Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent logistics, and in particular to a cargo storage and retrieval system. Background Art
[0002] The existing cargo storage and retrieval system includes a shelf, a pickup device and a transfer vehicle. The shelf is provided with multiple rows of storage positions for placing cargo. The pickup device is movably arranged relative to the shelf. The pickup device can move to the designated storage position of the shelf to pick up the cargo thereon, and deliver the cargo to the storage position or the transfer vehicle, or deliver the cargo to the designated storage position of the shelf and place the cargo thereon. The transfer vehicle is used to travel on the site of the cargo storage and retrieval system to transport cargo, and is used to deliver cargo to the storage position or the pickup device. A temporary storage mechanism is provided below the storage position of the lowest layer, and the temporary storage mechanism can cache the cargo.
[0003] The existing cargo picking device includes a transverse track, a vertical track and a fork mechanism. The fork mechanism can move along the vertical track, and the vertical track can move along the transverse track, so that the fork mechanism can be docked with the corresponding storage position or temporary storage mechanism to realize the transportation of the cargo.
[0004] In the prior art, the height of the temporary storage mechanism from the ground is higher than the height of the empty transfer vehicle, but the height of the empty transfer vehicle is higher than the distance between the bottom end of the vertical rail and the ground. When the fork mechanism is docked with the temporary storage mechanism, the distance between the lower end of the fork mechanism and the ground is smaller than the height of the empty transfer vehicle. In other words, the empty transfer vehicle cannot pass through the bottom end of the vertical rail, and the empty transfer vehicle cannot pass through the lower end of the fork mechanism docked with the temporary storage mechanism.
[0005] Therefore, there are fewer paths available for the transfer vehicle to travel, and the greater the interference to the transfer vehicle's travel path caused by temporary storage mechanisms, pickup devices, and vertical rails, the more difficult and inefficient the transfer vehicle's scheduling will be.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to design a new cargo storage and retrieval system to improve the problem of difficulty and low efficiency in scheduling transfer vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0093] Embodiment 1
[0094] like Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cargo storage and retrieval system, including a shelf 200, a pickup device 100 and a transfer vehicle 300. Among them, the cargo storage and retrieval system can be a storage logistics system, an unmanned supermarket and other scenes, and all systems or scenes that require cargo storage and retrieval are within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present disclosure. The shelf 200 is provided with multiple rows of storage positions 210 for placing goods 600. The pickup device 100 is movably arranged relative to the shelf 200, and the pickup device 100 can move to the designated storage position 210 of the shelf 200 to take the goods 600 thereon, and send the goods 600 to the storage position 210 or the transfer vehicle 300, or send the goods 600 to the designated storage position 210 of the shelf 200 and place the goods 600 thereon. The transfer vehicle 300 is used to travel on the site of the cargo storage and retrieval system to transport the goods 600, and can be navigated by a QR code, a magnetic stripe, an RFID or a SLAM, and is used to send the goods 600 to the storage position 210 or the pickup device 100. The cargo 600 in the embodiment of the present disclosure refers to an integral unit that can be transported or carried, and may be a box filled with cargo 600, an empty box, original packaged cargo 600 stored separately, and the like.
[0095] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the shelf 200 is composed of a vertical beam 230 and a horizontal beam 240, and can be arranged in a single layer or multiple layers, and each layer of the shelf 200 can be provided with one or more storage locations 210 for storing goods 600, for storing the goods 600. The multiple storage locations 210 of each layer can be separated from each other or can be interconnected.
[0096] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the shelf 200 further includes a temporary storage mechanism 220 , which can be disposed below the lowest storage position 210 of the shelf 200 . The temporary storage mechanism 220 is used to temporarily store the goods 600 from the transfer vehicle 300 and the pickup device 100 .
[0097] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the cargo storage and retrieval system also includes a workstation 500, which is a workstation for cargo sorting. An operator or a robotic arm can wait at this workstation for the transfer vehicle 300 to sort the cargo 600 thereon. The transfer vehicle 300 is used to transport the cargo 600 to the workstation 500 or to transport the cargo 600 out of the workstation 500.
