[0026] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0027] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cache mechanism of an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a carrier assembly 1 and a plurality of accommodating portions 2, wherein the plurality of accommodating portions 2 are arranged on the carrier assembly 1 for accommodating file boxes, and the plurality of accommodating portions 2 are arranged in at least two rows. The plurality of accommodating portions 2 have at least three sizes for accommodating at least three file boxes of different specifications.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cache mechanism is applied to an unmanned archive warehouse, and is used to cooperate with the unmanned archive warehouse to automatically store and retrieve archive boxes through human-machine interaction, and provide a transfer cache station for the archive boxes. There are three common thickness specifications of archive boxes, namely 1cm, 3cm and 5cm. In the embodiments shown in the present disclosure, the specifications of the archive boxes are three, namely 1cm, 3cm and 5cm, respectively. Correspondingly, there are also three sizes of the accommodating portion 2, and the sizes of the three accommodating portions 2 are respectively adapted to the archive boxes of 1cm, 3cm and 5cm, so that the archive boxes can be stably accommodated therein. As for the height of the accommodating portion 2, it can be designed to accommodate the largest archive box in each row. The number of accommodating portions 2 is usually adaptively designed according to actual needs, and the setting rules can include but are not limited to setting the number of accommodating portions 2 of each size according to the access frequency of archive boxes of various specifications. The embodiments shown in the present disclosure all take the case where the number of receiving parts 2 corresponding to the 1cm file box 7 is two, the number of receiving parts 2 corresponding to the 3cm file box 8 is two, and the number of receiving parts 2 corresponding to the 5cm file box 9 is three as an example. The seven receiving parts 2 are arranged in two rows, the upper row is provided with three receiving parts 2 capable of accommodating the 5cm file box 9, and the lower row is provided with two receiving parts 2 capable of accommodating the 1cm file box 7 and two receiving parts 2 capable of accommodating the 3cm file box 8. It can be understood that the number of receiving parts 2 is not limited to seven, and can be more than seven, or a smaller number of receiving parts 2 can be provided to save space, and the number of rows formed by the receiving parts 2 can also be appropriately increased or decreased according to the number of receiving parts 2 and the actual space size; the size of the receiving part 2 is also not limited to the above three types, and can be adaptively designed according to the specifications of the file boxes actually required for storage and access.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting a cache mechanism, after grabbing the file box, the manipulator can directly place the file box in the storage part 2 of the cache mechanism, provide a transfer cache space for the file box, grab the target file box in turn, until all the target file boxes are grabbed to the cache mechanism, and can drive all the grabbed file boxes to move at the same time through the overall movement of the cache mechanism. After the cache mechanism is close to the access port, the manipulator grabs the file boxes from the cache mechanism to the access port in turn. Therefore, since the cache mechanism provides a transfer cache space for the file box, the access efficiency of the file box is greatly improved, and the access time is saved; and since the cache mechanism includes at least three sizes of storage parts 2, it can cache at least three specifications of file boxes, providing a stable fixed-point cache space for the file box, and improving the adaptability of the cache mechanism; multiple storage parts 2 are arranged in at least two rows, which can effectively utilize the space in the height direction, save space, and thus reduce the size of the entire site.

[0031] In one embodiment, the accommodating portion 2 includes two partitions 21 arranged opposite to each other, the two partitions 21 satisfy a parallel condition, and the distance between the two partitions 21 is adapted to the thickness of the file box.

[0032] In this embodiment, the partition 21 is used to limit the file box with a caliper. The partition 21 is made of sheet metal, and the distance between the two partitions 21 is adapted to the thickness of the file box to be accommodated. When designing the partition 21, it is necessary to ensure that when a file box is accommodated between the two partitions 21, the robot can normally grab the file box. Therefore, the partition 21 needs to expose part of the file box to fit the subsequent grabbing work of the robot.

[0033] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the partition 21 has a guide member 22 , and the guide members 22 on the two partitions 21 of each accommodating portion 2 form a guide opening, and the size of the guide opening is greater than the distance between the two partitions 21 .

[0034] In one embodiment, the accommodating portion 2 further includes a seat body 23 , the partition plate 21 is fixedly connected to the seat body 23 , the seat body 23 is fixed on the bearing assembly 1 , and two adjacent seat bodies 23 jointly bear the file box.

[0035] In this embodiment, the guide member 22 can be made of sheet metal integrally formed with the partition 21. By providing the guide member 22, it is convenient for the manipulator to place the file box into the receiving portion 2, which plays a guiding role. A seat body 23 is fixedly connected below each partition 21, and the seat body 23 is arranged on the bearing assembly 1. The bottom of the file box is jointly supported by two adjacent bases; the seat body 23 has an inclined guide portion, which plays a guiding role, so that the manipulator can place the file box into the receiving portion 2 more smoothly.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the two partitions 21 between two adjacent accommodating portions 2 are an integrally formed structure.

[0037] In this embodiment, the size of the opening formed by the guide member 22 on the two integrally formed partitions 21 is smaller than the distance between the two partitions 21. By providing the integrally formed partition 21, during installation, there is no need to separately fix the single partition 21 to the supporting assembly 1. The two partitions 21 can be fixed at one time, thereby saving at least half of the installation time, improving assembly efficiency, and stabilizing the structure. Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent accommodating portions 2 can be fixed. During design, it is only necessary to measure the distance between adjacent integrally formed partitions 21 and fix them, thereby determining the size of the accommodating portion 2.

[0038] In one embodiment, the bearing assembly 1 includes a back plate 11 and at least two bottom plates 12 for bearing the plurality of receiving portions 2, the bottom plates 12 are fixedly connected to the back plate 11, and the back plate 11 meets the vertical condition. The number of the bottom plates 12 is the same as the number of rows of the plurality of receiving portions 2.

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the bearing assembly 1 further includes a protective side plate 13 , and the protective side plate 13 , the back plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 are fixedly connected.

[0040] In this embodiment, the protective side panels 13 meet the vertical condition with the back panel 11 and the multiple bottom panels 12. The protective side panels 13 protect the file box. The multiple bottom panels 12 meet the parallel condition and multiple bases are arranged on the bottom panels 12.

[0041] In one embodiment, the bearing assembly 1 further includes at least one mounting side plate 14 , and the mounting side plate 14 is disposed opposite to the protective side plate 13 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the installation side plate 14 and the protective side plate 13 meet the parallel condition and are fixedly connected to the back plate 11. When there are multiple installation side plates 14, the multiple installation side plates 14 are respectively and one by one fixedly connected to the sides of the multiple bottom plates 12 for connection with the cache rack.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cache mechanism further includes a plurality of information storage units 3 , which are disposed on a side of the bottom plate 12 away from the back plate 11 and parallel to the back plate 11 , and the plurality of information storage units 3 correspond to the plurality of accommodating units 2 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the information storage unit 3 can be, but is not limited to, a QR code, a barcode or a label paper, etc., for storing data information. The information storage unit 3 is arranged corresponding to each receiving unit 2. The robot arm can scan and identify the information storage unit 3 when working, so as to perform accurate picking and placement.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the present disclosure further provides a cache rack, including a transfer mechanism, and also including a cache mechanism as in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, wherein the cache mechanism is connected to the transfer mechanism.
