[0040] With the development of intelligent technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data, the demand for transforming and upgrading the traditional logistics industry by using these intelligent technologies has become increasingly strong, and intelligent logistics (ILS, Intelligent Logistics System) has become a research hotspot in the field of logistics. Intelligent logistics uses artificial intelligence, big data, and various information sensors, radio frequency identification technology, global positioning system (GPS, Global Positioning System) and other Internet of Things devices and technologies, which are widely used in basic activities such as material transportation, warehousing, distribution, packaging, loading and unloading, and information services, to achieve intelligent analysis and decision-making, automated operation, and efficient optimization management of the material management process. Internet of Things technologies include sensor equipment, radio frequency identification (RFID, Radio Frequency Identification) technology, laser infrared scanning, infrared sensing recognition, etc. The Internet of Things can effectively connect materials in logistics with the network, monitor materials in real time, and sense environmental data such as humidity and temperature in the warehouse to ensure the storage environment of materials. Through big data technology, all data in logistics can be sensed and collected, uploaded to the data layer of the information platform, and filtered, mined, analyzed, and finally provide accurate data support for business processes (such as transportation, warehousing, storage, picking, packaging, sorting, outbound, inventory, distribution, etc.). The application direction of artificial intelligence in logistics can be roughly divided into two types: 1) Intelligent equipment such as unmanned trucks, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), forklifts, shuttles, stackers, unmanned delivery vehicles, drones, service robots, robotic arms, smart terminals, etc., which are enabled by artificial intelligence technology, replace some manual labor; 2) Software systems such as transportation equipment management systems, warehouse management, equipment scheduling systems, and order distribution systems driven by technologies or algorithms such as computer vision, machine learning, and operations optimization improve labor efficiency. With the research and progress of smart logistics, this technology has been applied in many fields, such as retail and e-commerce, electronic products, tobacco, medicine, industrial manufacturing, footwear, textiles, and food.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the shelf includes: a shelf body 10 and a climbing structure 20.

[0042] The climbing structure 20 includes a supporting body 21 and a plurality of rollers 22. The supporting body 21 is fixed to the shelf body 10 and extends along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10. A climbing groove 210 is provided on the supporting body 21. The climbing groove 210 extends along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the notch of the climbing groove 210 is away from the shelf body 10. The plurality of rollers 22 are distributed at intervals along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10. The plurality of rollers 22 are used to enable the transfer robot 100 to climb or descend along the direction of the shelf body 10.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, since the support body 21 is fixed to the shelf body 10, the shelf body 10 is equivalent to fixing the support body 21, so that the position of the support body 21 is fixed and not easy to shake. Since the support body 21 extends along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, a climbing groove 210 is provided on the support body 21, and multiple rollers 22 are spaced apart along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the rollers 22 can rotate relative to the climbing groove 210. Therefore, when the transfer robot 100 is needed to transport goods to the shelf body 10, the transfer robot 100 can climb along the climbing structure 20, that is, the gear teeth on the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 are embedded in the gap between two adjacent rollers 22, which is equivalent to the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 being engaged with the rollers 22. When the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 rotates, the transfer gear 110 moves along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the gear teeth of the transfer gear 110 will contact the rollers 22. The rollers 22 support the transfer gear 110, thereby ensuring the rotation of the transfer gear 110, and further ensuring that the transfer gear 110 can effectively climb. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by fixing the support body 21 on the shelf body 10, and distributing a plurality of rollers 22 at intervals in the climbing groove 210 on the support body 21, the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can be meshed with the plurality of rollers 22. After the gear teeth of the transfer gear 110 are embedded in the gaps between the rollers 22, the rollers 22 can support the transfer gear 110, thereby ensuring that the transfer gear 110 can effectively climb, thereby improving the efficiency of the transfer robot 100 in climbing along the climbing structure 20.

[0044] In addition, the support body 21 is fixed on the shelf body 10, and the shelf body 10 can fix and support the support body 21, and the roller 22 is arranged in the climbing groove 210 of the support body 21, so that the support body 21 can support the roller 22.

[0045] In addition, the notch of the climbing groove 210 faces away from the shelf body 10, thereby ensuring that the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can extend into the climbing groove 210 and engage with the roller 22, avoiding the problem that the support body 21 or the shelf body 10 may block the climbing groove 210 and affect the engagement of the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 with the roller 22.

[0046] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the support body 21 may include a first support plate 211, a second support plate 212 and a back plate 213; the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 are spaced apart, the back plate 213 is located between the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, and the back plate 213 is respectively connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, the back plate 213, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 enclose a climbing groove 210, and the roller 22 is respectively rotatably connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 so that the roller 22 can rotate relative to the climbing groove 210; wherein the back plate 213, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 all extend along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and at least one of the back plate 213, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 is fixedly connected to the shelf body 10.