[0098] like Figure 4As shown, the cargo picking device 100 includes a track running mechanism 10, a transverse track 20, a vertical rail 30 and a fork mechanism 71, wherein the vertical rail 30 extends in the up-down direction, and the fork mechanism 71 is arranged on the vertical rail 30 and can move in the up-down direction relative to the vertical rail 30, so as to achieve the docking of the fork mechanism 71 with storage positions 210 of different heights. Specifically, two vertical rails 30 are provided, and the two vertical rails 30 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (i.e., the horizontal direction), and the two vertical rails 30 jointly support the fork mechanism 71, so as to achieve a good supporting effect of the vertical rail 30 on the fork mechanism 71. In addition, since a cargo channel is formed between the two vertical rails 30, the fork mechanism 71 can be used to pick up and place the cargo 600 to the storage position 210.
[0099] like Figure 4 As shown, the transverse track 20 extends in the left-right direction, the vertical track 30 is located in front of the transverse track 20, the track travel mechanism 10 is arranged on the vertical track 30, and the track travel mechanism 10 can move along the transverse track 20, so as to adjust the position of the vertical track 30 along the transverse track 20, so as to achieve the docking of the fork mechanism 71 with the storage position 210 at different positions along the left-right direction. Figure 3 The horizontal beam 240 is disposed in the middle, and the extension direction of the transverse track 20 is the same as that of the horizontal beam 240.
[0100] In an optional embodiment, it is also possible to Figure 3 The horizontal beam 240 is used as the transverse track 20, so that the overall structure of the picking device 100 is simple and easy to assemble.
[0101] In summary, by adjusting the position of the fork mechanism 71 relative to the vertical rail 30 along the up-down direction and adjusting the position of the vertical rail 30 relative to the transverse rail 20 along the left-right direction, the fork mechanism 71 can be accurately docked with any storage position 210 .
[0102] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, at least two transverse rails 20 are provided, and at least two transverse rails 20 are arranged at intervals in the up and down directions. Each transverse rail 20 corresponds one to one with a track running mechanism 10. By providing at least two transverse rails 20, the transverse rails 20 can provide stable support for the vertical rails 30.
[0103] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the transverse track 20 includes a transverse plate 212, a front vertical plate 211 and a rear vertical plate 213. The transverse plate 212 is arranged in a horizontal plane and extends in the left-right direction. The front vertical plate 211 is arranged in a longitudinal plane and extends in the left-right direction. The rear vertical plate 213 is parallel to the front vertical plate 211 and is arranged at intervals in the front-to-back direction. The rear vertical plate 213 and the front vertical plate 211 are both fixedly connected to the transverse plate 212, and the rear vertical plate 213 is connected to the horizontal beam 240.
[0104] like Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the ground 700 of the cargo storage and retrieval system in the vertical direction is a first distance L1, and the distance between the lower end of the vertical rail 30 and the ground 700 in the vertical direction is a second distance L 2, When the fork mechanism 71 is docked with the temporary storage mechanism 220, the distance between the lower end of the fork mechanism 71 and the ground 700 in the up-down direction is the third distance L3, and when the transfer vehicle 300 is in an unloaded state, the height of the transfer vehicle 300 is the first height H1. In the prior art, the first height H1 is less than the first distance L1, and the first height H1 is greater than or equal to the second distance L2, and the first height H1 is greater than or equal to the third distance L3. In other words, the transfer vehicle 300 in an unloaded state cannot pass through the lower end of the vertical rail 30, and the transfer vehicle 300 in an unloaded state cannot pass through the lower end of the fork mechanism 71 in the docking state with the temporary storage mechanism 220. Therefore, the transfer vehicle 300 has fewer paths that can be passed, and the greater the interference of the temporary storage mechanism 220, the cargo picking device 100 and the vertical rail 30 on the travel path of the transfer vehicle 300, the more difficult it is to dispatch the transfer vehicle 300, and the efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is low.
[0105] To solve the above problem, in an optional embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, H1<L1 and H1<L2, that is, the transfer vehicle 300 in an unloaded state can smoothly pass through the lower end of the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the lower end of the vertical rail 30. Compared with the transfer vehicle 300 in the prior art, the transfer vehicle 300 in an unloaded state of this optional embodiment has more passable paths, the travel path of the transfer vehicle 300 is less affected by the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the vertical rail 30, the scheduling of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively easy, and the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively improved.
[0106] To solve the above problem, in an optional embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, H1<L1 and H1<L3, that is, the transfer vehicle 300 in an empty state can smoothly pass through the lower end of the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the lower end of the fork mechanism 71 in the docking state with the temporary storage mechanism 220. Compared with the transfer vehicle 300 in the prior art, the transfer vehicle 300 in the empty state of this optional embodiment has more passable paths, the travel path of the transfer vehicle 300 is less affected by the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the fork mechanism 71, the scheduling of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively easy, and the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively improved.

