Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a pipe section intelligent storage system, which mainly includes a storage main unit 01, a material picking main unit 07 and a hoisting main unit.

[0044] Combined Figures 7 to 9As shown, the main storage unit 01 is a square frame structure with multiple vertically distributed drawer-type storage compartments. Multiple adjustable tie rods 25 are connected between the two rear sides of the main storage unit 01. These adjustable tie rods 25 are arranged in pairs in a cross pattern to improve the seismic resistance of the entire system. The square frame design of the main storage unit 01 can lead to insufficient lateral stiffness; however, installing the adjustable tie rods 25 effectively increases the lateral stiffness of the entire system, improves its load-bearing capacity, and enhances structural stability. Furthermore, the adjustable tie rods 25 are not only economical and aesthetically pleasing while meeting structural requirements, but also facilitate construction and installation. A safety fence 03 is also installed around the top perimeter of the main storage unit 01 to protect operators during equipment maintenance and upkeep.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the main storage unit 01, each storage compartment has an open front side. A horizontal slide rail is fixed inside each storage compartment, and a workpiece pallet 26 is slidably mounted on the slide rail. The workpiece pallet 26 can slide out from the front of the storage compartment via the slide rail. A distance sensor 27 is installed on the rear side of each storage compartment to detect whether the workpiece pallet 26 is in position. A locking cylinder 29 is also installed on one side of the storage compartment, and the output end of the locking cylinder 29 is connected to a workpiece pallet safety lock 06. By extending or retracting the locking cylinder 29, the workpiece pallet safety lock 06 can be pushed to lock or unlock the workpiece pallet 26.

[0046] When in use, when the workpiece pallet 26 moves to the designated position, the distance sensor 27 gives a signal, the locking cylinder 29 closes, and the locking cylinder 29 controls the workpiece pallet safety lock 06 to close, which restricts the workpiece pallet 26 and prevents the workpiece pallet 26 from falling or being out of the designated position in the storage main unit 01 due to installation or other factors, thereby causing safety risks.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 ,as well as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the material handling unit 07 is vertically slidably installed on the front side of the storage unit 01. The material handling unit 07 can be raised and lowered to any storage room level to pull out the workpiece pallet 26 inside and onto the material handling unit 07, or push the workpiece pallet 26 on the material handling unit 07 back into the storage room. The material handling unit 07 has a pick-and-place working position; when picking up or placing pipe section workpieces, the material handling unit 07 first takes out the predetermined workpiece pallet 26 and raises and lowers it to the pick-and-place working position, and then cooperates with the hoisting unit to remove the pipe section workpiece on the workpiece pallet 26, or hoist a new pipe section workpiece onto the workpiece pallet 26.

[0048] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hoisting main unit is located on the front side of the storage main unit 01;

[0049] A pair of lifting base brackets 09 are fixed to the front side of the main storage unit 01, and a lifting Y-axis guide rail 10 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting base brackets 09. A lifting beam 14 is perpendicular to the lifting base brackets 09, and both ends of the lifting beam 14 are slidably mounted on the lifting Y-axis guide rails 10 on both sides. A Y-axis drive motor 11 is fixed to the end of the lifting beam 14, and a rack is fixed to one side of the lifting Y-axis guide rail 10. A gear that meshes with the rack is fixed to the output end of the Y-axis drive motor 11. Thus, the lifting beam 14 can move along the lifting Y-axis guide rail 10 via the Y-axis drive motor 11. Lifting Y-axis soft limit devices 17 are also fixed to both ends of the lifting Y-axis guide rail 10 to limit the movement of the lifting beam 14 and improve the safety of the equipment during operation.

