Description

A terrain-based automated storage and retrieval system design structure Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS) technology, and particularly relates to an automated AS / RS design structure based on terrain. Background Technology

[0002] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) are warehousing systems that store unit goods using high-rise racks and utilize automated equipment such as stacker cranes and conveyors to perform goods storage and retrieval operations.

[0003] Offshore platforms are structures that provide production and living facilities for offshore drilling, oil production, and cargo transportation activities.

[0004] Currently, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) are typically built in land-based factories. If AS / RS were applied to offshore platforms, conventional design methods would only allow for their construction on these platforms. This would occupy limited space on the offshore platforms and would not be suitable for storing large quantities of underwater operational equipment, seabed construction spare parts, emergency repair equipment, and scientific research equipment. Consequently, AS / RS cannot meet the usage requirements of specific terrain scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a terrain-based automated three-dimensional warehouse design structure to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a terrain-based automated three-dimensional warehouse design structure, comprising: a connecting frame, which is fixedly connected to an offshore platform and submerged in water; a three-dimensional frame, which is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, the top of the three-dimensional frame being provided with multiple lifting channels arranged in a rectangular array, the lifting channels being vertically arranged, the inner wall of the lifting channels being provided with multiple storage chambers arranged in a vertical direction, the storage chambers being provided with extension receiving mechanisms; a submersible drone, which floats above the three-dimensional frame and / or floats in any of the lifting channels; multiple self-floating storage mechanisms, some of the self-floating storage mechanisms being located in the storage chambers and magnetically adsorbing the corresponding extension receiving mechanisms, some of the self-floating storage mechanisms being located in the lifting channels and magnetically adsorbing the corresponding extension receiving mechanisms, and some of the self-floating storage mechanisms being located in the lifting channels and magnetically adsorbing the submersible drone; a controller, which is connected to the connecting frame and electrically connected to multiple sets of extension receiving mechanisms, and the controller being wirelessly communicatively connected to the submersible drone and the multiple self-floating storage mechanisms.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the underwater drone includes a drone body, a limiting plate, and a plurality of first electromagnets. The limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body, the plurality of first electromagnets are fixedly connected to the limiting plate, the plurality of first electromagnets are electrically connected to the drone body, and the drone body is wirelessly connected to the controller.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the extension receiving mechanism includes a telescoping device, a support plate and multiple slide rails. The support plate is connected to the bottom of the storage chamber through the multiple slide rails. The telescoping device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage chamber, and the telescoping end of the telescoping device is connected to and drives the support plate. Multiple second electromagnets are provided on the support plate, and the multiple second electromagnets and the telescoping device are electrically connected to the controller.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the self-floating storage mechanism includes a box body, a box cover, a battery, a bidirectional pump, a control module, and multiple third electromagnets. The box cover is snapped onto the top of the box body. A live water chamber is provided inside the box body. The bidirectional pump is located inside the live water chamber and communicates with the outside of the box body. The battery and the control module are located inside the live water chamber. The multiple third electromagnets are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body and the top of the box cover. The multiple third electromagnets magnetically attract multiple second electromagnets and / or magnetically attract multiple first electromagnets. The multiple third electromagnets, the bidirectional pump, and the battery are electrically connected to the control module. The control module is wirelessly connected to the controller.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: both the support plate and the limiting plate are provided with slots, and the box body is snapped into the slots.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a first contact sensor is provided on the support plate, and the first contact sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a second contact sensor is provided at the bottom of the limiting plate, and the second contact sensor is electrically connected to the UAV body.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a floating platform is provided around the three-dimensional frame, and a walkway is provided on the top of the floating platform.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, the three-dimensional frame is fixed on the offshore platform by a connecting frame. The items to be stored are placed into the self-floating storage mechanism and launched into the water. After the self-floating storage mechanism is sucked into the water, it sinks and floats. The self-floating storage mechanism is magnetically attached to the submersible drone. The submersible drone sends the self-floating storage mechanism into the lifting channel and descends. The extension receiving mechanism in the target storage chamber unfolds to receive the self-floating storage mechanism. After the extension receiving mechanism retracts, the self-floating storage mechanism is stored in the storage chamber. When retrieving the goods, it is only necessary to unfold the extension receiving mechanism and release the magnetic attachment. After the self-floating storage mechanism drains water, it automatically floats to the top of the three-dimensional frame. By using buoyancy, the problem of three-dimensional storage in the terrain of the offshore platform is cleverly solved, resulting in good storage effect and high storage efficiency.

