Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of object storage container technology, specifically to a storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Modular components are widely used in manufacturing, equipment maintenance, and precision instruments, and typically consist of an assemblable first component and a second component. One component is often reusable, high-value, replaceable, easily damaged, or functionally specialized; the other is usually a short-life or periodically replaceable specialized accessory. To prevent damage to valuable components from frequent handling, or to avoid contamination or scratches on high-precision mating surfaces of easily damaged components during storage, the two types of components must be stored separately.

[0003] Typically, the first and second components are stored in separate storage facilities (such as different shelving units, dedicated warehouses, or even warehouses across factory areas). While this physical separation meets the requirements for zoned storage, it reduces assembly and turnover efficiency. Workers or transfer equipment must first retrieve the component from the first storage facility and then transfer it to the second storage facility, or pick them separately and then transfer them to the assembly station, resulting in longer transfer routes. Repeated handling also increases the risk of component bumps, tipping, and accidental damage. At the same time, it is difficult to synchronize inventory information between the two locations in real time, which can easily lead to time lags and recording errors. During assembly, model mismatches or quantity discrepancies may occur, resulting in repeated picking, returns, and other ineffective operations. In addition, the inbound and outbound cycles and management rules of the two sets of storage facilities are not entirely the same, and the entire picking and assembly process requires repeated coordination and waiting, further slowing down the production cycle.

[0004] Therefore, under the premise of storing the first and second components separately, how to improve storage and transportation efficiency is a key issue that urgently needs to be solved in the field of object storage container technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides a storage device that can improve storage and transportation efficiency.

[0006] This application provides a storage device for storing modular components, each modular component including an assemblable first component and a second component. The storage device includes a housing, a first storage unit, a second storage unit, an assembly unit, a pick-and-place platform, and a transfer unit. The first storage unit is disposed within the housing and is used to store the first component. The second storage unit is disposed within the housing and is used to store the second component. The assembly unit is disposed within the housing and is used to assemble or disassemble the first and second components. The pick-and-place platform is disposed within the housing and is used to temporarily store the modular components. The transfer unit is disposed within the housing and is used to transfer the modular components temporarily stored on the pick-and-place platform to the assembly unit, and also to transfer the first and second components disassembled by the assembly unit to the first and second storage units, respectively.

[0007] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the first component and the second component are stored in the first storage device and the second storage device respectively, thus physically satisfying the requirement of separate storage. Based on this, a transfer device installed within the storage unit allows for the reciprocating transfer of the component between the first storage device, the second storage device, the assembly device, and the pick-and-place platform without removing the component from the storage unit, thereby enabling the assembly or disassembly of the two components within the storage unit. Since cross-plant transport is no longer required, the risk of accidental damage such as bumps and scratches caused by multiple transfers is reduced. Simultaneously, the transfer path from storage to assembly is significantly shortened, improving the overall efficiency of the picking, matching, and assembly process. Because assembly and disassembly operations are completed within the same storage unit, the risk of contamination of high-precision mating surfaces is reduced. It also facilitates unified control and traceability of assembly cycle time, operation records, and quality data, thereby improving storage and transportation efficiency. Furthermore, centrally locating the first storage device, the second storage device, the assembly device, the pick-and-place platform, and the transfer device within the same storage unit allows the entire storage equipment to be transported, installed, and maintained as a single unit, enhancing the transportation convenience, installation ease, and maintenance operability of the storage equipment.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the storage device further includes a transfer platform disposed within the storage compartment. The transfer device includes a first robot and a second robot. The first robot is used to transfer modular components temporarily stored on the pick-and-place platform to the assembly device, and also to transfer a first component and a second component disassembled from the assembly device to the first storage device and the transfer platform, respectively. The second robot is used to transfer a second component from the transfer platform to the second storage device.

[0009] In the above scheme, the first and second robots have clearly defined roles, and their workspaces only need to partially overlap and cover the transfer platform to enable the transfer of modular components between the pick-and-place platform and the first and second storage devices. The shorter travel distances and simpler motion paths of the first and second robots improve the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the pick-and-place actions, while also shortening the cycle time, thereby further improving storage and transportation efficiency. Furthermore, the reduced range of motion of the first and second robots correspondingly reduces their installation space requirements and the safety protection area during movement, facilitating a more compact layout of the overall storage equipment structure and increasing storage density.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the storage unit includes a first storage unit and a second storage unit arranged along the length of the storage unit. A first storage device, a pick-and-place platform, a first robot, a transfer platform, and an assembly device are all disposed in the first storage unit, and a second storage device is disposed in the second storage unit. The second storage unit has a storage area and a pick-and-place area arranged along the width of the storage unit. The second storage device includes at least one storage mechanism, which includes a plurality of storage cabinets stacked in the storage area along the length of the storage unit. The storage cabinets are used to accommodate a second component. The storage cabinets are movably disposed in the storage unit along the width of the storage unit. The storage cabinets located in the storage area can move relative to the storage unit, enabling at least a portion of the storage cabinets to move to the pick-and-place area. The second robot can move from the first storage unit to the pick-and-place area along the length of the storage unit to transfer the second component from the transfer platform to the storage cabinet.

