[0051] The warehousing workstation provided by the utility model adopts a semi-automatic design, and has a reasonable overall layout, which is concise and clear, thereby improving the warehousing efficiency and reducing the cost.
[0052] In this embodiment, the empty box cache line 10 and the incoming conveyor line 30 are located on the same side of the replenishment workbench 20, and the conveying directions of the empty box cache line 10 and the incoming conveyor line 30 are parallel and opposite. The layout is reasonable and saves space. Empty mobile robots are allowed to pass under the empty box cache line 10 and under the incoming conveyor line 30. After placing the empty material box 1 at the head end of the empty box cache line 10, the mobile robot can run from under the empty box cache line 10, the aisle between the empty box cache line 10 and the incoming conveyor line 30, and under the incoming conveyor line 30 to the docking position 40 to pick up the full material box 2 on the docking position.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first conveyor assembly 12 includes two first sub-conveyor assemblies 121, which are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the empty box buffer line 10. This reduces the contact area between the material box and the first conveyor assembly 12, thereby reducing the friction between the material box and the first conveyor assembly 12 and improving the smooth movement of the material box on the first conveyor assembly 12. The gap between the two first sub-conveyor assemblies 121 allows a mobile robot to enter and place the lifted empty material box 1 onto the two first sub-assemblies 121. Each first sub-assembly 121 includes a first conveyor frame 1212 and multiple first rolling elements 1211. Optionally, the first rolling elements 1211 are rollers.

[0056] In this embodiment, a first stop plate 14 is provided at the end of the first conveying frame 1212 , and the first stop plate 14 is used to stop the empty material box 1 . Optionally, the first stop plate 14 is connected to the end of the first guide plate 13 .
[0057] In this embodiment, there are two empty box cache lines 10, and the two empty box cache lines 10 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the empty box cache lines 10. Of course, the number of empty box cache lines 10 is not limited to this, and can also be one or more than two, and can be set according to specific needs.
[0058] The inbound conveyor line 30 includes a second bracket 31, a second conveying assembly 32, and a power element. The second conveying assembly 32 is arranged on the second bracket 31. The second conveying assembly 32 is used to transport the full material box 2 after replenishment from the head end to the end of the inbound conveyor line 30. In this embodiment, the second conveying assembly 32 is a powered conveying assembly. Optionally, the second conveying assembly 32 includes a second conveyor frame 322 and a plurality of second rolling members 321. The second conveyor frame 322 is arranged on the second bracket 31, and the second conveyor frame 322 extends along the conveying direction of the inbound conveyor line 30.

[0061] In this embodiment, the incoming conveyor line 30 also includes a height limiting mechanism 35, which is used to limit the height of the stacked goods in the full box 2 transported by the incoming conveyor line 30. Optionally, the height limiting mechanism 35 is a height limiting bracket, which is arranged on the second bracket 31 and is located above the second conveying component 32, and there is a set height between the height limiting bracket and the conveying surface of the second conveying component 32. When the height of the stacked goods in the full box 2 on the second conveying component 32 exceeds the height of the height limiting bracket, it will be blocked by the height limiting bracket and cannot move forward. Alternatively, the height limiting mechanism 35 can also be a through-beam photoelectric sensor, which includes a transmitting part and a receiving part, and the transmitting part and the receiving part are relatively distributed in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the incoming conveyor line 30, and there is a set height between the transmitting part and the receiving part and the conveying surface of the second conveying component 32. When the height of the stacked goods in the full container 2 exceeds the height of the transmitter and receiver, the signal from the transmitter is blocked by the goods, and the receiver cannot receive the signal. The receiver is in communication with the power element. When the receiver cannot receive the signal, it will control the power element to shut down, preventing the second conveying assembly 32 from continuing to convey. It should be noted that when replenishing goods in the container, due to the stacking of goods, the height may exceed the height of the container. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the height of the goods protruding from the container to ensure stable and safe transportation.
[0062] The docking position 40 is located on the side of the second conveying assembly 32 away from the empty box buffer line 10 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inbound conveyor line 30.

The second sub-conveyor assembly 421 includes a docking conveyor frame 4212 and a plurality of third rolling elements 4211. The docking conveyor frame 4212 is mounted on the docking bracket 41 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inbound conveyor line 30. The plurality of third rolling elements 4211 are rotatably connected to the docking conveyor frame 4212 and are distributed along the extension direction of the docking conveyor frame 4212. The axis direction of the third rolling elements 4211 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inbound conveyor line 30. Optionally, the third rolling elements 4211 are rollers.
[0063] In this embodiment, the docking conveyor frame 4212 is arranged at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the height of the docking conveyor frame 4212 near the storage conveyor line 30 is higher than the height of the end away from the storage conveyor line 30. The full container 2 can move into place along the docking assembly 42 by its own gravity.
[0064] In this embodiment, the docking station 40 further includes two third guide plates 43, both of which are disposed on the docking bracket 41 and are located on either side of the docking assembly 42 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the docking assembly 42. The third guide plates 43 are used to guide and limit the position of the material box on the docking assembly 42.
[0065] In this embodiment, the end of the docking conveyor frame 4212 away from the storage conveyor line 30 is provided with a third stop plate 44, and the third stop plate 44 is used to stop the material box. Optionally, the third stop plate 44 is connected to the end of the third guide plate 43 away from the storage conveyor line 30.

Optionally, a support frame 3221 is provided on the second bracket 31, and the barcode scanning mechanism 60 is mounted on the support frame 3221. Optionally, the barcode scanning mechanism 60 can be a camera or a video camera. When staff replenishes goods in an empty bin 1, they simultaneously bind the goods being replenished to the corresponding bin. The barcode scanning mechanism 60 is used to scan the barcode on the bin to determine information about the bin and its contents.
[0068] In this embodiment, the empty box buffer line 10 is conveyed in the direction of the long side of the box, so that the mobile robot can place the empty box 1 on the empty box buffer line 10. The storage conveyor line 30 is conveyed in the direction of the short side of the box. This is because barcodes are attached to both ends of the long side of the box, and this placement makes it easier for the barcode scanning mechanism 60 to scan the barcode on the box.
