Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehousing system technology, specifically a three-dimensional warehousing system for intelligent processing and production of aluminum materials. Background Technology
[0002] Strip aluminum materials and aluminum profiles are widely used in building curtain walls, transportation, and industrial manufacturing. As the aluminum processing industry transforms towards intelligent and lean production, the efficiency of internal logistics and warehousing directly affects the overall production line capacity and cost.
[0003] Whether operating with forklifts or stacker cranes, wide aisles must be maintained between or along the sides of racks. A significant amount of factory space is occupied by these aisles, leading to a decrease in effective storage density. This is especially true for longer aluminum sections, where rack spacing is often even greater, resulting in particularly significant space waste. Ordinary forks or lifting devices offer few support points for extra-long aluminum sections, making them prone to swaying and bending during storage and retrieval. Furthermore, manual or semi-automatic methods struggle to achieve precise lateral positioning, making the storage and retrieval of multiple aluminum sections in the same location cumbersome.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent automated storage system for aluminum processing and production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a three-dimensional storage system for intelligent aluminum processing and production, comprising a shelf, wherein the shelf is a multi-row, multi-layer three-dimensional frame; a vertical guide rail is fixed in front of each row of frames of the shelf, and a horizontal guide rail is connected above each vertical guide rail; a slide bar is provided in front of the shelf, which can slide between two adjacent vertical guide rails or in the horizontal guide rail; a support rod is provided in front of the slide bar; a moving component is provided on the slide bar; a horizontal slider is slidably provided above the horizontal guide rail; two first pull ropes are provided inside the horizontal slider through a hoisting mechanism, and the two first pull ropes are connected to both sides of the slide bar.
[0006] Furthermore, a first lead screw is rotatably mounted above the horizontal guide rail, one end of which is connected to a first drive motor, and the horizontal slider is threadedly connected to the first lead screw.
[0007] Furthermore, vertical plates are fixed on both sides of the slider, and an upper guide rail is connected to the upper end of the vertical plates. The moving component is located below the upper guide rail.
[0008] Furthermore, each end of the slider is fixed with a sliding pin on its back side, and the sliding pin can be slidably embedded into the vertical guide rail or the horizontal guide rail.
[0009] Furthermore, the moving component includes two parallel side plates, a friction belt is provided between the two side plates, and a driving device is provided within the friction belt.
[0010] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixed to the front end of the side plate, a fine-tuning slider is slidably disposed on the upper guide rail, the fine-tuning slider is slidably disposed on the side of the connecting plate, and a telescopic cylinder is disposed between the side plate and the fine-tuning slider.
[0011] Furthermore, a second lead screw is rotatably mounted on the upper guide rail, and a second drive motor is mounted on one end of the second lead screw. The second lead screw is threadedly connected through the fine-tuning slider.
[0012] Furthermore, a support rod is fixed at the front of each end of the slide bar. The support rod is a multi-section telescopic rod, and the front ends of each section of the telescopic rod on both sides are connected together by a crossbar.
[0013] Furthermore, each section of the support rod is equipped with a spring.
[0014] Furthermore, the horizontal slider is provided with two second pull ropes connected by a winch mechanism, and the two second pull ropes are respectively fixed to the ends of the two support rods.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] In this invention, in traditional warehousing, forklifts or manual labor need to enter the aisles between shelves for storage and retrieval, which requires reserving wide aisles and a lot of space is wasted. In this device, all storage and retrieval operations are completed on the front of the shelf: the slider lifts and lowers along each column of vertical guide rails to retrieve goods, and then moves them laterally to the target position via horizontal guide rails. No aisles are needed on the back and sides of the shelf, and multiple shelves can be arranged closely side by side with zero gaps in between.
[0017] In this invention, the inner winch mechanism of the horizontal slider, in conjunction with the first pull rope, quickly realizes the lifting and lowering of the slider; the first lead screw and the first drive motor drive the horizontal slider to move laterally, enabling rapid positioning of any column and any layer, with short storage and retrieval cycle time; the friction belt, telescopic cylinder and the second lead screw in the moving component automatically complete the gripping, pulling out and pushing in of the aluminum material without manual intervention, greatly reducing labor intensity.
[0018] The support rod is a multi-section telescopic rod, with its extension length independently controlled by a second pull rope. It can accommodate aluminum strips of different lengths, preventing deformation due to suspension. The moving component is driven by a second lead screw to make lateral fine adjustments to the slider, allowing the friction strip to be aligned with aluminum strips at different lateral positions within the same frame.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, an intelligent aluminum processing and production three-dimensional storage system includes a shelf 1, which is a multi-column, multi-layer three-dimensional frame; each column of the shelf 1 is fixed with a vertical guide rail 2 in front of it, and a horizontal guide rail 3 is connected above each vertical guide rail 2; a slide bar 4 is provided in front of the shelf 1, which can slide between two adjacent vertical guide rails 2 or in the horizontal guide rail 3; a support rod 5 is provided in front of the slide bar 4; a moving component 7 is provided on the slide bar 4; a horizontal slider 6 is slidably provided above the horizontal guide rail 3; two first pull ropes 61 connected by a hoisting mechanism are provided inside the horizontal slider 6; the two first pull ropes 61 are connected to both sides of the slide bar 4.
[0026] The hoisting mechanism inside the horizontal slider 6 releases or retracts synchronously through two first pull ropes 61, causing the slider 4 to slide down or up along the vertical guide rail 2 of the corresponding column; after the slider 4 reaches the designated layer, the moving component 7 on it grabs the strip aluminum material from the layer position of the shelf 1 and transports it to the support rod 5 in front of the slider 4 (picking process), or pushes the aluminum material already on the support rod 5 into the corresponding frame of the shelf 1 (storage process).