[0011] In the above scheme, within the second compartment, a storage area and a retrieval area are divided along the width of the compartment, and multiple storage cabinets are stacked along the length of the compartment in the storage area. Since the storage cabinets can move relative to the second compartment along its width, at least a portion of each cabinet can be moved to the retrieval area to facilitate the second robot's retrieval of the second component. Therefore, there is no need to reserve separate retrieval space for each storage cabinet stacked along the length of the compartment; only a shared retrieval channel is required. In this way, when not in a retrieval state, the storage cabinets can be arranged closely with a smaller spacing along the length of the compartment, thereby increasing the number of stacked cabinets per unit area. Simultaneously, multiple storage cabinets can be moved alternately as needed, reducing the ineffective gaps caused by traditional fixed storage cabinets simultaneously exposing the channel for the second robot's retrieval. Thus, while ensuring convenient retrieval, redundant spacing between storage cabinets is effectively reduced, increasing the number of components stored per unit area and improving storage density per unit area. Furthermore, the second robot does not need to enter the storage area; it only needs to move along the length of the storage unit from the first compartment to the retrieval area to complete the storage and retrieval of the second component. Its short travel distance and concentrated movements further shorten the retrieval cycle time and improve its positioning accuracy. Moreover, the second robot can start within the first compartment, making full use of the redundant space within the first compartment without occupying additional storage space in the second compartment, thereby further increasing the storage density of the second storage device. In addition, the first and second compartments are arranged along the length of the storage unit, making full use of the space within the compartments and allowing for a more compact storage device design, thus increasing storage density.

[0012] In one or more embodiments, the storage device further includes a traction mechanism and a first drive mechanism. The traction mechanism is movably disposed within the storage body along the length direction of the storage body. The traction mechanism is at least partially located in the pick-and-place area. The traction mechanism is used to selectively traction one of a plurality of storage cabinets stacked along the length direction of the storage body. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the traction mechanism to move along the length direction of the storage body.

[0013] In the above scheme, a traction mechanism that can move along the length of the storage unit can selectively pull one of the multiple storage cabinets stacked along the length of the storage unit. That is, the same traction mechanism can move back and forth along the length of the storage unit, selectively acting on one storage cabinet and pulling it to the retrieval area along the width of the storage unit. The two storage units can share the same traction mechanism, eliminating the need for a separate traction mechanism for each storage unit, thus reducing the space required for arranging the traction mechanism. While ensuring high access flexibility, this improves space utilization efficiency, makes the structure of the second storage unit more compact, and thus increases storage density.

[0014] In one or more embodiments, a guide rail is provided inside the compartment, extending along the length of the compartment. A portion of the guide rail is located in the pick-and-place area, and another portion is located inside the first compartment. The traction mechanism and the second robot can both be slidably mounted on the guide rail.

[0015] In the above scheme, the traction mechanism and the second robot share the same guide rail, which allows the various functional components in the storage device to be arranged more compactly, saving installation space and increasing the storage density per unit volume. In addition, it also helps to free up more maintenance space and improve maintenance convenience.

[0016] In one or more embodiments, there are two storage areas and two storage mechanisms. Along the width direction of the storage body, the pick-and-place area is located between the two storage areas, and the two storage mechanisms are located in the two storage areas respectively.

[0017] In the above scheme, the retrieval area is located between two storage areas along the width of the storage unit. Two storage mechanisms are arranged in the storage areas on either side, and both mechanisms can share this retrieval area. This arrangement allows storage cabinets in one storage area to be moved alternately to the shared retrieval area for retrieval operations, eliminating the need for separate retrieval channels for each storage mechanism and reducing the total area occupied by the retrieval area. The saved space can be used to expand the storage area or add more storage cabinets, thereby accommodating more items within the same floor space and increasing the overall storage density.

[0018] In one or more embodiments, the container has a first wall along its length, and the first wall is provided with a pick-and-place opening. A pick-and-place platform and a second storage device are arranged along the length of the container, with the pick-and-place platform being closer to the pick-and-place opening than the second storage device. A first robot is located between the second storage device and the pick-and-place platform. An assembly device and a first storage device are arranged along the width of the container, with the first robot located between the assembly device and the first storage device.

[0019] In the above scheme, along the length of the storage unit, the pick-and-place platform is closer to the pick-and-place port than the second storage device, and the first robot is positioned between the second storage device and the pick-and-place platform. Thus, the first robot only needs to move back and forth within a limited area between the second storage device and the pick-and-place platform to complete the transfer of the second component, eliminating the need for long-distance travel. This short travel distance and concentrated movements improve positioning accuracy and shorten the pick-and-place cycle time. Simultaneously, the assembly device and the first storage device are arranged along the width of the storage unit, with the first robot again positioned between them. In the width direction of the storage unit, the first robot can transfer the first component or modular assembly with a smaller travel distance, simplifying the transfer path and reducing the switching time between different actions of the first robot, thereby improving storage and transportation efficiency.

