Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehouse scheduling technology, and more specifically, to a device warehouse scheduling method and a device storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In the storage and circulation of rod-shaped devices, multi-layer tracked storage devices are often used to improve storage density and transfer efficiency. The storage space is expanded through a multi-layer structure, and mechanical components such as lifting and pushing are used to realize the automated storage and retrieval of devices.

[0003] When multiple layers of components are stacked vertically during storage, the lower layer should contain as many components as possible to lower the center of gravity and improve operational stability. However, once the lower layer's tracks are full of components, their reciprocating motion under full load to transfer components between lifting components significantly impacts the lifespan of these lower tracks. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the storage device's center of gravity while extending the lifespan of the lower tracks is a pressing issue. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issue of short service life of lower track due to high loads and high-intensity use, this invention provides a device storage and scheduling method and a device storage device.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a device storage scheduling method, which is applied to a device storage device. The device storage device includes a conveying assembly, a lifting assembly, and a pushing assembly; the conveying assembly includes a conveyor belt and multiple layers of storage belts arranged vertically; the conveyor belt is located below the multiple layers of storage belts; the conveyor belt and the multiple layers of storage belts are arranged at predetermined height intervals; the lifting assembly is located on one side of the conveying assembly in the horizontal direction.

[0006] The device storage and scheduling method includes:

[0007] In response to a feeding command, the conveyor belt is fed to the conveyor belt.

[0008] When the distribution of devices in the conveying assembly meets preset conditions, a target track is determined; wherein, the preset conditions include that the number of devices on each layer of the storage track is greater than or equal to the number of devices on the adjacent upper layer of the storage track; when there is a difference in the storage quantity of multiple layers of the storage track, the target track includes the storage track layers with the largest storage quantity; when the storage quantity of multiple layers of the storage track is equal, the target track includes the conveyor track;

[0009] The target track and the conveyor track are controlled to respectively transport one of the devices toward the lifting assembly;

[0010] Control the lifting component to rise to the preset height;

[0011] The storage tracks that are at the same height as the devices on the lifting assembly will move a predetermined distance away from the lifting assembly;

[0012] The pushing assembly is controlled to push each of the devices on the lifting assembly onto the storage conveyor at its corresponding height;

[0013] The lifting assembly is controlled to descend to the preset height, and the process returns to the step of determining the target track until the feeding is completed.

[0014] In some embodiments, the maximum capacity of the conveyor belt to accommodate the device is less than the maximum capacity of the storage belt to accommodate the device.

[0015] In some embodiments, the difference between the maximum capacity of the conveyor track and the maximum capacity of the storage track is positively correlated with the number of layers of the storage track.

[0016] In some embodiments, the maximum number of layers in which the lifting assembly can accommodate the device is greater than or equal to the number of layers in the storage track.

[0017] In some embodiments, the step of feeding the conveyor belt in response to a feeding command includes:

[0018] In response to a feeding command, the conveyor belt is controlled to move intermittently toward the lifting assembly, conveying the conveyor belt device from the end of the conveyor belt away from the lifting assembly.

[0019] In some embodiments, the device storage scheduling method further includes:

[0020] In response to a discharge command, the conveyor belt is controlled to convey the material outward.

[0021] When the distribution of devices in the conveying assembly meets the preset conditions, the storage conveyors with the largest number of storage items are all determined as discharge conveyors.

[0022] Control the several layers of the discharge conveyor belts to respectively transport one of the devices toward the lifting assembly;

[0023] Control the lifting component to descend to the preset height;

[0024] The storage tracks that are at the same height as the devices on the lifting assembly will move a predetermined distance away from the lifting assembly;

[0025] The pushing assembly is controlled to push each of the devices on the lifting assembly onto the storage track or conveyor track at its corresponding height.

[0026] The lifting assembly is controlled to rise to the preset height, and then the step of determining the storage conveyors with the largest number of storage layers as discharge conveyors is performed until the discharge is completed.

[0027] In some embodiments, the method of controlling the conveyor belt to convey material outward in response to a discharge command includes:

[0028] In response to a discharge command, the conveyor belt is controlled to transport the device outward from the end furthest from the lifting assembly.

