[0052] The realization, functional features and advantages of the purpose of the present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0053] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , the present utility model provides an expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100, including a storage module 110, an input module 120, an output module 130, an expansion module 140 and a stacking module 150. The storage module 110 is suitable for storing materials. The input module 120 is installed on one side of the storage module 110 and is configured to be able to clamp materials and move relative to the storage module 110 so that the materials can be stored. The output module 130 is installed on one side of the storage module 110 and is configured to be able to clamp materials and move relative to the storage module 110 so that the materials can be taken out. The expansion module 140 is detachably connected to the storage module 110. The expansion module 140 has a first position and a second position. When the expansion module 140 is in the first position, the expansion module 140 is connected to the storage module 110. When the expansion module 140 is in the second position, the expansion module 140 is separated from the storage module 110. The stacking module 150 includes a stacking track 151 and a stacking mechanism 152. When the expansion module 140 is in the first position, the stacking track 151 connects the input module 120, the output module 130, the storage module 110 and the expansion module 140. The stacking mechanism 152 is installed on the stacking track 151 and is configured to be able to move relative to the storage module 110 and the expansion module 140 so as to transfer the materials clamped by the input module 120 to the storage module 110 or the expansion module 140. The design of the expansion module 140 enables the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100 to not only have a high storage density, but also be able to conveniently expand or reduce the storage bins of the device through the expansion module 140 to meet the changes in different storage requirements, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100. The combination of the input module 120 and the output module 130 with the setting of the stacking module 150 makes the process of material access more efficient and fast, effectively improving the working efficiency of the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the input module 120 and the output module 130 are disposed on opposite sides of the storage module 110, thereby simplifying the path of material in and out, reducing the overall floor area of the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100, and also facilitating the fast and efficient access and storage of materials. It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the clamping mechanisms of the input module 120 and the output module 130 can adopt pneumatic grippers, which can flexibly adjust the clamping force according to the size and weight of different materials to ensure the safety and stability of the materials during handling. In addition, the clamping mechanisms are also configured with sensors that can detect the status of the materials in real time to prevent material damage caused by improper clamping. In addition, the input module 120 and the output module 130 are configured to be dockable with the stacking module 150, so that the stacking module 150 can transfer the materials clamped by the input module 120 or the output module 130. Specifically, in some embodiments, the stacking track 151 can adopt a slide rail structure, and the stacking mechanism 152 can move smoothly on the slide rail to efficiently transfer the materials from the input module 120 to the storage module 110 or the expansion module 140, or take out the materials from the storage module 110 or the expansion module 140 to the output module 130. The slide rail structure of the stacking track 151 is simple and reliable, easy to maintain, and can ensure that the stacking mechanism 152 moves smoothly during operation, reducing the wear of the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100 and extending its service life.

[0056] For the convenience of material retrieval or storage, please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the expansion module 140 is located between the input module 120 and the output module 130. It should be noted that when the expansion module 140 is in the first position, the expansion module 140 is connected to the storage module 110 to form an automated storage and retrieval module, and the input module 120 and the output module 130 are respectively located on opposite sides of the automated storage and retrieval module. This arrangement is conducive to making full use of the space of the storage module 110, enabling the expansion module 140 to maximize the storage capacity in the connected state. It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the connection between the expansion module 140 and the storage module 110 adopts quick connectors, such as quick-lock structures, making the installation and disassembly of the expansion module 140 more convenient and shortening the expansion and adjustment time of the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100. The quick-lock structure is not only firmly connected but also easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the stacking track 151 includes a first track 1511 installed on the storage module 110 and a second track 1512 installed on the expansion module 140. When the expansion module 140 is spliced ​​to the storage module 110, the first track 1511 is spliced ​​with the second track 1512. This track splicing method allows the stacking mechanism 152 to move freely between the storage module 110 and the expansion module 140, thereby achieving effective transfer of materials. In some embodiments, a guide mechanism is designed at the joint of the first track 1511 and the second track 1512 to ensure that the stacking mechanism 152 transitions smoothly at the track joint, thereby avoiding the stacking mechanism 152 from getting stuck or deviating due to uneven track joint. The guide mechanism can effectively reduce the friction resistance at the track joint, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the stacking mechanism 152.