[0015] 2. In this invention, after the telescopic device extends, it pushes the support plate to slide along multiple slide rails. The support plate extends from the storage chamber into the lifting channel. The support plate is used to support the self-floating storage mechanism. The second electromagnet facilitates the magnetic adsorption of the self-floating storage mechanism. After the telescopic device retracts, the self-floating storage mechanism can be brought into the storage chamber for storage, which is convenient for receiving the self-floating storage mechanism sent down by the underwater drone in the water.

[0016] 3. In this invention, the controller sends a command to the control module to start the bidirectional pump, which pumps water into the live water tank, causing the tank to sink and lock into the limiting plate. The controller then energizes the first electromagnet and the third electromagnet on the tank cover. The first electromagnet magnetically attracts the corresponding third electromagnet, thereby extending the self-floating storage mechanism onto the submersible drone. The self-floating storage mechanism is then transported to the corresponding extension receiving mechanism. The controller then energizes the second electromagnet and the third electromagnet on the tank. The second electromagnet magnetically attracts the corresponding third electromagnet, thereby sending the self-floating storage mechanism to the extension receiving mechanism to complete the storage operation. When retrieving the goods, all electromagnets are de-energized, and the controller sends a command to the control module to discharge the water from the live water tank. The tank then automatically floats to the top of the three-dimensional frame. Attached Figure Description

The submersible drone 6 includes a drone body 61, a limiting plate 62, and multiple first electromagnets 63. Plate 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the UAV body 61. Multiple first electromagnets 63 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 62 and electrically connected to the UAV body 61. The UAV body 61 is wirelessly connected to the controller 8. The propellers of the UAV body 61 utilize turboprops for underwater navigation. The first electromagnets 63 are magnetically attracted to the floating storage mechanism 7. The extending receiving mechanism 5 includes a telescopic member 51, a support plate 52, and multiple slide rails 53. The support plate 52 is connected to the bottom of the storage chamber 4 via the multiple slide rails 53. The telescopic member 51 is fixedly connected to the storage chamber 4. The bottom of the chamber 4 is connected to and drives the support plate 52. The support plate 52 is provided with a plurality of second electromagnets 9. The plurality of second electromagnets 9 and the telescopic device 51 are electrically connected to the controller 8. After the telescopic device 51 extends, it pushes the support plate 52 to slide along a plurality of slide rails 53. The support plate 52 extends from the storage chamber 4 into the lifting channel 3. The support plate 52 is used to support the self-floating storage mechanism 7. The second electromagnets 9 facilitate the magnetic adsorption of the self-floating storage mechanism 7. After the telescopic device 51 retracts, it can bring the self-floating storage mechanism 7 into the storage chamber 4 for storage, which is convenient for receiving the self-floating storage mechanism 7 sent down by the underwater drone 6 in the water.The self-floating storage mechanism 7 includes a housing 71, a cover 72, a battery 73, a bidirectional pump 74, a control module 75, and multiple third electromagnets 76. The cover 72 is snapped onto the top of the housing 71. A live water tank 10 is provided inside the housing 71. The bidirectional pump 74 is located inside the live water tank 10 and communicates with the outside of the housing 71. The battery 73 and the control module 75 are located inside the live water tank 10. The multiple third electromagnets 76 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 71 and the top of the cover 72, and the multiple third electromagnets 76 magnetically attract multiple second electromagnets 9 and / or magnetically attract multiple first electromagnets 63. The multiple third electromagnets 76, the cover 72, the control module 75, and the control module 75 are all connected to the cover 74. The bidirectional pump 74 and the battery 73 are electrically connected to the control module 75. The control module 75 is wirelessly connected to the controller 8. The contents of the container 71 are placed inside the container 71 after the lid 72 is opened. The lid 72 is then closed and secured to the container 71 with bolts. The water tank 10 is empty. The container 71 is then dropped into the water. Since the water tank 10 is empty, the container 71 will not sink. The controller 8 sends a command to the control module 75 to start the bidirectional pump 74, pumping water into the water tank 10, causing the container 71 to sink. The container 71 then engages with the limiting plate 62. The controller 8 energizes the first electromagnet 63 and the third electromagnet 76 on the lid 72. The first electromagnet 63 magnetically attracts the corresponding third electromagnet 76, thereby extending the self-floating storage mechanism 7 onto the submersible drone 6. The self-floating storage mechanism 7 is transported to the corresponding extension receiving mechanism 5. The controller 8 controls the second electromagnet 9 and the third electromagnet 76 on the box 71 to be energized. The second electromagnet 9 magnetically attracts the corresponding third electromagnet 76, thereby sending the self-floating storage mechanism 7 to the extension receiving mechanism 5 to complete the storage operation. When retrieving goods, it is only necessary to de-energize all electromagnets. The controller 8 sends a command to the control module 75 to make the bidirectional pump 74 drain the water in the live water tank 10, and the box 71 automatically floats above the three-dimensional frame 2. Both the support plate 52 and the limiting plate 62 are provided with The system includes a slot 11, into which the housing 71 is engaged for positioning the self-floating storage mechanism 7. A first contact sensor 12 is mounted on the support plate 52, electrically connected to the controller 8, to determine whether the self-floating storage mechanism 7 has detached from the extension receiving mechanism 5. A second contact sensor 13 is mounted on the bottom of the limiting plate 62, electrically connected to the drone body 61, to determine whether the self-floating storage mechanism 7 has detached from the submersible drone 6. A floating platform 14 is provided around the perimeter of the three-dimensional frame 2, and a walkway 15 is provided on top of the floating platform 14 for easy movement of personnel when storing and retrieving goods.

