[0028] The utility model provides a three-dimensional container 100, which can be used to store goods. Figure 1 and Figure 2The three-dimensional container 100 includes a cargo cavity 1, a bearing structure 2, a limiting structure 3 and a detection structure 4, wherein the cargo cavity 1 has at least a cavity opening arranged forward; the bearing structure 2 is arranged at the bottom of the cargo cavity 1, and is used to support cargo; the limiting structure 3 is arranged on the side of the cargo cavity 1 opposite to the cavity opening, and is used to limit the placement depth of cargo placed on the bearing structure 2; the detection structure 4 is arranged at the bottom of the cargo cavity 1, and is arranged closer to the cavity opening than the limiting structure 3, and is used to detect whether cargo is placed on the bearing structure 2.
[0029] In the utility model, goods can be stored in the cargo cavity 1 from the cavity opening of the cargo cavity 1 or can be taken out from the cavity opening; the bearing structure 2 can place the goods stored in the cargo cavity 1 at a certain height to form a certain gap with the cavity bottom of the cargo cavity 1, so as to facilitate the stacker to take and place the goods; the storage depth of the goods can be limited by the limiting structure 3, so that when the stacker places the goods, the goods abut against the limiting structure 3, indicating that they are stored in place, thereby better ensuring the placement of the goods; and a detection structure 4 is also provided, through which the detection structure 4 can detect whether the goods are placed on the bearing structure 2, so as to display whether the goods have been stored in the three-dimensional container 100, which is more convenient for users to manage the three-dimensional container 100. The three-dimensional container 100 provided by the utility model makes the storage information of the goods more reliable, more convenient for the storage management of the goods, conducive to improving the efficiency of taking and placing the goods, and can better protect property and equipment.
[0030] Preferably, in the present invention, each of the three-dimensional containers 100 can be used to store a battery assembly, so that the arrangement of the battery assemblies is more neat and regular, thereby making it easier to access and manage the battery assemblies.
[0031] Among them, combined Figure 1 As shown, the cargo cavity 1 is roughly square in shape, with a left cavity wall and a right cavity wall arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction, and a top cavity wall and a bottom cavity wall arranged opposite to each other in the up-down direction. The cavity opening is located at the front side of the cargo cavity 1, the limiting structure 3 is located at the rear side of the cargo cavity 1, and the bearing structure 2 is arranged on the bottom cavity wall. When the cargo (such as a battery assembly) is placed in place in the cargo cavity 1, the bottom of the cargo is placed on the bearing structure 2 to be spaced apart from the bottom cavity wall, so as to facilitate the stacker to take and place. The cargo abuts against the limiting structure 3 to ensure that it is placed in place, so that the placement of the cargo is more accurate. The detection structure 4 is located on the bottom cavity wall and is arranged close to the rear side of the cargo cavity 1, so that after the cargo is fully placed in place, the detection structure 4 can better detect the cargo. If there is no special description in the utility model, the description of the relevant orientation can be referred to here.
[0032] Preferably, the detection structure 4 includes at least two position sensors 41, and at least two of the position sensors 41 are respectively located on both sides of the supporting structure 2. When the cargo is placed slightly offset, at least one of the at least two position sensors 41 can still detect whether the cargo exists, thereby ensuring that the detection result is more reliable.
[0033] Furthermore, each of the position sensors 41 is configured as a photoelectric sensor, and each of the photoelectric sensors can emit visible light, such as infrared light, green light, etc., with a color that can be easily distinguished. Visible light allows the staff to better determine whether the photoelectric sensor is in an on state, and facilitates the staff to adjust the position of the photoelectric sensor, so that the photoelectric sensor can better detect the goods, and improve the accuracy of the adjustment of the photoelectric sensor.
[0034] Further preferably, the light emitted by at least two of the photoelectric sensors is arranged to intersect, so that the detection area of each photoelectric sensor can better cover the area where the goods are located, avoiding the formation of a detection blind spot, and ensuring the accuracy of the detection. Among them, the detection fields of the two photoelectric sensors can be arranged to be relatively inclined, and each of the photoelectric sensors can better illuminate the goods, so that when any of the photoelectric sensors detects the goods, it indicates that the goods are stored in the cargo cavity. Multiple photoelectric sensors can realize multiple detections, ensuring higher detection accuracy.
[0035] Preferably, two position sensors 41 are provided, and the detection structure 4 also includes two detection seats 42. The two position sensors 41 are arranged on the two detection seats 42 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each detection seat 42 is movably arranged at the bottom of the cargo cavity 1. Each position sensor 41 can be supported by the detection seat 42, and each position sensor 41 can be driven to move by the movement of each detection seat 42, so as to facilitate the adjustment of each position sensor 41, so that each position sensor 41 can be better in the optimal detection position.
