[0046] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0047] It is understood that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or components that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a picker 100, which can take the goods placed on the shelf 200 from the shelf 200. The picker 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a frame 120, a hopper 130 and a picker assembly 110. The hopper 130 is installed on the frame 120, and the picker assembly 110 is connected to the frame 120. The picker assembly 110 is used to guide the goods to slide into the hopper 130.

[0049] The shelf 200 includes a plurality of cargo pallets 210 arranged at intervals, each cargo pallet 210 being arranged at an angle, and the cargo pallets 210 are used to support goods. A baffle 230 is provided at the end of each cargo pallet 210, and the baffle 230 is used to prevent the goods from sliding off the cargo pallet 210 due to their own gravity. A notch 211 is also provided at the end of each cargo pallet 210, and two adjacent notches 211 in adjacent cargo pallets 210 form a notch 212. A partition 220 is also provided on each cargo pallet 210, and two adjacent partitions 220 in adjacent cargo pallets 210 form a storage space, and the storage space is used to store a plurality of goods arranged side by side along the inclination direction of the cargo pallet 210. Under the action of gravity, two adjacent goods lean against each other, and the goods located at the bottom of the plurality of goods lean against the baffle 230.

[0050] When the picker 100 picks up goods, the picking component 110 moves to the bottom of the cargo plate 210, and moves from bottom to top through the notch 212, so that the picking component 110 picks up the goods at the bottom of the multiple goods, and makes the goods flip over the baffle 230 and slide to the picking component 110, and then slide through the picking component 110 into the hopper 130.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame 120 includes a first crossbeam 121, two second crossbeams 122, two longitudinal beams 123 and a back plate 124. The length direction of the first crossbeam 121 is parallel to the left-right direction D1 (the direction indicated by the arrow is left, and the reverse direction is right), the length direction of the second crossbeam 122 is parallel to the front-back direction D2 (the direction indicated by the arrow is front, and the reverse direction is rear), and the length direction of the longitudinal beam 123 is parallel to the up-down direction D3 (the direction indicated by the arrow is up, and the reverse direction is down). The two ends of the first crossbeam 121 along the left-right direction D1 are respectively connected to the front ends of the two second crossbeams 122, and the lower ends of the two longitudinal beams 123 are respectively connected to the rear ends of the two second crossbeams 122. The back plate 124 is connected to the two longitudinal beams 123 and is located at the rear side of the two longitudinal beams 123. Among them, the left-right direction D1, the front-back direction D2, and the up-down direction D3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] The frame 120 further includes two support beams 125 . The length direction of each support beam 125 is parallel to the up-down direction D3 , and the two support beams 125 are respectively connected to the two second cross beams 122 .

[0053] Among them, the cargo picker 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes two cargo pick-up components 110, the two cargo pick-up components 110 are relatively arranged along the left-right direction D1, and are respectively connected to two support beams 125, and the two cargo pick-up components 110 are also connected to the back panel 124.

[0054] The hopper 130 is located in a space enclosed by the first cross beam 121 and the two second cross beams 122 , and the hopper 130 is connected to the two picking components 110 .

[0055] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the picking assembly 110 can also be one, three or other numbers. The hopper 130 can be connected to the first beam 121 and the second beam 122 .

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the hopper 130 has an outlet 131 for the goods to slide out. The picker 100 also includes an opening and closing component 140, which is used to open or close the outlet 131.

[0057] As an example, the opening and closing assembly 140 includes a driving mechanism 141 and a door component 142, the door component 142 is movable between a first position closing the outlet 131 and a second position opening the outlet 131, and the driving mechanism 141 is connected to the hopper 130 and connected to the door component 142, and is used to drive the door component 142 to move. It can be understood that by setting the opening and closing assembly 140, it is possible to control when the goods in the hopper 130 slide out of the hopper 130.