[0047] Since the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 are spaced apart, the back plate 213 is located between the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, and the back plate 213 is respectively connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, therefore, it is equivalent to forming a climbing groove 210 by enclosing the back plate 213, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, and at least one of the back plate 213, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 is fixedly connected to the shelf body 10, ensuring that the support body 21 can be fixed on the shelf body 10, so that the shelf body 10 can effectively support and fix the support body 21, and the structural stability formed by the back plate 213, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 is relatively high, ensuring that the stability of the support body 21 is relatively high. In addition, the roller 22 can be placed between the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, so that the roller 22 is rotatably connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 respectively, so that the roller 22 can be supported by the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212, ensuring that after the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 is engaged with the roller 22, the roller 22 can support the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100, so that the transfer gear 110 can climb along the plurality of rollers 22. That is, by providing the first support plate 211, the second support plate 212 and the back plate 213, the stability of the support body 21 can be made higher, which is convenient for the transfer robot 100 to climb or descend along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10.

[0048] It should be noted that the roller 22 is rotatably connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 respectively, so that the roller 22 can be rotatable relative to the climbing groove 210. The roller 22 can be rotatable relative to the climbing groove 210, so that once the teeth on the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 contact with the roller 22, when the transfer gear 110 rotates, the roller 22 can not only support the teeth of the transfer gear 110 to prevent the transfer robot 100 from falling during the climbing process, but also the roller 22 can rotate to ensure that the transfer gear 110 can rotate normally, thereby driving the transfer robot 100 to climb or descend along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10.

[0049] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the roller 22 is rotatably connected to the climbing groove 210 via the rotating shaft 220. Through such a setting, the roller 22 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 220 to ensure that the roller 22 can rotate relative to the climbing groove 210, and the rotating shaft 220 can also support the roller 22, so that the roller 22 has a certain support, and then the roller 22 can support the transport gear 110 of the transport robot 100. Specifically, the opposite ends of the rotating shaft 220 can be rotatably connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 respectively, and the roller 22 is arranged on the rotating shaft 220, which is equivalent to the roller 220 being rotatably connected to the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212.

[0050] It should be noted that the roller 22 can be passed through the rotating shaft 220, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 220 are respectively connected to the groove wall of the climbing groove 210, so that the roller 22 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 220, and then the roller 22 rotates relative to the climbing groove 210. Among them, the two ends of the rotating shaft 220 can be connected to the groove wall of the climbing groove 210 by riveting, and of course, they can also be connected by other methods, for example, connecting the two ends of the rotating shaft 220 to the groove wall of the climbing groove 210 by screws.

[0051] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the support body 21 may also include a first fixing plate 214 and a second fixing plate 215; the first fixing plate 214 is fixed to the first support plate 211, the second fixing plate 215 is fixed to the second support plate 212, and the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 are both located outside the climbing groove 210, and the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 are both located at the notch of the climbing groove 210; wherein, the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 both extend along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10.

[0052] Since the first fixing plate 214 is fixed to the first support plate 211, the second fixing plate 215 is fixed to the second support plate 212, and the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 are both located outside the climbing groove 210, the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 can improve the strength of the support body 21, and the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 will not affect the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 from entering the climbing groove 210. That is, by providing the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215, the strength of the support body 21 can be effectively improved, which is conducive to the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 climbing or descending along the support body 21.

[0053] It should be noted that the angle between the first fixed plate 214 and the first support plate 211 can be 90°, that is, the first fixed plate 214 is perpendicular to the first support plate 211. Of course, the angle between the first fixed plate 214 and the first support plate 211 can also be other values, for example, the angle between the first fixed plate 214 and the first support plate 211 is 85°, and for another example, the angle between the first fixed plate 214 and the first support plate 211 is 92°. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application is not limited here. In addition, the angle between the second fixed plate 215 and the second support plate 212 can be 90°, that is, the second fixed plate 215 is perpendicular to the second support plate 212. Of course, the angle between the second fixed plate 215 and the second support plate 212 can also be other values, for example, the angle between the second fixed plate 215 and the second support plate 212 is 85°, and for another example, the angle between the second fixed plate 215 and the second support plate 212 is 92°. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0054] In addition, by providing the first fixing plate 214 and the second fixing plate 215 , the first fixing plate 214 , the first support plate 211 , the back plate 213 , the second support plate 212 and the second fixing plate 215 can form a “J”-shaped structure, so that the strength of the support body 21 is higher.

