Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehousing materials technology, specifically to an intelligent warehousing and logistics system with automatic unpacking function. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent warehousing and logistics systems are a crucial component of modern factories and logistics centers, widely used in electronics manufacturing, automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce. In intelligent warehousing systems, the inbound, storage, and outbound processes of materials are core operational links, directly impacting warehousing efficiency and logistics costs. In electronic component warehousing management, incoming material trays (such as 7-inch and 13 / 15-inch sizes) are typically received in two states: new material trays wrapped in anti-static packaging bags, and bare trays with the packaging removed (often production line surplus or used leftover material). For new material trays with packaging bags, the tray's disc-shaped structure and the smooth, wrinkled surface of the packaging bag easily generate stress. If placed directly into the intelligent warehouse in its packaged state, the tray is prone to sliding and misalignment within the storage location, and robotic arms struggle to stably grasp and position the softly packaged trays. Therefore, before being put into storage, the packaged trays need to be placed into standard-shaped boxes to limit and fix the trays, making it easier for the robotic arms in the smart warehouse to grab and stack them.

[0003] However, existing warehousing systems mostly rely on manual removal of packaged trays when they are shipped out. This is labor-intensive, inefficient, and makes it difficult to recycle the trays, thus failing to meet the demands of high-speed production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in recycling material boxes in existing warehousing material systems that rely on manual unpacking.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent warehousing and logistics system with automatic unpacking function includes a first intelligent warehouse and a second intelligent warehouse arranged side by side. The inlet of the first intelligent warehouse is connected to several first feeding lines, and the outlet of the first intelligent warehouse is equipped with an unpacking machine. A material box return line is arranged at the bottom inner side of the first intelligent warehouse. The output end of the material box return line extends to the outside of the inlet of the first intelligent warehouse. A packaging line is arranged at the output end of the material box return line. The packaging line is a double-layered line with opposite flow directions. The material box return line is connected to the lower layer of the packaging line. A palletizer is arranged at the end of the packaging line. Several packaging loading stations are arranged on the upper layer of the packaging line. The upper layer of the packaging line is connected to the first feeding lines. The unpacking machine includes a frame. The frame has a first opening on the side facing the first intelligent warehouse. A second opening is opened on the side wall of the frame. An outlet line is arranged horizontally inside the second opening. An unpacking mechanism is arranged on the side of the outlet line.

[0007] Furthermore, the unpacking mechanism includes a pair of second lifting modules symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the first opening. The lifting platform of the second lifting module is fixedly connected to a lifting frame. The top of the lifting frame is provided with a lifting flow line. A pair of baffles are vertically fixedly connected to the top of the side of the lifting frame facing the discharge flow line. A lifting cylinder is vertically arranged at the bottom of the inner side of the lifting flow line. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to a top head. A pair of lower suction cups are arranged on both sides of the lifting cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a first linear module is horizontally arranged on the top of the side wall of the frame, a second linear module is horizontally arranged on the moving platform of the first linear module, the second linear module is vertically arranged with the first linear module, a first lifting module is vertically arranged on the moving platform of the second linear module, and an upper suction cup is fixedly connected to the lifting platform of the first lifting module.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper suction cup is circular, and several suction holes are evenly distributed around its axis at the bottom of the upper suction cup.

[0010] Furthermore, several first baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting flow line, and several second baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge flow line.

[0011] Furthermore, the inlet of the second intelligent warehouse is connected to several second feeding lines, and a buffer line is set between the second feeding lines and the first feeding line.

[0012] Furthermore, a height measuring mechanism is provided on the top layer of the packaging flow line away from the palletizer.

[0013] Furthermore, the discharge end of the discharge flow line and the discharge port of the second intelligent warehouse are both connected to the outbound flow line. The outbound flow line is a double-layer flow line, and an elevator is installed at the connection between the discharge end of the discharge flow line, the discharge port of the second intelligent warehouse, and the outbound flow line.

[0014] Furthermore, a labeling machine is installed at the discharge end of the outbound flow line.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper discharge end of the outbound flow line is connected to a first discharge flow line, and the lower discharge end of the outbound flow line is connected to a second discharge flow line.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. The present invention provides an intelligent warehousing and logistics system with automatic unpacking function. By setting up an unpacking machine, a lifting conveyor line is used to receive a material box containing a material tray. A lifting cylinder drives the top head to push the material tray out of the material box. An upper suction cup adsorbs the upper surface of the material tray and moves it to the output of the discharge conveyor line. A lower suction cup adsorbs the bottom of the material box to fix the material box. This realizes the automatic unpacking and removal of the material tray when leaving the warehouse, improves the unpacking efficiency, and reduces the damage to the material tray caused by manual operation.

