The state indicator lamp is arranged corresponding to each platform of the stereoscopic warehouse and is electrically connected with the controller. The state indicator lamp is used to indicate different running states of the elevator by displaying different colors. The operation box is arranged corresponding to each platform of the stereoscopic warehouse and is electrically connected with the controller. The operation box is provided with a pause button, a lifting switch and a transfer switch. The pause button is used to switch between an automatic control mode and a manual control mode of the elevator. The lifting switch is used to control the lifting of the loading platform of the elevator in the vertical direction when the elevator is in the manual control mode. The transfer switch is used to control the transfer of the loading platform of the elevator in the horizontal direction when the elevator is in the manual control mode.

[0031] The state indicating lamp comprises a first color indicating lamp, a second color indicating lamp and a third color indicating lamp.

[0032] The first color indicating lamp is a red indicating lamp, the second color indicating lamp is a green indicating lamp, and the third color indicating lamp is a yellow indicating lamp.

[0033] When manual operation of the elevator is needed, the worker can press the pause button, at this time the elevator becomes a manual control mode, the green indicating lamp and the yellow indicating lamp are lit at the same time, and the lifting switch is moved to control the lifting platform of the elevator in the vertical direction.

[0034] When automatic control of the elevator is needed, the worker can press the pause button again, at this time the pause button is in a pop-up state, the control of the elevator is switched to an automatic control mode, and the yellow indicating lamp is lit.

[0035] The elevator control system can intuitively display the running state of the elevator according to different colors of the state indicating lamp, facilitate the user to quickly judge the current state of the elevator, and effectively improve the operation efficiency of the elevator.

[0036] Further, the control system further comprises a siren, which is arranged on the elevator and is electrically connected with the controller.

[0047] When the elevator executes the automatic warehousing task, the goods are moved to the starting ground conveyor which is connected with the elevator after size detection at the warehousing entrance, and the destination is the lane number issued by the controller, which is converted into the corresponding destination conveyor. At this time, the elevator reaches the starting ground conveyor position through lifting operation, the starting ground conveyor completes alignment, the starting ground conveyor cooperates with the lifting operation of the moving platform of the elevator to make the goods reach the moving platform, the elevator reaches the destination conveyor (i.e. the warehousing entrance conveyor) position through lifting operation, the destination conveyor completes alignment, the moving platform of the elevator cooperates with the destination conveyor to make the goods unload to the destination conveyor, and the elevator completes the warehousing of the goods.

[0048] When the elevator executes the automatic outbound task, the goods are transferred from the conveyor lane to the conveyor connected with the elevator, which serves as the starting conveyor of the elevator task, and the elevator judges whether the destination has the outbound condition according to the received outbound task. If the outbound condition is met, the elevator reaches the position of the starting conveyor by lifting operation at this time, the starting conveyor completes the alignment, the starting conveyor cooperates with the transfer platform of the elevator to make the goods reach the transfer platform, the elevator reaches the position of the destination conveyor (i.e. the outbound port conveyor) by lifting operation, the destination conveyor completes the alignment, the transfer platform of the elevator cooperates with the destination conveyor to make the goods be unloaded onto the destination conveyor, and the elevator completes the outbound of the goods.
