Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of warehousing, in particular to an integrated automatic vertical warehouse with high space utilization. Background Art

[0002] After large quantities of parts of the same model are produced, they are usually placed on pallets to avoid collisions during placement and transportation. The pallet has several independent placement slots inside, each of which can hold a part. After the pallet is full of parts, the staff will transport it to the vertical warehouse for storage.

[0003] The existing vertical warehouse structure can refer to a three-dimensional shelf disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN208007825U, which includes a frame formed by columns and beams, and pallets for placing pallets are arranged longitudinally between the columns.

[0004] In order to store as many pallets as possible, the shelves are generally of a certain height. When the pallets are filled with products, they have a certain weight. Workers need to manually place or take the pallets on the shelves, which leads to low efficiency, safety hazards in high-altitude placement, and difficulty in placement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing vertical warehouses, which require operators to manually pick up and place pallets, resulting in low efficiency, laborious work and safety hazards. It provides an integrated automatic vertical warehouse with high space utilization and significantly improved picking and placing efficiency, without the need for manual picking and placing.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The loader has a plurality of vertical columns on its upper end, the vertical columns on its lower end and the vertical columns on its lower end.

[0008] The pick-up and placement transporting mechanism slides on the bottom plate and can be moved to the position just below the first stacking space or the entire lower portion of the second stacking space or to the parking position. When the pick-up and placement transporting mechanism moves to the parking position, the operator can take the full pallet on the pick-up and placement transporting mechanism or place the empty pallet on the pick-up and placement transporting mechanism; when the pick-up and placement transporting mechanism moves to the first stacking space, it can be lifted to stack the full pallet from bottom to top onto the first stacking space, and limited by the pick-up limit component; it can also be lifted to pick up the bottom pallet released by the pick-up limit component, and then lowered and moved to the parking position; when the pick-up and placement transporting mechanism moves to the second stacking space, it can be lifted to stack the empty pallet from bottom to top onto the second stacking space, and limited by the telescopic supporting part; it can also be lifted to pick up all the empty pallets released by the telescopic supporting part, and then lowered and moved to the parking position. The vertical warehouse has a high degree of automation, significantly improved pick-up efficiency, and is safe and fast.

[0009] Preferably, the picking limit assembly includes a first fixed frame fixed to the bottom plate, a fixed pressing assembly fixed to the first fixed frame and capable of horizontally extending and retracting and pressing against the side wall of a tray at a corresponding height after being extended, and a lifting seat vertically guided and lifted on the first fixed frame, the lifting seat being provided with a movable pressing assembly capable of horizontally extending and retracting and pressing against the side wall of the lowermost tray after being extended, and the movable pressing assembly being provided with a first supporting member capable of abutting against the bottom of the lowermost tray or detaching from the tray.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the first support member rises and falls synchronously with the mobile pressing component. Each time it rises to the same height, it can ensure that the fixed pressing component presses the second to last full pallet when it is extended, and the mobile pressing component combined with the first support member can press and support the bottom full pallet to descend and release it stably to the lifted pick-up and placement transplanting mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the movable pressing assembly includes a first pressing plate, a first driving cylinder for driving the first pressing plate to extend and retract, and a first buffering fitting assembly for driving the first pressing plate to elastically press against the side wall of the tray.

[0012] With the above solution, the first driving cylinder drives the first abutment plate to extend and retract, thereby realizing the forward or backward movement of the first support. The first buffer matching assembly can realize the elastic pressing of the first abutment plate against the side of the pallet, thereby reducing the wear of the pallet caused by hard extrusion.

[0013] Preferably, the first buffer mating assembly includes a first mounting plate vertically fixed at the end of the piston rod of the first driving cylinder, a first guide post protruding parallel to the side of the first abutment plate facing the first mounting plate and engaging with the first mounting plate for guiding and plugging, and a first limit block set at the end of the first guide post away from the first abutment plate to limit the first guide post from being separated from the first mounting plate, and a first elastic buffer part is sleeved on the first guide post, with both ends elastically abutting the first abutment plate and the first mounting plate respectively.

[0014] With the above solution, after the first guide post is guided and matched with the first mounting plate, the first limit block limits the first guide post from being separated from the first mounting plate, and the first elastic buffer provides the first elastic buffer force against the plate through its elastic deformation ability.

[0015] Preferably, a groove is recessed downward on the upper end surface of the first abutment plate, and the first support member includes a counterweight block rotatably arranged in the groove and a support block vertically protruding from one side of the counterweight block and extending to the outside of the first abutment plate. The support block can be flipped up to allow the tray to pass through from bottom to top or flipped down to fit with the bottom of the groove. The counterweight block drives the support block to be in a state where the bottom is in fit with the bottom of the groove under normal circumstances.