[0020] In one or more embodiments, the storage device further includes a detection device disposed within the storage compartment. The detection device is used to acquire assembly information of the modular components, and the first robot is also used to transfer the modular components assembled by the assembly device to the detection device.

[0021] The aforementioned solution seamlessly integrates assembly and testing within the same warehouse. Modular components can complete the entire process from assembly to testing without leaving the warehouse or undergoing manual handling. This reduces secondary contamination or accidental damage during transport, shortens waiting time and transport paths between assembly and testing, and facilitates real-time feedback and closed-loop control of assembly quality. Furthermore, the compact layout of testing equipment and assembly stations allows for timely verification of key mating parameters after assembly, enabling early detection and correction of assembly deviations. It also reduces the risk of defective products flowing into subsequent processes and requiring rework, further improving storage and transportation efficiency.

[0022] In one or more embodiments, the first storage device includes a plurality of storage compartments and a plurality of switch doors. The storage compartments are used to store the first component. The storage compartments have a first opening and a second opening at both ends along the width direction of the compartment body. The transfer device is used to load the first component disassembled from the assembly device into the storage compartment through the first opening. The switch doors are connected to the storage compartments and are used to open or close the second opening. Along the width direction of the compartment body, the compartment body has a second wall with a window. The switch doors are exposed through the window.

[0023] In the above solution, since the switch door is exposed through a window located on the second wall, maintenance personnel can directly open the switch door to maintain the first component housed in the storage compartment, thus improving the convenience of maintenance of the storage equipment.

[0024] In one or more embodiments, a removable tray is provided in the storage compartment. The tray is used to carry the first component. The assembly device is provided with a positioning component. The transfer device is used to transfer the tray to the positioning component and transfer the first component disassembled by the assembly device to the tray positioned in the positioning component. The transfer device is also used to transfer the tray loaded with the first component from the positioning component to the storage compartment through a first opening.

[0025] In the above solution, using a pallet to transfer the first component improves reliability during the transfer process and reduces the risk of damage to the first component by the transfer device. Simultaneously, the positioning components in the assembly device simplify the positioning between the transfer device and the assembly device, as well as between the transfer device and the storage compartment, thereby reducing the risk of accidental collisions and jamming of the transfer device during the handling of the first component. This helps maintain high storage and transportation efficiency in the storage equipment.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-2 This application provides a storage device 1000 for storing modular components, each modular component including an assemblable first component and a second component. The storage device 1000 includes a housing 100, a first storage device 200, a second storage device 300, an assembly device 400, a pick-and-place platform 500, and a transfer device 600. The first storage device 200 is disposed within the housing 100 and is used to store the first component. The second storage device 300 is disposed within the housing 100 and is used to store the second component. The assembly device 400 is disposed within the housing 100 and is used to assemble or disassemble the first and second components. The pick-and-place platform 500 is disposed within the housing 100 and is used to temporarily store the modular components. The transfer device 600 is disposed within the housing 100 and is used to transfer the modular components temporarily stored on the pick-and-place platform 500 to the assembly device 400, and also to transfer the first and second components disassembled by the assembly device 400 to the first storage device 200 and the second storage device 300, respectively.

[0034] In some embodiments, the modular component may be a component including reusable, high-value, replaceable, consumable, or functionally specific parts. For example, the first part may be a blade, and the second part a heat-shrink handle. For example, the first part may be a screwdriver head, and the second part a screwdriver handle. For example, the first part may be an electric toothbrush head, and the second part a brush handle. For example, the first part may be a cutting edge, and the second part a cutting handle.

[0035] It should be noted that the following explanation uses the first component as the blade and the second component as the heat-shrink handle as an example, but it is not limited to this.

[0036] In some embodiments, the dimensions of the storage unit 100 may be the same as those of a standard shipping container. The standard container may be a standard container used in transportation, such as 20-foot, 30-foot, 40-foot, or 45-foot containers, meeting the corresponding standards, with corresponding length, width, and height dimensions. Standard containers can refer to GB / T1413-2023 Series 1 for container classification, dimensions, and rated mass. This arrangement helps ensure that the storage unit 1000 as a whole meets transportation requirements, improving transportation convenience.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first storage device 200 may be a storage rack.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second storage device 300 may be a storage rack.

[0039] In some embodiments, the pick-and-place platform 500 may be spaced apart from the bottom wall of the storage unit 100 on the Z-side of the storage unit. This arrangement allows the transfer device 600 to perform transfers with a smaller working space.

[0040] In some embodiments, the pick-and-place platform 500 can be used to temporarily store trays transferred by a transfer robot, the trays being used to carry multiple modular components.

