Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of modular warehousing technology, and specifically relates to a modular intelligent warehousing equipment and control method. Background Technology

[0002] Warehousing equipment refers to the technical devices and machinery that can meet the needs of storing and preserving goods. It does not only refer to equipment with external features such as houses and locked doors. Specifically, it can be divided into loading and unloading equipment and storage equipment, measuring equipment, maintenance and inspection equipment, ventilation and lighting equipment, fire safety equipment, labor protection equipment and other equipment and tools. Intelligent warehousing equipment is needed when storing some valuable items.

[0003] In the final stages of modern warehousing and logistics, especially in scenarios involving goods picking, e-commerce order fulfillment, or small component warehousing, manual scanning and identification of information for different goods is required. Operators carry PDAs or walk to the physical location of the target warehouse according to screen prompts. To confirm that the warehouse location is correct, operators must use the PDA's barcode scanner or a dedicated barcode scanner to manually scan the unique identification barcode affixed to the surface of the warehouse to retrieve and place goods. Under the current state of large-scale logistics, this reduces the efficiency of goods retrieval and placement, thereby reducing the turnover efficiency of logistics. Therefore, we need to propose a modular intelligent warehousing equipment and control method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a modular intelligent warehousing device, comprising:

[0005] The equipment housing has multiple sets of cargo turnover mechanisms and protective inner shells installed alternately from bottom to top in the inner cavity of the equipment housing. A storage space for storing goods is formed between the protective inner shell and the equipment housing. The cargo turnover mechanism is used to circulate and store the goods put into the equipment housing.

[0006] The outer side of the equipment housing has multiple sets of openings. Below each set of openings is a feeding mechanism for placing goods onto the corresponding goods turnover mechanism. Each set of protective inner shells is equipped with a discharging mechanism corresponding to the feeding mechanism. A control panel electrically connected to the feeding and discharging mechanisms is installed on the outer side of the equipment housing. Goods that need to be stored or retrieved are placed or retrieved through the feeding and discharging mechanisms.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a carrier plate fixedly connected below the hopper opening. A feeding pusher plate for pushing goods into the hopper opening is slidably disposed on the upper surface of the carrier plate, and a synchronization component for driving the feeding pusher plate is installed on the lower surface of the carrier plate. Protective plates for the feeding pusher plate to slide are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the carrier plate, and a sliding groove for the feeding pusher plate to slide is opened on one side of the protective plate. A guide rod for the feeding pusher to slide is fixedly connected in the sliding groove, and an indicator light is provided on the lower surface of the carrier plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the synchronization component includes two sets of synchronization pulleys rotatably disposed on one side of a set of protective plates, and the two sets of synchronization pulleys are provided with synchronization belts. The shaft end of one set of synchronization pulleys passes through the protective plate and is driven by a first motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism includes an electric push rod and a discharge push plate. The outer side of the protective inner shell is provided with a discharge mounting part for receiving the discharge push plate. The electric push rod is installed on the inner wall of the protective inner shell. Multiple sets of limiting rods penetrating the protective inner shell are fixedly connected to one side of the discharge push plate. The axis of the discharge push plate and the axis of the hopper opening are arranged on the same straight line.

[0010] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the device housing, and a recognition camera for identifying labels on goods is installed on the lower surface of the baffle and multiple sets of carrier plates. The recognition camera is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the cargo turnover mechanism includes a support component, two sets of partitions, a drive component, a rotary conveyor component, and an installation track. The support component is fixedly connected between the two sets of partitions. The rotary conveyor component is disposed on the outside of the two sets of partitions and is driven to rotate by the drive component. The rotary conveyor component is slidably installed in the installation track.

[0012] Furthermore, the support assembly includes multiple sets of protrusions fixed on the two sets of partitions, and the lower ends of the multiple sets of protrusions are provided with recesses located below the lower partition.

[0013] The upper surface of the mounting track is provided with a track groove for sliding guidance of the rotary conveying component, and the track groove is provided with a toothed groove for mounting the drive component.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a moving gear and a driven gear rotatably disposed between two sets of partitions and located in a tooth groove. The shaft end of the moving gear passes through the upper partition and is driven by a second motor. Both the moving gear and the driven gear mesh with the rotary conveyor assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotary conveyor assembly includes multiple sets of transmission chains, and adjacent sets of transmission chains are rotatably connected.