Compared with the transfer vehicle 300 in the prior art, the transfer vehicle 300 in an unloaded state of this optional embodiment has further increased the passable paths, the travel path of the transfer vehicle 300 is less affected by the temporary storage mechanism 220, the vertical rail 30 and the fork mechanism 71, the scheduling of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively easy, and the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively improved.
[0108] In an optional embodiment, the transfer vehicle 300 has a high load-bearing state and Figure 5 In the low-load state shown in FIG. 1 , when the transfer vehicle 300 is in the high-load state, the transfer vehicle 300 lifts the cargo 600 thereon, and the bottom surface of the cargo 600 is higher than the temporary storage mechanism 220; Figure 5 In the low-load state shown, the transfer vehicle 300 can drive the goods 600 to shuttle on the ground 700, and the upper end surface of the goods 600 is lower than the temporary storage mechanism 220.
[0109] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the transfer vehicle 300 is in a low-load state, the carried goods 600 are located at the upper end of the transfer vehicle 300, and the distance between the upper end surface of the goods 600 and the ground 700 in the vertical direction is a fourth distance L4, L4<L1. In other words, the transfer vehicle 300 in a low-load state and the goods 600 thereon can smoothly pass through the lower end of the temporary storage mechanism 220. Compared with the transfer vehicle 300 in the prior art, the transfer vehicle 300 in a low-load state and the goods 600 thereon of the optional embodiment have more paths that can be passed, and the travel path of the transfer vehicle 300 in a low-load state and the goods 600 thereon is less disturbed by the temporary storage mechanism 220, the scheduling of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively easy, and the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively improved.
[0110] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, L4<L2, that is, the transfer vehicle 300 in a low-load state and the cargo 600 thereon can smoothly pass through the lower end of the vertical rail 30. Compared with the transfer vehicle 300 in the prior art, the transfer vehicle 300 in a low-load state and the cargo 600 thereon of this optional embodiment have further increased accessible paths, the travel paths of the transfer vehicle 300 in a low-load state and the cargo 600 thereon are less affected by the vertical rail 30, the scheduling of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively easy, and the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively improved.

[0112] It should be noted that, for the three conditions of L4<L1, L4<L2 and L4<L3, the transfer vehicle 300 in the low-load state and the goods 600 thereon may only meet one, two or three of the above three conditions. It should be noted that the more the number of the above conditions satisfied by the transfer vehicle 300 in the low-load state and the goods 600 thereon, the more paths the transfer vehicle 300 in the low-load state and the goods 600 thereon can pass, the less interference the travel path of the transfer vehicle 300 is subject to other structures, the easier it is to dispatch the transfer vehicle 300, and the higher the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300.
[0113] In an optional embodiment, when the transfer vehicle 300 is in a low-load state, L4≥L1, L4≥L2, and L4≥L3 can also be satisfied at the same time. In this case, although the transfer vehicle 300 has more paths when in an empty state, compared with the transfer vehicle 300 and the cargo 600 thereon in a low-load state that satisfy one, two or three of the aforementioned conditions, the transfer vehicle 300 and the cargo 600 thereon in a low-load state of this optional embodiment have relatively fewer paths, the travel paths of the transfer vehicle 300 and the cargo 600 thereon in a low-load state are relatively greatly interfered by other structures, the scheduling of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively difficult, and the transportation efficiency of the transfer vehicle 300 is relatively low.
[0114] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the length L5 of the vertical rail 30 in the vertical direction is adjustable. By adjusting L5, L2 can be adjusted, and L3 can also be adjusted. By simply adjusting the existing cargo storage and retrieval system, the number of paths of the transfer vehicle 300 under different conditions can be increased and changed, which is convenient for the operator to quickly improve the existing old cargo storage and retrieval system. In addition, there is no need to re-establish the cargo storage and retrieval system, which can greatly save the overall cost, making a very great contribution to the field and a pioneering improvement.
[0115] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the vertical rail 30 of this optional embodiment may include multiple sections of sub-vertical rails, and two adjacent sections of sub-vertical rails are detachably connected, and the length of the vertical rail 30 is adjusted by adjusting the number of sub-vertical rails.

In addition, there is no need to re-establish the cargo storage and retrieval system, which can greatly save the overall cost, making a very great contribution to the field and a pioneering improvement.