[0041] In some embodiments, the transfer device 600 may include a multi-axis robotic arm that is movable relative to the chamber 100 along the length direction X, the width direction Y, and the height direction Z of the chamber. This can be achieved, for example, by using multiple piston cylinders. The actuator of the multi-axis robotic arm may be equipped with a gripper that is simultaneously adapted to the picking and placing of the first component, the second component, and the modular assembly. Alternatively, the actuator of the multi-axis robotic arm may be equipped with multiple grippers, with at least one gripper adapted to the picking and placing of the first component, at least one gripper adapted to the picking and placing of the second component, and at least one gripper adapted to the picking and placing of the modular assembly.

[0042] In some embodiments, along the width direction Y of the storage unit 100, the storage unit 100 has a second wall 16, the second wall 16 is provided with a maintenance opening, and a maintenance door 92 is provided at the maintenance opening, which can be opened or closed. In the same projection plane perpendicular to the width direction Y of the storage unit, along the length direction X of the storage unit, the orthographic projection of the maintenance door 92 is located between the orthographic projections of the first storage device 200 and the second storage device 300. With this arrangement, when the maintenance door 92 is opened, the first storage device 200 and the second storage device 300 are on both sides, and a smaller maintenance space is required to allow maintenance personnel to maintain the first storage device 200 and the second storage device 300.

[0043] In some embodiments, the storage device 1000 further includes a control cabinet 91, which is located at a corner within the storage unit 100. The control cabinet 91 serves as the central control hub of the storage device 1000 and is used to centrally control the coordinated operation of the first storage device 200, the second storage device 300, the transfer device 600, and the assembly device 400.

[0044] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the first component and the second component are stored in the first storage device 200 and the second storage device 300 respectively, thus physically satisfying the requirement of separate storage. Based on this, the transfer device 600 installed within the storage unit 100 allows for the reciprocating transfer of the component between the first storage device 200, the second storage device 300, the assembly device 400, and the pick-and-place platform 500 without removing the component from the storage unit 100, thereby enabling the assembly or disassembly of the two components within the storage unit. Since cross-plant transport is no longer required, the risk of accidental damage such as bumps and scratches caused by multiple transfers is reduced. Simultaneously, the transfer path from storage to assembly is significantly shortened, improving the overall efficiency of the picking, matching, and assembly process. Because assembly and disassembly operations are completed within the same storage unit 100, the risk of contamination of high-precision mating surfaces is reduced. It also facilitates unified control and traceability of assembly cycle time, operation records, and quality data, thereby improving storage and transportation efficiency. Furthermore, by centrally arranging the first storage device 200, the second storage device 300, the assembly device 400, the pick-and-place platform 500, and the transfer device 600 within the same storage unit 100, the entire storage device 1000 can be transported, installed, and maintained as a single unit, thereby enhancing the transportation convenience, installation ease, and maintenance operability of the storage device 1000.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 The storage device 1000 also includes a transfer platform 700, which is located within the storage unit 100. The transfer device 600 includes a first robot 61 and a second robot 62. The first robot 61 is used to transfer modular components temporarily stored on the pick-and-place platform 500 to the assembly device 400, and also to transfer a first component and a second component disassembled from the assembly device 400 to the first storage device 200 and the transfer platform 700, respectively. The second robot 62 is used to transfer a second component from the transfer platform 700 to the second storage device 300.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first robot 61 has a first robot space, and the second robot 62 has a second robot space, the first robot space and the second robot space at least partially overlap. The transfer platform 700 is located within both the first robot space and the second robot space.

[0047] It should be noted that robot space is the set of spatial points that can be reached by the reference point describing the motion of the robot's end effector. Depending on the form of the motion coordinates, robot space presents different geometric shapes: rectangular coordinates correspond to a rectangular hexahedron, cylindrical coordinates form an open hollow cylinder, polar coordinates form a hollow spherical body, and articulated coordinates, constrained by revolute joints, are mostly hollow open truncated cones or combined spherical spaces.

[0048] In some embodiments, the transfer platform 700 includes a base, and a temporary storage slot is provided on the top of the base for temporarily storing the second component.

