[0030] In the embodiment, the bulk automatic port can be set as an inlet according to actual needs, and correspondingly, the bulk material manual port 12 and the bulk material automatic port 13 are outlet ports; of course, the bulk automatic port can also be used as an outlet, and the bulk material manual port 12 and the bulk material automatic port 13 are used as inlet ports; so as to match the operation of different demand production activities.

[0031] The rack 1 is circumferentially and top-surface-surroundingly provided with a protective shell 11, and the bulk material manual port 12, the bulk material automatic port 13, and the bulk automatic port pass through the protective shell 11 to facilitate material in-out operation.

[0032] In the embodiment, the protective shell 11 is used to isolate the intelligent storage device from external production activities to form a relatively independent storage and transfer space, thereby improving the integration degree.

[0033] In actual production activities, multiple relatively independent intelligent storage devices can be orderly arranged according to actual needs to improve and guarantee the storage and transfer requirements in production activities, thereby improving efficiency and guaranteeing space utilization.

[0034] The storage vertical library 8 is orderly provided with multiple storage positions, one of which is used for temporarily placing materials 10 to form a bulk material manual port 12, thereby facilitating manual taking operation.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the single storage site is supported by the oppositely arranged support 81 respectively.

[0036] In Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the support 81 is L-shaped in cross section, and the oppositely arranged support 81 reliably supports the material 10 and facilitates the carrying operation of the carrying mechanism 7.

[0037] In actual operation, other support structures can also be used in the storage site to store and support the material 10.

[0038] The translation mechanism 6 includes a moving guide rail arranged between the two storage stands 8 and parallel to each other, a rack is arranged between the moving guide rails, the bottom of the carrying mechanism 7 is slidingly fitted on the moving guide rail, a gear is rotatably installed on the bottom of the carrying mechanism 7 and engaged with the rack, the gear is driven to rotate by a motor, and the carrying mechanism 7 is driven to move along the moving guide rail through the engagement of the gear and the rack.

[0039] As Figure 5 shown, the structure of the carrying mechanism 7 is: including a base 71, a support frame 73 is installed on the top surface of the base 71, a lifting seat 75 is slidingly fitted on the lifting mechanism 72 on the side surface of the support frame 73, a horizontal moving seat 76 is slidingly fitted on the side surface of the lifting seat 75 through the horizontal moving driving power 79, a rotating seat 78 is rotatably installed on the top surface of the horizontal moving seat 76 through the rotating driving power 77, and the rotating seat 78 extends laterally towards one side to form a material fork 70 supporting the carried material 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, the carrying mechanism 7 in combination with the translation mechanism 6 realizes the space operation of matching the two storage stands 8 for feeding and discharging.

[0041] In this embodiment, the motor in the translation mechanism 6 drives the carrying mechanism 7 to move along the moving guide rail towards or away from the automatic conveying mechanism 5; the lifting mechanism 72 adjusts the height of the material fork 70, the horizontal moving driving power 79 drives the material fork 70 to approach or move away from the side storage stand 8, and the rotating driving power 77 switches the horizontal orientation of the material fork 70, such as between the orientations of the two storage stands 8 and the automatic conveying mechanism 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 72 can be a belt conveying mechanism driven by a motor, which drives the lifting seat 75 to move up and down through the transmission of the vertically arranged belt and the sliding fit between the guide rail 74 on the support frame 73 and the lifting seat 75.

[0043] In this embodiment, the horizontal moving driving power 79 can be a general linear driving power, such as a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder, an electric cylinder, etc., or a linear module, which can drive the horizontal moving seat 76 to move horizontally.

[0047] In this embodiment, not only can the material be transported into and out of the warehouse via the transport mechanism 7, but also visual cameras and other means can be used to identify and detect the material during the transport process, and to determine whether the material is qualified or not.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the automatic conveying mechanism 5 has the following structure: it includes a support 51, and conveying transmission components 53 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the top of the support 51. The material 10 is supported by the conveying transmission components 53 and is moved inward or outward relative to the frame 1.

Two sets of wheel sets 536 are arranged on both sides of the bracket 51. Each set of wheel sets 536 and the corresponding drive wheel 534 are wound with a conveyor belt 535. The top surface of the conveyor belts 535 on both sides moves along the length direction of both sides of the bracket 51 to form the conveying of the material 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, the wheel set 536 can be configured as needed, for example, multiple sets can be configured along the length of the support 51 to help support the structure during material conveying 10; multiple driven wheels, tension wheels, etc. can be configured in the wheel set 536 as needed to ensure reliable conveying of the conveyor belt 535.

[0053] As Figure 8 shown, the bottom surface of the carrying rack 4 is supported by the spaced-apart supports 2, and the spacing width between the supports 2 is adapted to the access of the carrying trolley 3 to facilitate the automated batch feeding and discharging operation by the carrying trolley 3.

[0059] The process of moving the carrying rack 4 on the support 2 away by the carrying trolley 3 is opposite to the process of placing the carrying rack 4 on the support 2 by the carrying trolley 3.

[0060] In the embodiment, the carrying trolley 3 can be selected from the existing standard AGV trolley, and the top surface of the trolley can be lifted and support the carrying rack 4.
