[0030] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only intended to provide a better understanding of the present application by showing examples of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non - exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0032] The storage cage is a very important type of logistics container in warehousing and transportation. It has the advantages of a fixed capacity for storing items, neat stacking, clear visibility for storage, and convenience for inventory counting. At the same time, it also improves the effective utilization rate of the warehousing space.

[0033] With the rapid development of modern industry, the logistics volume has increased significantly. In order to realize the modern management of warehouses and improve the functions of warehouses, not only a large number of shelves are required, but also multifunctional shelves are required to achieve mechanization and automation requirements. Although there are many types of traditional shelves, they can only be used to stack goods and cannot help with shipment. Automated warehouse conveying systems, such as self-gravity shelves, adopt an inclined track design, which can use the gravity of the goods to achieve automatic shifting and help shipment operations, so they are widely used.

[0034] However, in order to facilitate the movement of the storage cage, a plurality of cage feet are often provided at the bottom of the storage cage. Although the difficulty of movement is reduced, the provision of the cage feet is not conducive to the storage cage being transported by automated warehouse conveying systems such as rollers, chains, and chain plates.

[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a storage cage that is easy to move and can be transported by an automated warehouse conveying system such as rollers, chains, and chain plates. Figures 1 to 3 The storage cage is described in detail according to the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a storage cage, including a cage body 1, a moving component 2 and a bracket 3. The cage body 1 has a bottom wall 11 and a side wall 12, and the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12 enclose a storage cavity. A plurality of moving components 2 are arranged on a side of the bottom wall 11 away from the storage cavity in a first direction X. The bracket 3 is arranged on a side of the bottom wall 11 away from the storage cavity in the first direction and is spaced apart from the moving component 2. The bracket 3 extends along a second direction Y. The bracket 3 has a supporting surface 31 on a side of the first direction X away from the storage cavity. Along the first direction X, the height of the bracket 3 protruding from the bottom wall 11 is less than or equal to the height of the moving component 2 protruding from the bottom wall 11. The first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.

[0037] The angle θ between the first direction X and the second direction Y may be 80°-100°, and may be 90°. The first direction X and the second direction Y may be perpendicular to each other.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cage body 1 has a bottom wall 11 and side walls 12, wherein the number of side walls 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of side walls 12 can be set to four, and of course can also be set to less or more, as long as they can be enclosed together with the bottom wall 11 to form a storage cavity.

[0039] See also Figure 1The number of mobile components 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of mobile components 2 can be set to four, and of course it can also be set to less or more.

[0040] Exemplarily, the moving assembly 2 includes supporting legs 21 and universal wheels 22, and such an arrangement makes the storage cage more convenient to move.

[0041] The bracket 3 may be a plate-shaped structure or a polygonal tubular structure with a support surface 31. The number of the bracket 3 may be one or more. When there are more than one bracket 3, the brackets may be arranged successively or at intervals.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 In summary, a storage cage provided according to an embodiment of the present application includes a cage body 1, a moving component 2 and a bracket 3. The cage body 1 has a bottom wall 11 and a side wall 12, and the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12 enclose a storage cavity, and the storage cavity is used to place items to be stored to realize the storage function. The bottom wall 11 is provided with a plurality of moving components 2 on the side away from the storage cavity in the first direction X, and the storage cage realizes the mobile function through the plurality of moving components 2. The bracket 3 has a support surface 31 on the side away from the storage cavity in the first direction X. Along the first direction X, the height of the bracket 3 protruding from the bottom wall 11 is less than or equal to the height of the moving component 2 protruding from the bottom wall 11. The storage cage can make surface contact with the automated warehouse conveying system such as rollers, chains, and chain plates through the first support surface 31 to ensure the conveying requirements. Therefore, the storage cage is not only easy to move, but also can be conveyed by the automated warehouse conveying system such as rollers, chains, and chain plates.

[0043] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bracket 3 also includes a connecting surface 32, and the supporting surface 31 is connected to the connecting surface 32 at at least one end of the second direction Y. The connecting surface 32 is arranged to intersect with the supporting surface 31, and the angle θ between the connecting surface 32 and the supporting surface 31 satisfies: 90°<θ<180°.

[0044] The angle θ between the connecting surface 32 and the supporting surface 31 satisfies: 90°<θ<180°. It can be understood that the angle θ between the connecting surface 32 and the supporting surface 31 can be any value between 90° and 180°. The angle θ between the connecting surface 32 and the supporting surface 31 can be selected as 150°~175°. Exemplarily, the angle θ can be 171°, 172°, 173°, etc.

[0045] In self-gravity racks, in order to limit the speed of goods sliding down and ensure smooth and safe transportation of goods, damping rollers are often added to the conveying device. In order to make the damping roller play a better role, the damping roller will stand out from other roller settings.

[0046] For the storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, by setting the included angle θ between the connecting surface 32 and the supporting surface 31 to satisfy: 90° < θ < 180°, it is avoided that when the storage cage is conveyed on the automated warehouse conveying system, since a damping roller is provided, the bracket 3 collides with the damping roller, and the storage cage is conveyed more smoothly on the automated warehouse conveying system.

