulic cylinder drives the push rod to move upward from inside the storage platform through the shift plate. The push rod then extends from inside the storage platform to push the push block, thereby causing the push block to move the rack. The rack then pushes the annular toothed block to open the box door, providing power for the movement of the push block. As the shift plate moves upward, it also drives the push block rod upward, pushing the rectangular block on the sliding rod to push it back to the top position of the sliding rod. This prevents the locking rope from being placed inside the storage box and affecting the storage and assembly of the pipes inside, thus ensuring the locking rope is reset when the pipes are stored.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The automated three-dimensional storage silo for pipes described in this invention uses a drive motor to rotate a gear shaft. The gear shaft meshes with teeth, causing two gear rods to move relative to each other. One gear rod moves an upper push plate between the storage box and the retrieval box, while the other gear rod moves a lower connecting plate out from between the storage box and the retrieval box. The bottom of the pipe placed between the storage box and the retrieval box is then suspended in mid-air, allowing the pipe to slide along the flow channel between the storage box and the retrieval box into the cavity at the bottom of the storage box, thus retrieval the pipe from the storage box.

[0019] 2. The automated three-dimensional storage silo for pipes described in this invention, when the push plate moves between the storage box and the retrieval box, pushes the positioning plate to pull the positioning spring out from the inside of the retrieval box. This allows the positioning plate to push the pipes between the storage box and the retrieval box from inside the storage box, preventing the pipes in the storage box from getting stuck at the flow channel opening between the storage box and the retrieval box due to inertia when sliding down and rolling. This prevents the pipes from sliding between the storage box and the retrieval box, thus promoting the movement of the pipes and preventing them from getting stuck at the flow channel opening.

[0020] 3. The automated three-dimensional storage silo for pipes described in this invention, when the upper push plate moves into the pipe retrieval box and the lower connecting plate moves between the pipe retrieval box and the storage box, the pipes originally placed on top of the upper push plate will lose their restraint and fall onto the top of the lower connecting plate. The pipes will then be compressed by gravity against the support plate inside the lower connecting plate. The support plate will then move towards the sensor by the pressure spring due to gravity. The sensor will then transmit information back to the system, thereby enabling the system to calculate the number of pipes that have fallen, thus serving the purpose of calculating the number of pipes that have fallen.

[0021] 4. The automated three-dimensional storage warehouse for pipes described in this invention uses a drive cylinder to rotate a drive gear. The drive gear, through tooth meshing, drives a toothed chain belt to rotate between two slide rails. The toothed chain belt, through a hinge assembly, drives multiple storage boxes to rotate within the warehouse, thereby causing the toothed chain belt to rotate and move the storage boxes out of the warehouse. This method facilitates the movement, retrieval, and storage of storage boxes within the warehouse. Compared to the traditional method of moving and storing pipes by stacking, this method allows for better movement of pipes.