[0055] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first support plate 211 has a first end close to the bottom of the shelf body 10 and a second end away from the bottom of the shelf body 10, the first end of the first fixed plate 214 is offset from the first end of the first support plate 211 in the height direction Z of the shelf, and the first end of the first support plate 211 is close to the bottom of the shelf body 10, and the first end of the first fixed plate 214 is away from the bottom of the shelf body 10; the second support plate 212 has a first end close to the bottom of the shelf body 10 and a second end away from the bottom of the shelf body 10, the first end of the second fixed plate 215 is offset from the first end of the second support plate 212 in the height direction Z of the shelf, and the first end of the second support plate 212 is close to the bottom of the shelf body 10, and the first end of the second fixed plate 215 is away from the bottom of the shelf body 10.

[0056] Through such a setting, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 are not connected to the first fixed plate 214 and the second fixed plate 215 at the bottom of the shelf body 10, which is equivalent to the first fixed plate 214 and the second fixed plate 215 being missing at the bottom of the shelf body 10 to form a structure similar to a gap, thereby ensuring that when the transfer robot 100 needs to climb along the climbing structure 20, the first fixed plate 214 and the second fixed plate 215 can avoid the transfer robot 100, so that the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can be easily engaged with the roller 22 in the support body 21, so that the transfer robot 100 climbs along the shelf body 10. That is, by setting up, the first end of the first support plate 211 is close to the bottom of the shelf body 10, the first end of the first fixed plate 214 is away from the bottom of the shelf body 10, the first end of the second support plate 212 is close to the bottom of the shelf body 10, and the first end of the second fixed plate 215 is away from the bottom of the shelf body 10, the first fixed plate 214 and the second fixed plate 215 can avoid the transfer robot 100, and ensure that the transfer robot 100 effectively engages with the roller 22 close to the bottom of the shelf body 10.

[0057] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the shelf can also include a guide member 30; the guide member 30 is fixed to the shelf body 10, and the guide member 30 is close to the first end of the first support plate 211, and a guide groove 301 is provided on the guide member 30, and the opening of the guide groove 301 is away from the shelf body 10, and the guide groove 301 is connected with the climbing groove 210 along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the size of the opening of the guide groove 301 is smaller than the size of the opening of the climbing groove 210.

[0058] Since the guide groove 301 is connected with the climbing groove 210 along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, the size of the opening of the guide groove 301 is smaller than the size of the opening of the climbing groove 210. Therefore, when the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 needs to engage with the roller 22, the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can first extend into the guide groove 301 through the opening of the guide groove 301, and the opening of the guide groove 301 can guide the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100, and when the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 enters the guide groove 301, the opening of the guide groove 301 can also adjust the position of the transport gear to ensure that the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 is in a more appropriate position after entering the guide groove 301, and then after the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 rotates, it can engage with the roller 22 in the climbing groove 210, and the transfer gear 110 can climb along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10. That is, by setting a guide member 30 and setting a guide groove 301 on the guide member 30, the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can be guided and the position can be adjusted before the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 engages with the roller 22, ensuring that the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can accurately engage with the roller 22, thereby facilitating the transfer robot 100 to climb along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10.

[0059] It should be noted that a connecting hole may be provided on the guide member 30, and the guide member 30 may be fixed to the shelf body 10 by screws or pins. Of course, the guide member 30 may also be welded to the shelf body 10 by welding. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the guide member 30 is fixed to the shelf body 10.

[0060] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the shelf can also include multiple shock-absorbing members 40; there is a gap between the supporting body 21 and the shelf body 10, and the multiple shock-absorbing members 40 are all located in the gap, and the multiple shock-absorbing members 40 are distributed at intervals along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the shock-absorbing members 40 are respectively connected to the supporting body 21 and the shelf body 10.

[0061] After the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 is meshed with the roller 22, the transfer robot 100 will vibrate during the process of climbing along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, thereby causing the support body 21 to vibrate, affecting the stability of the shelf body 10. In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of shock absorbers 40 are provided in the gap between the support body 21 and the shelf body 10, so that once the support body 21 vibrates, the plurality of shock absorbers 40 can absorb part of the vibration, so that the vibration transmitted from the support body 21 to the shelf body 10 is less, which is conducive to improving the stability of the shelf body 10. That is, by providing the shock absorbers 40, the vibration of the transfer robot 100 can be effectively reduced to the shelf body 10, thereby improving the stability of the shelf body 10.

[0062] It should be noted that when the support body 21 includes the back plate 213 , the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 212 , there is a gap between the back plate 213 and the shelf body 10 , and the plurality of shock absorbing members 40 are located between the back plate 213 and the shelf body 10 .

[0063] In addition, in some embodiments, the shock absorbing member 40 may be at least one of a rubber shock absorbing member and a silicone shock absorbing member. The shock absorbing member 40 may be a rubber shock absorbing member, or the shock absorbing member 40 may be a silicone shock absorbing member.

