Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics cargo transportation, in particular to a stacker with a protective structure. Background Art

[0002] A stacker is a material handling device used in automated warehouses, mainly for the storage of goods. It plays an important role in logistics warehouse management systems, especially in high-bay warehouses and automated warehouses. The design of the stacker allows it to operate in narrow aisles, improving space utilization and work efficiency.

[0003] The use of a stacker usually includes the following steps:

[0004] 1. Task reception: The stacker receives tasks through the warehouse management system. The task may be to move goods from the incoming area to the designated storage location.

[0005] 2. Navigate to the specified location: The stacker navigates to the specified shelf or location according to the instructions.

[0006] 3. Cargo handling: After arriving at the designated location, use the conveying mechanism to deliver the goods to the cargo support mechanism of the stacker.

[0007] 4. Transporting goods: After loading the goods, the stacker transports them to the designated destination.

[0008] 5. Mission completed: After the goods are placed at the destination, the stacker completes the mission and waits for the next instruction.

[0009] In the process of implementing the third and fourth steps, the transport mechanism is required to transfer the goods to the goods supporting mechanism of the stacker. Then the stacker transports it to the designated destination, and finally uses its own transport mechanism to place the goods on the goods supporting mechanism to the destination.

[0010] In the above process, in order to ensure that the goods can stably follow the goods support mechanism to move without position deviation during the transfer process, a limit mechanism is provided on the goods support mechanism to fix the goods. However, the current limit mechanism can only adapt well to relatively "square" goods, and cannot limit the position of some goods with irregular shapes. This will inevitably affect the subsequent process of placing the goods in the designated position. Utility Model Content

[0011] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a stacker with a protective structure, which can adapt to goods with square or not-so-square shapes and can better limit the positions of these goods.

[0012] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0013] A stacker with a protective structure, comprising:

[0014] A cargo support plate, which is used to carry the cargo to be transported;

[0015] A plurality of limit plates are provided, wherein the plurality of limit plates are divided into two parts, the limit plates of the two parts are respectively hinged to the opposite sides of the cargo support plate, the limit plates of each part are spaced apart, and the limit plates are used to carry the cargo to be transported together with the cargo support plate;

[0016] A plurality of support assemblies are provided, wherein the support assemblies are arranged below the limit plates, so that the limit plates on the opposite sides of the cargo support plate are arranged in a V-shaped outward expansion shape;

[0017] The support assembly includes: a rigid elastic member, and the rigid elastic member is used to enable the limiting plate to apply reverse force after being subjected to pressure from the goods.

[0018] Wherein, the support assembly also includes: an inclined limiting sleeve and a push rod arranged on the inner side of the limiting sleeve, the rigid elastic member is arranged between the limiting sleeve and the push rod, and the top end of the push rod is used to abut against the bottom surface of the limiting plate.

[0019] Wherein, the top end of the push rod protrudes outward relative to the top end of the limiting sleeve, and an extension portion is formed at the top end of the push rod in a radial direction, and the outer diameter of the extension portion is greater than the inner diameter of the limiting sleeve.

[0020] Wherein, the rigid elastic member is a spring, and the spring is arranged between the inner bottom end of the limiting sleeve and the bottom end of the push rod.

[0021] Among them, the opposite sides of the cargo support plate are provided with a bottom plate, the top surface of the bottom plate is provided with a sleeve fixing plate, the top surface of the sleeve fixing plate is an inclined surface, and the limiting sleeve is arranged on the inclined surface of the sleeve fixing plate, so that the top end of the push rod in the limiting sleeve can be against the bottom surface of the limiting plate.

[0023] Wherein, a supporting portion is provided on the bottom surface of the limiting plate, and when the bottom surface of the supporting portion abuts against the top surface of the bottom plate, the limiting plate is horizontally arranged relative to the cargo supporting plate.