[0016] The transmission chain assembly includes a vertical shaft, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to a crescent chain plate that supports the cargo, and a guide wheel that rolls in a guide rail groove is installed on the middle of the outer side of the vertical shaft. A chain link is provided on the outer side of the vertical shaft.

[0017] Based on the modular intelligent warehousing equipment described above, the present invention also provides a control method for the modular intelligent warehousing equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1. Place the goods to be stored on the feeding assembly, and push the goods into the equipment housing for storage through the feeding assembly;

[0019] S2. The position of the goods is adjusted by the goods turnover mechanism, thereby storing the goods one by one.

[0020] S3. When retrieving goods, simply take a picture of the corresponding goods' identification code using the camera on the control screen. The control screen will then control the goods handling mechanism to move the corresponding goods to the warehouse opening, where they will be pushed out by the unloading mechanism for quick retrieval.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] 1. This invention utilizes the cooperation between the outer shell, the protective inner shell, the feeding mechanism, and the discharging mechanism. The feeding mechanism can quickly push the goods to be stored into the inner cavity of the outer shell for storage. At the same time, the protective inner shell and the outer shell form a storage space for storing goods, thus facilitating the rapid storage of goods. The discharging mechanism can quickly push out the goods to be retrieved, which are then carried by the feeding mechanism for easy retrieval, thereby improving the efficiency of goods retrieval and handling.

[0023] 2. This invention improves the efficiency of finding goods by coordinating the cargo turnover mechanism and the control screen. The control screen can easily identify the information of the goods to be retrieved, thereby controlling the cargo turnover mechanism to rotate and move the corresponding goods to the warehouse opening, so that the goods can be discharged by the discharge mechanism.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a modular intelligent warehousing device, comprising:

[0039] The equipment housing 1 has multiple sets of cargo turnover mechanisms 5 and protective inner shells 6 installed alternately from bottom to top in the inner cavity of the equipment housing 1. A storage space for storing goods is formed between the protective inner shell 6 and the equipment housing 1. The cargo turnover mechanism 5 is used to circulate and store the goods put into the equipment housing 1.

[0040] Multiple storage openings 3 are provided on the outer side of the equipment housing 1. Each of the multiple storage openings 3 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 4 for placing goods onto the corresponding goods turnover mechanism 5. Each of the multiple protective inner shells 6 is equipped with a discharging mechanism 8 corresponding to the feeding mechanism 4. A control panel 2 is installed on the outer side of the equipment housing 1 and is electrically connected to the feeding mechanism 4 and the discharging mechanism 8. Goods that need to be stored or retrieved are placed or retrieved through the feeding mechanism 4 and the discharging mechanism 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 8-9As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a carrier plate 41 fixedly connected below the hopper 3. A feeding pusher plate 48 for pushing goods into the hopper 3 is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the carrier plate 41, and a synchronization component for driving the feeding pusher plate 48 is installed on the lower surface of the carrier plate 41. One end of the feeding pusher plate 48 is fixedly connected to the outside of the timing belt 47. Protective plates 42 for the feeding pusher plate 48 to slide are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the carrier plate 41. A slide groove 43 for the feeding pusher plate 48 to slide is opened on one side of the protective plate 42. A guide rod 44 for the feeding pusher to slide is fixedly connected in the slide groove 43. An indicator light 49 is provided on the lower surface of the carrier plate 41.

[0042] The protective plate 42 works in conjunction with the guide rod 44 and the slide 43 to provide a stable sliding guide for the feeding push plate 48, preventing the push plate from shifting during the pushing process, which could cause the goods to tip over or the pushing position to deviate, thus ensuring feeding stability.

[0043] Meanwhile, the synchronous assembly consisting of synchronous pulley 46 and synchronous belt 47 provides precise transmission and smooth operation, enabling the feeding pusher plate 48 to push goods at a uniform speed. In conjunction with the indicator light 49 on the lower surface of the carrier plate 41, the feeding status (such as feeding in progress, feeding completed) can be intuitively indicated, making it convenient for operators to monitor the work progress in real time and improving the convenience of feeding operations.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 8-9 As shown, the synchronization assembly includes two sets of synchronous pulleys 46 rotatably disposed on one side of a set of protective plates 42, and synchronous belts 47 are provided on the two sets of synchronous pulleys 46. The shaft end of one set of synchronous pulleys 46 passes through the protective plate 42 and is driven by the first motor 45.

