Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent warehousing equipment technology, specifically to an automated warehouse rack. Background Technology

[0002] Warehouse racking is a storage device based on the six basic functions of logistics: packaging, transportation, loading and unloading, sorting, and information management. With the continuous development of the warehouse racking industry, more and more industries and enterprises are using warehouse racking, and more and more companies are entering the warehousing industry. Serving friends from all walks of life, racking is one of the main facilities in warehousing. It can be said that racking is an indispensable component of modern industrial warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution centers. When placing goods, the goods to be stored need to be transported to the telescopic forks of the rail-guided vehicle through the flow channel and conveyor equipment. Then, the telescopic forks and goods are lifted to one side of the corresponding rack by the vertical lift. Finally, the telescopic forks transport the goods to the rack and place them. When retrieving goods, the telescopic forks and the vertical lift work together to remove the goods from the rack. However, traditional warehouse racking has the following problems: To facilitate the movement of the telescopic forks for picking up and placing goods, the bottom of the rack is designed with a hollow area to allow the telescopic forks to pass through. On both sides of the hollow area, there is a set of support components to support the bottom of the goods. This set of support components is usually fixed, meaning that the two... The non-adjustable spacing between shelves means that they can only store goods of similar width, and cannot store goods with significantly different widths. This leads to multiple shelves in the same area being idle when there is insufficient stock of goods of the same size, resulting in a waste of warehousing resources. If the shelf supports were designed with adjustable spacing, it would mean that each shelf would need to be equipped with an independent drive unit to control the spacing of the support components. Since vertical storage requires a large number of shelves, installing independent drive units for each would be a significant expense, greatly increasing warehousing costs. There is a lack of equipment that can automatically adjust the spacing of the shelf support components according to the width of the goods before they are placed on the shelf, to accommodate goods of different sizes, without the need for independent drive units on the shelves, thereby saving warehousing costs and maximizing the utilization of warehousing resources.

[0017] The method of use and advantages of this invention: The working process of this automated warehouse rack is as follows: like Figures 1 to 15As shown, when this device is in use, the goods to be stored are first placed on the telescopic fork 52 by the conveying equipment. At the moment of placement, the weight sensor 53 installed on the telescopic fork 52 senses the weight and undergoes a slight deformation under the weight pressure. This causes the strain gauge to produce a physical quantity change, which is converted into an electrical signal proportional to the weight and transmitted to the drive motor 542 in the drive assembly 54. The drive motor 542 is controlled to start automatically, driving the first gear 541 to rotate, which in turn drives the first toothed rod 543 and the second gear rod to slide synchronously towards the opposite side. This causes the two stop rods 560, which respectively abut against the first actuating rod 545 and the second actuating rod 546, to move synchronously towards both sides of the goods until the two stop rods... The side end of 560 contacts both sides of the goods, and the operation of the drive motor 542 is terminated under the action of the pressure sensor. During this process, as the stop rod 560 slides, the third toothed rod 553 moves accordingly, driving the second gear 557 to rotate a certain number of times and then stop. The width of the goods is recorded by the number of rotations of the second gear 557. After the recording is completed, the docking assembly 51 is controlled to work, and the electric push rod 513 starts to drive the docking block 512 to move towards the corresponding shelf compartment 3 until the first docking shaft 555 at the second gear 557 and the second docking shaft 574 at the lower end of the shelf compartment 3 are docked and engaged through the docking groove 556 and the docking protrusion 575. At this time, as the docking block 512 continues to move, the first docking shaft 555 at the second gear 557 and the second docking shaft 574 at the lower end of the shelf compartment 3 are docked and engaged through the docking groove 556 and the docking protrusion 575. A trigger block contacts the second trigger block and compresses the first trigger block, causing the hinge frame 559 to rise. This controls the two stop rods 560 to be misaligned with the first actuating rod 545 and the second actuating rod 546, respectively. Under the action of the first spring 552, the two third toothed rods 553 slide back to their initial positions towards the inside of the sliding frame 551. During the reset process, the first docking shaft 555 and the second docking shaft 574 drive the third gear 576, which has the same diameter as the second gear 557, to rotate synchronously and in the same number of revolutions. This causes the support member 572, which meshes with the third gear 576, to slide towards the lower outer side of the shelf compartment 3, and the sliding distance is the same as the sliding distance of the stop rod 560. This, in turn, increases the distance between the two support members 572. The system automatically adjusts to a position that accommodates and supports the width of the current goods. The ratchet 577 and the third gear 576 rotate synchronously, and the ratchet 577 is locked in place by the ratchet bar 578 to prevent it from rotating in the opposite direction. This locks the position of the two support members 572. Then, the telescopic forks 52 are controlled to transport the goods to the inside of the rack compartment 3 and support them with the two support members 572. This completes the loading process. In this way, the spacing of the rack support members is automatically adjusted according to the width of the current goods before the goods are placed on the rack to accommodate goods of different sizes. There is no need to set up independent drive components on the rack, thereby saving warehousing costs and maximizing the utilization of warehousing resources. After the goods are removed from the telescopic fork 52 and placed inside the shelf compartment 3 for storage, the weight sensor 53 on the telescopic fork 52 loses pressure, causing the strain gauge to generate a physical quantity change and convert it into an electrical signal proportional to the weight, which is transmitted to the drive motor 542 in the drive assembly 54. This causes the output end of the drive motor 542 to rotate, controlling the first actuating lever 545 and the second actuating lever 546 to reset. During the reset process, with the cooperation of the limiting rotation groove 561 and the limiting member 562, the stop rod 560 is driven to deflect counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that the first actuating lever 545 and the second actuating lever 546 are displaced from the stop rod 560 again during the reset process, so that they can reset to their original positions for the next loading or unloading operation. When a pickup operation is required, since the first actuating lever 545 and the second actuating lever 546 have returned to their initial positions, the trigger toothed lever 547 and the second bevel gear 582 are in a corresponding position. First, the telescopic fork 52 is controlled by the docking assembly 51 to approach the goods to be picked up, and the trigger toothed lever 547 engages with the lower part of the second bevel gear 582. At this time, the telescopic fork 52 extends to support the bottom of the goods to be picked up. Then, the electric push rod 513 triggers the toothed lever 547 to continue moving, driving the second bevel gear 582 and its meshing mechanism. The first bevel gear 581 rotates, causing the ratchet bar 578 to deflect away from the ratchet 577. The ratchet 577 loses its resistance and rotates back to its original position under the action of the coil spring. This allows the support member 572 to return to its initial position under the rotation of the third gear 576. Finally, the goods are controlled to move away from the current shelf compartment 3 by the cooperation of the docking assembly 51 and the telescopic fork 52, thus completing the picking operation. At the same time, the support member 572 of the shelf compartment 3 is controlled to return to the initial width setting position while picking up the goods, so as to facilitate the subsequent support of goods of different widths.
