[0033] Reference Figure 1 A self-service file box 20 access machine 10 for use in an unmanned file warehouse, the access machine 10 comprising:

[0034] The storage rack 11 has a plurality of storage slots 111 for storing the file boxes 20;

[0035] The push-pull frame 12 is movably mounted in the storage tank 111. The push-pull frame 12 is movably connected to the storage frame 11. A spring sheet 121 is mounted on the inner side of the push-pull frame 12. Figure 5 As shown, the push-pull frame 12 is divided into a back push plate located in the middle and rear part and pull plates installed vertically on both sides, wherein the spring leaf 121 is installed on the side of the pull plate away from the push plate and is installed on the inner side;

[0036] The retrieval rack 13 is movably mounted on the side of the storage rack 11, and the top surface of the retrieval rack 13 is flush with the bottom of the storage slot 111. The retrieval rack 13 can move along the length direction of the access machine 10. The push-pull rack 12 is used to push the file box 20 from the storage slot 111 to the retrieval rack 13, or to pull the file box 20 into the storage slot 111. Specifically, the vertical projection of the spring sheet 121 is a structure with a protruding middle part and gentle slopes on both sides. The middle part of the spring sheet 121 can be squeezed and deformed toward the side wall of the push-pull rack 12. If the file box is not constrained by external force at this time, the file box will be restricted in the push-pull rack 12 by the middle protrusion of the spring sheet 121 and the back push plate. If the file box is constrained to the outside of the push-pull rack 12 by external force, when the push-pull rack 12 moves backward, the spring sheet 121 is squeezed by the side wall of the file box and deformed, so that the file box can stay in place.

[0037] The access rack 13 is also equipped with a limit assembly 131, which is used to limit the file box 20 placed on the access rack 13. The limit assembly 131 includes a limit plate 1311, which is retractably installed in the access rack 13. When the limit plate 1311 is extended, the file box 20 is restricted on the access rack 13. Figure 7 As shown; the limiting assembly 131 also includes a second motor 1312, which is installed in the picking rack 13, and the output end of the second motor 1312 is equipped with a second screw rod, which is threadedly engaged with the limiting plate 1311. By rotating the second screw rod, the limiting plate 1311 is extended or retracted into the limiting plate 1311, as shown Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown.

[0038] A plurality of first screw rods 112 are installed at the bottom of the storage rack 11, and the position of each first screw rod 112 corresponds to the storage slot 111. The push-pull rack 12 is threadedly matched with the first screw rod 112. The retrieval rack 13 is installed with a first motor 132 for rotating the first screw rod 112, and a guide rack 114 is installed at the bottom of the storage rack 11. One end of the first screw rod 112 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the access machine 10, and the other end is rotatably installed on the guide rack 114, and a groove 1121 is opened; the output end of the first motor 132 can be embedded in the groove 1121. Specifically, as the retrieval rack 13 moves, when it moves to the corresponding storage slot 111, the output end of the first motor 132 will move to the groove 1121 of the first screw rod 112 below the storage slot 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by rotating the first screw rod 112, the push-pull rack 12 at the corresponding position can be moved forward and backward through the rotation of the first screw rod 112 to realize the storage and retrieval of the file box.

[0039] In summary, first, the picking rack 13 moves to the position of the storage slot 111 at a specific position (assuming that there is a file box in the storage slot 111 at this time). At this time, the output end of the first motor 132 will move to the groove 1121 of the first screw rod 112 below the storage slot 111, and the first screw rod 112 will be rotated. By rotating the first screw rod 112, the push-pull rack 12 moves forward to push the file box 20 in the storage slot 111 to the surface of the picking rack 13. At this time, the second motor 1312 rotates the second screw rod, so that the limit plate 1311 moves upward, restricting the file box to the surface of the picking rack 13, so that the file box cannot move along the moving direction of the picking rack 13. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the first motor 132 rotates the first screw rod 112 in the reverse direction, causing the push-pull frame 12 to move backward, and the spring sheet 121 is squeezed by the side wall of the file box and deformed, so that the file box can stay in place;

[0040] Second, when the file box on the surface of the retrieval rack 13 needs to be moved into the storage slot 111, the second motor 1312 rotates the second screw rod, causing the limit plate 1311 to move upward, restricting the file box to the surface of the retrieval rack 13. At this time, the first motor 132 rotates, and the first screw rod 112 rotates, causing the push-pull rack 12 to move forward. At this time, the spring piece 121 is squeezed and deformed by the side wall of the file box until it is stuck to the front end of the file box, causing the spring piece 121 and the back push plate to restrict the file box. At this time, the second motor 1312 rotates again to move the limit plate 1311 downward, so that the file box can no longer be restricted by the limit plate 1311. At this time, the first motor 132 rotates again, and the first screw rod 112 rotates, causing the push-pull rack 12 to move backward, and the file box 20 can be pulled back to the storage slot 111. Figure 8 shown.

[0041] The access machine 10 further includes a material return mechanism for pushing out the file box 20 on the surface of the access rack 13. The material return mechanism includes a cylinder 16. The cylinder end of the cylinder 16 is installed in the access machine 10, and the telescopic end is used to push the file box 20 forward. Figure 11 shown.

[0042] Furthermore, several storage slots 111 are provided along the length direction of the storage rack 11, and several storage racks 11 are equidistantly provided along the height direction of the deposit and withdrawal machine 10 to further expand the storage capacity of the deposit and withdrawal machine 10; accordingly, the deposit and withdrawal machine 10 further includes: a lifting mechanism 14, the lifting mechanism 14 includes a lifting frame 141 and a winch 142; the lifting frame 141 is installed in the deposit and withdrawal machine 10 so as to be movable up and down; the winch 142 is installed on the top of the deposit and withdrawal machine 10 and is used to reel in the steel cable, one end of the steel cable is fixed on the lifting frame 141; the retrieval rack 13 can be moved from the side of the storage rack 11 to the lifting frame 141, or from the lifting frame 141 to the side of the storage rack 11, and cooperates with the winch 142 to reel in or unroll the steel cable, so that the lifting frame 141 can be moved to storage racks 11 of different heights and be flush with storage racks 11 of different heights.

[0043] Specifically, a first guide rail 113 is provided on the side of the storage rack 11 and the inner wall of the access machine 10. The first guide rail 113 is located on both sides of the access rack 13. Sliders 133 are provided on both sides of the access rack 13. The sliders 133 are movably embedded in the first guide rail 113; a second guide rail 1411 is provided in the lifting frame 141. When the lifting frame 141 moves to the storage rack 11 corresponding to the access rack 13, the lifting frame 141 is flush with the storage rack 11, and the second guide rail 1411 is connected to the first guide rail 113, so that the slide 133 moves from the first guide rail 113 to the second guide rail 1411, and the access rack 13 is moved to the side of the storage rack 11 or to the lifting frame 141, or from the lifting frame 141 to the side of the storage rack 11. Figure 12 As shown, further, a driving wheel 1331 is installed on the slider 133, and the driving wheel 1331 can move the object-taking rack 13 in the guide rail, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 shown.

[0044] Furthermore, a guide rod 15 is installed in the deposit and withdrawal machine 10, and the lifting frame 141 is movably installed on the guide rod 15 to guide the lifting frame 141 to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the lifting frame 141 from being offset or dislocated, and ensuring that the first guide rail 113 and the second guide rail 1411 can overlap accurately.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0046] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above embodiments are merely for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Other variations or modifications may be made based on the above disclosure, and such variations or modifications are still within the scope of the present invention.