[0118] For example, the relative positions of the transverse rail 20 and the shelf 200 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, that is, the transverse rail 20 can be fixedly connected to the horizontal beams 240 at different heights. The transverse rail 20 and the horizontal beam 240 can be detachably connected by screws, pins, buckle assemblies, magnetic assemblies, etc. All structures that can realize the detachable connection between the transverse rail 20 and the horizontal beam 240 are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0119] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the distance L6 between the lower end of the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the lower end of the bottom storage position 2101 along the up-down direction is adjustable. By adjusting L6, the adjustment of L1 and L3 can be achieved. By simply adjusting the existing cargo access system, the increase and change of the path of the transfer vehicle 300 under different states can be achieved, which is convenient for the operator to quickly improve the existing old cargo access system. In addition, there is no need to re-establish the cargo access system, which can greatly save the overall cost, which is a very great contribution to the field and a creative improvement. Exemplarily, the relative position of the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the vertical beam 230 along the up-down direction is adjustable, wherein the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the vertical beam 230 can be connected by screws, pins, snap-fit assemblies, etc. All structures that can realize the detachable connection between the temporary storage mechanism 220 and the vertical beam 230 are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0120] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fork mechanism 71 includes a fork body 711 and a fork 712 arranged thereon. The upper end of the fork 712 and the lower end of the fork body 711 are adjustable along the vertical dimension L7, which can achieve the adjustment of L3. By simply adjusting the existing cargo storage and retrieval system, the path of the transfer vehicle 300 can be increased and changed under different conditions, which is convenient for the operator to quickly improve the existing old cargo storage and retrieval system. In addition, there is no need to re-establish the cargo storage and retrieval system, which can greatly save the overall cost, making a very great contribution to the field and a pioneering improvement.

By simply adjusting the existing cargo storage and retrieval system, the path of the transfer vehicle 300 can be increased and changed under different conditions, which is convenient for the operator to quickly improve the existing old cargo storage and retrieval system. In addition, there is no need to re-establish the cargo storage and retrieval system, which can greatly save the overall cost, making a very great contribution to the field and a pioneering improvement.
[0122] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the shelf 200 is composed of multiple layers of support frames arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The support frame includes two horizontal beams 240 arranged in the front-to-back direction. The support frame also includes a plurality of connecting beams 250. The plurality of connecting beams 250 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the horizontal beams 240. Each connecting beam 250 is fixedly connected to two horizontal beams 240. The setting of the connecting beams 250 can improve the strength and hardness of the support frame, thereby achieving stable support of the goods 600 by the support frame. It should be noted that Figure 7 and Figure 8 The structure of the shelf 200 is basically the same, the main difference between the two is that the length of the connecting beam 250 is different, that is, Figure 7 The depth of the shelf 200 is Figure 8 The depth of the rack 200 shown is large. Figure 7 The rack 200 shown is capable of storing more goods 600 in a single-layer support frame.
[0123] In an optional embodiment, in combination with Fig. 9 The temporary storage mechanism 220 is explained. The temporary storage mechanism 220 includes a fixing part 2201, two pallets 2203 and two cantilevers 2202. The fixing part 2201 is fixedly connected to the bottom storage position 2101, the two cantilevers 2202 are fixedly connected to the fixing part 2201 and are located below the fixing part 2201, the two cantilevers 2202 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the transfer vehicle 300, the pallet 2203 is arranged at the lower end of the cantilever 2202, the two pallets 2203 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the transfer vehicle 300, and the two pallets 2203 can jointly support the goods 600, and the space between the two pallets 2203 can avoid the jacking mechanism of the transfer vehicle 300 (not shown in the figure).
[0124] In an optional embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the fixing part 2201 includes two fixed beams 22011 and a reinforcing beam 22012. The fixed beam 22011 is fixedly connected to the bottom storage position 2101. The two fixed beams 22011 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the transfer vehicle 300. Each fixed beam 22011 is fixedly connected to a corresponding cantilever 2202. The reinforcing beam 22012 is fixedly connected to the two fixed beams 22011 respectively. The reinforcing beam 22012 can increase the overall strength and hardness of the temporary storage mechanism 220.
