[0051] In order to make the above and other features and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments given herein are for the purpose of explaining to those skilled in the art and are merely exemplary, not restrictive.

[0052] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , according to an embodiment of the present utility model, a vertical storage stacker is provided. The vertical storage stacker includes an overhead rail 1, a column 2, a ground rail mounting plate 3, and a floating mechanism 4 installed between the overhead rail of the vertical storage stacker and the column of the vertical storage stacker (the floating mechanism 4 will be elaborated in detail below).

[0053] The overhead rail 1 is fixed on the profile skeleton at the top of the vertical storage. The column 2 is fixed to the ground rail mounting plate 3, and the ground rail mounting plate 3 is installed on the ground rail (not shown in the figure of the ground rail). A motor (not shown in the figure) is installed on the ground rail mounting plate 3, and the column 2 is driven by the motor to move in the vertical storage along the conveying direction ( Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 the direction indicated by the arrow a in).

[0055] A forklift (not shown in the figure) is installed on the column 2. When the column 2 moves along the conveying direction inside the vertical warehouse ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 in the direction indicated by arrow a in), the forklift drives products (such as various semi-finished products and raw materials of microwave components) to be transported and stored inside the vertical warehouse.

[0056] In the prior art, a slider is fixed at the top of the column 2 of the vertical warehouse stacker, and the slider is in sliding contact with the overhead rail 1. When the column 2 moves along the conveying direction inside the vertical warehouse ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 in the direction indicated by arrow a in), the slider and the overhead rail 1 undergo relative sliding. During the relative sliding between the slider and the overhead rail 1, there will be a situation where the column 2 runs out of sync with the overhead rail 1 and the ground rail.

In this embodiment, there are two height floating wheel mounting plates 410, which are respectively fixed on both sides of the height floating wheel adjusting plate 411 along the width direction.

[0076] The height floating component further includes a height limit plate 412 that is located below the height floating wheel adjusting plate 411 in the height direction and is fixed to the balance substrate 408. A height floating spring 413 is provided between the height limit plate 412 and the height floating wheel adjusting plate 411.

[0077] In one embodiment, an opening is provided below the height floating wheel adjusting plate 411, and the height floating spring 413 is inserted into the opening of the height floating wheel adjusting plate 411, so that the height floating spring 413 is installed between the height limit plate 412 and the height floating wheel adjusting plate 411.

[0078] Combined Figure 8 and Figure 9 According to an embodiment of the utility model, the column 2 of the automated storage and retrieval machine is fixedly connected to the floating mechanism 4. Specifically, the support base 401 of the floating mechanism 4 is fixed to the top of the column 2, thereby fixedly connecting the column 2 of the automated storage and retrieval machine to the floating mechanism 4.

[0079] The overhead rail 1 of the automated storage and retrieval machine is placed between the horizontal floating wheels of the two sets of horizontal floating components, that is, the overhead rail 1 is placed between the left horizontal floating wheel 405 and the right horizontal floating wheel 405'. The horizontal floating wheels (the left horizontal floating wheel 405 and the right horizontal floating wheel 405') of the two sets of horizontal floating components reciprocate freely in the width direction to adjust the horizontal floating of the column 2 of the automated storage and retrieval machine.

[0080] When the column 2 moves in the conveying direction in the automated storage ( Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 the direction indicated by the arrow a in), and the column 2 floats to the right (as shown by the arrow b in Figure 9 ), the overhead rail 1 presses against the left horizontal floating wheel 405, and the left floating wheel 405 drives the left horizontal floating wheel mounting plate 404 and the slider of the left slide rail slider component 403 to move to the left relative to the slide rail of the left slide rail slider component 403, and presses against the left floating spring 407 between the left limit plate 406 and the left horizontal floating wheel mounting plate 404.
