[0032] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0034] Techniques and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0035] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0036] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a stereoscopic warehouse transfer mechanism, which is used to transfer pallets 003 between a conveyor line 001 and a stereoscopic warehouse 002. Among them, materials are placed on the pallet 003, that is, the materials can be transferred between the conveyor line 001 and the stereoscopic warehouse 002 through the stereoscopic warehouse transfer mechanism.

[0038] Specifically, the three-dimensional warehouse transfer mechanism includes:

[0039] A first stacking unit 1 and a second stacking unit 2, wherein the first stacking unit 1 and the second stacking unit 2 are respectively located on both sides of an entrance 0021 of a three-dimensional warehouse 002, one of the first stacking unit 1 and the second stacking unit 2 is used for storing an incoming pallet 003, and the other of the first stacking unit 1 and the second stacking unit 2 is used for storing an outgoing pallet 003;

[0040] The conveying unit 3 is located in the stereoscopic warehouse 002. The conveying unit 3 includes at least one layer of forks 31. The forks 31 are used to pick up the pallet 003. The layer height of the forks 31, the layer height of the first stacking unit 1 and the layer height of the second stacking unit 2 are matched.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 are usually located at two opposite sides of the entrance 0021 of the stereoscopic warehouse 002, which can facilitate the conveying unit 3 to carry out the transfer work between the first stack unit 1 and the shelves of the stereoscopic warehouse 002 and between the second stack unit 2 and the shelves of the stereoscopic warehouse 002.

[0042] Specifically, one of the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 serves as an incoming stack unit, that is, the pallet 003 to be transported by the conveying unit 3 can be temporarily stored on the incoming stack unit so that the pallet 003 can be transported after the conveying unit 3 completes the current work; the other of the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 serves as an outgoing stack unit, that is, the conveying unit 3 can temporarily store the pallet 003 it transports on the outgoing stack unit so that the conveyor line 001 can transport it, so that the storage position 11 of the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 can be used to temporarily store the pallet 003, thereby avoiding the pallet 003 being squeezed on the conveyor line 001 and affecting other processes.

[0043] The setting of the incoming stack unit and the outgoing stack unit can usually be matched according to the conveying path of the conveyor line 001. Along the conveying path of the conveyor line 001, the stack unit before the entrance 0021 of the three-dimensional warehouse 002 is usually the incoming stack unit, and the stack unit after the entrance 0021 of the three-dimensional warehouse 002 is usually the outgoing stack unit. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the figure, the conveying path of conveyor line 001 is from left to right, the incoming stack unit is the first stack unit 1, and the outgoing stack unit is the second stack unit 2.

[0044] The conveying unit 3 may be a stacker. Tracks are provided in the stereoscopic warehouse 002 . The stacker can move along the tracks between the stacking unit and the stereoscopic warehouse 002 to facilitate the transfer of the pallet 003 .

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying unit 3 includes at least one layer of forks 31. That is, the conveying unit 3 may include one layer of forks 31, or may include two, three or even more layers of forks 31, and each layer of forks 31 can fork the pallet 003, so that the pallet 003 can be placed on the conveying unit 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the height of the fork 31 in the conveying unit 3, the height of the first stacking unit 1, and the height of the second stacking unit 2 are set to match each other. For example, when the multi-layer fork 31 in the conveying unit 3, the multi-layer storage position 11 in the first stacking unit 1, and the multi-layer storage position 11 in the second stacking unit 2 are arranged evenly along their own height directions, the heights of the three are set to be the same; or when the multi-layer fork 31 in the conveying unit 3, the multi-layer storage position 11 in the first stacking unit 1, and the multi-layer storage position 11 in the second stacking unit 2 are arranged unevenly along their own height directions, the heights of the corresponding layers of the three are set to be the same, both of which can make the fork 31 on the conveying unit 3 and the storage position 11 in the stacking unit exactly opposite to each other during the transportation process of the conveying unit 3, so as to facilitate the synchronous transportation of multiple pallets 003 between the two, and also improve the transportation efficiency.

[0047] Optionally, the conveying unit 3 includes multiple layers of forks 31 , and the multiple layers of forks 31 are arranged along the height direction of the conveying unit 3 .

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying unit 3 may include two, three or even more layers of forks 31, and each layer of forks 31 can fork a pallet 003, so that multiple pallets 003 can be placed on the conveying unit 3 together, which also improves the conveying efficiency of the conveying unit 3.

[0049] Optionally, the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 respectively include multiple layers of storage positions 11, and the multiple layers of storage positions 11 are arranged along the height direction of the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2, and the layer height of the fork 31, the layer height of the first stack unit 1 and the layer height of the second stack unit 2 are correspondingly equal.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 respectively include multiple layers of storage positions 11, and each layer of storage position 11 can store a pallet 003, so that multiple pallets 003 can be placed on the stack unit, which also improves the storage capacity of the stack unit.

[0051] Furthermore, by setting the layer height of the fork 31, the layer height of the first stack unit 1 and the layer height of the second stack unit 2 to be equal, during the transportation process of the conveying unit 3, the fork 31 on the conveying unit 3 and the storage position 11 in the stacking unit are exactly opposite to each other, thereby facilitating the synchronous transportation of multiple pallets 003 between the two and improving the transportation efficiency.