[0029] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt conveying device that responds to a discharge command includes:

[0030] In response to the discharge command, the lifting assembly is controlled to rise to avoid the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is controlled to transport the device outward from the end closest to the lifting assembly.

[0031] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a device storage device, wherein the device storage device is applied to the device storage and scheduling method described in any embodiment of the first aspect, the device storage device comprising:

[0032] A conveying assembly, comprising a conveyor belt and multiple layers of storage belts arranged vertically; the conveyor belt is located below the multiple layers of storage belts; the conveyor belt and the multiple layers of storage belts are arranged at predetermined height intervals.

[0033] A lifting assembly is located on one side of the conveying assembly in the horizontal direction; the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive unit, a lifting base, and a material-carrying unit; the lifting drive unit drives the lifting base to move vertically up and down; the material-carrying unit is fixedly connected to the lifting base; multiple material-carrying units are arranged vertically; the material-carrying units are used to carry devices.

[0034] A feeding assembly includes a feeding drive unit and a push plate; the feeding drive unit is connected to the lifting seat; the push plate is slidably connected to the lifting seat in a horizontal direction; the feeding drive unit drives the push plate to slide; the push plate is used to push the device on the loading unit.

[0035] In some embodiments, the device storage device further includes a first transfer device; the first transfer device is rotatably disposed on the side of the conveyor belt away from the lifting assembly; the first transfer device is used to transport the device to the conveyor belt or to carry the device output by the conveyor belt.

[0036] In some embodiments, the dimension of the conveyor belt along its own conveying direction is smaller than the dimension of the storage belt along its own conveying direction; the first transfer device is at least partially located below the multiple layers of the storage belt.

[0037] In some embodiments, the device storage device further includes a second transfer device; the second transfer device is rotatably disposed on the side of the conveyor belt near the lifting assembly; the second transfer device is used to transport the device to the conveyor belt or to carry the device output by the conveyor belt;

[0038] The conveying components are arranged in multiple groups along the horizontal direction; the devices are transferred between adjacent groups of conveying components through the first transfer device and the second transfer device.

[0039] To address the problem of short service life of the lower track due to high load and high intensity use, this invention has the following advantages:

[0040] By setting up a conveyor belt located below, multiple storage belts arranged vertically and spaced apart from the conveyor belt, as well as a lifting component and a pushing component, the devices can be transported to the lifting component via the conveyor belt, then lifted by the lifting component and pushed into the upper storage belt by the pushing component for storage. During scheduling, devices are transported to the conveyor belt in response to feeding commands. Once the conveyor component meets the preset condition that "the number of devices in each storage belt is greater than or equal to the adjacent upper belt", the target belt is determined according to the strategy of "the lower storage belts with the largest storage volume are the target belts" or "when the storage volumes of multiple storage belts are equal, the conveyor belt is the target belt". This process allows the target track and the conveyor track to each conveyor track to transport one device to the lifting assembly. Then, by controlling the lifting assembly to rise to a preset height, the storage track at the corresponding height moves away from the lifting assembly to make room, allowing the pushing assembly to push the device into the corresponding storage track. Finally, the lifting assembly resets and repeats the above steps until the feeding is finished. Throughout the process, by increasing the number of devices in the multi-layer storage track from bottom to top to equalize, and then cyclically adding one device to each layer, the full-load running time of the lower storage track is significantly reduced, thus extending its service life. At the same time, by maintaining the device layout with the center of gravity low, the stability of the storage operation is greatly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0049] In the storage and circulation scenario of rod-shaped devices 60, multi-layer tracked storage devices improve storage density and transfer efficiency through multi-layer structures and automated components. However, existing technologies load materials onto the upper layers only after the lower layers are fully loaded, which can easily lead to a shortened lifespan of the lower track. Furthermore, when unloading, the upper layer's storage capacity far exceeds that of the lower layer, causing the device's center of gravity to shift upwards, resulting in decreased stability during mechanical component operation. Balancing a longer lifespan for the lower track with a stable center of gravity is a pressing issue. To address the problem of short lifespan of the lower track due to high loads and high-intensity use, this invention provides a device 60 storage scheduling method and a device 60 storage device.