[0016] With the above solution, the first support is composed of a counterweight and a support block. The counterweight drives the support block to be in a horizontal state under normal circumstances. The advantage is that when the pallet is placed in the first stacking space by the pick-up and placement mechanism, the pallet rises and squeezes the first support. The first support is squeezed and flipped up to allow the pallet to pass through. After the pallet passes through, the support block automatically flips down under the action of the counterweight to support the lower end of the lowest pallet. This design can significantly reduce the working frequency of the first driving cylinder; when the pallet needs to be released, the first driving cylinder starts working to achieve the retraction of the first support.

[0017] Preferably, the fixed pressing assembly includes a second pressing plate, a second driving cylinder for driving the second pressing plate to extend and retract, and a second buffer fitting assembly for driving the second pressing plate to elastically press against the side wall of the tray.

[0018] By adopting the above scheme, the second abutment plate is elastically pressed against the side wall of the penultimate tray under the action of the second buffer matching assembly to limit the descent of all trays above the penultimate tray, thereby facilitating the movement of the abutment assembly to pull down and release the lowest tray to the pick-up and placement mechanism.

[0019] Preferably, the telescopic supporting part includes a third support plate, a third driving cylinder for driving the third support plate to extend and retract, and a third buffer matching assembly for driving the third support plate to elastically press against the side wall of the tray, and a second support member with the same structure as the first support member is rotatably arranged on the third support plate.

[0020] With the above solution, the telescopic supporting part does not need to release the pallet individually, so the empty pallet is released directly by the contraction of the third support plate and the second support; the performance of the second support itself can be directly used to achieve rapid stacking of empty pallets.

[0021] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a driving wheel and a driven wheel rotating at both ends of the base plate, a driving motor driving the driving wheel to rotate, and a synchronous belt tensioned and wound around the driving wheel and the driven wheel. Sliders are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the lower end of the frame, and a guide rail is fixed at the upper end of the base plate for the slider to guide and slide thereon, and the slider is fixed on the synchronous belt.

[0022] With the above solution, the frame and the base plate are guided and slidably matched through the guide rails and sliders. The drive motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, which drives the synchronous belt and the driven wheel to rotate, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the frame on the base plate.

[0023] Preferably, a pressing mechanism for limiting the offset of the pallet is provided on the pallet, and the pressing mechanism includes an assembly seat fixed in an offset manner on both sides of the pallet, a pressure plate rotatably set on the assembly seat, and a driving component that drives the pressure plate to rotate forward and reverse to press or move away from the pallet above the pallet.

[0024] With the above solution, the pallet is placed on the pallet. As the frame moves, the pallet may be at risk of shifting. The offset pressure plate presses the pallet tightly against the pallet, allowing the pallet to be transported stably.

[0025] Preferably, the driving component is a fourth driving cylinder, the cylinder body of the fourth driving cylinder is hinged to the lower end surface of the support plate at one end away from its piston rod and a screw is fixed to the end of its piston rod, the pressure plate is vertically folded downward at one end away from its lower pressing end to form a mating plate, the pressure plate is hinged to the assembly seat through the mating plate, and a clearance groove is provided on the mating plate for the screw to pass through and for the screw to slide when the cylinder body of the fourth driving cylinder is flipped, and limiting nuts are provided on both sides of the clearance groove on the screw, and a fitting gap is provided between the limiting nuts for the screw to flip a certain angle relative to the mating plate.

[0026] By adopting the above scheme, as the fourth driving cylinder extends and flips, the pressure plate is flipped, and the fitting clearance between the groove and the limit nut can change the fitting angle between the screw and the fitting plate, providing room for the angle change of the cylinder body.

[0027] The utility model has significant technical effects due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: the vertical warehouse is composed of a full material storage and retrieval mechanism, an empty material storage and retrieval mechanism and a pick-up and transfer mechanism; the pick-up and transfer mechanism slides on the bottom plate and can be moved to the position just below the first stacking space or the entire lower portion of the second stacking space or to a parking position; when the pick-up and transfer mechanism moves to the parking position, the operator can take the full material pallet on the pick-up and transfer mechanism or place the empty material pallet on the pick-up and transfer mechanism; when the pick-up and transfer mechanism moves to the first stacking space, the full material pallet can be lifted and placed It can be stacked from bottom to top on the first stacking space and limited by the pick-up limit component; it can also be lifted up to pick up the bottom pallet released by the pick-up limit component, and then lowered and moved to the parking position; when the pick-up and placement transfer mechanism moves to the second stacking space, it can be lifted up to stack the empty material pallets from bottom to top on the second stacking space and limited by the telescopic support part; it can also be lifted up to pick up all the empty material pallets released by the telescopic support part, and then lowered and moved to the parking position. The vertical warehouse has a high degree of automation, significantly improved picking and placement efficiency, and is safe and fast. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