[0049] In the above scheme, the first robot 61 and the second robot 62 have clearly defined roles, and their workspaces only need to partially overlap and cover the transfer platform 700 to realize the transfer of modular components between the pick-and-place platform 500 and the first storage device 200 and the second storage device 300. The shorter travel distance and simpler movement paths of the first robot 61 and the second robot 62 are beneficial to improving the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the pick-and-place actions, while shortening the cycle time of a single pick-and-place operation, thereby further improving storage and transportation efficiency. In addition, with the reduced range of motion of the first robot 61 and the second robot 62, their installation space requirements and safety protection areas during movement are also correspondingly reduced, facilitating a compact layout of the overall structure of the storage device 1000 and increasing storage density.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The storage unit 100 includes a first storage unit 11 and a second storage unit 12 arranged along the length direction X of the storage unit. A first storage device 200, a pick-and-place platform 500, a first robot 61, a transfer platform 700, and an assembly device 400 are all disposed within the first storage unit 11, and a second storage device 300 is disposed within the second storage unit 12. The second storage unit 12 has a storage area 121 and a pick-and-place area 122 arranged along the width direction Y of the storage unit. The second storage device 300 includes at least one storage mechanism 31, and the storage mechanism 31 includes components arranged along the length of the storage unit. Multiple storage cabinets 311 are stacked in the storage area 121 in the direction X. The storage cabinets 311 are used to accommodate the second component. The storage cabinets 311 are movably disposed within the storage body 100 along the width direction Y of the storage body. The storage cabinets 311 located in the storage area 121 can move relative to the storage body 100, enabling at least a portion of the storage cabinets 311 to move to the pick-and-place area 122. The second robot 62 can move from the first storage body 11 to the pick-and-place area 122 along the length direction X of the storage body to transfer the second component on the transfer platform 700 to the storage cabinets 311.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first robot space includes a first portion located in the pick-and-place area 122 and a second portion located within the first compartment 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first compartment 11 and the second compartment 12 are integrally formed.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first compartment 11 and the second compartment 12 are separately formed and connected.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first robot 61 includes a support platform and a multi-axis robotic arm. Along the height direction Z of the storage compartment, the support platform is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the storage compartment 100, and the first multi-axis robotic arm is mounted on the first support platform. The execution end of the first multi-axis robotic arm is provided with a first gripper and a second gripper. The first gripper is used to pick up and place a first component, and the second gripper is used to pick up and place a pallet 23.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second robot 62 includes a second carrying platform and a second multi-axis robotic arm. The second carrying platform is movably disposed within the storage chamber 100 along the length direction X of the storage chamber, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the second carrying platform to move along the length direction X of the storage chamber.

[0056] In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 311 has a storage position and a retrieval position. When the storage cabinet 311 is in the storage position, it is located in the storage area 121. When the storage cabinet 311 is in the retrieval position, at least a portion of the storage cabinet 311 is located in the retrieval area 122 and exposes at least a portion of the retrieval opening 15.

[0057] In some embodiments, when multiple storage cabinets 311 are stacked along the length direction X of the storage body, the projection area defined by the projections of all storage cabinets 311 along the height direction Z of the storage body is the storage area 121.

[0058] In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 311 of the storage area 121 has an access channel communicating with the accommodating space on only one side along the length direction X of the storage body. This arrangement provides better airtightness of the accommodating space of the storage cabinet 311 when the storage cabinets 311 are stacked.

[0059] In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 311 of the storage area 121 has access channels on both sides along the length X of the storage body, which communicate with the receiving space of the storage cabinet 311. This arrangement allows for more flexible access to and from the items to be stored, and improves the convenience of access.

[0060] In some embodiments, the storage device 1000 includes a plurality of guide mechanisms 34, and each storage cabinet 311 is provided with at least one guide mechanism 34. The guide mechanism 34 connects the compartment 100 and the storage cabinet 311. The guide mechanism 34 is used to guide the storage cabinet 311 to move along the width direction Y of the compartment; along the height direction Z of the compartment, the guide mechanism 34 is located at the bottom of the storage cabinet 311.

[0061] In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 311 includes a frame and a plurality of partitions. The frame encloses a receiving space, and the plurality of partitions are connected to the frame. The plurality of partitions are spaced apart along the height direction Z of the cabinet and divide the receiving space into a plurality of subspaces. The subspaces are used to receive a portion of the item to be stored. The partitions are provided with positioning holes for positioning the item to be stored.

[0062] In the above scheme, within the second compartment 12, a storage area 121 and a retrieval area 122 are divided along the width direction Y of the compartment, and multiple storage cabinets 311 are stacked along the length direction X of the compartment in the storage area 121. Since the storage cabinets 311 can move relative to the second compartment 12 along the width direction Y of the compartment, at least a portion of the storage cabinets 311 can be moved to the retrieval area 122 to facilitate the second robot 62 in retrieving and placing the second component. Therefore, there is no need to reserve separate retrieval and placement space for each storage cabinet 311 stacked along the length direction X of the compartment; only a common retrieval and placement channel needs to be provided in the retrieval area 122. In this way, in the non-retrieval and placement state, the storage cabinets 311 can be arranged closely with a smaller spacing along the length direction X of the compartment, thereby increasing the number of stacked layers of storage cabinets 311 per unit area. At the same time, multiple storage cabinets 311 are allowed to move alternately as needed, reducing the ineffective intervals caused by the simultaneous exposure of the channel for the second robot 62 to retrieve and place the traditional fixed storage cabinets 311. Therefore, while ensuring convenient retrieval and placement, the redundant spacing between storage cabinets 311 is effectively reduced, increasing the number of items to be stored per unit area and improving the storage density per unit area. Furthermore, the second robot 62 does not need to enter the storage area 121; it only needs to move along the length X of the storage unit from the first storage unit 11 to the retrieval area 122 to complete the storage and retrieval of the second component. Its short travel distance and concentrated movements further shorten its retrieval cycle time and improve its positioning accuracy. Moreover, the starting position of the second robot 62 can be located within the first storage unit 11, making full use of the redundant space within the first storage unit 11 without occupying additional storage space in the second storage unit 12, thereby further improving the storage density of the second storage device 300. In addition, the arrangement of the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12 along the length X of the storage unit can fully utilize the space within the storage unit 100, making the storage device more compact and increasing storage density.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 3-6 The storage device 1000 also includes a traction mechanism 32 and a first drive mechanism 33. The traction mechanism 32 is movably disposed within the storage body 100 along the length direction X of the storage body. The traction mechanism 32 is at least partially located in the pick-and-place area 122. The traction mechanism 32 is used to selectively traction one of a plurality of storage cabinets 311 stacked along the length direction X of the storage body. The first drive mechanism 33 is used to drive the traction mechanism 32 to move along the length direction X of the storage body.