[0032] Working principle: First, the connecting frame 1 is installed on the marine platform. The automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS) is submerged in the water and fixed to the connecting frame 1. The floating platform 14 is fixed to the AS / RS 2. The walkway 15 is located above the AS / RS 2. Protective filters need to be installed around the AS / RS 2 and at its bottom to prevent marine debris and fish from interfering with the interior of the AS / RS. Second, the marine platform supplies power to multiple telescopic devices 51, multiple second electromagnets 9, and the controller 8. The battery 73 inside the housing 71 supplies power to multiple third electromagnets 76 and the control module 75. The UAV body 61 supplies power to multiple first electromagnets 63. The control between the controller 8 and the multiple telescopic devices 51 and the multiple second electromagnets 9 is tested to establish the connection between the multiple UAV bodies 61 and the multiple... The control module 75 establishes a wireless communication connection with the controller 8. Then, when storing goods, the lid 72 is opened, and the stored items are placed into the container 71. The lid 72 is then closed, and bolts are used to secure it to the container 71. The water tank 10 is empty. The container 71 is then placed into the water. Because the water tank 10 is empty, the container 71 will not sink. A person stands on the walkway 15, and the controller 8 sends a command to the control module 75 to start the bidirectional pump 74, pumping water into the water tank 10, causing the container 71 to sink and engage with the slot 11 in the limiting plate 62. The controller 8 then energizes the first electromagnet 63 and the third electromagnet 76 on the lid 72. The first electromagnet 63... The third electromagnet 76, corresponding to the magnetic attraction, then fixes the lid 72 and the box body 71 to the limiting plate 62. The second contact sensor 13 receives a signal and sends it to the controller 8 through the drone body 61, controlling the drone body 61 to descend within the lifting channel 3. The controller 8 controls the telescopic device 51 to extend and push the support plate 52 to slide along multiple slide rails 53. The support plate 52 extends from the storage chamber 4 into the lifting channel 3 until the bottom of the box body 71 contacts the support plate 52 and is locked in the slot 11 of the support plate 52. The first contact sensor 12 receives a signal and sends it to the controller 8. The controller 8 controls the second electromagnet 9 and the third electromagnet 76 on the box body 71 to be energized. The second electromagnet 9 magnetically attracts the corresponding third electromagnet 76, thus... The container 71 is fixed to the support plate 52. At this point, the drone body 61 has completed its task. The controller 8 de-energizes the first electromagnet 63 and controls the drone body 61 to return to the water above the automated storage and retrieval system. The controller 8 then controls the telescopic device 51 to retract, bringing the container 71 into the storage chamber 4 for storage. Inside the storage chamber 4, the container 71 is limited by the slot 11, allowing the corresponding second and third electromagnets 9 and 76 to be de-energized. Finally, when unloading the goods, the controller 8 controls the telescopic device 51 to extend, pushing the support plate 52 to slide along multiple slide rails 53. The support plate 52 extends from the storage chamber 4 into the lifting channel 3. The controller 8 sends a command to the control module 75 to instruct the bidirectional pump 74 to drain the water from the live water tank 10.The container 71 automatically floats up along the lifting channel 3 to above the vertical frame 2.