[0058] It is understandable that the driving mechanism 141 can be a motor, an electric push rod, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pickup assembly 110 of the embodiment of the present application includes a ramp 111, a guide member 112, a rotating unit 113 and a motor 114. The ramp 111 has an edge 1111. The guide member 112 is connected to the ramp 111, and at least part of the guide member 112 extends out of the edge 1111; the rotating unit 113 is rotatably connected to the part of the guide member 112 extending out of the edge 1111, and is used to generate friction with the goods, so as to drive the goods to pass through the guide member 112 and slide into the ramp 111; the motor 114 is connected to the rotating unit 113, and is used to drive the rotating unit 113 to rotate.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, when the picking component 110 of the embodiment of the present application picks up goods, the guide member 112 and at least part of the rotating unit 113 pass through the notch 212 from bottom to top, and the motor 114 drives the rotating unit 113 to rotate, and utilizes the friction between the rotating unit 113 and the goods to drive the goods through the guide member 112 and slide into the slope 111.

[0061] It can be seen that the pickup assembly 110 of the embodiment of the present application can take out the goods by rotating the rotating unit 113 and utilizing the friction force generated between the rotating unit 113 and the goods, and its pickup efficiency is significantly improved. In addition, when the goods slide into the pickup assembly 110, they are not only affected by the gravity of the goods themselves, but also by the friction force, which significantly improves the success rate of the goods sliding into the pickup assembly 110.

[0062] The slope 111 has a target angle relative to the horizontal plane, that is, the slope 111 is inclined. The slope 111 has a bottom plate 1115 and two side plates 1116. The bottom plate 1115 is connected to the two side plates 1116 on both sides along the front-to-back direction D2. The side plates 1116 can prevent the goods on the slope 111 from sliding off the side of the slope 111. The bottom plate 1115 of the slope 111 has the edge 1111.

[0063] Please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4, the rotating unit 113 includes two rotating members 1131 and an annular member 1132. For the convenience of explanation, the two rotating members 1131 are respectively defined as a first rotating member 1131a and a second rotating member 1131b. The first rotating member 1131a is connected to the output shaft of the motor 114, and the second rotating member 1131b is rotatably connected to the portion of the guide member 112 extending from the edge 1111. The annular member 1132 is arranged around the outer circumference of the two rotating members 1131, and the outer side surface of the annular member 1132 is used to generate friction with the goods. When the motor 114 is working, it drives the first rotating member 1131a to rotate, and the first rotating member 1131a drives the annular member 1132 to rotate, and then drives the second rotating member 1131b to follow. During the rotation of the annular member 1132, the outer surface of the annular member 1132 can generate friction with the goods, and then use the friction to drag the goods from the shelf 200 into the slope 111.

[0064] As an example, the inner side of the annular member 1132 has a first tooth structure, and the outer side of each rotating member 1131 has a second tooth structure, and the first tooth structure meshes with the second tooth structure. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the rotating unit 113 is a synchronous belt structure. When the rotating unit 113 is a synchronous belt structure, the first rotating member 1131a is a synchronous wheel, the second rotating member 1131b is a driven wheel, and the annular member 1132 is a synchronous belt.

[0065] Of course, the rotating unit 113 is not limited to the synchronous belt structure. For example, in other embodiments, the rotating unit 113 includes a friction wheel and a motor. The friction wheel is rotatably connected to the portion of the guide member 112 extending from the edge 1111. The motor is connected to the friction wheel to drive the friction wheel to rotate so that the friction wheel generates friction with the cargo, thereby driving the cargo to pass through the guide member 112 and slide into the ramp 111.

[0066] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom plate 1115 of the ramp 111 also has a slope 1112 for guiding the sliding of goods and a back side 1114 disposed opposite to the slope 1112. One side of the slope 1112 is an edge 1111, and the guide member 112 is attached to the slope 1112. The first rotating member 1131a and the motor 114 are both located on the side where the back side 1114 is located, and at least part of the second rotating member 1131b is higher than the slope 1112. In one embodiment, the motor 114 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1115 of the ramp 111. In other embodiments, the motor 114 can also be fixedly connected to the frame 120. The motor 114 is located on the side where the back side 1114 of the ramp 111 is located, and will not affect the sliding of goods on the slope 1112.