[0022] 5. The automated three-dimensional storage warehouse for pipes described in this invention, when the pipes are placed in the storage box, the rectangular block slides on the limiting rod under gravity, and the rectangular block drives the locking rope to move inside the storage box. Thus, the locking rope binds the pipes placed in the storage box by pulling the rectangular block, preventing the pipes placed in the storage box from tilting or shaking due to the inertia of movement when the storage box is moved, thereby stabilizing the pipes inside the storage box.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 12As shown in the figure, an automated three-dimensional storage warehouse for pipes according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a warehouse body 1, and there are multiple warehouse bodies 1. The internal structure of the multiple warehouse bodies 1 is the same. The bottom of each of the multiple warehouse bodies 1 is symmetrically fixedly installed with foot blocks 3. The bottom center of each of the multiple warehouse bodies 1 is provided with a platform 2. Multiple storage boxes 4 are provided inside the warehouse body 1. The storage boxes 4 are used to place pipes. Each of the multiple storage boxes 4 can be placed at the top center of the platform 2. The warehouse body 1 is provided with a moving component. The moving component is used to move and store the multiple storage boxes 4 within the warehouse body 1. The inner wall of each of the multiple storage boxes 4 is fixedly installed with a pipe retrieval box 7. The inside of each of the multiple pipe retrieval boxes 7 is symmetrically provided with a pipe retrieval component. The pipe retrieval component includes an upper push plate 9 and a lower connecting plate 8. The pipe retrieval component is used to drive the upper push plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 8 to retrieve the pipes from the storage boxes 4. Since the stability of stacked pipes is mainly maintained by the friction of stacking or gravity, when removing single or multiple loose pipes, there will inevitably be some lateral pulling or slight collision. These phenomena will disrupt the original balance of the surrounding pipes. If the surrounding pipes are not effectively fixed, the pipes may roll, tilt or even fall due to loss of support. This is not only not conducive to the pipe removal operation, but may also pose certain safety risks. When pipes need to be retrieved, the system verifies the size of the pipes to be retrieved. Then, the system drives the moving component in the corresponding compartment 1 to operate. The moving component drives the storage box 4 to rotate in the compartment 1 and finally place it on the top of the shelf 2. When the moving component drives the storage box 4 to the top of the shelf 2, the number of pipes to be retrieved is determined. Then, the pipe retrieval component in the storage box 4 drives the upper push plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 8 to operate. Thus, the upper push plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 8 cooperate to retrieve the pipes stored in the storage box 4, thereby realizing the retrieval operation of loose pipes. By storing the pipes inside the storage box 4, and then operating them through the cooperation of the pipe retrieval component and the moving component, compared with the traditional parallel arrangement of storage, it can avoid the phenomenon of pipes rolling, tilting or even falling due to loss of support when retrieving loose materials, which can better facilitate the retrieval and storage of pipes.

[0028] like Figures 7 to 12As shown, the tube-retrieving assembly also includes two toothed rods 703. One end of each toothed rod 703 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower connecting plate 8 and the upper push plate 9, respectively. The outer walls of the lower connecting plate 8 and the upper push plate 9 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube-retrieving box 7. Limiting plates 10 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the tube-retrieving box 7. The outer walls of the two limiting plates 10 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two toothed rods 703, respectively. A motor 701 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tube-retrieving box 7. A gear shaft 702 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 701. The two toothed rods 703 are respectively placed on one side of the gear shaft 702, and the teeth on the two toothed rods 703 mesh with the teeth on the gear shaft 702. The top of the tube-retrieving box 7 is inclined, and the outer wall of the tube can be slidably connected to the top of the tube-retrieving box 7. One end of the upper push plate 9 is opened as an inclined surface, and the tops of the lower connecting plate 8 and the upper push plate 9 can be in close contact with the outer wall of the tube. A reading component is provided inside the lower connecting plate 8. When it is necessary to remove the pipe from the storage box 4, the pipe placed in the storage box 4 will roll along the top of the retrieval box 7 towards the flow cavity between the retrieval box 7 and the storage box 4 due to inertial working force. When the pipe moves into the flow cavity between the retrieval box 7 and the storage box 4, the drive motor 701 drives the gear shaft 702 to rotate. The gear shaft 702 will then mesh with teeth to drive the two gears 703 to move relative to each other. One gear 703 will drive the upper push plate 9 to move between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, and the other gear 703 will move relative to the upper push plate 9. 3 will cause the lower connecting plate 8 to move out from between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7. The bottom of the pipe placed between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 will then be suspended in the air. The pipe will then slide along the flow channel between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 into the cavity at the bottom of the storage box 4. Subsequently, by controlling the motor 701 to reverse, the two gears 703 will drive the lower connecting plate 8 and the upper push plate 9 to exchange positions. The upper push plate 9 will move away from between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, and the lower connecting plate 8 will move back to between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7. The tubing will then flow down the channel between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 to the top of the lower receiving plate 8, thus blocking the tubing in the storage box 4. By repeating the above operation, the tubing in the storage box 4 can be continuously retrieved, effectively removing the tubing from the storage box 4. This method of tubing retrieval, combined with the reading component continuously calculating the number of tubing falling onto the lower receiving plate 8, allows for control over the number of tubing flowing out during retrieval. Compared to directly removing the tubing from the storage box 4, this method allows for more precise control over the number of tubing removed. The quantity is verified and calculated, saving the subsequent calculation of the number of pipes and making it easier to remove the pipes. It should be noted that the distance between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 is the same as the pipe diameter. The flow channel between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 can accommodate two pipes. The distance between the upper push plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 8 is exactly the pipe diameter of one pipe. In the initial state, the lower connecting plate 8 and the upper push plate 9 are positioned such that the upper push plate 9 is placed between the retrieval box 7 and the storage box 4, and the lower connecting plate 8 is placed inside the retrieval box 7.