[0045] Compared to a single transmission method, the synchronous component has higher transmission efficiency and is less prone to slippage during transmission, ensuring the movement accuracy of the feed pusher plate 48 and guaranteeing that the goods are accurately pushed to the designated position. At the same time, the entire synchronous belt 47 can be driven by only one first motor 45 driving a set of synchronous pulleys 46, which simplifies the drive structure, reduces equipment energy consumption and maintenance costs, and the cooperation structure between the synchronous pulleys 46 and the synchronous belt 47 is simple, easy to disassemble and assemble, and more convenient for subsequent fault repair.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the discharge mechanism 8 includes an electric push rod 81 and a discharge push plate 82. The outer side of the protective inner shell 6 is provided with a discharge mounting part 7 for receiving the discharge push plate 82. The electric push rod 81 is installed on the inner wall of the protective inner shell 6. A number of limiting rods 83 that penetrate the protective inner shell 6 are fixedly connected to one side of the discharge push plate 82. The axis of the discharge push plate 82 and the axis of the hopper 3 are set on the same straight line.

[0047] The discharge push plate 82 is driven by an electric push rod 81. The driving method is simple, efficient and stable. It can ensure that the discharge push plate 82 pushes out the goods at a uniform speed and smoothly, avoiding damage caused by uneven force when the goods are pushed out. In addition, multiple sets of limit rods 83 can accurately limit the movement trajectory of the discharge push plate 82 to prevent the discharge push plate 82 from deviating.

[0048] Meanwhile, the design of the discharge push plate 82 axis being collinear with the bin opening 3 axis ensures that the goods are pushed out in a straight line and accurately detached from the equipment shell 1, thus improving the discharge accuracy.

[0049] In addition, the discharge mounting part 7 on the protective inner shell 6 can store the idle discharge push plate 82, avoiding it from occupying storage space or interfering with the cargo turnover mechanism 5, thus optimizing the internal space layout of the equipment.

[0050] In addition, two sets of photoelectric limit sensors are added to the mounting rail 56 at the corresponding position of the discharge mechanism 8 (corresponding to the front and rear sides of the precise stopping position of the goods, as shown in the figure, which is existing technology). When the rotary conveyor component moves the goods to a position close to the preset position, the sensor sends a signal, and the control panel 2 controls the second motor 531 to reduce its speed. After precise stopping, the sensor sends a signal again to ensure that the positioning error is controlled within the millimeter level. At the same time, wear detection sensors are added to the driven gear 532 and the driven gear 533 (as shown in the figure, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail). The wear detection sensors monitor the gear meshing clearance in real time. When the clearance exceeds the threshold, the control panel 2 issues a warning to remind timely maintenance and replacement to avoid positioning deviation due to component wear.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 9 As shown, a baffle is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the equipment housing 1, and recognition cameras 9 for recognizing labels on goods are installed on the lower surface of the baffle and multiple sets of carrier plates 41. The recognition cameras 9 are electrically connected to the control screen 2, and can transmit the recognized goods information to the control screen 2 in real time, so that operators can intuitively view the storage status of goods and improve the intelligent management level of the equipment.

[0052] The baffle (not shown in the diagram) can protect the upper structure of the equipment casing 1, preventing foreign objects from falling into the equipment and affecting the operation of various mechanisms;

[0053] Meanwhile, the identification camera 9 is installed on the lower surface of the baffle and the carrier plate 41 respectively, which can realize dual identification and accurate collection of cargo labels, ensure the accuracy of cargo information entry, and provide data support for the rapid positioning and retrieval of cargo in the future.

[0054] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3-7As shown, the cargo turnover mechanism 5 includes a support component 51, two sets of partitions 52, a drive component 53, a rotary conveyor component, and an installation track 56. The support component 51 is fixedly connected between the two sets of partitions 52. The rotary conveyor component is located on the outside of the two sets of partitions 52 and is driven to rotate by the drive component 53. The rotary conveyor component is slidably installed in the installation track 56.

[0055] The cargo turnover mechanism 5 realizes the cyclic turnover and storage of goods. The support component 51 can be easily spliced ​​with the cargo turnover mechanism 5 above and below, while providing stable support for the partition 52 and various components, ensuring the overall structural strength of the mechanism.