[0050] A pair of lifting columns 12 are slidably mounted on the lifting beam 14. An X-axis lifting drive motor 08 is installed on the main body of each lifting column 12. Similarly, the X-axis lifting drive motor 08 drives the lifting columns 12 via gears and racks, enabling the lifting columns 12 to move along the lifting beam 14, thus accommodating the lifting and placement of workpieces of various lengths. A hook 15 slides vertically on the main body of each lifting column 12. The side of the hook 15 has a Z-axis lifting guide rail 18 that slides with the main body of the lifting column 12. A Z-axis lifting drive motor 13 is installed on the main body of each lifting column 12. Similarly, the Z-axis lifting drive motor 13 drives the hook 15 to rise and fall via gears and racks. A Z-axis soft limiting device 16 is also fixed at the upper and lower ends of the Z-axis lifting guide rail 18 to limit the movement of the hook 15, improving the safety of the equipment during operation.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] Based on the above embodiment one, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 5 ,as well as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the material handling unit 07 is controlled by a lifting drive mechanism. A vertical material handling unit lifting guide rail 05 is fixed to each of the two front sides of the storage unit 01. The two ends of the material handling unit 07 are slidably mounted on the corresponding lifting guide rails 05. Under the control of the lifting drive mechanism, the material handling unit 07 can move up and down along the lifting guide rails 05. In this embodiment, by setting the lifting guide rails 05, the accuracy of the material handling unit 07 during vertical movement is improved.

[0053] The lifting drive mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged main chains 02. Sprockets on the main chains 02 are mounted on both sides of the storage main unit 01, allowing the main chains 02 to rotate in both directions. The main body of the main chains 02 is parallel to the lifting guide rail 05 of the material handling unit, and the front of the main chains 02 is fixedly connected to the material handling main unit 07. The lifting motor 04 of the material handling unit is mounted on the top of the storage main unit 01. It drives the sprockets on both sides of the main chains 02 via a reducer and two extended couplings 22, thereby controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the main chains 02 and thus achieving the lifting of the material handling main unit 07.

[0054] In this embodiment, a vertical counterweight guide groove 28 is provided on each of the two rear sides of the main storage unit 01, near the main chain 02. A counterweight device 24 is slidably mounted on the counterweight guide groove 28. The counterweight device 24 is connected to the rear side of the main chain 02 via a chain safety locking device 23. During the process of the main chain 02 driving the material picking main unit 07 to rise and fall, the counterweight device 24 moves up and down along the counterweight guide groove 28. The main chain 02 and the material picking main unit 07 are connected in a closed loop, which not only reduces the load on the lifting motor 04 of the material picking unit, but also prevents the material picking main unit 07 from falling in the event of an emergency.

[0055] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a material-picking hook guide rail 20 is fixed on the material-picking main unit 07, and the material-picking hook guide rail 20 is parallel to the sliding direction of the workpiece tray 26. A material-picking chain 21 and a drive motor for driving the material-picking chain 21 are installed on the material-picking main unit 07. A material-picking hook device 19 for dragging the workpiece tray 26 is slidably mounted on the material-picking hook guide rail 20 and is fixedly connected to the material-picking chain 21. In this way, driven by the material-picking chain 21, the material-picking hook device 19 can move along the material-picking hook guide rail 20 to complete the picking and placing of the workpiece tray 26.

[0056] Working principle:

[0057] When storing pipe section workpieces, the material picking main unit 07 is raised and lowered to the storage chamber at the predetermined position; the locking cylinder 29 in the storage chamber is activated to unlock the workpiece tray 26; the material picking chain 21 in the material picking main unit 07 drives the material picking hook device 19 to take the workpiece tray 26 in the storage chamber onto the material picking main unit 07.

[0058] The material handling unit 07 is raised to the material handling and placement position;

[0059] The two lifting columns 12 are adjusted to accommodate the length of the pipe section workpiece under the drive of the lifting X-axis drive motor 08; then, the hook 15 is lowered to the position of the pipe section workpiece under the drive of the lifting Z-axis drive motor 13 and hooks the pipe section workpiece; finally, the hook 15 moves to the pick-and-place working position and places the pipe section workpiece on the workpiece tray 26 on the material picking main unit 07.

[0060] The material handling unit 07 moves back to the storage room at the predetermined position. The material handling chain 21 in the material handling unit 07 drives the material handling hook device 19 to push the workpiece tray 26 back to the storage room. After the distance sensor 27 in the storage room detects that the workpiece tray 26 has reached the designated position, it gives a signal and the locking cylinder 29 controls the workpiece tray safety lock 06 to close and lock the workpiece tray 26.

[0061] Similarly, the process of removing the pipe section workpiece is similar to that described above.

[0062] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