[0125] In an optional embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the temporary storage mechanism 220 also includes two guide plates 2204, each guide plate 2204 is arranged on a one-to-one corresponding pallet 2203, and the two guide plates 2204 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the transfer vehicle 300. The two guide plates 2204 and the two pallets 2203 together form a storage space 2205 for accommodating the goods 600. The guide plates 2204 can guide the goods 600 into the storage space 2205. The guide plates 2204 can achieve a better correction effect on the goods 600 and a better alignment effect between the goods 600 and the storage space 2205, so that the goods 600 can quickly enter and exit the shelf 200.
[0126] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 10 to Figure 12As shown, the horizontal beam 240 includes a horizontal beam body 2401 and a first connecting member 2402, the transverse track 20 includes a transverse track body 21 and a second connecting member 22, the first connecting member 2402 and the second connecting member 22 are detachably connected, and the first connecting member 2402 and the second connecting member 22 are both located between the horizontal beam body 2401 and the transverse track body 21, and there is no installation and fixing mechanism on the outer surface of the transverse track 20. The outer surface of the transverse track 20 is smooth, which minimizes the interference with the travel of the picking device 100.
[0127] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, the transverse track body 21 is installed on the side of the horizontal beam body 2401 away from the storage position 210, that is, the transverse track body 21 is installed on the outside of the horizontal beam body 2401. The second connecting member 22 includes a first connecting portion 221 and a second connecting portion 222. The first connecting portion 221 is arranged at the upper end of the rear vertical plate 213, and the second connecting portion 222 is arranged at the lower end of the rear vertical plate 213. The first connecting portion 221 is hung with the first connecting member 2402, and the second connecting portion 222 is clamped with the first connecting member 2402.
[0128] Since the first connecting portion 221 is hung on the first connecting piece 2402, and the second connecting portion 222 is clamped on the first connecting piece 2402, the upper and lower ends of the transverse rail body 21 are connected to the first connecting piece 2402, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the transverse rail body 21 and the first connecting piece 2402, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation of the transverse rail body 21 on the shelf 200, and at the same time, it can improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the transverse rail body 21 on the horizontal beam body 2401, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the transverse rail body 21; since the first connecting portion 221 and the second connecting portion 222 are both arranged on the side of the transverse rail body 21 facing the horizontal beam body 2401, it can effectively avoid the transverse rail body 21 and the first connecting piece 2402 from being disconnected. The connecting structure affects the flatness of the upper surface of the transverse rail body 21, and improves the running stability and reliability of the picking device 100 on the transverse rail body 21; furthermore, since the first connecting part 221 is hung with the first connecting member 2402, and the second connecting part 222 is clamped with the first connecting member 2402, the extrusion force between the transverse rail body 21 and the first connecting member 2402 is concentrated on the lower side of the transverse rail body 21, and the first connecting member 2402 only plays a role of hanging support for the first connecting part 221, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the transverse rail body 21 at the first connecting part 221, thereby alleviating or avoiding the deformation of the upper end of the transverse rail body 21 due to the tightening stress, and further ensuring the flatness of the upper surface of the transverse rail body 21.
[0129] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11As shown, the transverse rail body 21 includes a rear vertical plate 213, a transverse plate 212 and a front vertical plate 211 which are connected to form a U-shaped structure. The rear vertical plate 213 and the front vertical plate 211 are opposite to each other and spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, and the upper end surface of the transverse plate 212 forms a walking surface for the picking device 100 to walk on.
[0130] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, the first connecting member 2402 includes a main frame body 24021 and a third connecting portion 24022. The upper end of the main frame body 24021 is hung with the first connecting portion 221. The third connecting portion 24022 is detachably connected to the main frame body 24021 and is combined with the main frame body 24021 to form a card slot 24023. The second connecting portion 222 is card-mounted in the card slot 24023.
[0131] The above arrangement enables that when assembling the transverse track body 21, the main frame 24021 is first installed on the horizontal beam body 2401, and then the installation and positioning of the transverse track body 21 is achieved by the hooking and cooperation between the first connecting part 221 and the horizontal beam body 2401; thereafter, the third connecting part 24022 is assembled with the main frame 24021, so that the second connecting part 222 is clamped between the third connecting part 24022 and the main frame 24021, and the cooperation between the second connecting part 222 and the card slot 24023 limits the second connecting part 222 from escaping upward from the first connecting part 2402, thereby ensuring that the transverse track body 21 is fixed on the horizontal beam body 2401 Installation stability; at the same time, this arrangement forms a slot 24023 through the cooperation between the third connection part 24022 and the main frame 24021, thereby clamping and preventing the second connection part 222 from falling off, and by removing the third connection part 24022 from the main frame 24021, the second connection part 222 can be separated from the first connection member 2402, without the need to deform the second connection part 222 to enter and exit the slot 24023, thereby not causing wear to the second connection part 222, and also helping to ensure the overall structural strength and rigidity of the second connection part 222, and ensure the long-term use performance of the transverse rail body 21 and the first connection member 2402.