[0056] The rotary conveyor assembly, together with the drive assembly 53, can drive the goods to move stably along the track, realize flexible adjustment of the goods position, facilitate the orderly storage of goods in sequence, and improve the utilization rate of the internal storage space of the equipment. In addition, the modular component design makes it easy to disassemble and maintain each component, and facilitates the later inspection and upgrading of the equipment.

[0057] Secondly, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the support component 51 includes multiple sets of protrusions 511 fixed on two sets of partitions 52, and the lower end of the multiple sets of protrusions 511 is provided with a recess 512 located below the lower partition 52, which realizes the precise positioning and connection between the upper and lower partitions 52 and improves the overall structural compactness of the cargo turnover mechanism 5.

[0058] The upper surface of the mounting track 56 is provided with a track groove 57 for sliding guidance of the rotary conveyor assembly, and a toothed groove 58 is provided in the track groove 57 for mounting the drive assembly 53. The track groove 57 ensures the stability of the rotary conveyor assembly's running trajectory and avoids deviation during the movement of goods. At the same time, the toothed groove 58 in the track groove 57 provides dedicated installation space for the drive assembly 53, making the meshing transmission between the drive assembly 53 and the rotary conveyor assembly more precise, avoiding interference between the drive assembly 53 and other components, optimizing the internal layout of the mechanism, and improving transmission efficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 53 includes a moving gear 532 and a driven gear 533 rotatably disposed between two sets of partitions 52 and located in the tooth groove 58. The shaft end of the moving gear 532 passes through the upper partition 52 and is driven by the second motor 531. Both the moving gear 532 and the driven gear 533 mesh with the rotary conveyor assembly.

[0060] The driven gear 532 and the driven gear 533 mesh with the rotary conveyor assembly, making the transmission smoother and the force more even. This can effectively reduce the wear of the main gear and the driven gear 533 and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0061] Meanwhile, both the driven gear 532 and the driven gear 533 are set in the tooth groove 58, realizing the concealed installation of the drive assembly 53, avoiding collision and interference with goods or other parts, and improving the safety and reliability of the mechanism operation.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , 7 As shown, the rotary conveyor assembly includes multiple sets of drive chain groups 55, and adjacent sets of drive chain groups 55 are rotatably connected. The drive chain groups 55 can move flexibly along the curved trajectory of the installation track 56, adapting to the layout requirements of the internal circulating storage of the equipment and improving the flexibility of cargo turnover.

[0063] The transmission chain assembly 55 includes a vertical shaft 552, with a crescent chain plate 551 for supporting the cargo fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical shaft 552, and a guide wheel 553 that rolls in the guide rail groove is installed on the middle of the outer side of the vertical shaft 552, and a chain link 554 is provided on the outer side of the vertical shaft 552.

[0064] The crescent-shaped chain plates 551 in the transmission chain assembly 55 provide stable support for the goods, preventing them from falling or tilting during turnover. A baffle is fixed every 1-2 sets of crescent-shaped chain plates 551, which facilitates the isolation of stored goods. At the same time, the guide wheel 553 converts the sliding friction between the transmission chain assembly 55 and the mounting track 56 into rolling friction, reducing motion resistance, improving turnover efficiency, and reducing component wear. The chain link 554 enables precise connection between adjacent transmission chain assemblies 55, ensuring the continuity and stability of the overall transmission of the assembly.

[0065] A task management module is added to control panel 2 to support the input, sorting and priority setting of multi-user pickup tasks (such as the priority of urgent goods pickup tasks being higher than that of ordinary tasks). The control logic of the goods turnover mechanism 5 is optimized. When multiple goods need to be picked up, the task management module automatically plans the optimal turnover path (avoiding repeated round trips) and controls the rotary conveyor component to stop at each target goods position in sequence along the optimal path, realizing the continuous turnover and discharge of multiple goods and reducing idle time. At the same time, control panel 2 supports real-time display of multi-task progress, which makes it convenient for operators to view the status of each task.

[0066] Based on the modular intelligent warehousing equipment described above, the present invention also provides a control method for the modular intelligent warehousing equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0067] S1. First, the operator places the goods to be stored stably on the feed mechanism 4 carrier plate 41 below the corresponding compartment 3. After the goods are placed, the recognition camera 9 on the lower surface of the carrier plate 41 is immediately activated to perform initial recognition on the label on the surface of the goods, collect information such as the category, specifications, and storage requirements of the goods, and transmit the recognized information to the control screen 2 in real time.