[0029] like Figures 10 to 11 As shown, a positioning plate 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube retrieval box 7. The bottom and top ends of the positioning plate 11 are both opened as inclined surfaces. The top end of the positioning plate 11 can be flush with the top of the tube retrieval box 7. The outer wall of the push plate 9 can be slidably connected to the bottom end of the positioning plate 11. Multiple positioning springs 1101 are symmetrically arranged between the two sides of the positioning plate 11 and the inner wall of the tube retrieval box 7. When the push plate 9 moves between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, the push plate 9 will push the positioning plate 11 to pull the positioning spring 1101 out of the retrieval box 7. This allows the positioning plate 11 to push the pipe between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 from inside the storage box 4. This prevents the pipe in the storage box 4 from getting stuck at the flow channel opening between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 due to the inertia of movement when it slides down and rolls. This prevents the pipe from sliding between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, thus pushing the pipe to move and preventing the pipe from getting stuck at the flow channel opening.

[0030] like Figures 11 to 12 As shown, the reading assembly includes a sensor 801, which is fixedly installed inside the lower plate 8. A support plate 803 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lower plate 8. Multiple pressure springs 802 are symmetrically arranged between the bottom of the support plate 803 and the inner wall of the lower plate 8. The bottom of the support plate 803 can fit and contact the top of the sensor 801. When the upper push plate 9 moves into the pipe retrieval box 7 and the lower connecting plate 8 moves between the pipe retrieval box 7 and the pipe storage box 4, the pipe originally placed on top of the upper push plate 9 will lose its restraint and fall onto the top of the lower connecting plate 8. The pipe will then be squeezed by gravity against the support plate 803 inside the lower connecting plate 8. The support plate 803 will then be squeezed by gravity against the pressure spring 802 and move into contact with the sensor 801. The sensor 801 will then transmit the information back to the system, so that the system can calculate the number of pipes that have fallen, thus playing the role of calculating the number of pipes that have fallen.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the moving component includes two slide rails 101, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the compartment 1. A toothed chain belt 103 is slidably connected between the two slide rails 101. Multiple rotary cylinders 102 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the compartment 1. Each of the output ends of the multiple rotary cylinders 102 is fixedly installed with a drive gear 104. The multiple drive gears 104 are all placed inside the toothed chain belt 103, and the teeth on the multiple drive gears 104 mesh with the teeth on the toothed chain belt 103. A hinge assembly is provided between the multiple storage boxes 4 and the toothed chain belt 103. When it is necessary to move the storage box 4 out of the storage body 1, the drive cylinder 102 drives the drive gear 104 to rotate. The drive gear 104 then drives the toothed chain belt 103 to rotate between the two slide rails 101 through tooth meshing. The toothed chain belt 103 then drives multiple storage boxes 4 to rotate within the storage body 1 through the hinge assembly, thereby causing the toothed chain belt 103 to rotate and move the storage box 4 out of the storage body 1. This method moves the storage box 4 within the storage body 1 for retrieval and storage. Compared with the traditional method of moving and storing pipes by stacking, this method can move the pipes more effectively.

