DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described in the embodiments are intended to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] References in this specification to "one embodiment," "an example," or "an example" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself can be included in at least one embodiment disclosed herein. The appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0038] A shelf robot usually includes an actuator component, a lifting component arranged vertically, and a guide rail structure arranged horizontally. The actuator component is used to pick up and place goods or boxes, the lifting component can drive the actuator component to move up and down, and the lifting component can slide along the horizontal guide rail, so as to transport the actuator component to each storage location on each layer of the shelf. The actuator component can take out the goods or boxes in the storage location and deliver the goods or boxes when it is in the shipping position (for example, when it is handed over to a transport cart or temporary shelf on the ground).

[0039] Existing shelf robots can only take out a single item or box at a time through the execution component. Therefore, when it is necessary to take out goods or boxes from multiple storage locations to a temporary storage point, or when it is necessary to take out goods or boxes from a deeper position in the same storage location, the shelf robot often needs to make multiple round trips to pick up the goods.

[0040] For example, when it is necessary to take boxes from multiple storage locations to a cache location (such as a cache rack on one side of a shelf, an automated guided vehicle (AGV), a conveyor belt, or multiple cache locations at the bottom of a shelf), the shelf robot needs to sequentially move to the storage location to be picked up, take out the box, move it to the cache location, and put the box down. The process of the shelf robot making multiple round trips between each storage location and the cache location consumes a lot of time.

[0041] When it is necessary to take out goods or boxes from a deeper position in the same storage location, the shelf robot also needs to first take out the goods or boxes on the outside of the location one by one and temporarily place them in the cache. After taking out the required boxes, it is also necessary to put back the other temporarily stored boxes one by one. This process also takes a lot of time, especially when the shelf robot is used on large-sized and high-height shelves, which seriously affects the shelf robot's efficiency in picking up goods.

[0042] In order to solve the above technical problems, as one aspect of the present invention, a picking component for a shelf robot is provided, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the picking component includes an actuator 200 and at least one column 300. The actuator 200 is movably arranged on the column 300 and can move along the column 300. The picking component also includes at least one cache platform 400. The cache platform 400 is fixedly arranged on the column 300. The actuator 200 can place goods on the cache platform 400 or remove goods from the cache platform 400.

[0043] It is understandable that the picking component provided by the present invention can be used with the lateral displacement component 600 when applied to a shelf robot, such as Figure 3 As shown, the entire picking assembly is driven to move in the horizontal direction by the lateral displacement assembly 600, thereby transferring the actuator 200 to different storage locations at different horizontal positions to perform the operations of picking up and placing goods and material boxes.

[0044] In the picking assembly provided by the present invention, the actuator 200 can move along the column 300 to perform picking and placing operations on goods and boxes of different heights. At the same time, a cache platform 400 is also provided on the column 300, so that the cache platform 400 can be used to transfer multiple boxes at the same time, or the cache platform 400 can be used to temporarily store unnecessary boxes, thereby ensuring the efficiency of picking and placing boxes.

[0045] Specifically, when it is necessary to take out boxes from multiple storage locations and place them in a cache location that is horizontally far away from these boxes (for example, a cache rack on one side of the shelf, an AGV trolley, a conveyor belt, or a cache location 40 at the bottom of the shelf), the boxes can be taken out from the shelf and placed on the cache platform 400 first, and then the picking component is moved horizontally so that the boxes on the cache platform 400 and the boxes carried by the actuator 200 arrive at the row where the cache locations are located at the same time, and then the actuator 200 is lifted and lowered multiple times to transfer the multiple boxes to the corresponding cache locations in turn, saving the time of the picking component to travel horizontally back and forth between the storage locations and the cache locations (the process of transporting multiple boxes from the cache location to multiple storage locations is similar and will not be repeated here);

[0046] When it is necessary to take or place a box on the inner side of a storage location, the actuator 200 can first take out a box on the outer side of the storage location along the first horizontal direction x and temporarily place the box on a buffer platform 400. Then, the box on the inner side to be taken out can be taken out and transferred to the corresponding buffer location, thereby saving the time required to transport the box on the outer side to the buffer location and to retrieve it from the buffer location.

