[0003] Warehouses for storing goods are a crucial link in the manufacturing industry's production logistics chain. Whether traditional or modern, warehouses primarily utilize shelves for placing goods, with aisles between shelves for loading and unloading goods. In traditional warehouses, loading, unloading, and moving goods are primarily accomplished manually or with manual-assisted handling equipment, such as forklifts. In some small automated warehouses, automated equipment is used to automate and reduce the need for human intervention, compared to traditional warehouses. However, research on automated warehouses for large angle steel materials is limited or nonexistent.

[0004] Existing warehouses primarily rely on forklifts or manual handling of overhead cranes to unload goods from transport vehicles, such as trucks and vans, onto loading platforms. These procedures include registering and sorting the goods, and then forklifts and other equipment transport the goods to designated storage areas within the warehouse. During overhead crane operations, large steel materials hang suspended in mid-air and rotate at varying angles, creating an unstable and unsafe environment. Furthermore, when the overhead cranes are delivered to designated storage locations, they require manual positioning and stacking, which can easily lead to misalignment and a lack of stacking levels.

[0005] In addition, existing flat warehouses require a large area of land, have low space utilization, slow access speeds, and high labor costs; and raw material storage information is mostly registered manually, making it difficult to ensure data accuracy and timeliness, with a low degree of informatization and prone to errors; existing warehouses have little or no computer management, and the company's production management and production links are not close enough, and inventory control is often inaccurate.

[0025] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A parallel stepped three - dimensional warehouse, comprising

[0028] A stepped warehouse 1, the stepped warehouse 1 is composed of two stepped warehouses 1 with the same structure and arranged in mirror symmetry in parallel. There is an aisle for the operation passage between them. Each stepped warehouse 1 contains multiple storage locations, and multiple pallets 11 are arranged inside each storage location. The stepped warehouse 1 is divided into three layers and is arranged in a stepped shape. The stepped warehouse 1 further includes a driving mechanism 13 installed on the rack 12 for the horizontal or vertical movement of the pallet 11 on the rack 12;

[0029] A traveling - crane body 2, the traveling - crane body 2 is the main transfer equipment in the warehouse, and the traveling - crane body 2 can move flexibly in the warehouse through the traveling - crane track 3;

[0030] The traveling track 3 is suspended above the feeding roller table 4, providing stable support and an accurate moving path for the traveling body 2, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the traveling body 2 during the transfer process;

[0031] The feeding roller table 4 is arranged in a paired mirror image with the stepped storage bin 1 and is responsible for the transfer process of the angle steel materials into the stepped storage bin 1. The feeding roller table 4 is composed of electric roller tables and stable brackets, which can ensure that the angle steel materials smoothly enter the stepped storage bin 1. In this embodiment, there are five storage positions provided on the stepped storage bin 1, among which four storage positions can be used to store angle steel materials with a length of about 6 meters, and one storage position can store angle steel materials with a length of about 14 meters. The angle steel placed in each storage position can be stacked. The stacking height of the angle steel in one storage position is about 0.3 meters, greatly improving the space utilization rate, making the enterprise warehouse storage more orderly, and reducing the floor area.

[0032] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 2-3 , the driving mechanism 13, the traveling body 2, and the feeding roller table 4 are all electrically connected to the warehousing and logistics management system, which is responsible for receiving, processing, and executing the instructions of warehousing, outbound, and inventory management, and controlling each device in the warehouse to execute the instruction operations. In this embodiment, after receiving the warehousing or outbound instruction, the instruction includes information such as the type, quantity, and target location of the goods. The warehousing and logistics management system analyzes and processes the received instruction to determine the operation type (warehousing or outbound) and specific operation parameters to be executed. When performing the warehousing operation, the warehousing and logistics management system controls the feeding roller table to convey the angle steel to the specified position to prepare for the traveling crane to grab it, controls the traveling crane to move to the specified position, and the magnetic adsorption grabbing device on the traveling crane adsorbs the angle steel through electromagnetic force. After grabbing the angle steel, the traveling crane moves along the traveling track to the corresponding tray above the stepped storage bin under the drive of the servo motor. By precisely controlling the descending height and position, the magnetic adsorption grabbing device is seamlessly docked with the tray, and the electromagnetic force is released to place the angle steel smoothly on the tray. If it is an outbound operation, the warehousing and logistics management system controls the tray to move to the outbound position to prepare for the traveling crane to grab it.