[0058] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first track 1511 includes a first track 15111 and a second track 15112. The end of the first track 15111 close to the second track 1512 has a first inclined surface 15113, and the end of the second track 15112 close to the second track 1512 has a second inclined surface 15114. The second track 1512 includes a third track 15121 and a fourth track 15122. The end of the third track 15121 close to the first track 1511 has a third inclined surface 15123, and the end of the fourth track 15122 close to the first track 1511 has a fourth inclined surface 15124. When the first track 1511 is spliced ​​to the second track 1512, the first inclined surface 15113 is in contact with the third inclined surface 15123, and the second inclined surface 15114 is in contact with the fourth inclined surface 15124. This inclined plane splicing structure is conducive to ensuring the smoothness of the track joint, reducing the shaking and noise during the operation of the stacking mechanism 152, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the equipment. The inclination angle range of the first inclined plane 15113, the second inclined plane 15114, the third inclined plane 15123 and the fourth inclined plane 15124 is any value between 0 and 90 degrees. For example, the angle between the first inclined plane 15113 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees, then the angle between the second inclined plane 15114 and the horizontal plane, the angle between the third inclined plane 15123 and the horizontal plane, and the angle between the fourth inclined plane 15124 and the horizontal plane are all 45 degrees. In some embodiments, the inclined plane in the inclined plane splicing structure is designed with anti-skid patterns to increase the friction between the contact surfaces of the tracks, further improving the stability and reliability of the track joints. The anti-skid patterns can effectively avoid relative sliding caused by vibration and other reasons at the track joints, and ensure the stability of the stacking mechanism 152 during operation.

[0059] It should be noted that the stacking track 151 further includes a third track installed on the input module 120 and a fourth track installed on the output module 130. When the expansion module 140 is connected to the storage module 110, the third track can be spliced with the first track 1511 or the second track 1512, so that the expansion module 140 can be spliced between the storage module 110 and the input module 120, or the storage module 110 is located between the expansion module 140 and the input module 120. Thus, the stacking mechanism 152 can move to the input module 120 through the third track so that materials can be stored in the storage module 110 and the expansion module 140. Among them, the fourth track can be spliced with the second track 1512 or the first track 1511, so that the output module 130 can be spliced with the expansion module 140 or the storage module 110, that is, the expansion module 140 can be spliced between the storage module 110 and the output module 130, or the storage module 110 is located between the expansion module 140 and the output module 130. Thus, the stacking mechanism 152 can move to the output module 130 through the fourth track so that materials can be taken out from the expansion module 140 and the storage module 110.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 , the stacking track 151 further includes a first transmission member 1513 and a fastening member 1515. The first transmission member 1513 includes a first rack 15131 provided on the storage module 110 and a second rack 15132 provided on the expansion module 140. One end of the first rack 15131 close to the expansion module 140 has a first installation groove 15133, and one end of the second rack 15132 close to the storage module 110 has a second installation groove 15134. When the expansion module 140 is spliced with the storage module 110, the fastening member 1515 is configured to be able to be fastened to the first installation groove 15133 and the second installation groove 15134. This fastening structure can realize the quick and reliable connection between the storage module 110 and the expansion module 140, facilitating the expansion or disassembly of the expandable automated storage and retrieval system 100. In some embodiments, the first transmission member 1513 can adopt a rack structure. In addition, the fastening member 1515 is also designed with a locking mechanism, which can be automatically locked after being fastened in place, avoiding accidental loosening of the fastening member 1515 during the operation of the equipment and improving safety. In some embodiments, when the expansion module 140 is spliced with the storage module 110, the first installation groove 15133 can communicate with the second installation groove 15134, thereby jointly defining a receiving cavity, and the fastening member 1515 can be received in this receiving cavity. In this way, the fastening member 1515 does not protrude from the first transmission member 1513, making the overall structure of the stacking track 151 more flat.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the stacking mechanism 152 is provided with a second transmission member 1514. The second transmission member 1514 is connected to the first transmission member 1513 and is configured to be able to move relative to the first transmission member 1513, so as to realize the movement of the stacking mechanism 152 between the storage module 110 and the expansion module 140, and improve the material handling efficiency. In some embodiments, the second transmission member 1514 may adopt a gear structure. In other embodiments, the second transmission member 1514 is driven by a servo motor, which has high positioning accuracy and response speed and can achieve precise control of the stacking mechanism 152. In addition, the motor is also equipped with an encoder, which can monitor the position and speed of the stacking mechanism 152 in real time to ensure the stability and accuracy during the material handling process. To improve the load-bearing capacity of the stacking mechanism 152 for materials and reduce the risk of damage to the stacking track 151, in some embodiments, the stacking mechanism 152 includes casters. The casters can provide effective support for the stacking mechanism 152 and facilitate the movement of the stacking mechanism 152, and the stacking track 151 can provide a guiding function for the movement of the stacking mechanism 152. It should be noted that the first transmission member 1513 further includes a third rack disposed on the input module 120 and a fourth rack disposed on the output module 130. The third rack is configured to be able to be spliced with the first rack 15131 or the second rack 15132, and the fourth rack is configured to be able to be spliced with the second rack 15132 or the first rack 15131. Thus, the second transmission member 1514 can move between the first rack 15131, the second rack 15132, the third rack and the fourth rack, so as to drive the stacking mechanism 152 to move along the stacking track 151.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the input module 120 includes a material transfer mechanism 123. The material transfer mechanism 123 includes a base 121 and a material picking device 122 installed on one side of the base 121. The base 121 is used to place the transport trolley 1231. It can be understood that the transport trolley 1231 is used to place materials, such as placing trays and the like. The material picking device 122 is configured to be able to move relative to the base 121 in the vertical direction, and the material picking device 122 is suitable for lifting materials. This design is conducive to realizing the automatic picking and placing of materials and improving work efficiency. In some embodiments, the material picking device 122 is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, which has high load-bearing capacity and stability and can adapt to materials of different weights. In addition, the material picking device 122 is also equipped with sensors, which can detect the position and state of the materials to ensure the safety of the materials during the lifting process. In other embodiments, the material picking device 122 includes a material picking claw and a driving element for driving the material picking claw to move. The driving element can adopt a lead screw. The material picking claw is connected to the driving element, and the driving element is configured to be able to drive the material picking claw to move along the extension direction of the lead screw so that the material picking claw can lift the material from the transport trolley 1231.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 7 , the material transfer mechanism 123 further includes a transport trolley 1231. The transport trolley 1231 includes a bearing plate 12311 and a material threading portion 12312 provided on the bearing plate 12311. The material threading portion 12312 is used for threading materials. Please refer to Figure 9 , the material transfer mechanism 123 includes a limiting component 1232. The limiting component 1232 is installed on the base 121 and is configured to be able to limit the transport trolley 1231 placed on the base 121. In some embodiments, the limiting component 1232 includes a mounting seat 12321, a pressing block 12322, and a driving cylinder 12323. The driving cylinder 12323 is installed on the mounting seat 12321. The pressing block 12322 is connected to the output end of the driving cylinder 12323 and is configured to be able to move relative to the mounting seat 12321 along with the driving cylinder 12323. The mounting seat 12321 is installed on the base 121. When the transport trolley 1231 is placed on the base 121, the driving cylinder 12323 can drive the pressing block 12322 to move in the direction close to the transport trolley 1231 until the pressing block 12322 abuts against the transport trolley 1231 (bearing plate 12311). In some embodiments, the moving direction of the pressing block 12322 along with the driving cylinder 12323 is perpendicular to the direction in which the transport trolley 1231 is placed on the base 121.