[0050] Example 1:

[0051] This embodiment provides a device 60 storage and scheduling method, which is applied to a device 60 storage device. The device 60 is generally rod-shaped. Figure 2 As shown, the device 60 storage device includes a conveying assembly 10, a lifting assembly 20, and a pushing assembly 30; as Figure 4 As shown, the lifting assembly 20 is located to the left of the conveying assembly 10. The conveying assembly 10 is positioned as follows... Figure 5 Multiple storage belts, preferably three, are arranged vertically as shown. The conveying assembly 10 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a multi-layer storage belt 12 arranged vertically. The conveyor belt 11 is located below the multi-layer storage belt 12. The conveyor belt 11 and the multi-layer storage belt 12 are arranged at predetermined heights. The lifting assembly 20 is located on one side of the conveying assembly 10 in the horizontal direction. In this way, after the device 60 is conveyed to the conveyor belt 11, it is transported along the conveyor belt 11 to the lifting assembly 20. The lifting assembly 20 raises the height of the device 60, and then the pushing assembly 30 pushes the device 60 from the lifting assembly 20 into the storage belt 12 located above. In this way, the device 60 can be conveyed to multiple storage belts 12, thereby achieving storage.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the device 60 storage and scheduling method includes steps S10-S70, which are explained in detail below:

[0053] Step S10: In response to the feeding command, the conveyor device 60 is fed to the conveyor belt 11;

[0054] Step S20: When the distribution of devices 60 in the conveying assembly 10 meets preset conditions, a target track is determined; wherein, the preset conditions include that the number of devices 60 on each storage track 12 is greater than or equal to the number of devices 60 on the adjacent upper storage track 12; one strategy for determining the target track is: when there is a difference in the storage quantity of multiple storage tracks 12, the target track includes the storage tracks 12 with the largest storage quantity. Since the distribution of devices 60 in the conveying assembly 10 meets the preset conditions, the storage tracks 12 with the largest storage quantity are located below the storage tracks 12 with the non-largest storage quantity; another strategy for determining the target track is: when the storage quantity of multiple storage tracks 12 is equal, the target track includes the conveyor track 11.

[0055] Step S30: Control the target track and the conveyor track 11 to each convey one device 60 toward the lifting assembly 20. In this way, when executing one of the target track determination strategies, one device 60 from the storage track 12 with the largest number of storage devices will be conveyed to the lifting assembly 20, thereby reducing the storage quantity on the storage track 12 with the largest number of storage devices 60 by one, while the number of devices 60 on the storage track 12 with the smaller number of storage devices remains unchanged; when executing the second target track determination strategy, only one device 60 from the conveyor track 11 will be conveyed to the lifting assembly 20.

[0056] Step S40: Control the lifting assembly 20 to rise to a preset height; thereby raising the height of the device 60 in the lifting assembly 20.

[0057] Step S50: Move a number of storage tracks 12 that are at the same height as the number of devices 60 on the lifting assembly 20 away from the lifting assembly 20 by a preset distance; this will free up storage space for the number of devices 60 on the lifting assembly 20.

[0058] Step S60: Control the pushing component 30 to push each device 60 on the lifting component 20 onto the storage track 12 at its corresponding height; thus, when executing one of the target track determination strategies, the number of devices 60 on the lowest layer of the several layers of storage tracks 12 with the second largest number of storage devices 60 is increased by one, while the number of storage devices on the several layers of storage tracks 12 with the largest number of storage devices 60 is increased by one based on the reduction of one in step S30, that is, the number remains unchanged compared to the state before executing step S20; when executing the second target track determination strategy, only the number of storage devices 60 on the lowest layer of storage track 12 is increased by one.

[0059] Step S70: Control the lifting assembly 20 to descend to a preset height, then return to step S20 until feeding is complete. At this time, the distribution of devices 60 in the conveying assembly 10 still meets the preset conditions.