[0047] The picking component provided by the present invention can move the material boxes on the shelf to the cache platform 400 of the picking component for temporary storage, which is convenient for picking up the unloaded boxes from the inner storage space in the double-depth scenario, and increasing the number of material boxes carried at a time during normal inbound and outbound tasks. It can effectively shorten the time required for actions such as picking up and placing multiple material boxes at the same time and picking up and placing material boxes on the inner side of the storage space, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the shelf robot in picking up and placing material boxes, and thus ensuring the working efficiency of the warehousing system.

[0048] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the picking assembly further includes a lifting mechanism 100 , which is disposed on the column 300 and can drive the actuator 200 to move along the column 300 .

[0049] The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the structural type of the lifting mechanism 100, as long as it can drive the actuator 200 to move in a straight line. For example, the lifting mechanism 100 may include a linear motor structure, a pulley transmission structure, or a screw transmission structure.

[0050] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the actuator 200 can extend along the first horizontal direction x to take out goods from the shelf or put goods back on the shelf, and can also extend along the second horizontal direction y to place goods on the buffer platform 400 or take goods off the buffer platform 400 (i.e. Figure 4 The first horizontal direction x intersects the second horizontal direction y.

[0051] Optionally, the first horizontal direction x and the second horizontal direction y are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] In order to facilitate the taking and placing of the material box on the inner side of the storage space, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the columns 300 are arranged in pairs (along the second horizontal direction y), and a cache platform 400 is provided on each column 300 , wherein at least one cache platform 400 has the same height as the cache platforms 400 on different columns 300 .

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, cache platforms 400 are provided on the columns 300 on both sides of the actuator 200, and at least some of the cache platforms 400 are arranged in pairs at the same height. Therefore, when the actuator 200 extends into the shelf between the paired columns 300 and takes out the material boxes, the unnecessary material boxes on the outside can be placed on the cache platform 400 on one side of the height, and then the material boxes to be taken on the inside can be placed on the cache platform 400 on the other side of the same height, and then the unnecessary material boxes can be put back. During this process, the actuator 200 does not need to perform any lifting movement, thereby further improving the efficiency of box unloading.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 2 As shown, each column 300 is provided with a plurality of buffer platforms 400 spaced apart along the length direction of the column 300 , so that the actuator 200 can temporarily store material boxes on-site at multiple heights through the nearby buffer platforms 400 .

[0055] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the cache platform 400 includes a support rod 410, a bearing plate 420 and a reinforcing rib plate 430. The support rod 410 extends along the first horizontal direction x, and one end of the support rod 410 is fixedly connected to the column 300. The reinforcing rib plate 430 extends along the second horizontal direction y and one end is fixedly connected to the support rod 410. The bearing plate 420 is fixedly connected to the support rod 410 and the reinforcing rib plate 430.

[0056] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing ribs 430 are located at both side edges of the supporting plate 420 along the first horizontal direction x, and the reinforcing ribs 430 and the supporting plate 420 are formed as one body. For example, the reinforcing ribs and the supporting plate 420 can be made of the same plate through sheet metal processing.

[0057] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the cache platform 400 also includes a guide limit bar 440 arranged on the top of the supporting plate 420, the guide limit bar 440 extends along the second horizontal direction y, and the guide limit bar 440 is arranged in pairs along the first horizontal direction x, and the guide limit bar 440 is used to guide and limit both sides of the material box or goods.

[0058] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, one end of the guide limit strip 440 toward the actuator 200 is bent outward to form a flared structure to improve the smoothness of the material box or goods entering the cache platform 400.

[0059] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the cache platform 400 also includes a limit bar 450, which is connected between the ends of the guide limit bar 440 away from the actuator 200. The limit bar 450 is used to limit the outside of the material box or goods to prevent the material box or goods from falling out.