[0067] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide member 112 includes a connecting portion 1121 and a pair of cantilevers 1122. The connecting portion 1121 is connected to the slope 111 and fits the slope surface 1112. The pair of cantilevers 1122 is connected to the connecting portion 1121 and at least partially extends out of the edge 1111; wherein at least a portion of the rotating unit 113 is rotatably connected between the pair of cantilevers 1122.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the second rotating member 1131b is rotatably connected between the pair of cantilevers 1122, and at least a portion of the annular member 1132 is located between the pair of cantilevers 1122. By rotatably arranging the second rotating member 1131b between the pair of cantilevers 1122, the stability of the rotation of the second rotating member 1131b can be improved, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the annular member 1132, and achieving the effect of stably taking out the goods.

[0069] It can be understood that the connecting portion 1121 and the slope 111 can be a separate structure or an integrated structure.

[0070] A reinforcing portion 1124 is provided at one end of the cantilever 1122 connected to the connecting portion 1121. The reinforcing portion 1124 and the connecting portion 1121 are respectively located on both sides of the thickness direction of the slope 111, and a slot 1125 for inserting the slope 111 is formed between the reinforcing portion 1124 and the connecting portion 1121. In detail, the connecting portion 1121 is located on the side where the slope surface 1112 of the bottom plate 1115 of the slope 111 is located, and the reinforcing portion 1124 is located on the side where the back surface 1114 of the bottom plate 1115 is located. When the guide member 112 is assembled with the slope 111, the side where the edge 1111 of the slope 111 is located is inserted into the slot 1125 formed by the reinforcing portion 1124 and the connecting portion 1121.

[0071] When the goods slide onto the guide member 112, since the cantilever 1122 of the guide member 112 is suspended in the air, the cantilever 1122 may bend downward under the weight of the goods. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the reinforcing portion 1124, the overall structural strength of the guide member 112 can be improved. When the cantilever 1122 has a tendency to bend downward, the reinforcing portion 1124 can abut against the bottom plate 1115 of the slope 111 to maintain the stability of the guide member 112.

[0072] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a stopper 1123 is provided at one end of each cantilever 1122 away from the connecting portion 1121 . The stopper 1123 protrudes from the cantilever 1122 along the thickness direction of the connecting portion 1121 , and the stopper 1123 protrudes to the left and downward direction to stop the goods.

[0073] like Figure 1As shown, when the guide member 112 lifts the goods at the bottom through the notch 212 from bottom to top, the goods slide down the slope 111 under the action of their own weight and the friction between the annular member 1132 and the goods. At this time, the remaining goods will automatically move toward the baffle 230 under the action of their own weight.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, when the remaining goods slide down automatically on the cargo plate 210, the stopper 1123 will stop the goods before the baffle 230. After the picker 100 moves away from the notch 212, the remaining goods will continue to slide down until they are blocked by the baffle 230. In other words, after the picker 100 takes away a piece of goods, the remaining goods slide to the baffle 230 in two stages, which can shorten the sliding distance of the goods in each stage and avoid the sliding distance being too long and causing the goods to have a large inertia and rush out of the baffle 230.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the edge 1111 of the slope 111 has an opening 1113 , and the opening 1113 passes through the slope surface 1112 and the back surface 1114 . The annular member 1132 is movably disposed in the opening 1113 .

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the annular member 1132 is movably inserted into the opening 1113 of the slope 111 , which can reduce the length of the guide member 112 extending from the edge 1111 of the slope 111 , thereby saving costs and preventing the guide member 112 from forming a long cantilever structure.

[0077] In summary, the pickup assembly 110 and the pickup device 100 of the embodiment of the present application have at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0078] The pickup assembly 110 of the embodiment of the present application can take out the goods by rotating the rotating unit 113 and utilizing the friction force generated between the rotating unit 113 and the goods, and its pickup efficiency is significantly improved. In addition, when the goods slide into the pickup assembly 110, they are not only affected by the gravity of the goods themselves, but also by the friction force, which significantly improves the success rate of the goods sliding into the pickup assembly 110.