[0052] Optionally, multiple layers of the forks 31 are evenly arranged along the height direction of the conveying unit 3 , and multiple layers of the storage positions 11 are evenly arranged along the height direction of the first stacking unit 1 and the second stacking unit 2 .

[0053] Specifically, when the multi-layer forks 31 in the conveying unit 3, the multi-layer storage positions 11 in the first stacking unit 1, and the multi-layer storage positions 11 in the second stacking unit 2 are evenly arranged along their own height directions, setting the layer heights of the three to be the same can ensure that during the transportation process of the conveying unit 3, the forks 31 on the conveying unit 3 are exactly opposite to the storage positions 11 in the stacking units, thereby facilitating the synchronous transportation of multiple pallets 003 between the two and improving the transportation efficiency.

[0054] Optionally, the conveying unit 3 includes a layer of forks 31, and the forks 31 are used to fork the pallets 003 stacked in multiple layers.

[0055] Specifically, according to different arrangements of the stereoscopic warehouse 002, the conveying unit 3 may also include only a single-layer fork 31, which can pick up multiple stacked pallets 003 at a time, so that the multiple stacked pallets 003 can be transferred between the conveyor line 001 and the stereoscopic warehouse 002, which simplifies the structure of the conveying unit 3. Since the single-layer fork 31 is required to pick up multiple stacked pallets 003 at a time, the single-layer fork 31 usually has a strong strength.

[0056] Optionally, the conveying unit 3 also includes a supporting platform 32 and a first driving member 33, the fork 31 and the first driving member 33 are respectively arranged on the supporting platform 32, the fork 31 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 33, and the fork 31 can be extended and retracted and forked under the drive of the first driving member 33.

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the carrying platform 32 serves as a structural support for the conveying unit 3, and is used to carry and install the fork 31 and the first driving member 33. The first driving member 33 includes but is not limited to a combination of a cylinder and a guide rail, a motor and a guide rail, etc. The fork 31 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 33, and the fork 31 can be extended and forked to pick up the pallet 003 under the drive of the first driving member 33, or retracted to store the pallet 003 on the conveying unit 3, so as to facilitate the conveying function of the conveying unit 3.

[0058] Optionally, the conveying unit 3 further includes a second driving member 34 , which is connected to the carrying platform 32 and can drive the carrying platform 32 to move along the height direction of the conveying unit 3 .

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second driving member 34 includes but is not limited to a combination of a cylinder and a guide rail, a motor and a guide rail, etc. The carrying platform 32 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 34, and the carrying platform 32 can be driven by the second driving member 34 to rise or fall and move to a corresponding height of a shelf or a stacking unit, which can facilitate the transfer of the pallet 003 between the shelf and the conveying unit 3 or between the stacking unit and the conveying unit 3.

[0060] Optionally, the first stacking unit 1 includes at least one layer of storage positions 11 , and the layer height of the storage positions 11 is adapted to correspond to the layer height of the forks 31 .

[0061] Specifically, the first stack unit 1 may include one, two or even more layers of storage locations 11 , each layer of storage locations 11 being capable of storing a pallet 003 , so that a plurality of pallets 003 can be placed on the first stack unit 1 , thereby improving the storage capacity of the first stack unit 1 .

[0062] Furthermore, the layer height of the fork 31 is set to be equal to the layer height of the first stack unit 1, so that during the transfer process of the conveying unit 3, the fork 31 on the conveying unit 3 is exactly opposite to the storage position 11 in the first stack unit 1, thereby facilitating the synchronous transfer of multiple pallets 003 between the two and improving the transfer efficiency.

[0063] Optionally, the first stacking unit 1 includes multiple layers of the storage positions 11 and a third driving member 12 , and the third driving member 12 is used to drive the pallet 003 to move along the height direction of the first stacking unit 1 to the corresponding storage position 11 .

[0064] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first stack unit 1 may include multiple storage positions 11 evenly arranged along its height direction, so that multiple pallets 003 can be stored on the first stack unit 1, and the structure of the first stack unit 1 itself is even and beautiful. The third driving member 12 includes but is not limited to a combination of a motor and a belt pulley, a motor and a chain sprocket, and the output of the motor can be transmitted to the pallet 003 through a belt pulley or a chain sprocket, so that the pallet 003 can be driven to rise or fall, and move to the corresponding storage position 11 for temporary storage.

[0065] Optionally, the structure of the second stack unit 2 is the same as that of the first stack unit 1, so that the first stack unit 1 and the second stack unit 2 can have good consistency in structure, function and operation, reducing the production and maintenance difficulty of the three-dimensional warehouse transfer mechanism, and facilitating the replacement of the second stack unit 2 with the first stack unit 1, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the three-dimensional warehouse transfer mechanism.

[0066] The utility model also provides a three-dimensional warehouse 002, including the above-mentioned three-dimensional warehouse transfer mechanism, wherein the three-dimensional warehouse 002 is provided with a shelf, and the layer height of the shelf is equal to the layer height of the fork 31, so that during the transfer process of the conveying unit 3, the fork 31 on the conveying unit 3 is exactly opposite to the shelf in the three-dimensional warehouse 002, thereby facilitating the synchronous transfer of multiple pallets 003 between the two and also improving the transfer efficiency.