[0060] This allows the devices 60 transported from the conveyor belt 11 to be individually conveyed to multiple storage belts 12 for storage using the lifting assembly 20 and the pushing assembly 30. It is worth noting that during the repeated execution of steps S20-S70, along... Figure 4 In the middle direction from bottom to top, the number of devices 60 on all storage tracks 12 with fewer storage units is increased by one layer from bottom to top, so that the number of storage devices 60 on all storage tracks 12 is equal. Then, one device 60 is added to each storage track 12 from bottom to top. After that, the second strategy for determining the target track is executed.

[0061] When executing the second strategy for determining the target track, during the repeated execution of steps S20-S70 until the feeding is completed, the number of devices 60 on the multi-layer storage track 12 first changes along the path as follows: Figure 4 The number of devices 60 stored on each layer of the multi-layer storage conveyor 12 is increased by one from bottom to top until the total number of devices 60 stored on each layer is increased by one. Then, the number of devices 60 on each layer of the multi-layer storage conveyor 12 is increased by one again from bottom to top. This cycle is repeated multiple times until the multi-layer storage conveyor 12 is full of devices 60, at which point the feeding process ends. The number of cycles is positively correlated with the number of devices 60 that a single layer of the storage conveyor 12 can store and the number of layers in the storage conveyor 12. This ensures that the distribution of devices 60 in the conveyor assembly 10 always meets the preset conditions.

[0062] Compared to filling the bottom storage conveyor belt 12 with devices 60 before filling multiple layers of storage conveyor belts 12 from bottom to top, this incremental layering reduces the load on the lower layers of storage conveyor belts 12 during multiple cycles, thus reducing the time the storage conveyor belts 12 are transported at full load and extending their service life. Since the distribution of devices 60 in the conveying assembly 10 meets preset conditions, and since multiple devices 60 with a certain weight move back and forth on the vertically arranged multi-layered storage conveyor belts 12 during the feeding process, this also ensures the storage layout of devices 60 with a lower center of gravity, thereby improving the stability of the storage operation.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the maximum capacity of the conveyor belt 11 housing device 60 is less than the maximum capacity of the storage belt 12 housing device 60. Since the conveyor belt 11 is fully loaded during the conveying process of the device 60, the load on the conveyor belt 11 can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the conveyor belt 11.

[0064] Furthermore, the difference between the maximum capacity of the conveyor belt 11 and the maximum capacity of the storage belt 12 is positively correlated with the number of layers in the storage belt 12. When the storage belt 12 has a large number of layers and can accommodate a large number of devices 60, the difference between the maximum capacity of the conveyor belt 11 and the maximum capacity of the storage belt 12 is large, meaning that the maximum capacity of the conveyor belt 11 is much smaller than that of the storage belt 12. Since the storage belt 12 can accommodate a large number of devices 60, the service life of the conveyor belt 11 is longer. By reducing the maximum capacity of the conveyor belt 11, the maximum load on the conveyor belt 11 under long-term use requirements can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the conveyor belt 11. In this case, the conveyor belt 11 is mainly used for transporting devices 60 during feeding.

[0065] When the number of layers in the storage track 12 is small, and the number of devices 60 it can accommodate is also small, the difference between the maximum capacity of the conveyor track 11 and the maximum capacity of the storage track 12 is small. That is, the maximum capacity of the conveyor track 11 is close to the maximum capacity of a single layer of the storage track 12. Since the number of devices 60 that the storage track 12 can accommodate is small, the usage time of the conveyor track 11 is short. This ensures that even after the storage track 12 is full of devices 60, the conveyor track 11 can still be used to store a certain number of devices 60.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the maximum number of layers of the lifting assembly 20 that accommodates the device 60 is greater than or equal to the number of layers that store the track 12. Preferably, the maximum number of layers of the lifting assembly 20 that accommodates the device 60 is equal to the number of layers that store the track 12, in order to reduce the structural redundancy of the lifting assembly 20.

[0067] In other embodiments, the maximum number of layers of the lifting assembly 20 accommodating the device 60 is greater than the number of layers of the storage track 12, thus enabling the lifting assembly 20 to have greater adaptability when the number of layers of the storage track 12 changes, and to be used in conjunction with the conveying assembly 10 which stores more layers of the storage track 12.