[0064] It should be noted that both rubber shock absorbers and silicone shock absorbers have good shock absorbing effects, are low in cost, and are easy to obtain, thereby reducing the cost of the shelf.

[0065] Additionally, in some embodiments, the hardness of the shock absorbing member 40 may be greater than 45 shoreA.

[0066] By setting the hardness of the shock absorber 40 to be greater than 45 shoreA, it can be effectively ensured that the hardness of the shock absorber 40 is sufficient to support the supporting body 21, and the shock absorber 40 is not easily damaged, so that the shock absorber 40 has good supporting performance while reducing noise, and the service life of the shock absorber 40 can be increased.

[0067] It should be noted that the hardness of the shock absorber 40 can be any value greater than 45 shore A. For example, the hardness of the shock absorber 40 can be 50 shore A. For another example, the hardness of the shock absorber 40 can be 55 shore A. The specific value of the hardness of the shock absorber 40 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The hardness of the shock absorber 40 is greater than 45 shore A, which means that the hardness of the rubber shock absorber is greater than 45 shore A.

[0068] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the shelf body 10 may include a plurality of columns 11 and a shelf board 12; the plurality of columns 11 are distributed at intervals, and the plurality of columns 11 enclose a storage space, the shelf board 12 is located in the storage space, and the shelf board 12 is connected to the columns 11, the support body 21 is fixed to the columns 11, and the support body 21 is located outside the storage space.

[0069] Since the plurality of columns 11 are distributed at intervals, when forming a shelf, the plurality of columns 11 can be enclosed to form a storage space, and the shelf board 12 can be set in the storage space. In addition, the shelf board 12 is connected to the column 11, so that the column 11 can support the shelf board 12, so that the shelf board 12 can still effectively carry goods when carrying goods. In addition, the support body 21 can be fixed to the column 11, and the support body 21 is located outside the storage space, so that when the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 is engaged with the roller 22 on the support body 21, the transfer robot 100 is located outside the storage space, and the column 11 will not block the transfer robot 100 from climbing.

[0070] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the shelf may further include a crossbeam, which is located at the top of the plurality of columns 11, and the tops of the plurality of columns 11 are all connected to the crossbeam, so that the stability of the shelf is improved.

[0071] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the shelf may further include a plurality of reinforcing members 50 ; a plurality of reinforcing members 50 are disposed between at least two adjacent columns 11 , and opposite ends of the reinforcing members 50 are respectively connected to the columns 11 .

[0072] Since the opposite ends of the reinforcement member 50 are respectively connected to the columns 11, at least two adjacent columns 11 are connected by the reinforcement member 50, thereby improving the stability of the shelf. That is, by providing the reinforcement member 50, the stability of the shelf can be effectively improved.

[0073] It should be noted that the reinforcement member 50 can be arranged at an angle, and multiple reinforcement members 50 can be arranged between two adjacent columns 11, so as to effectively improve the stability of the shelf.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, since the support body 21 is fixed to the shelf body 10, the shelf body 10 is equivalent to fixing the support body 21, so that the position of the support body 21 is fixed and not easy to shake. Since the support body 21 extends along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, a climbing groove 210 is provided on the support body 21, and multiple rollers 22 are spaced apart along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the rollers 22 can rotate relative to the climbing groove 210. Therefore, when the transfer robot 100 is needed to transport goods to the shelf body 10, the transfer robot 100 can climb along the climbing structure 20, that is, the gear teeth on the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 are embedded in the gap between two adjacent rollers 22, which is equivalent to the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 being engaged with the rollers 22. When the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 rotates, the transfer gear 110 moves along the height direction Z of the shelf body 10, and the gear teeth of the transfer gear 110 will contact the rollers 22. The rollers 22 support the transfer gear 110, thereby ensuring the rotation of the transfer gear 110, and further ensuring that the transfer gear 110 can effectively climb. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by fixing the support body 21 on the shelf body 10, and distributing a plurality of rollers 22 at intervals in the climbing groove 210 on the support body 21, the transfer gear 110 of the transfer robot 100 can be meshed with the plurality of rollers 22. After the gear teeth of the transfer gear 110 are embedded in the gaps between the rollers 22, the rollers 22 can support the transfer gear 110, thereby ensuring that the transfer gear 110 can effectively climb, thereby improving the efficiency of the transfer robot 100 in climbing along the climbing structure 20.

[0075] The present application embodiment provides a storage system, such as Figure 6 As shown, the warehousing system includes a transfer robot 100 and the shelf in any of the above embodiments; the transfer robot 100 has a transfer gear 110, which is used to engage with multiple rollers 22 to climb or descend along the distribution direction of the multiple rollers 22 to transfer goods to the shelf.