[0132] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the slot 24023 has an upwardly arranged slot, and the width of the slot in the front-to-back direction is smaller than the slot bottom width of the slot 24023 in the front-to-back direction, that is, the slot 24023 has a limiting slot wall 2402221 opposite to and spaced from the slot bottom of the slot 24023, and the limiting slot wall 2402221 abuts against the second connecting portion 222 to limit the second connecting portion 222 from escaping the slot 24023 upward.
[0133] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the second connection part 222 includes a lower connection arm part 2221 and a hook part 2222. The lower connection arm part 2221 is connected between the rear vertical plate 213 and the hook part 2222. The lower connection arm part 2221 is inserted into the notch of the slot 24023. The hook part 2222 is clamped in the slot 24023 and abuts against the upper side slot wall of the slot 24023. This facilitates the cooperation between the hook part 2222 and the slot 24023, and limits the upward shaking of the hook part 2222 relative to the first connection member 2402. The slot walls on both sides of the slot 24023 along the front-to-back direction are abutted against the hook part 2222 to limit the sliding of the hook part 2222 in the slot 24023 along the front-to-back direction, thereby ensuring the cooperation stability between the second connection part 222 and the first connection member 2402.
[0134] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the hook portion 2222 protrudes from the corresponding side of the lower connecting arm portion 2221 toward the side of the front vertical plate 211, and the side of the second connecting portion 222 away from the front vertical plate 211 abuts against the main frame 24021. This arrangement enables the limiting groove wall 2402221 to be arranged on the third connecting portion 24022, thereby simplifying the processing difficulty of the main frame 24021; at the same time, it is beneficial to realize the positioning between the transverse track body 21 and the main frame 24021 before the third connecting portion 24022 is assembled through the abutment between the second connecting portion 222 and the main frame 24021, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy of the main frame 24021, the third connecting portion 24022 and the transverse track body 21.
[0135] In an optional embodiment, the hook portion 2222 may protrude from the corresponding side of the lower connecting arm portion 2221 on the side facing away from the front vertical plate 211, and the second connecting portion 222 may abut against the third connecting portion 24022 on the side facing the front vertical plate 211, and the limiting groove wall 2402221 may be formed on the main frame body 24021.
[0136] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the third connecting portion 24022 includes a pressing plate portion 240221 and an upper limit portion 240222 connected to the upper side of the pressing plate portion 240221, the pressing plate portion 240221 is opposite to the main frame 24021 and is arranged at intervals, the upper limit portion 240222, the pressing plate portion 240221 and the main frame 24021 are surrounded to form a slot 24023, and the lower side of the upper limit portion 240222 forms a limit slot wall 2402221. The hook portion 2222 is clamped between the pressing plate portion 240221 and the main frame 24021, and the lower connecting arm portion 2221 is clamped between the upper limit portion 240222 and the main frame 24021.
[0137] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11and Fig.12 As shown, the limiting groove wall 2402221 is inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the notch. This arrangement allows the limiting groove wall 2402221 to gradually contact and fit with the upper end surface of the hook portion 2222 when the third connecting portion 24022 approaches the main frame 24021, so as to ensure the downward pressure of the upper limit portion 240222 on the hook portion 2222, ensure the clamping effect on the second connecting portion 222, and avoid the cooperation between the limiting groove wall 2402221 and the hook portion 2222 to affect the installation of the third connecting portion 24022. The inclination angle of the limiting groove wall 2402221 relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 20° to 45°. In other embodiments, the limiting groove wall 2402221 can also be arranged horizontally.
[0138] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the third connecting part 24022 also includes a lower limit part 240223 connected to the lower side of the pressure plate part 240221.

[0139] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the third connection part 24022 and the main frame body 24021 are preferably fastened by fastening screws 24024 to ensure the stability of the third connection part 24022 and the main frame body 24021 after installation. At least two fastening screws 24024 are preferably arranged at intervals along the left and right directions to further ensure the installation reliability of the third connection part 24022 and the main frame body 24021. In this optional embodiment, the fastening screws 24024 extend along the front-to-back direction and pass through the pressure plate part 240221 and the main frame body 24021 in sequence, and the fastening screws 24024 are located below the second connection part 222.