[0064] In some embodiments, the storage device includes a meshing gear and a rack, the rack extending along the length direction X of the storage body, at least a portion of the rack being located in the pick-and-place area 122, and a drive mechanism including a motor for driving the gear to rotate, thereby moving the traction mechanism 32 along the length direction X of the storage body.

[0065] In some embodiments, the traction mechanism 32 can also move along the length direction X of the bin body via a screw and nut pair, which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] In some embodiments, the traction mechanism 32 may include a piston cylinder, the piston rod of which is equipped with an electromagnet. The piston rod extends along the width direction Y of the compartment. The storage cabinet 311 is provided with a magnetic attraction part that cooperates with the electromagnet. When the electromagnet is energized, it can contact and lock with the magnetic attraction part. The extension and retraction of the piston rod realizes the movement of the storage cabinet 311 along the width direction Y of the compartment. When the traction mechanism 32 needs to move along the length direction X of the compartment to select a different storage cabinet 311, the electromagnet is de-energized. In some embodiments, the piston cylinder is a double piston rod piston cylinder.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 33 is a motor, and the output end of the motor realizes the movement of the traction mechanism 32 through a gear and rack pair.

[0068] In some embodiments, the traction mechanism 32 includes a base 321, a locking component 322, and a traction component 323. The base 321 is movably disposed within the storage unit 100 along the length direction X of the storage unit. Both the traction component 323 and the locking component 322 are disposed on the base 321. The traction component 323 is used to selectively traction one of a plurality of storage cabinets 311 stacked along the length direction X of the storage unit to switch between a storage position and a retrieval position. The locking component 322 is used to unlockably lock the storage cabinet 311 in the retrieval position. The bottom of the storage cabinet 311 is provided with a first stop portion 312 and a second stop portion 313 disposed opposite to each other. A limit gap 314 is formed between the first stop portion 312 and the second stop portion 313 along the width direction Y of the storage unit. The traction assembly 323 includes a drive sprocket 3231, a driven sprocket 3232, a chain 3233, a driver 3234, and a traction member 3235. Both the drive sprocket 3231 and the driven sprocket 3232 are rotatably mounted on the base 321. The chain 3233 surrounds the drive sprocket 3231 and the driven sprocket 3232. The driver 3234 drives the drive sprocket 3231 to rotate. The traction member 3235 is connected to the chain 3233. The traction member 3235 engages within the limiting gap 314 and moves along the width direction Y of the storage compartment following the chain 3233, thereby moving the storage cabinet 311 along the width direction Y of the storage compartment.

[0069] In some embodiments, both the first stop portion 312 and the second stop portion 313 are plate-shaped.

[0070] In some embodiments, along the length direction X of the chamber, the minimum size of the first stop portion 312 and the second stop portion 313 is greater than the maximum size of the projection of the traction member 3235 along the height direction Z of the chamber.

[0071] In some embodiments, the actuator 3234 may be a motor, a piston cylinder, or the like. For example, the piston cylinder may drive the drive sprocket 3231 to rotate via a rack and pinion pair.

[0072] In some embodiments, the traction assembly 323 further includes a tensioner, and the chain 3233 is arranged around the drive sprocket 3231, the driven sprocket 3232 and the tensioner.

[0073] In some embodiments, the driven sprocket 3232 includes a first driven sprocket 3232 and a second driven sprocket 3232, which are arranged along the width direction Y of the hopper body. The driving sprocket 3231 is located on one side of the first driven sprocket 3232 in the length direction X of the hopper body, and the driving sprocket 3231 is located on one side of the second driven sprocket 3232 in the length direction X of the hopper body. In the same projection plane perpendicular to the length direction X of the hopper body, the orthographic projection of the driving sprocket 3231 lies between the orthographic projections of the first driven sprocket 3232 and the second driven sprocket 3232.