[0018] 2. The present invention provides an intelligent warehousing and logistics system with automatic unpacking function. By setting up a box return line, a packaging flow line and a palletizer, the empty boxes after unpacking can be returned to the lower layer of the packaging flow line via the box return line, and then transported in reverse by the packaging flow line to the palletizer for palletizing and recycling. This realizes the automatic recycling of empty boxes and improves the automation level and operational efficiency of warehousing and logistics. Attached Figure Description

[0028] 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, and 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-7This embodiment of an intelligent warehousing and logistics system with automatic unpacking function includes a first intelligent warehouse 1 and a second intelligent warehouse 2 arranged side by side. The inlet of the first intelligent warehouse 1 is connected to several first feeding flow lines 3, and the outlet of the first intelligent warehouse 1 is equipped with an unpacking machine 4. A material box return flow line 6 is provided on the inner bottom of the first intelligent warehouse 1. The output end of the material box return flow line 6 extends to the outside of the inlet of the first intelligent warehouse 1. A packaging flow line 9 is provided at the output end of the material box return flow line 6. The packaging flow line 9 is a double-layer flow line with opposite flow directions. The material box return line 6 is connected to the lower layer of the packaging flow line 9. A palletizer 8 is provided at the end of the packaging flow line 9. Several packaging feeding stations are provided on the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9. The upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 is connected to the first feeding flow line 3. The unpacking machine 4 includes a frame 401. A first opening 402 is provided on the side of the frame 401 facing the first intelligent warehouse 1. A second opening 403 is provided on the side wall of the frame 401. A discharge flow line 404 is horizontally arranged on the inner side of the second opening 403. An unpacking mechanism is provided on the side of the discharge flow line 404. When new materials are received, the palletizer 8 sorts and pallets of different sizes (7-inch and 13 / 15-inch) and then transports the palletized boxes to the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 to the packaging loading station. At the packaging loading station, workers or robots place the new materials to be received into the corresponding empty boxes on the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 according to their size. The boxes are then transported through the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 and connected to the first feeding flow line 3 before being sent to the first intelligent warehouse 1 for storage. When materials are out of the warehouse, the unpacking machine 4 separates the trays from the boxes. The empty boxes from the unpacking machine 4 are returned to the lower layer of the packaging flow line 9 by the box return flow line 6, and then transported in the opposite direction from the lower layer of the packaging flow line 9 to the palletizer 8 for palletizing and recycling. The flow directions of the upper and lower layers of the packaging flow line 9 are opposite, realizing the parallel operation of new material transportation and empty box recycling. Through the above steps, the automatic recycling of empty boxes can be realized, improving the automation level and operational efficiency of warehousing and logistics.

[0030] The unpacking mechanism includes a pair of second lifting modules 410 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the first opening 402. The lifting platform of the second lifting module 410 is fixedly connected to a lifting frame 411. The top of the lifting frame 411 is provided with a lifting flow line 412. A pair of baffles 415 are vertically fixedly connected to the top of the side of the lifting frame 411 facing the discharge flow line 404. A lifting cylinder 413 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the inner side of the lifting flow line 412. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 413 is fixedly connected to a top head 418. A pair of lower suction cups 414 are provided on both sides of the lifting cylinder 413. During unpacking, the lifting conveyor 412 is positioned at a high level connected to the discharge port of the first intelligent compartment 1. The material box containing the tray enters the unpacking machine 4 from the discharge port of the first intelligent compartment 1 through the first opening 402 and is conveyed onto the lifting conveyor 412. The stop bar 415 blocks and positions the material box, stopping it at the unpacking station. The lifting cylinder 413 drives the top head 418 to lift upward, pushing the tray out of the material box and separating the tray from the material box. The lower suction cup 414 adsorbs the bottom of the material box, fixing it and preventing displacement during the lifting process. The separated tray is adsorbed and removed by the upper suction cup 408, while the empty material box remains on the lifting conveyor 412 to await return. Through the above steps, the automatic separation of the tray and the material box can be achieved, resulting in high unpacking efficiency and reduced damage to the tray caused by manual operation. The stop bar 415 precisely positions the material box to ensure accurate lifting position.