[0068] Further, step S10 includes step S11:

[0069] In response to the feeding command, the conveyor belt 11 is controlled to move intermittently toward the lifting assembly 20, and the device 60 is conveyed from the end of the conveyor belt 11 away from the lifting assembly 20 to the conveyor belt 11.

[0070] In step S70, after the lifting assembly 20 descends to a preset height, the device 60 on the conveyor belt 11 moves along... Figure 2 The projection shown from right to left overlaps with the lifting assembly 20. This allows for the conveyor belt 11 to transport the device 60 from the end furthest from the lifting assembly 20, directly to the lifting assembly 20 after it has already descended to a preset height. This avoids situations where the lifting assembly 20 is lowered only after the device 60 is already on the conveyor belt 11, thus improving material storage efficiency.

[0071] Furthermore, the device 60 storage and scheduling method also includes step S80, which includes steps S81-S87, as detailed below:

[0072] Step S81: In response to the discharge command, control the conveyor belt 11 to convey the device 60 outward;

[0073] Step S82: Determine the storage belts 12 with the largest storage quantity as discharge belts;

[0074] Step S83: Control several layers of discharge conveyor belts to convey one device 60 towards the lifting assembly 20 respectively;

[0075] Step S84: Control the lifting component 20 to descend to a preset height;

[0076] Step S85: Move a number of storage tracks 12, which are at the same height as the number of devices 60 on the lifting assembly 20, away from the lifting assembly 20 by a preset distance;

[0077] Step S86: Control the pushing assembly 30 to push each device 60 on the lifting assembly 20 onto the storage track 12 or the conveyor track 11 at its corresponding height;

[0078] Step S87: Control the lifting component 20 to rise to the preset height, then return to step S82 until the material discharge is completed.

[0079] After repeatedly executing steps S81-S87, the devices 60 on the conveyor assembly 10 can be transported out via the conveyor assembly 10, lifting assembly 20, and pushing assembly 30. It is worth noting that during the entire unloading process, devices 60 on the storage conveyor belts 12 with the largest storage quantities are prioritized for unloading via the other storage conveyor belts 12 below, the lifting assembly 20, the pushing assembly 30, and the conveyor belt 11, until the number of devices 60 on all storage conveyor belts 12 is equal, and then... Figure 4 As shown, the number of devices 60 on the multi-layer storage conveyor belt 12 is reduced by one layer from top to bottom until the unloading is complete. This ensures a storage layout of devices 60 with a lower center of gravity, thereby improving the stability of the storage operation. Furthermore, this avoids transferring all devices 60 to the lower storage conveyor belt 12 before unloading, thus reducing the time the storage conveyor belt 12 operates at full load and extending its service life.

[0080] The more layers the storage track 12 has, the longer it takes to reach full capacity or empty after discharge. Conversely, the fewer layers the storage track 12 has, the shorter the time it takes to reach full capacity or empty after discharge. Whether for storage or discharge, the conveyor track 11 is required for transporting the device 60. This embodiment positively correlates the difference between the maximum capacity of the conveyor track 11 and the maximum capacity of a single layer of storage track 12 with the number of layers of storage track 12. This avoids long-term heavy-load operation of the conveyor track 11 when there are many layers of storage track 12, thus ensuring a longer service life for the conveyor track 11. This embodiment also increases the maximum capacity of the conveyor track 11 when there are few layers of storage track 12 to match the efficiency of the lifting assembly 20 transferring the device 60, avoiding reduced feeding or discharging efficiency due to insufficient storage devices 60 in the conveyor track 11.

[0081] Further, step S81 includes step S811:

[0082] In response to the discharge command, the conveyor belt 11 is controlled to transport the device 60 outward from the end away from the lifting assembly 20. This allows the device 60 to be discharged from the end of the conveyor belt 11 away from the lifting assembly 20, that is, to be discharged towards the side of the conveyor assembly 10 away from the lifting assembly 20.