[0024] Beneficial technical effects of the utility model:

[0025] 1. The utility model is provided with a plurality of limit plates, which are respectively hinged to the opposite sides of the cargo support plate and are distributed at intervals, so as to effectively support and limit cargo of different shapes and sizes. This design can reduce the sliding or tilting of cargo during transportation, thereby improving the stability and safety of cargo. Due to the setting and distribution of the limit plates, this structure can better adapt to irregular or special-shaped cargo, and can also adapt to cargo with regular shapes. Each limit plate can independently adjust its position in conjunction with the corresponding support assembly to fit and support different parts of the cargo, which is particularly important for handling cargo of non-standard shapes. The provision of rigid elastic parts enables the limit plates to apply reverse force after being subjected to pressure from the cargo. This automatic adjustment mechanism can provide appropriate support strength according to the weight and shape of the cargo to ensure the stability of the cargo during transportation.

[0026] 2. The design of the support assembly provided by the utility model enables the cargo support plate and the limit plate on its side to form a V-shaped outward expansion structure. This V-shaped structure can effectively "clamp" the cargo, reduce the deviation of the cargo during movement, and further improve the safety and efficiency of transportation.

[0033] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings, but the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the stacker with a protective structure provided in this embodiment includes:

[0035] The cargo support plate 1 is used to carry the cargo to be transported. The top surface of the cargo support plate 1 is arranged horizontally. As the cargo support structure of the stacker, the cargo support plate 1 can be driven by the lateral moving component 7 and the vertical moving component 8 to carry the cargo on the top surface to the destination.

[0036] The limiting plates 2 are provided in multiple numbers and are divided into two parts, one part is hinged to the left side of the cargo support plate 1, and the other part is hinged to the right side of the cargo support plate 1. The limiting plates 2 of each part are distributed at intervals, that is, there is a gap between two adjacent limiting plates 2 in each part of the limiting plates 2, ensuring that each limiting plate 2 is independent. The limiting plates 2 and the cargo support plate 1 carry the cargo to be transported together.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the left and right sides of the cargo support plate 1 are hinged with three limit plates 2. Figure 1 The number shown is only an example, and in actual application, the number of the limiting plates 2 can be increased or decreased depending on the situation.

[0038] A support assembly is provided below each limiting plate 2, and the support assembly includes an inclined rigid elastic member 6. The rigid elastic member 6 can ensure that the two limiting plates 2 on opposite sides of the cargo support plate 1 are arranged in a V-shaped outward expansion shape to form a V-shaped limiting space. When the cargo to be transported is placed in the fiber space, the cargo can be prevented from being deviated left and right during the rapid transfer process.

[0039] Because the limiting plates 2 are independent entities, when facing goods with irregular (non-square) contours, each part of the goods can be supported and limited to the left and right as much as possible, and the problem that the limiting plates 2 only support and limit the convex part of the goods will not occur.

[0040] In addition, because the rigid elastic member 6 can apply force in the opposite direction when the limiting plate 2 is subjected to pressure from the cargo, it plays a left-right "clamping" role, and can effectively support and limit the cargo on the cargo support plate 1 and the limiting plate 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support assembly further includes: an inclined limiting sleeve 4 and a push rod 5 arranged inside the limiting sleeve 4 , and a rigid elastic member 6 is arranged between the bottom end of the push rod 5 and the inner bottom end of the limiting sleeve 4 .

[0042] Among them, the rigid elastic part 6 is a spring, the outer diameter of the spring is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the limiting sleeve 4, ensuring that the spring will not produce a large degree of lateral bending during the compression process. The top end of the push rod 5 protrudes outward relative to the top end of the limiting sleeve 4, and is used to support the limiting plate 2 above it.

[0043] The support assembly enables the limiting plate 2 to be tilted relative to the cargo support plate 1 , so that the limiting plates 2 on both sides are in a V-shaped outward expansion shape, so that the cargo on the cargo support plate 1 can be better "clamped".

[0044] When the cargo is placed on the cargo support plate 1 , part of the cargo will be placed on the two corresponding limit plates 2 on the left and right sides of the cargo support plate 1 .