[0032] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the hinge assembly includes a hanging shaft 402, which is fixedly installed on the top of the storage box 4. Both ends of the hanging shaft 402 are rotatably connected to vertical rods 401, and one end of each vertical rod 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the toothed chain belt 103. When the toothed chain belt 103 rotates, it drives multiple vertical rods 401 to rotate, thereby causing multiple vertical rods 401 to drive multiple storage boxes 4 to rotate and move within the storage body 1 via the lifting shaft 402. Through the rotational arrangement between the vertical rods 401 and the lifting shaft 402, when the storage box 4 rotates within the storage body 1, the weight of the storage box 4 itself ensures that the storage box 4 remains vertically downward during movement, making the movement of the pipes stored in the storage box 4 more stable and facilitating the movement of the storage box 4 within the storage body 1. This also helps to stabilize the storage box 4 itself during movement within the storage body 1.

[0033] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the outer wall of the storage box 4 is symmetrically fixed with limited sliding rods 6. The outer walls of the two limited sliding rods 6 are slidably connected with rectangular blocks 601. A locking rope 602 is provided between the two rectangular blocks 601. The outer walls of the two rectangular blocks 601 are slidably connected with the inner wall of the storage box 4. The outer walls of the rectangular blocks 601 can fit and contact the outer wall of the pipe. When the pipe is placed in the storage box 4, the rectangular block 601 will slide on the sliding rod 6 under gravity. The rectangular block 601 will drive the locking rope 602 to move inside the storage box 4, so that the locking rope 602 will bind the pipe placed in the storage box 4 by pulling the rectangular block 601. This prevents the pipe placed in the storage box 4 from tilting or shaking due to the inertia of movement when the storage box 4 is moved, and plays a role in stabilizing the pipe inside the storage box 4. It should be noted that the rectangular block 601 is a mass block.

[0034] like Figures 4 to 5As shown, a door 5 is hinged to one side of the storage box 4. The outer wall of the door 5 can be slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 4. Both ends of the door 5 are fixedly installed with ring toothed blocks 501. The outer wall of the door 5 is symmetrically slidably connected with racks 502. The teeth on the two racks 502 respectively mesh with the teeth on the two ring toothed blocks 501. When it is necessary to store the pipes in the storage box 4, the storage box 4 is moved to the top of the shelf 2. By pushing the two racks 502, the two racks 502 will drive the two annular tooth blocks 501 to rotate through the meshing of their teeth. The two annular tooth blocks 501 will then drive the box door 5 to open from one side of the storage box 4, providing a storage base for the pipes when they are put in, and serving the purpose of opening the box door 5.

[0035] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, two plates 505 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage box 4. The outer walls of the two racks 502 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple plates 505 respectively. A return spring 503 is provided between the inner side of one of the plates 505 and the outer wall of the rack 502. Push blocks 504 are fixedly installed on one end of each of the two racks 502. One side of each push block 504 is opened as an inclined surface. When the rack 502 is moved, the push block 504 is also moved. The push block 504 then pushes the rack 502 between the two plates 505, pulling the return spring 503 to move. The rack 502 then pushes the annular toothed block 501 to rotate, thereby opening the box door 5 on one side of the storage box 4. When the pipes are stored, the push block 504 is stopped, and the return spring 503 will elastically pull the rack 502 to reset. The rack 502 then drives the annular toothed block 501 to rotate and reset, thereby turning the box door 5 to close on one side of the storage box 4, thus automatically closing the box door 5 when the pipes are stored.