[0083] Further, step S81 includes step S812:

[0084] In response to the discharge command, the lifting assembly 20 is controlled to rise to avoid the conveyor belt 11 conveying the device 60, and the conveyor belt 11 is controlled to convey the device 60 outward from the end closest to the lifting assembly 20. Since the lifting assembly 20 is controlled to rise to a preset height in step S87, the device 60 can be discharged from the end of the conveyor belt 11 away from the lifting assembly 20 without interfering with the lifting assembly 20, that is, the discharge can be completed towards the side of the conveyor assembly 10 away from the lifting assembly 20.

[0085] In this embodiment, during the entire discharge process, either step S811 or step S812 can be selected to adjust the discharge direction as needed. Furthermore, since the discharge method in step S80 repeatedly executes steps S82-S87, it does not interfere with the always-executed step S81, thus providing high flexibility in adjusting the discharge direction.

[0086] Example 2:

[0087] This embodiment provides a device 60 storage device, which is applied to a device 60 storage and scheduling method. For example... Figure 2 As shown, device 60, the storage device includes:

[0088] The conveying assembly 10 includes a conveyor track 11 and a multi-layer storage track 12 arranged vertically; the conveyor track 11 is located below the multi-layer storage track 12; the conveyor track 11 and the multi-layer storage track 12 are arranged at preset heights.

[0089] The lifting assembly 20 is located on one side of the conveying assembly 10 in the horizontal direction. The lifting assembly 20 includes a lifting drive unit 21, a lifting seat 22, and a loading unit 23. The lifting drive unit 21 drives the lifting seat 22 to move vertically. The loading unit 23 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 22. Multiple loading units 23 are arranged vertically. The loading units 23 are used to carry the device 60.

[0090] The pusher assembly 30 includes a pusher drive unit 31 and a pusher plate 32; the pusher drive unit 31 is connected to the lifting seat 22; the pusher plate 32 is slidably connected to the lifting seat 22 in the horizontal direction; the pusher drive unit 31 drives the pusher plate 32 to slide; the pusher plate 32 is used to push the device 60 on the loading unit 23.

[0091] The device 60 storage device described above enables the device 60 storage and scheduling method in Embodiment 1. This allows devices 60 transported from the conveyor belt 11 to be individually conveyed to multiple storage belts 12 using the lifting assembly 20 and the pushing assembly 30. It also allows devices 60 on the conveyor assembly 10 to be unloaded via the conveyor assembly 10, lifting assembly 20, and pushing assembly 30. This reduces the time the storage belts 12 are under full load during both feeding and unloading, thus extending their service life. Furthermore, it ensures a low-center-of-gravity storage layout for the devices 60 during both feeding and unloading, thereby improving the stability of the storage operation.

[0092] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the device 60 storage device also includes a first transfer device 40; the first transfer device 40 is rotatably disposed on the side of the conveyor belt 11 away from the lifting assembly 20; the first transfer device 40 is used to convey the device 60 to the conveyor belt 11 or to carry the device 60 output by the conveyor belt 11. In this way, by rotating the first transfer device 40, the device 60 transported from the conveyor belt 11 in the direction away from the lifting assembly 20 can be transported out, or the device 60 can be transferred in from the side of the conveyor belt 11 away from the lifting assembly 20.

[0093] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the dimension of the conveyor belt 11 along its own conveying direction is smaller than that of the storage belt 12 along its own conveying direction. Since the conveyor belt 11 is fully loaded during the conveying process of the device 60, the load on the conveyor belt 11 can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the conveyor belt 11. The first transfer device 40 is at least partially located below the multi-layer storage belt 12, which makes reasonable use of the space saved by the smaller conveyor belt 11, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the storage device 60.

[0094] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the device 60 storage device also includes a second transfer device 50; the second transfer device 50 is rotatably disposed on the side of the conveyor belt 11 near the lifting assembly 20; the second transfer device 50 is used to convey the device 60 to the conveyor belt 11 or to carry the device 60 output by the conveyor belt 11.

[0095] Multiple sets of conveying components 10 are arranged in the horizontal direction; adjacent sets of conveying components 10 are connected by a transfer device 60 via a first transferor 40 and a second transferor 50.

[0096] This allows the first transfer device 40 and the second transfer device 50 to transfer the device 60 between multiple sets of conveying components 10, and to feed and unload the material into the conveying components 10 located on both sides.

[0097] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