[0060] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the actuator 200 can be a clamping type actuator, that is, the mechanism limits the material box by both sides of the material box to limit the moving path of the material box, and cooperates with the hook fork at the end of the mechanism to pull the material box out of the storage position, or push the material box into the storage position; or, the actuator 200 can also be a hook-pull type actuator, that is, it drags the material box to move by hooking the handle grooves on both sides of the material box; or it can also include a driving structure in the form of a cantilever structure, a suction cup structure, etc.

[0061] In particular, when the actuator 200 is a comb-tooth actuator, comb-tooth grooves are correspondingly formed on the buffer platform 400 to cooperate with the actuator 200 for cargo transfer.

[0062] As a second aspect of the present invention, a shelf robot is provided, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shelf robot lateral displacement component 600 and the picking component provided by the present invention, the lateral displacement component 600 is connected to the column 300, and the lateral displacement component 600 can drive the column 300 to move along the lateral guide rail 500 intersecting the column 300.

[0063] In the shelf robot provided by the present invention, a cache platform 400 is provided on the column 300, so that the picking component can move the material boxes on the shelf to the cache platform 400 of the picking component for temporary storage, which is convenient for picking up the unloaded boxes from the inner warehouse in the double-depth scene, and increasing the number of material boxes brought at a time during normal inbound and outbound tasks. It can effectively shorten the time required for actions such as picking up and placing multiple material boxes at the same time and picking up and placing material boxes on the inner side of the storage space, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the shelf robot in picking up and placing material boxes, and thus ensuring the working efficiency of the warehousing system.

[0064] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, the shelf robot further includes a transverse guide rail 500 , which extends in a direction intersecting the upright column 300 .

[0065] Optionally, the lateral displacement assembly 600 can drive the picking assembly to move along the lateral guide rail 500 by driving itself through a roller that is in frictional contact with the lateral displacement assembly 600 .

[0066] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the shelf robot further includes a bottom sliding seat 700, which is fixedly disposed at one end of the column 300, and a ground contact roller 710 is disposed on the side of the bottom sliding seat 700 facing away from the column 300;

[0067] The lateral displacement assembly 600 includes a displacement mounting seat, a lateral drive unit and an elastic connecting member. The displacement mounting seat is fixedly arranged on the column 300. The lateral drive unit is movably connected to the displacement mounting seat, and the lateral drive unit can drive the column 300 to move along the lateral guide rail 500. The elastic connecting member is connected between the lateral drive unit and the displacement mounting seat, and applies an elastic force to the lateral drive unit along the length direction of the column 300.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the bottom end of the column 300 is in rolling contact with the ground through the bottom sliding seat 700, and the ground is used to bear part of the weight of the picking assembly. At the same time, the weight of the picking assembly is used to make the elastic connecting part elastically press down the transverse driving part, thereby ensuring the friction between the transverse driving part and the transverse guide rail 500.

[0069] As a third aspect of the present invention, a storage system is provided, such as Figure 5 As shown, the storage system includes a shelf and a shelf robot provided by the present invention, and the shelf robot is arranged on one side of the shelf.

[0070] In the warehousing system provided by the present invention, a cache platform 400 is provided on the column 300 of the shelf robot. The picking component can move the material boxes on the shelf to the cache platform 400 of the picking component for temporary storage, which is convenient for picking up the unloaded boxes from the inner storage space in the double-deep scene, and increasing the number of material boxes brought at a time during normal inbound and outbound tasks. It can effectively shorten the time required for actions such as picking up and placing multiple material boxes at the same time and picking up and placing material boxes on the inner side of the storage space, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the shelf robot in picking up and placing material boxes, and thus ensuring the working efficiency of the warehousing system.

The storage layer 20 includes multiple storage positions distributed along the length direction of the transverse guide rail 500 of the shelf robot; the multiple cache positions 40 are located below the bottom storage layer 20 and are distributed along the length direction of the transverse guide rail 500 of the shelf robot.

[0072] Preferably, the height of at least part of the cache platform 400 corresponds to the height of at least part of the storage layer 20, so that the actuator 200 can place the material box taken out from each storage layer 20 directly on the cache platform 400 of the corresponding layer.

[0073] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the shelf robot further includes a transverse guide rail 500 , which is fixedly connected to the support frame 10 .
