Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The automated three-dimensional warehouse shown is used for the management and storage of angle grinder parts. It includes a storage frame group composed of a plurality of vertical frames 1 arranged in an array. A plurality of internal support plates 2 are fixedly installed inside the vertical frames 1. Embedded horizontal guide rails 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower surface of the internal support plates 2. Lifting aisles 4 for controlling the lifting and lowering of goods are movably installed outside the embedded horizontal guide rails 3. Lifting support platforms 5 are movably installed inside the lifting aisles 4. An electrically controlled translation and flipping guide table 6 is provided at the upper end of the lifting support platform 5.

[0024] To facilitate lead screw adjustment, both the embedded horizontal guide rail 3 and the inner side of the lifting tunnel 4 are equipped with electrically controlled lead screws 7.

[0025] To facilitate translation control, the lifting tunnel 4 is movably assembled with the embedded horizontal guide rail 3 via an internally threaded translation block on the outer wall, which is fitted onto the electric control screw 7.

[0026] To facilitate the lifting and assembling of the mobile assembly, the lifting support platform 5 is mounted on the electric control screw 7 via an outer internal thread lifting block and is movably assembled with the lifting tunnel 4.

[0027] To facilitate lifting and adjustment, the lifting support platform 5 includes a lifting platform 51 with an internally threaded lifting block on the outside, a strip-shaped tilting groove 52 opened inside the lifting platform 51, and an embedded guide rail 53 installed inside the strip-shaped tilting groove 52.

[0028] To facilitate the tilting adjustment, the electrically controlled translational tilting guide table 6 includes a tilting link 61 hinged inside the strip tilting groove 52, an upper support frame 62 hinged to the end of the tilting link 61, a conveyor belt 63 mounted on the upper support frame 62, and electrically controlled support rods 64 mounted at both ends of the tilting link 61.

[0029] The electrically controlled strut 64 extends and retracts, thereby controlling the angles of the flipping link 61 and the upper support frame 62 respectively.

[0030] To facilitate translation, the outer side of the embedded guide rail 53 is movably fitted with an internally threaded adjusting seat 54 for connecting the flipping link 61 and the electrically controlled support rod 64.

[0031] To facilitate optical scanning of the goods on the internal support plates 2 on both sides, and to obtain the data of the goods through scanning, thereby facilitating positioning and material guiding, optical scanning probes 65 are installed on both sides of the upper support frame 62.

[0032] To facilitate lateral lighting, LED lights 41 are installed on both sides of the elevator shaft 4 above the internal support plate 2.

[0033] To facilitate horizontal movement, bottom support wheels 42 are installed at the bottom of the lifting tunnel 4.

[0034] Equipment working principle The equipment uses an electronic control system as its core, and through the coordinated action of mechanical structures, it realizes the automated storage, retrieval, inspection, and transfer of angle grinder parts. The core principle is divided into three major modules: three-dimensional positioning, material transfer, and optical inspection. The linkage of each module ensures efficient and accurate operation. 1. Principle of 3D Positioning Module: After receiving the electrical control signal, the electric control screw 7 in the embedded horizontal guide rail 3 and the lifting channel 4 rotates. The lifting channel 4, through the cooperation of the outer internal thread translation block and the electric control screw 7, realizes horizontal translation along the embedded horizontal guide rail 3. The bottom support wheel 42 helps to reduce movement friction. The lifting support platform 5, through the cooperation of the outer internal thread lifting block and the electric control screw 7 in the lifting channel 4, realizes vertical lifting. Finally, it drives the upper electric control translation and flipping guide table 6 to reach any target storage position, completing the precise positioning in three-dimensional space.