[0045] At this time, the goods on the limit plate 2 will exert force on the top rod 5 below the limit plate 2, and then the top rod 5 will transfer the force to the spring at its bottom, and then the spring is in a compressed state, exerting force on the top rod 5 in the opposite direction, and finally, the spring compression force is transmitted to the limit plate 2 through the top rod 5, so as to achieve the purpose of "clamping" the goods on the limit plate 2. In this way, the goods on the limit plate 2 can greatly reduce the phenomenon of self-deflection when they are transferred with the goods support plate 1.

[0046] At the same time, because each limiting plate 2 is an independent individual, for goods with irregular outer contours, almost every part is supported by a corresponding limiting plate 2 and the supporting components below it. In this way, the above goods can be clamped effectively without moving or falling during the rapid transfer process.

[0047] In this embodiment, an extension portion 501 is formed radially at the top end of the push rod 5, and the outer diameter of the extension portion 501 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting sleeve 4, ensuring that the push rod 5 will not move downward indefinitely after being subjected to pressure from above, thereby preventing the push rod 5 from tilting significantly with the limiting sleeve 4 after being subjected to strong pressure, thereby avoiding the possibility of the push rod 5 breaking.

[0048] In this embodiment, a bottom plate 3 is provided on the left and right sides of the cargo support plate 1, and a sleeve fixing plate 4 is provided on the top surface of the bottom plate 3. The top surface of the sleeve fixing plate 4 is an inclined surface, which faces the direction of the limiting plate 2 on the corresponding side. The limiting sleeve 4 is fixed on the inclined surface of the sleeve fixing plate 9 to ensure that the inclined support assembly can effectively support the limiting plate 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sleeve fixing plate 9 and the base plate 3 are detachably connected, the sleeve fixing plate 9 is a rectangular structure, the support components on each side correspond to a sleeve fixing plate 9, and the support components on the same side are fixed to the inclined surface of a sleeve fixing plate 9.

[0050] A first threaded hole is opened upward on the bottom surface of the sleeve fixing plate 9, and a second threaded hole is penetrated upward on the bottom surface of the base plate 3. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole that pass through the top and bottom can be fixed together by a fixing screw to achieve a fixed connection between the sleeve fixing plate 9 and the base plate 3.

[0051] When the limiting plate 2 needs to be laid flat to increase the required bearing area for large-sized goods, the sleeve fixing plate 9 can be removed to dismantle the supporting assembly.

[0052] In this embodiment, after removing the sleeve fixing plate 9 and the supporting assembly above it, the limiting plate 2 can be lowered until the bottom end of the supporting portion 201 on the bottom surface of the limiting plate 2 abuts against the top surface of the bottom plate 3. At this time, the limiting plate 2 is placed horizontally relative to the cargo supporting plate 1.

[0053] In summary, in this embodiment, by using an adjustable limit plate 2 and a support assembly (including an inclined rigid elastic member 6, a limit sleeve 4 and a push rod 5), the stacker can adapt to goods of different shapes and sizes. This design makes the goods more stable during the transfer process and reduces the risk of goods shifting and tipping due to rapid movement.

[0054] The independence and adjustability of the limit plate 2 enable the stacker to effectively support and limit various goods with irregular contours. This flexibility is particularly important for handling goods of various shapes and improves the scope of application of the stacker.

[0055] The rigid elastic member 6 (eg, a spring) provides an opposing force when under pressure, forming an effective "clamping" effect, which increases the stability and safety of the goods during transportation.

[0056] When it is necessary to increase the carrying area of ​​large goods, the limit plate 2 can be adjusted by removing the sleeve fixing plate 9 and the support assembly. This adjustability allows the stacker to adapt to different operating requirements more flexibly.

[0057] The design of the extension portion 501 of the push rod 5 takes into account the avoidance of excessive tilting or breaking with the limiting sleeve 4 when subjected to strong pressure, thereby enhancing the durability and reliability of the support assembly.

[0058] The above is only a further embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and concept of the present invention, which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