[0068] After receiving the information, the control panel 2 performs data verification and storage, and at the same time, it feeds back the "feedable" signal through the indicator light 49. Then, the control panel 2 issues a feeding command and sends a drive signal to the synchronous component of the feeding mechanism 4. The first motor 45 starts and drives a set of synchronous pulleys 46 to rotate. The synchronous pulleys 46 drive another set of synchronous pulleys 46 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 47, thereby driving the feeding push plate 48 to slide at a constant speed along the slide groove 43 (guided by the guide rod 44) ​​of the protective plate 42, and smoothly pushes the goods on the carrier plate 41 into the hopper 3 to complete the feeding action.

[0069] After the feed pusher plate 48 is reset, the indicator light 49 switches to the "feeding complete" signal, and the control panel 2 updates the feeding status of the goods simultaneously;

[0070] S2. After the goods enter the equipment housing 1, the goods fall onto the crescent chain plate 551 of the rotary conveyor assembly, and the crescent chain plate 551 provides stable support for the goods.

[0071] At this time, the control panel 2 sends a turnover command to the cargo turnover mechanism 5 based on the cargo information previously entered and the real-time empty space data stored inside the equipment. The second motor 531 in the drive component 53 starts, driving the moving gear 532 to rotate. The moving gear 532 meshes with the driven gear 533. Since both the moving gear 532 and the driven gear 533 mesh with the rotary conveyor component, the rotary conveyor component composed of multiple sets of transmission chain groups 55 is driven to slide along the track groove 57 of the installation track 56 (the guide wheel 553 assists in rolling and reduces resistance). The rotary conveyor component drives the cargo to move along the preset track trajectory, realizing precise adjustment of the cargo position.

[0072] During the turnover process, the control panel 2 receives the position feedback signal of the cargo turnover mechanism 5 in real time. When the cargo moves to the preset storage position, the control panel 2 sends a stop command, the second motor 531 is turned off, the rotary conveyor component stops operating, and the cargo is stored in an orderly manner. The control panel 2 updates the cargo storage position information in real time to form a one-to-one correspondence database of "cargo information-storage position".

[0073] S3. When it is necessary to retrieve the goods, the operator takes a picture of the identification code of the goods to be retrieved through the camera of the control screen 2. The control screen 2 starts the image recognition module to parse the identification code and quickly retrieves the corresponding goods storage location information in the database.

[0074] Subsequently, the control panel 2 sends a precise positioning command to the cargo turnover mechanism 5, and the second motor 531 starts again. Through the moving gear 532 and the driven gear 533, it drives the rotary conveyor component to operate, moving the target cargo along the track groove 57 towards the corresponding bin opening 3. When the target cargo moves to the position of the discharge mechanism 8 corresponding to the bin opening 3, the control panel 2 sends a stop command to the cargo turnover mechanism 5 and sends a discharge command to the discharge mechanism 8. The electric push rod 81 starts, pushing the discharge push plate 82 towards the bin opening 3. Under the guidance of the limit rod 83, the discharge push plate 82 moves smoothly, pushing the cargo from inside the equipment shell 1 to the outside of the bin opening 3, completing the discharge action.

[0075] After the material is discharged, the electric push rod 81 drives the discharge push plate 82 to return to the discharge installation part 7 of the protective inner shell 6. The control screen 2 updates the storage status of the goods to "retrieved" and sends a "retrievement completed" signal through the indicator light 49. The entire retrievement process ends.

[0076] It is worth noting that, in addition to the camera recognition on the control panel 2, there is also a dual backup scheme of manual input of identification code and RFID radio frequency identification (RFID tags are affixed to the goods, and readers are installed in the corresponding positions inside the equipment). At the same time, the image recognition algorithm has been optimized, and image enhancement and tilt correction functions have been added. Supplementary lights (not shown in the diagram) have been added to the warehouse opening 3 and the baffle recognition camera 9 to improve the recognition success rate in complex environments. When recognition fails, the control panel 2 automatically prompts the cause of the fault (such as "blurry identification code" or "insufficient light") and guides the operator to select the backup recognition method to ensure that the process is not interrupted.

[0077] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