[0036] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder 201 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the platform 2. A shift plate 202 is fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 201. Push rods 204 and push rods 203 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the shift plate 202. The top ends of the two push rods 204 can respectively fit and contact the bottom ends of the two rectangular blocks 601. The outer walls of the two push rods 203 can respectively slide and connect with the two push blocks 504. When the door 5 needs to be opened, the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the push rod 203 to move upward from the storage platform 2 via the shift plate 202. The push rod 203 then extends from the storage platform 2 to push the push block 504, thereby causing the push block 504 to move the rack 502. The rack 502 then pushes the ring tooth block 501 to open the door 5, providing power for the movement of the push block 504. As the shift plate 202 moves upward, it also drives the push rod 204 to move upward together. The push rod 204 then pushes the rectangular block 601 on the sliding rod 6, thereby pushing the rectangular block 601 back to the top position of the sliding rod 6. This prevents the locking rope 602 from being placed inside the storage box 4 and affecting the storage and assembly of the pipes inside the storage box 4, thus restoring the locking rope 602 when the pipes are stored.

[0037] Working principle: When pipes need to be retrieved, the system verifies the size of the pipes to be retrieved. Then, the system drives the moving component in the corresponding compartment 1 to operate. The moving component drives the storage box 4 to rotate in the compartment 1 and finally place it on the top of the shelf 2. When the moving component drives the storage box 4 to the top of the shelf 2, the number of pipes to be retrieved is determined. Then, the pipe retrieval component in the storage box 4 drives the upper push plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 8 to operate. Thus, the upper push plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 8 cooperate to retrieve the pipes stored in the storage box 4, thereby realizing the retrieval of bulk pipes. By storing the pipes inside the storage box 4, and then operating them through the cooperation of the pipe retrieval component and the moving component, compared with the traditional parallel arrangement of storage, it can avoid the phenomenon of pipes rolling, tilting or even falling due to loss of support when retrieving bulk materials. It can better facilitate the retrieval and storage of pipes. When the pipe needs to be removed from the storage box 4, the pipe placed in the storage box 4 will roll along the top of the retrieval box 7 towards the flow cavity between the retrieval box 7 and the storage box 4 due to inertial working force. When the pipe moves into the flow cavity between the retrieval box 7 and the storage box 4, the drive motor 701 drives the gear shaft 702 to rotate. The gear shaft 702 will then mesh with teeth to drive the two gear rods 703 to move relative to each other. One gear rod 703 will drive the upper push plate 9 to move between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, and the other gear rod 703 will drive the lower connecting plate 8 to move out from between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7. The bottom of the pipe placed between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 will then be in a suspended state, and the pipe will slide along the flow channel between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 into the cavity at the bottom of the storage box 4. Then, by controlling the motor 701 to reverse, the two gear rods 703 will... The lower connecting plate 8 and the upper pushing plate 9 are moved to switch positions. The upper pushing plate 9 will then move away from between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, and the lower connecting plate 8 will move back to between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7. The pipes in the storage box 4 will then fall to the top of the lower connecting plate 8 along the flow channel between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, thereby blocking the pipes in the storage box 4. By repeating the above operation, the pipes in the storage box 4 can be continuously retrieved, thus removing the pipes from the storage box 4. By retrieving the pipes in this way, and with the reading component continuously calculating the number of pipes falling onto the lower connecting plate 8, the number of pipes flowing out can be controlled during retrieval. Compared to directly removing the pipes from the storage box 4, the number of pipes retrieved can be verified and calculated, saving subsequent calculation work on the number of pipes and making the retrieval operation more convenient. When the push plate 9 moves between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, the push plate 9 will push the positioning plate 11 to pull the positioning spring 1101 out of the retrieval box 7. This will cause the positioning plate 11 to push the pipe