[0064] It should be noted that the input module 120 further includes a first loading position and a first transfer mechanism. The first transfer mechanism can move between the material transfer mechanism 123 and the first loading position. It can be understood that when the material taking device 122 of the material transfer mechanism 123 jacks up the materials on the transport trolley 1231, the first transfer mechanism can move to the material transfer mechanism 123 to clamp and transport the materials to the first loading position. In this way, the stacking mechanism 152 can clamp and transport the materials located at the first loading position to the next station, such as transporting them to the storage module 110 or the expansion module 140. In some embodiments, the output module 130 includes a second transfer mechanism. The stacking mechanism 152 can clamp the materials and transport them to the second transfer mechanism, so as to transport the materials out through the second transfer mechanism.

[0065] Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9, in some embodiments, the base 121 is provided with a substrate 1211 and a connecting roller 1212 mounted on the substrate 1211. The connecting roller 1212 is configured to be able to roll relative to the substrate 1211. One end of the substrate 1211 along the extending direction of the connecting roller 1212 is provided with an elastic pressing plate 1213, and the elastic pressing plate 1213 is configured to be able to define the position of the transport trolley 1231 placed on the connecting roller 1212. This design is beneficial to fixing the transport trolley 1231 and ensuring the stability of the material during handling. The elasticity of the elastic pressing plate 1213 can effectively prevent the transport trolley 1231 from being worn due to the influence of the substrate 1211. It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the elastic pressing plate 1213 is made of an elastic material and has certain elasticity and rigidity, and can adapt to materials of different sizes. In addition, the elastic pressing plate 1213 is also configured with a position sensor, which can monitor the position change of the material in real time to ensure the stability of the material during handling.

[0066] Referring to Figure 9 , in some embodiments, one end of the base 121 away from the material taking device 122 has a feeding port 1214. Elastic pressing plates 1213 are provided at both ends of the substrate 1211 along the extending direction of the connecting roller 1212, and one end of the elastic pressing plate 1213 close to the feeding port 1214 is inclined to facilitate the smooth introduction of the transport trolley 1231 and improve the material handling efficiency. In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the elastic pressing plate 1213 can be adjusted according to the different sizes and weights of the materials to ensure that the transport trolley 1231 can be smoothly guided to the correct position when entering the base 121. In addition, the elastic pressing plate 1213 is also configured with a pressure sensor, which can detect the pressure of the material to ensure the safety of the material when it is introduced into the base 121.

[0067] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) involved in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0068] In addition, if the embodiments of the present utility model involve descriptions such as "first" and "second", the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, if "and / or", "and / or" or "and / or" appear throughout the text, their meaning includes three parallel scenarios.