[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the driving mechanism 13 includes a first servo motor, a chain, and a rotating shaft. The servo motor is electrically connected to the warehousing and logistics management system. In this embodiment, under the instruction of the warehousing and logistics management system, power is provided by the first servo motor, and through the transmission of the chain and the rotating shaft, the tray 11 is driven to perform horizontal or vertical movement on the rack 12, so as to achieve the precise positioning and rapid access of the angle steel materials.

[0034] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1, the traveling crane body 2 consists of a grasping device, a fuselage, a second servo motor, and a third servo motor. Both the second servo motor and the third servo motor are electrically connected to the warehousing and logistics management system. In this embodiment, the grasping device is controlled by the second servo motor to move up and down, and the grasping device is controlled by the third servo motor to translate, so as to achieve precise picking and placing of angle steel.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the grasping device provided in the traveling crane body 2 is a magnetic adsorption type. This magnetic adsorption type grasping device can firmly adsorb and grasp the angle steel material, realizing the non-destructive transfer of the angle steel in the warehouse. In this embodiment, the magnetic adsorption type grasping device adsorbs the angle steel material by magnetic force, avoiding the surface scratches or damages that may be caused by traditional mechanical clamping, ensuring the integrity of the angle steel material during the transfer process, and at the same time being able to quickly and accurately adsorb the angle steel and maintain a stable adsorption force during the transfer process, ensuring that the angle steel will not fall off or shake during the movement of the traveling crane, improving the transfer efficiency and safety.

[0036] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the warehousing and logistics management system has a high degree of integration ability and can be seamlessly integrated with the upper-level system to ensure interface compatibility, real-time intercommunication, and resource sharing. In this embodiment, through seamless integration, the warehousing and logistics management system can receive the instructions and data of the upper-level system in real time, quickly respond and execute various warehouse operations, reduce manual intervention and errors, and significantly improve the operation efficiency of the warehouse. Real-time intercommunication and resource sharing reduce the workload of data re-entry and manual verification, and reduce the labor cost.

[0037] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0038] In the present utility model, when the angle steel is put into storage, the angle steel is first guided to a preset position by the feeding roller path 4, and the traveling crane body 2 is made to move smoothly along the traveling crane track 3. Under the control of the third servo motor in the traveling crane body 2, the magnetic adsorption type grasping device is accurately aligned with the angle steel on the feeding track. Subsequently, the second servo motor provided in the traveling crane body 2 carries the angle steel and slowly raises it, and moves smoothly along the traveling crane track 3 to above the stepped storage 1. When the traveling crane body 2 reaches above the specified tray 11, the second servo motor is started again to accurately control the grasping device to descend to an appropriate height. Subsequently, the magnetic adsorption type grasping device releases the angle steel and places it smoothly at the predetermined position of the tray 11. At this time, the driving mechanism 13 in the stepped storage 1 is immediately started, and the first servo motor inside drives the rotating shaft to rotate through a chain, thereby driving the tray 11 to move horizontally to the optimal storage position, thus completing the entire storage process. The outbound process is opposite to the inbound process. When it is necessary to take out the angle steel, the driving mechanism 13 first drives the tray 11 out of the storage position to make the target angle steel in a position convenient for grasping. Then, the traveling crane body 2 moves along the traveling crane track 3 again to above the tray 11, and its magnetic adsorption type grasping device accurately adsorbs the angle steel. Subsequently, the traveling crane body 2 carries the angle steel and raises it and moves to above the feeding roller path 4 or an external transportation vehicle, and finally releases the angle steel to realize outbound.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. The present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