[0074] In some embodiments, at the storage location, the second stop 313 is closer to the retrieval area 122 along the width direction Y of the storage body than the first stop 312. The chain 3233 includes a first straight path and a second straight path arranged along the length direction X of the storage body. The straight path is the path of movement along the width direction Y of the storage body. When the traction member 3235 moves along the first straight path with the chain 3233, the projection of the traction member 3235 along the width direction Y of the storage body does not overlap with the second stop 313. Furthermore, when the traction member 3235 moves along the arc path defined by the driven sprocket 3232 with the chain 3233, it can be engaged in the limiting gap 314. When the traction member 3235 moves along the second straight path with the chain 3233, the projection of the traction member 3235 along the width direction Y of the storage body overlaps with the second stop 313. The traction member 3235 moves in a straight line along the width direction Y of the storage body, pushing against the second stop 313 and moving in a straight line along the width direction Y of the storage body, thereby pulling out the storage cabinet 311. Similarly, when the drive sprocket 3231 reverses direction, the traction member 3235 can push against the first stop 312, pushing the storage cabinet 311 back to the storage position. It should be noted that the traction member 3235 can move with the chain 3233 to... Figure 5 The two driven sprockets 3232 define two arc-shaped trajectories to achieve traction of the storage cabinets 311 on both sides along the width Y direction of the warehouse.

[0075] It should be noted that the position of the traction component 323 in the length direction X of the bin can be pre-positioned by the sensor so that the traction component 3235 can be engaged in the limiting gap 314 during the movement of the chain 3233.

[0076] In the above scheme, a traction mechanism 32 that can move along the length X of the storage unit can selectively traction one of the multiple storage cabinets 311 stacked along the length X of the storage unit. That is, the same traction mechanism 32 can move back and forth along the length X of the storage unit, selectively acting on one storage cabinet 311 and pulling it to the retrieval area 122 along the width Y of the storage unit. The two storage units 31 can share the same traction mechanism 32, eliminating the need to set up a separate traction mechanism 32 for each storage unit 31, thereby reducing the space required to arrange the traction mechanism 32. While ensuring high access flexibility, the space utilization efficiency is improved, making the structure of the second storage device 300 more compact, and thus increasing the storage density.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A guide rail 13 is provided inside the storage compartment 100. The guide rail 13 extends along the length direction X of the storage compartment. A part of the guide rail 13 is located in the pick-and-place area 122, and another part is located inside the first storage compartment 11. The traction mechanism 32 and the second robot 62 can both be slidably mounted on the guide rail 13.

[0078] In some embodiments, the traction mechanism 32 and the second robot 62 both move along the length direction X of the chamber through the transmission of a gear and rack pair, with the rack arranged parallel to the guide rail 13.

[0079] In the above scheme, the traction mechanism 32 and the second robot 62 share the same guide rail 13, which makes the arrangement of various functional components in the storage device 1000 more compact, saves installation space and increases the storage density per unit volume. In addition, it also helps to free up more maintenance space and improve maintenance convenience.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 There are two storage areas 121 and two storage mechanisms 31. Along the width direction Y of the warehouse, the pick-and-place area 122 is located between the two storage areas 121, and the two storage mechanisms 31 are located in the two storage areas 121 respectively.

[0081] In some embodiments, along the width direction Y of the storage unit, the size of the retrieval area 122 is greater than or equal to the size of one storage area 121, and less than the sum of the sizes of two storage areas 121.

[0082] In the above scheme, along the width Y of the storage unit, the retrieval area 122 is located between two storage areas 121. Two storage mechanisms 31 are respectively arranged within the storage areas 121 on both sides, and the two storage mechanisms 31 can share the retrieval area 122. With this arrangement, storage cabinets 311 in one storage area 121 and those in the other storage area 121 can alternately move to the shared retrieval area 122 for retrieval operations, eliminating the need for a separate retrieval channel for each storage mechanism 31, thereby reducing the total area occupied by the retrieval area 122. The saved space can be used to expand the area of ​​the storage area 121 or add more storage cabinets 311, thus allowing the storage device to accommodate more items within the same floor area, increasing the overall storage density.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Along the length direction X of the storage unit 100, the storage unit 100 has a first wall 14, and the first wall 14 is provided with a pick-and-place opening 15. A pick-and-place platform 500 and a second storage device 300 are arranged along the length direction X of the storage unit. Along the length direction X of the storage unit, the pick-and-place platform 500 is closer to the pick-and-place opening 15 than the second storage device 300. A first robot 61 is located between the second storage device 300 and the pick-and-place platform 500. An assembly device 400 and a first storage device 200 are arranged along the width direction Y of the storage unit. Along the width direction Y of the storage unit, the first robot 61 is located between the assembly device 400 and the first storage device 200.

[0084] In some embodiments, a door is provided at the pick-up / placement opening 15, and the door is used to open or close the pick-up / placement opening 15.

[0085] Along the length X of the storage unit, the pick-and-place platform 500 is closer to the pick-and-place port 15 than the second storage device 300, and the first robot 61 is located between the second storage device 300 and the pick-and-place platform 500. The assembly device 400 and the first storage device 200 are arranged along the width Y of the storage unit, and along the width Y of the storage unit, the first robot 61 is located between the assembly device 400 and the first storage device 200. This means that the assembly device 400, the first storage device 200, the second storage device 300, and the pick-and-place platform 500 are distributed around the first robot 61.