[0031] A first linear module 405 is horizontally arranged on the top of the side wall of the frame 401. A second linear module 406 is horizontally arranged on the moving platform of the first linear module 405. The second linear module 406 is vertically arranged with the first linear module 405. A first lifting module 407 is vertically arranged on the moving platform of the second linear module 406. An upper suction cup 408 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform of the first lifting module 407. The upper suction cup 408 is circular, and a plurality of suction holes 409 are evenly opened around its axis at the bottom of the upper suction cup 408. After the lifting cylinder 413 pushes the tray out of the material box, the upper suction cup 408 moves above the tray and descends under the drive of the first linear module 405, the second linear module 406 and the first lifting module 407. The suction hole 409 at the bottom of the upper suction cup 408 generates negative pressure to adsorb the upper surface of the tray. After adsorption, the upper suction cup 408 rises and takes the tray out of the material box. It is then transferred by the first linear module 405 and the second linear module 406 to the discharge flow line 404 at the second opening 403. The upper suction cup 408 releases the negative pressure and places the tray on the discharge flow line 404 for output. Through the above steps, the tray can be automatically transferred from the unpacking station to the discharge flow line 404, further improving the unpacking efficiency.

[0032] Several first stops 406 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting conveyor 412, and several second stops 417 are fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge conveyor 404. When the material box is conveyed on the lifting conveyor 412, the first stops 416 limit and guide the two sides of the material box to prevent the material box from deviating during the conveying process; when the material tray is output on the discharge conveyor 404, the second stops 417 limit and guide the two sides of the material tray to prevent the material tray from slipping off the side of the conveyor.

[0033] The inlet of the second intelligent warehouse 2 is connected to several second feeding lines 10, and a buffer line 11 is set between the second feeding lines 10 and the first feeding line 3. The bare pallets are transported to the second intelligent warehouse 2 for storage via the second feeding lines 10; the buffer line 11 connects the first feeding line 3 and the second feeding line 10. When the inlet of the first intelligent warehouse 1 or the second intelligent warehouse 2 is busy, the buffer line 11 temporarily buffers the incoming materials to balance the feeding rhythm of the two warehouses.

[0034] A height measuring mechanism 7 is installed on the top layer of the packaging flow line 9, away from the palletizer 8. Before the trays containing packaging bags are conveyed to the packaging loading station on the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9, they pass through the height measuring mechanism 7. The height measuring mechanism 7 measures the thickness of the trays and boxes, determines the size of the trays, and feeds the measurement data back to the control system to facilitate the allocation of storage space for boxes of different sizes.

[0035] The discharge end of the discharge flow line 404 and the discharge port of the second intelligent warehouse 2 are both connected to the outbound flow line 5. The outbound flow line 5 is a double-layer flow line. A lift is installed at the connection between the discharge end of the discharge flow line 404 and the discharge port of the second intelligent warehouse 2 and the outbound flow line 5. The trays output from the unpacking machine 4 after unpacking are sent to the connection of the outbound flow line 5 via the discharge flow line 404. The bare trays from the second intelligent warehouse 2 are also sent to the connection of the outbound flow line 5. The lift raises the trays to the upper or lower layer of the outbound flow line 5 according to the size of the trays (7 inches or 13 / 15 inches), realizing the layered conveying and outbound diversion of trays of different sizes.

[0036] A labeling machine 12 is installed at the discharge end of the outbound flow line 5. The upper discharge end of the outbound flow line 5 is connected to the first unloading flow line, and the lower discharge end of the outbound flow line 5 is connected to the second unloading flow line. The material trays are conveyed to the discharge end via the outbound flow line 5, and the labeling machine 12 affixes labels to each outbound material tray, marking the material information, date, and batch. After labeling, the material trays enter the first unloading flow line or the second unloading flow line according to their layer (upper or lower), and are conveyed to different downstream processes or material-using stations. Through the above steps, the outbound material trays can be automatically labeled, which facilitates subsequent traceability and management. The upper and lower layers of the outbound flow line 5 are connected to the first unloading flow line and the second unloading flow line, respectively, to realize the independent output of material trays of different specifications or with different destinations, thereby improving the flexibility of outbound diversion.

[0037] Working principle: When new materials are received, the palletizer 8 sorts and pallets of different sizes (7-inch and 13 / 15-inch) and then transports the palletized boxes to the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 to the packaging loading station. At the packaging loading station, workers or robots place the new materials to be received into the corresponding empty boxes on the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 according to their size. The boxes are then transported through the upper layer of the packaging flow line 9 and connected to the first feeding flow line 3 before being sent to the first intelligent warehouse 1 for storage. When materials are out of the warehouse, the unpacking machine 4 separates the trays from the boxes. The empty boxes from the unpacking machine 4 are returned to the lower layer of the packaging flow line 9 by the box return flow line 6, and then transported in the opposite direction from the lower layer of the packaging flow line 9 to the palletizer 8 for palletizing and recycling. The flow directions of the upper and lower layers of the packaging flow line 9 are opposite, realizing the parallel operation of new material transportation and empty box recycling. Through the above steps, the automatic recycling of empty boxes can be realized, improving the automation level and operational efficiency of warehousing and logistics.

[0038] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