[0035] 2. Material Transfer Module Principle: The electrically controlled translational and tilting guide table 6 is the core transfer mechanism. The internal threaded adjustment seat 54 on the embedded guide rail 53 can move along the guide rail, driving the connected tilting link 61 to translate. The electrically controlled support rod 64 controls the tilt angle of the tilting link 61 and the tilt angle of the upper support frame 62 through telescopic movement, realizing multi-directional material transfer. The conveyor belt 63 on the upper support frame 62 rolls, which can transport materials along the support frame direction. Combined with the tilting action, it realizes the transfer of materials between different storage layers or areas.

[0036] 3. Principle of optical detection module: The optical scanning probes 65 on both sides of the upper support frame 62 scan the materials in real time to obtain information such as the appearance and code of the parts. The data is transmitted to the electrical control system to complete the material identification, positioning and status detection. The LED lights 41 on both sides of the lifting aisle 4 provide illumination to ensure that the optical scanning probes 65 can still accurately collect data in the low light environment inside the warehouse, providing data support for material classification storage and rapid retrieval.

[0037] Equipment working process The equipment workflow revolves around two main scenarios: "inbound storage" and "outbound retrieval," and operates entirely automatically. The specific steps are as follows: (a) Warehousing and Storage Process 1. Positioning Preparation Stage: After receiving the warehousing instruction, the electrical control system analyzes the target storage location of the material. The electric control screw 7 in the embedded horizontal guide rail 3 rotates, driving the lifting aisle 4 to move horizontally along the guide rail. The bottom support wheel 42 assists in sliding. At the same time, the electric control screw 7 in the lifting aisle 4 drives the lifting support platform 5 to rise and fall vertically, adjusting the electrically controlled translation and flipping guide table 6 to the docking position at the warehousing end. The LED light 41 is turned on simultaneously to provide illumination.

[0038] 2. Material receiving and inspection stage: The external conveying equipment transports the angle grinder parts to the upper support frame 62 of the electrically controlled translational and tilting guide platform 6. The conveyor belt 63 starts and transports the material to the middle position of the support frame. The optical scanning probe 65 scans the material, collects information such as appearance and code, and transmits it to the electronic control system for classification, identification and storage location matching. The system records the material information and generates storage instructions.

[0039] 3. Precise Storage Stage: The electrical control system drives the lifting aisle 4 and the lifting support platform 5 to work together to transfer the material to the corresponding position of the internal support plate 2 of the target storage layer; the electrical control strut 64 extends and retracts to adjust the angle of the flipping connecting rod 61, while the internal thread adjustment seat 54 moves along the embedded guide rail 53 to fine-tune the material position; then the electrical control strut 64 controls the upper support frame 62 to flip to a suitable angle, and the conveyor belt 63 rolls in the opposite direction to smoothly transport the material to the internal support plate 2, completing the storage, and the equipment returns to the initial working position to wait for the next instruction.

[0040] (II) Outbound Retrieval Process 1. Target positioning stage: After receiving the outbound instruction, the electrical control system retrieves the storage location information of the target component, drives the lifting aisle 4 to move along the embedded horizontal guide rail 3, and the lifting support platform 5 moves up and down along the lifting aisle 4, accurately moving the electrically controlled translation and flipping guide table 6 to the position of the internal support plate 2 where the target material is located, and the LED light 41 is turned on to assist in the operation.

[0041] 2. Material extraction and verification stage: The electric control strut 64 adjusts the angle of the flipping link 61 and the upper support frame 62 so that the conveyor belt 63 fits the target material; the conveyor belt 63 starts and transports the material from the internal support plate 2 to the support frame; the optical scanning probe 65 scans the material again to check the consistency between the coding information and the outbound instruction, ensuring that the extracted material is accurate.

[0042] 3. Outbound Transfer Stage: After verification, the electrical control system drives the lifting aisle 4 and lifting support platform 5 to transfer the material to the warehouse outbound end; the electrically controlled translational and flipping guide platform 6 adjusts its angle, and the conveyor belt 63 rolls to transport the material to the external transfer equipment, completing the outbound process; the equipment automatically returns to the standby position, and the electrical control system updates the material inventory information at the same time.

[0043] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