[0047] In some embodiments, connecting surfaces 32 are connected to both ends of the supporting surface 31 in the second direction Y. With such a setting, the storage cage can be smoothly transported when placed on the automated warehouse conveying system at both ends along the second direction Y.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, a plurality of brackets 3 are provided, and the plurality of brackets 3 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, and the third direction Z, the second direction Y, and the first direction X intersect with each other.

[0049] The included angle θ between any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be selected to be between 80° - 100°, and can be selected to be 90°, and the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be selected to be perpendicular to each other.

[0050] The number of brackets 3 provided can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of brackets 3 can be set to two, and of course, it can also be set to three or more.

[0051] For the storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, by providing a plurality of brackets 3 arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, the storage cage is more stable when being conveyed on the automated warehouse conveying system.

[0052] In some embodiments, the central connection lines of the orthographic projections of the plurality of moving components 2 in the first direction X form a polygon, and the orthographic projection of each bracket 3 is at least partially located within the polygon range.

[0053] For the storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, by arranging the bracket 3 within the polygon range of the central connection lines of the orthographic projections of the plurality of moving components 2 in the first direction X, the storage cage can be suitable for most automated warehouse conveying systems. When the bracket 3 cooperates with the automated warehouse conveying system, the moving component 2 can avoid the automated warehouse conveying system and avoid interference with the automated warehouse conveying system, increasing the applicable range of the storage cage.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, along the second direction Y, the extension length of the bracket 3 is equal to the extension length of the bottom wall 11.

[0055] A storage cage provided in one embodiment of the present application can increase the smoothness of transportation of the storage cage on an automated warehouse conveying system by setting the extension length of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y to be equal to the extension length of the bottom wall 11 along the second direction Y.

[0056] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the bracket 3 is a tubular structure, and the cross-sectional shape of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y is a rectangle.

[0057] It can be understood that the rectangular cross-sectional shape of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y is only an optional implementation. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y can also be a trapezoid or other shapes, as long as the bracket 3 has a support surface 31 on the side away from the storage cavity in the first direction X.

[0058] In a storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y is rectangular, which facilitates the production and processing of the bracket 3.

[0059] In some embodiments, the storage cage further includes a blocking piece, the bracket 3 is a hollow structure, at least one end of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y is provided with an opening, and the blocking piece is placed in the opening.

[0060] The storage cage provided in one embodiment of the present application can reduce the weight of the bracket 3 by setting the bracket 3 as a hollow structure, thereby reducing the weight of the storage cage as a whole and facilitating the transportation of the storage cage.

[0061] The storage cage provided in one embodiment of the present application can prevent dust from entering the interior of the bracket 3 by arranging a blocking member in the opening, thereby extending the service life of the bracket 3. The blocking member can be a thin steel plate, which can be placed in the opening by welding.

[0062] Exemplarily, both ends of the bracket 3 along the second direction Y are provided with openings, and such a configuration can further reduce the weight of the bracket 3, thereby reducing the overall weight of the storage cage, and facilitating the transportation of the storage cage.

[0063] It can be understood that the bracket 3 being a hollow structure is only an optional implementation. Of course, in other embodiments, the bracket 3 may also be a solid structure.

[0064] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the storage cage further includes a fixing member 4, which is disposed on and connected to the bottom wall 11, and the fixing member 4 and the bottom wall 11 are surrounded to form a forklift slot.

[0065] For the storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, by providing the fixing member 4 on the bottom wall 11, a forklift slot is formed by enclosing the fixing member 4 and the bottom wall 11, enabling the storage cage to be placed in the shelf by a forklift through the forklift slot, and improving the practicability of the storage cage.

[0066] In some embodiments, both the fixing member 4 and the bracket 3 are provided in pairs, and each fixing member 4 is located between the brackets 3 provided in pairs. Along the first direction X, the height by which the fixing member 4 protrudes from the bottom wall 11 is less than or equal to the height by which the bracket 3 protrudes from the bottom wall 11.

[0067] Exemplarily, both the fixing member 4 and the bracket 3 are provided in pairs. The fixing member 4 can be provided as a pair, and of course, it can also be provided as more pairs. Similarly, the bracket 3 can be provided as a pair, and of course, it can also be provided as more pairs.

[0068] For the storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, by setting the height by which the fixing member 4 protrudes from the bottom wall 11 along the first direction X to be less than or equal to the height by which the bracket 3 protrudes from the bottom wall 11 along the first direction X, it is possible to avoid interference between the fixing member 4 and structures such as rollers when the storage cage is conveyed on the automated warehouse conveying system, making the conveyance of the storage cage on the automated warehouse conveying system smoother.

[0069] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12 are respectively in a hollow frame structure, and the bracket 3 is welded to the bottom wall 11.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , for the storage cage provided by an embodiment of the present application, the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12 are respectively in a hollow frame structure, reducing the weight of the cage body 1 and further reducing the overall weight of the storage cage, facilitating the transportation of the storage cage.