An internal threaded hole is provided on the boss portion 240213, and a fixing through hole is provided on the pressing plate portion 240221, and the fixing through hole is aligned with the internal threaded hole in a one-to-one correspondence, and a fastening screw 24024 passes through the fixing through hole and is screwed into the internal threaded hole. The fixing through hole is preferably a countersunk hole to prevent the head of the fastening screw 24024 from protruding outward from the third connecting portion 24022. Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the first connecting member 2402 further includes a fastener 24025, which can fix the main frame 24021 with the horizontal beam body 2401, thereby realizing the rapid disassembly and assembly of the first connecting member 2402 and the horizontal beam body 2401. Exemplarily, the fastener 24025 can be a screw, a pin, a buckle assembly, etc.
[0141] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, a hook groove is provided at the upper end of the first connecting member 2402, and the first connecting portion 221 is hung in the hook groove.

The hook portion 2212 is inserted into the hook groove and abuts against a side of the hook groove facing the transverse rail body 21, and the upper connecting arm portion 2211 abuts against the upper end of the first connecting member 2402, thereby making the bottom of the hook groove and the upper end of the first connecting member 2402 support the first connecting portion 221 upward, and the side groove wall of the hook groove restricts the hook portion 2212 from escaping from the hook groove in the front-back direction.
[0142] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the upper end of the first connecting member 2402 is in contact with the side of the rear vertical plate 213 away from the front vertical plate 211 toward the side of the transverse rail body 21, so as to realize the installation positioning and limiting of the first connecting member 2402 and the transverse rail body 21 in the front-to-back direction, and ensure the installation reliability of the transverse rail body 21 on the first connecting member 2402.

In other embodiments, the hook groove can also be directly enclosed at the upper end of the main frame 24021.
[0145] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, a hanging plate portion 240212 extends upward from the upper end of the fixed plate portion 240211, and the hanging plate portion 240212, the fixed plate portion 240211 and the horizontal beam body 2401 together form a hook groove, and the hanging plate portion 240212 is inserted into the groove formed by the rear vertical plate 213 and the first connecting portion 221.

This arrangement can further prevent the fastening screws 24024 from scratching the internal structure of the transverse track body 21, thereby improving the safety of the track assembly 3.
[0147] In order to improve the convenience of connecting the main frame 24021 and the third connecting part 24022, the lower limit part 240223 is abutted against the upper side of the boss part 240213, and one end of the lower limit part 240223 away from the pressing plate part 240221 is abutted against the fixing plate part 240211 to achieve the assembly positioning of the third connecting part 24022 and the main frame 24021.

Fig.18 As shown, the travel wheel assembly 16 further includes a travel wheel motor 162 , and the travel wheel motor 162 can drive the travel wheel 161 to rotate, thereby realizing the travel movement of the travel wheel 161 along the transverse board 212 .
[0149] In the prior art, the track travel mechanism 10 also includes a guide wheel, which is arranged on the mounting plate 11 and is pivotally connected to the mounting plate 11. The guide wheel rotates in the up and down directions. The outer peripheral surface of the guide wheel abuts against an outer side surface of the front vertical plate 211. The method of setting the guide wheel on one side of the front vertical plate 211 has a slightly weaker guiding effect on the vertical rail 30.
[0150] In order to solve the above problems, Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the track travel mechanism 10 includes a first guide wheel 12 and a second guide wheel 13, both of which are pivotally connected to the mounting plate 11 and can rotate in an up-and-down direction.

The gap 14 between the first guide wheel 12 and the second guide wheel 13 is located on the side of the first connecting plate 111 facing the front vertical plate 211. The front vertical plate 211 is inserted into the gap 14. When the track running mechanism 10 moves relative to the transverse track 20, the first connecting plate 111 and the front vertical plate 211 can be effectively prevented from interfering. For example, as shown in FIG. Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the side of the first connecting plate 111 facing the front vertical plate 211 refers to the rear side of the rear side surface 1113 .

The encoder 15 includes an idler wheel 151, which is in contact with the front vertical plate 211. When the track travel mechanism 10 travels along the transverse track 20, the rotation of the idler wheel 151 is converted into the travel distance of the track travel mechanism 10, so that the cargo storage and retrieval system can control the cargo retrieval device 100 accordingly in combination with the corresponding information.