[0036] Further, each of the detection seats 42 has a movable stroke along the transverse direction of the cargo cavity 1; and / or, each of the detection seats 42 has a movable stroke along the longitudinal direction of the cargo cavity 1. Wherein, the transverse and longitudinal directions here refer to two directions perpendicular to each other along the horizontal direction. Preferably, the transverse direction here refers to the left-right direction along the cargo cavity 1, and the longitudinal direction refers to the front-back direction along the cargo cavity 1. When the detection seat 42 can move along the front-back direction, it drives each of the position sensors 41 to move along the front-back direction of the cargo cavity 1, thereby ensuring that the detection area of the position sensor 41 can better cover the central area of the cargo. When the detection seat 42 moves along the left-right direction, it can drive each of the position sensors 41 to move along the left-right direction of the cargo cavity 1. When the width of the cargo in the left-right direction is different, each of the detection seats 42 can be adjusted to move along the left-right direction, so that each of the position sensors 41 can be adjusted to move along the left-right direction, so that each of the position sensors 41 can better adapt to the detection requirements of cargo of different sizes, and ensure the reliability of the detection of the three-dimensional container 100.
[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown in , a plurality of limiting holes are provided on each cargo cavity 1, a part of the plurality of limiting holes are arranged at intervals along the front-rear direction of the cargo cavity 1, and another part of the plurality of limiting holes are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the cargo cavity 1. A clamping protrusion is provided on each detection seat 42, and the clamping protrusion is clamped in different limiting holes, so that each detection seat 42 can be fixed at a different position to adjust the position of each detection seat 42. The adjustment is flexible and convenient, so that each position sensor 41 can be better placed at the best detection position.
[0038] In another embodiment, the three-dimensional container 100 may further include an adjustment drive structure, which may be connected to each of the detection seats 42. The adjustment drive structure can be used to drive each of the detection seats 42 to move along the front-to-back direction and / or left-to-right direction of the cargo chamber 1, thereby making the adjustment more labor-saving and having a higher adjustment accuracy.
[0039] Furthermore, a sliding rail and a sliding block that slidably cooperate are respectively provided on the cargo frame and the detection seat 42, so that the detection seat 42 is more stable and less likely to shake when moving.
[0040] The bearing structure 2 is used to support the cargo. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bearing structure 2 includes a bearing platform 21 and a bearing driving structure 22 connected to the bearing platform 21, the bearing platform 21 has an active stroke along the up and down direction of the cargo cavity 1, and the bearing driving structure 22 is used to drive the bearing platform 21 to move along the up and down direction of the cargo cavity 1. The bearing driving structure 22 drives the bearing platform 21 to move, so that the height of the bearing platform 21 can be adjusted, and the distance between the cargo and the bottom cavity wall can be adjusted. Large-sized cargo can have more storage space, and small-sized cargo can be placed more flexibly.
[0041] Preferably, the bearing structure 2 is provided with two sets, and the two sets of the bearing structures 2 are arranged in parallel at the bottom of the cargo cavity 1, and each of the bearing platforms 21 is extended along the direction of the cavity opening toward the limiting structure 3, that is, each of the bearing platforms 21 is extended along the front and rear directions of the cargo cavity 1, so that the goods can be better placed on the two bearing platforms 21, placed more stably, and leave enough space for the fork frame of the stacker to be accommodated therein, so as to facilitate the picking and placing of goods.
[0042] Furthermore, the two position sensors 41 are respectively located on the outside of the two sets of the supporting structures 2, that is, the two position sensors 41 are respectively located on the back-to-back sides of the two supporting platforms 21, and the light emitted by the two position sensors 41 can be cross-arranged, so that the detection areas of the two position sensors 41 can better cover the goods on the supporting structure 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection.
[0043] Among them, the limiting structure 3 includes a limiting rod 31, and the limiting rod 31 is arranged on the rear side of the cargo cavity 1. When the cargo is just against the limiting rod 31, it means that the cargo is placed in place, so as to ensure the placement position of the cargo, thereby ensuring that the position sensor 41 can be better detected.
[0044] Moreover, a trigger sensor may be provided on the limit rod 31. When the goods are placed in place, the goods may abut against the trigger sensor, and the trigger sensor may send out a detection signal, such as an acoustic or optical signal. When the goods abut against the trigger sensor, the trigger sensor emits a buzzer or flashes to remind the operator that the goods are placed in place, thereby stopping pushing inward.
[0045] The utility model also provides a stacking rack, which includes a plurality of the above-mentioned three-dimensional containers 100, and the plurality of three-dimensional containers 100 are stacked to reasonably utilize space and facilitate orderly management of each three-dimensional container 100. For example, each three-dimensional container 100 can be numbered, and the stacking rack can also include a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the position sensor 41 and the trigger sensor of each three-dimensional container 100. The storage status of each three-dimensional container 100 (goods stored or not stored) can be displayed through each position sensor 41, so that when new goods need to be stored, the stacker can be notified or controlled to move to move to the vacant three-dimensional container 100 to store the goods. This makes the picking and placing of goods more intelligent, the operation is more time-saving and labor-saving, and the efficiency of picking and placing goods is improved.
[0046] Obviously, the above described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, ordinary technicians in this field can make other different forms of changes or modifications without creative work, which should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