between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 from inside the storage box 4. This will prevent the pipe in the storage box 4 from getting stuck at the flow channel opening between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7 due to the inertia of movement when it slides down and rolls. This will prevent the pipe from sliding between the storage box 4 and the retrieval box 7, thus promoting the movement of the pipe and preventing the pipe from getting stuck at the flow channel opening. When the upper push plate 9 moves into the pipe retrieval box 7 and the lower connecting plate 8 moves between the pipe retrieval box 7 and the pipe storage box 4, the pipe originally placed on top of the upper push plate 9 will lose its restraint and fall to the top of the lower connecting plate 8. The pipe will then be squeezed by gravity against the support plate 803 inside the lower connecting plate 8. The support plate 803 will then be squeezed by gravity against the pressure spring 802 and move to contact the sensor 801. The sensor 801 will transmit the information back to the system, so that the system can calculate the number of pipes that have fallen. When it is necessary to move the storage box 4 out of the storage body 1, the drive cylinder 102 drives the drive gear 104 to rotate. The drive gear 104 then drives the toothed chain belt 103 to rotate between the two slide rails 101 through tooth meshing. The toothed chain belt 103 then drives multiple storage boxes 4 to rotate within the storage body 1 through the hinge assembly, thereby causing the toothed chain belt 103 to rotate and move the storage box 4 out of the storage body 1. This method moves the storage box 4 within the storage body 1 for retrieval and storage. Compared with the traditional method of moving and storing pipes by stacking, this method can move pipes more effectively. When the toothed chain belt 103 rotates, it will drive multiple vertical rods 401 to rotate, thereby causing multiple vertical rods 401 to drive multiple storage boxes 4 to rotate and move within the storage body 1 via the lifting shaft 402. Through the rotational setting between the vertical rods 401 and the lifting shaft 402, when the storage box 4 rotates within the storage body 1, the weight of the storage box 4 itself can keep the storage box 4 in a vertically downward state during movement, making the pipes stored in the storage box 4 more stable during movement, and making it easier for the storage box 4 to move within the storage body 1, thus stabilizing the storage box 4 itself when it moves within the storage body 1. When the pipe is placed in the storage box 4, the rectangular block 601 will slide on the sliding rod 6 by gravity. The rectangular block 601 will drive the locking rope 602 to move inside the storage box 4. The locking rope 602 will bind the pipe placed in the storage box 4 by pulling the rectangular block 601, so as to prevent the pipe placed in the storage box 4 from tilting or shaking due to the inertia of movement when the storage box 4 is moved, thus stabilizing the pipe inside the storage box 4. When it is necessary to store the pipes in the storage box 4, the storage box 4 is moved to the top of the shelf 2. By pushing the two racks 502, the two racks 502 will drive the two ring-shaped blocks 501 to rotate through the meshing of their teeth. The two ring-shaped blocks 501 will then drive the box door 5 to open from one side of the storage box 4, providing a foundation for storing the pipes and serving the purpose of opening the box door 5. When the rack 502 is moved, the push block 504 is also moved. The push block 504 then pushes the rack 502 between the two plates 505, pulling the return spring 503 to move. The rack 502 then pushes the annular toothed block 501 to rotate, thereby opening the box door 5 on one side of the storage box 4. When the pipes are stored, the push block 504 is stopped, and the return spring 503 will elastically pull the rack 502 to return to its original position. The rack 502 then drives the annular toothed block 501 to rotate and return to its original position, thereby turning the box door 5 to close on one side of the storage box 4. This achieves the function of automatically closing the box door 5 when the pipes are stored. When the door 5 needs to be opened, the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the push rod 203 to move upward from the storage platform 2 via the shift plate 202. The push rod 203 then extends from the storage platform 2 to push the push block 504, thereby causing the push block 504 to move the rack 502. The rack 502 then pushes the ring tooth block 501 to open the door 5, providing power for the movement of the push block 504. As the shift plate 202 moves upward, it also drives the push rod 204 to move upward together. The push rod 204 then pushes the rectangular block 601 on the sliding rod 6, thereby pushing the rectangular block 601 back to the top position of the sliding rod 6. This prevents the locking rope 602 from being placed inside the storage box 4 and affecting the storage and assembly of the pipes inside the storage box 4, thus restoring the locking rope 602 when the pipes are stored.