[0086] In the above scheme, along the length X of the storage unit, the pick-and-place platform 500 is closer to the pick-and-place port 15 than the second storage device 300, and the first robot 61 is arranged between the second storage device 300 and the pick-and-place platform 500. Thus, the first robot 61 only needs to move back and forth within a limited area between the second storage device 300 and the pick-and-place platform 500 to complete the transfer of the second component, eliminating the need for long-distance travel. This short travel distance and concentrated movements improve positioning accuracy and shorten the pick-and-place cycle time. Simultaneously, the assembly device 400 and the first storage device 200 are arranged along the width Y of the storage unit, with the first robot 61 also positioned between them. Along the width Y of the storage unit, the first robot 61 can achieve the transfer of the first component or modular assembly with a smaller travel distance, simplifying the transfer path and reducing the switching time between different actions of the first robot 61, thereby improving storage and transportation efficiency.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 The storage device 1000 also includes a detection device 800, which is located inside the storage unit 100. The detection device 800 is used to obtain the assembly information of the modular components. The first robot 61 is also used to transfer the modular components assembled by the assembly device 400 to the detection device 800.

[0088] In some embodiments, assembly information may include the dimensions of the first component, the dimensions of the second component, and the assembly tolerances of the first and second components.

[0089] In the above-described scheme, assembly and testing are seamlessly integrated within the same storage unit 100. Modular components can complete the entire flow from assembly to testing without leaving the storage unit or undergoing manual handling. This reduces secondary contamination or accidental damage during transportation, shortens waiting time and flow paths between assembly and testing, and facilitates real-time feedback and closed-loop control of assembly quality. Simultaneously, the compact layout of the testing device 800 and the assembly station allows for timely verification of key mating parameters after assembly, enabling early detection and correction of assembly deviations. This also reduces the risk of defective products flowing into subsequent processes and requiring rework, further improving storage and transportation efficiency.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8The first storage device 200 includes a plurality of storage compartments 21 and a plurality of switch doors 22. The storage compartments 21 are used to store the first component. The storage compartments 21 have a first opening and a second opening at both ends along the width direction Y of the compartment body. The transfer device 600 is used to load the first component disassembled from the assembly device 400 into the storage compartments 21 through the first opening. The switch doors 22 are connected to the storage compartments 21 and are used to open or close the second opening. Along the width direction Y of the compartment body, the compartment body 100 has a second wall 16. The second wall 16 is provided with a window, and the switch doors 22 are exposed through the window.

[0091] In some embodiments, a support is provided in the storage compartment 21 for supporting the first component.

[0092] In some embodiments, the door 22 is provided with an observation window, which allows staff to observe the first component housed in the storage compartment 21 from outside the compartment 100.

[0093] In the above solution, since the switch door 22 is exposed through the window provided on the second wall 16, maintenance personnel can directly open the switch door 22 to maintain the first component housed in the storage compartment 21, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the storage device 1000.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8 The storage compartment 21 is provided with a removable tray 23, which is used to carry the first component. The assembly device 400 is provided with a positioning component 41. The transfer device 600 is used to transfer the tray 23 to the positioning component 41 and to transfer the first component disassembled by the assembly device 400 to the tray 23 positioned on the positioning component 41. The transfer device 600 is also used to transfer the tray 23 loaded with the first component from the positioning component 41 through the first opening to the storage compartment 21.

[0095] In some embodiments, the positioning component 41 is a positioning frame.

[0096] In some embodiments, a support is provided in the storage compartment 21, and a stop is provided at one end of the support near the first opening along the width direction Y of the compartment body. The stop is used to restrict the tray 23 from detaching from the support along the width direction Y of the compartment body.

[0097] In some embodiments, the tray 23 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes for receiving a first component. For example, the plurality of positioning holes on the same tray 23 are used to receive a first component of the same specification.

[0098] In the above scheme, transferring the first component via pallet 23 improves the reliability of the transfer process and reduces the risk of damage to the first component by the transfer device 600. Simultaneously, the positioning component 41 in the assembly device 400 simplifies the positioning between the transfer device 600 and the assembly device 400, as well as between the transfer device 600 and the storage compartment 21, thereby reducing the risk of the transfer device 600 accidentally colliding and jamming during the handling of the first component. This helps maintain high storage and transportation efficiency in the storage device 1000.

[0099] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The transfer robot or staff will send the heat shrink cutter into the pick-and-place platform 500 inside the compartment 100 through the pick-and-place port 15. The first robot 61 will grab the heat shrink cutter and transport it to the assembly device 400. The assembly device 400 will disassemble the heat shrink cutter into a heat shrink handle and a blade. The first robot 61 will store the blade in the first storage device 200 and transfer the heat shrink handle to the transfer platform 700. The second robot 62 will transfer the heat shrink handle from the transfer platform 700 to the second storage device 300.

[0100] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them.