[0027] The hoisting mechanism once again lifts the slider 4 to the height of the horizontal guide rail 3 through the first pull rope 61, so that the slider 4 is separated from the vertical guide rail 2 and enters the sliding area of the horizontal guide rail 3. The horizontal slider 6 slides laterally, driving the slider 4 to move laterally along the horizontal guide rail 3 to above other target columns at the outlet.
[0028] The hoisting mechanism drives the slide bar 4 to descend along the vertical guide rail 2 of the new column to the shipping station layer or the designated frame, and the moving component 7 unloads the aluminum material from the support rod 5 to the target position.
[0029] In this embodiment, a first lead screw 8 is rotatably disposed above the horizontal guide rail 3, one end of the first lead screw 8 is connected to a first drive motor 81, and the horizontal slider 6 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 8.
[0030] The first drive motor 81 drives the first lead screw 8, which in turn drives the horizontal slider 6 to slide laterally.
[0031] In this embodiment, vertical plates 42 are fixed on both sides of the slide bar 4, and an upper guide rail 41 is connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 42. The moving component 7 is disposed below the upper guide rail 41.
[0032] In this embodiment, each of the two ends of the slide bar 4 is fixed with a sliding pin 43 on its back side, and the sliding pin 43 can be slidably embedded into the vertical guide rail 2 or the horizontal guide rail 3.
[0033] In this embodiment, the moving component 7 includes two parallel side plates 71, a friction belt 72 is provided between the two side plates 71, and a driving device is provided in the friction belt 72.
[0034] In other words, when the friction band 72 is attached to the upper surface of the aluminum material, it can drive the aluminum material to slide back and forth, thereby picking up or unloading goods.
[0035] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 73 is fixed to the front end of the side plate 71, a fine-tuning slider 74 is slidably disposed on the upper guide rail 41, the fine-tuning slider 74 is slidably disposed on the side of the connecting plate 73, and a telescopic cylinder 75 is disposed between the side plate 71 and the fine-tuning slider 74.
[0036] The telescopic cylinder 75 can drive the side plate 71 and friction belt 72 to slide back and forth, so that after the slide bar 4 slides to the corresponding position, the side plate 71 and friction belt 72 can be slid into the shelf 1 and attached to the aluminum material.
[0037] In this embodiment, a second lead screw 76 is rotatably mounted on the upper guide rail 41, and a second drive motor 77 is mounted on one end of the second lead screw 76. The second lead screw 76 is threaded through the fine-tuning slider 74.
[0038] The second drive motor 77 drives the second lead screw 76, which in turn drives the fine-tuning slider 74 to slide laterally between the upper guide rails 41. This allows for adjustment of the lateral position of the side plate 71 and the friction belt 72, thereby enabling the picking up or unloading of aluminum materials at different positions within the same frame.
[0039] In this embodiment, a support rod 5 is fixed at the front of each end of the slide bar 4. The support rod 5 is a multi-section telescopic rod, and the front ends of each section of the telescopic rod on both sides are connected together by a crossbar 51.
[0040] In this embodiment, each section of the telescopic rod of the support rod 5 is equipped with a spring.
[0041] In this embodiment, the horizontal slider 6 is provided with two second pull ropes 62 connected by a winch mechanism, and the two second pull ropes 62 are respectively fixed to the ends of the two support rods 5.
[0042] When the first pull rope 61 and the second pull rope 62 are wound up simultaneously, the slide bar 4 and the support rod 5 rise and fall simultaneously. When the second pull rope 62 is wound up alone, the support rod 5 can be extended and retracted to accommodate aluminum materials of different lengths and facilitate loading or transfer.
[0043] In practice, the horizontal slider 6 drives the slider 4 to slide along the horizontal guide rail 3, so that the slider 4 is aligned with the top of the target column vertical guide rail 2;
[0044] The hoisting mechanism inside the horizontal slider 6 releases the two first pull ropes 61, and the sliding pins 43 on both sides of the slider 4 slide downwards along the vertical guide rail 2 of the target column. The slider 4 stops after descending to the specified floor height;
[0045] The telescopic cylinder 75 in the moving component 7 pushes the side plate 71 and the friction belt 72 to extend into the shelf 1. The second drive motor 77 drives the second lead screw 76 to adjust the lateral position of the friction belt 72 so that it is aligned with the target aluminum material. The drive device inside the friction belt 72 rotates and pulls the aluminum material off the shelf 1 through friction and moves it to the two support rods 5 in front of the slide bar 4.
[0046] If the aluminum material is long, the winch mechanism inside the horizontal slider 6 can independently wind up the second pull rope 62, stretch the multi-section telescopic support rod 5 outward, and maintain the support force through the internal spring, so that the aluminum material is placed stably.
[0047] The hoisting mechanism retracts the first pull rope 61, lifting the slide bar 4 carrying aluminum material upwards along the vertical guide rail 2 until the sliding pin 43 rises to the height of the horizontal guide rail 3. The slide bar 4 then disengages from the vertical guide rail. The first drive motor 81 drives the first lead screw 8 to rotate, causing the horizontal slider 6 and the slide bar 4 to slide laterally along the horizontal guide rail 3, moving them to the top of the shipping port or other target column. The hoisting mechanism releases the first pull rope 61 again, and the slide bar 4 descends along the vertical guide rail 2 of the new column to the designated layer height (or shipping station). If stored in the shelf: the moving component 7 reverses its action, and the friction belt 72 drives the aluminum material to slide forward from the support rod 5 and push it into the corresponding frame of the shelf 1. If shipped to the station: the slide bar 4 descends to the shipping height, and the moving component 7 pushes the aluminum material from the support rod 5 to the receiving device of the next process.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
