Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, and in particular to a vertical storage device compatible with various types of boards. Background Technology

[0002] Existing boards are generally laid horizontally or stacked vertically. For horizontally laid boards, they can be directly retrieved when needed, but horizontal laying occupies a lot of horizontal space, which increases the storage cost of the boards. For vertically stacked boards, they are generally moved and stacked manually. When needed, the corresponding boards cannot be retrieved in time, which makes it difficult to retrieve the boards in the storage state, resulting in poor flexibility of use. Moreover, manual handling is strenuous and easily leads to damage to the boards.

[0003] Therefore, a vertical storage device is currently used. By setting the horizontal drive component and the material picking component on the lifting frame, the material can be placed or taken out of multiple storage positions through the linkage of the horizontal drive component and the material picking component when the lifting frame is raised to the aligned storage position. This realizes the vertical storage of the material in the storage rack and solves the problems of large horizontal space occupation and inability to retrieve materials in a timely manner due to the large amount of material stored.

[0004] However, the current horizontal conveying components of vertical storage devices and the transition conveying components of storage mechanisms all use multiple rolling wheels arranged horizontally and vertically to form a rolling wheel array with the same rolling direction for horizontal conveying. This can only convey relatively flat plates. When the shape of the plate is diversified (such as the plate has undulating shapes, grooves, through holes, etc.), some uneven parts on the plate are easy to get stuck in the gaps between the rolling wheels during the conveying process, which makes it impossible for the plate to be conveyed smoothly and achieve automatic storage.

[0046] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a vertical storage device compatible with various types of boards, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] A vertical storage device compatible with various types of boards includes a lifting drive mechanism 1, a storage conveying component 2, a pick-and-place mechanism 3, a vertical storage rack 4, and a transition conveying component 5; the vertical storage rack 4 has multiple storage stations 41 along the height direction, the vertical storage rack 4 is installed above the transition conveying component 5, and the transition conveying component 5 is located in front of or behind the storage conveying component 2 in the conveying direction.

[0048] The storage and transfer component 2 is installed on the lifting drive part of the lifting drive mechanism 1, and the storage and transfer component 2 can be raised and lowered to align with one of the storage stations 41;

[0049] The storage and transmission component 2 can also be raised or lowered to align with the transition transmission component 5, and the transmission directions of the storage and transmission component 2 and the transition transmission component 5 are the same;

[0050] The conveying surfaces of both the storage conveying component 2 and the transition conveying component 5 are combinations of multiple elongated surfaces or planes;

[0051] The pick-and-place mechanism 3 is located above the conveying surface of the storage and conveying component 2 and is used to pick up and place the board material back and forth between the storage station 41 and the conveying surface of the storage and conveying component 2.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the vertical storage device compatible with various types of substrates, this utility model provides an example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the conveying surfaces of the storage conveying component 2 and the transition conveying component 5 are changed from the existing multi-point combination bearing plate (roller array) to multiple strip surface combination or flat bearing plate (such as rollers, conveyor belts, etc.), which can bear a larger area of ​​the plate. When conveying irregularly shaped plates, plate-shaped plates with grooves or through holes, etc., the plates will not sink into the conveying components and cause jamming, which is compatible with the storage of various types of plates. At the same time, in order to match the characteristics of the planar conveying method, the pick-and-place mechanism 3 is set above the conveying surface of the storage conveying component 2 to pick up and place the plates back and forth, which can help realize vertical storage.

[0053] The specific working process is as follows: After the storage and conveying component 2 receives the conveyed board from the transition conveying component 5, the storage and conveying component 2 stops conveying. The lifting drive mechanism 1 will drive the storage and conveying component 2, the pick-and-place mechanism 3, and the board together to the storage station 41 corresponding to the vertical storage rack 4. Then, the pick-and-place mechanism 3 takes out the board from the storage and conveying component 2 and places it in the board station 41 for storage (the pick-and-place method is not limited here). At this time, the storage and conveying component 2 can also be activated to assist in conveying. Similarly, the board can be taken out from the storage station 41 and the work can be reversed.

[0054] Furthermore, the vertical storage rack 4 and the transition conveying component 5 constitute a storage group 6. There are two storage groups 6, and the two storage groups 6 are respectively located in front of and behind the storage conveying component 2 in the conveying direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, considering that multiple production lines may be stored in a centralized manner, or that the storage capacity of a single production line is limited, in order to expand the vertical storage capacity and have the ability to connect multiple production lines for centralized storage, two storage groups 6 are provided, with the vertical storage rack 4 and the transition conveying component 5 forming a storage group 6. They are respectively located in front of and behind the storage conveying component 2 in the conveying direction. The storage conveying component 2 receives the plates conveyed by the transition conveying component (5) and places them into the corresponding vertical storage rack 4. Thus, there is no need to make overall structural modifications to the vertical storage device to achieve the purpose of centralized storage or increase the storage capacity.

[0056] Furthermore, the pick-and-place mechanism 3 includes a pick-and-place support frame 31, a moving track 32, and a pick-and-place part 33; the pick-and-place support frame 31 spans above the storage and transfer assembly 2, and the left and right bottom ends of the pick-and-place support frame 31 are fixedly connected to the left and right side frames of the storage and transfer assembly 2, respectively; the moving track 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the pick-and-place support frame 31; the pick-and-place part 33 is movably mounted on the moving track 32; the track direction of the moving track 32 is consistent with the transfer direction of the storage and transfer assembly 2.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 3 needs to move along the conveying direction of the storage and conveying component 2 to send the board material on the storage and conveying component 2 into the storage station 41. Therefore, it is necessary to use the pick-and-place support frame 31 to set up a moving track 32 that is consistent with the conveying direction of the storage and conveying component 2. Then the pick-and-place part 33 can take out the board material and send it into the storage station 41 through the moving track 32.

[0058] Furthermore, the pick-and-place unit 33 includes a track mounting component 331, a first pick-and-place rod 332, and a second pick-and-place rod 333; the top of the track mounting component 331 is movably mounted on the moving track 32, and one end of the first pick-and-place rod 332 and one end of the second pick-and-place rod 333 are both hinged to the bottom of the track mounting component 331.

[0059] The other end of the first pick-up and put-down rod 332 flips toward the front of the moving track 32, and a first telescopic rod is provided between the middle of the first pick-up and put-down rod 332 and the bottom of the track mounting part 331;

[0060] The other end of the second pick-up and put-out rod 333 flips toward the rear side of the moving track 32, and a second telescopic rod is provided between the middle of the second pick-up and put-out rod 333 and the bottom of the track mounting part 331;

[0061] Hooks are provided at the other end of the first pick-up / placement rod 332 and the other end of the second pick-up / placement rod 333.

[0062] In this embodiment, the plate picking and pushing functions of the picking and placing unit 33 are realized by the track mounting component 331, the first picking and placing rod 332, and the second picking and placing rod 333. The track mounting component 331 is responsible for movement, and the first picking and placing rod 332 and the second picking and placing rod 333 are responsible for pushing backward and pushing forward, respectively. Taking the first picking and placing rod 332 as an example, when the plate on the storage and conveying component 2 needs to be taken out, moved backward, and placed into the storage station 41, the first telescopic rod extends, causing the other end of the first picking and placing rod 332 to move downward. The end component hooks the front edge of the plate, and then the track mounting component 331 moves backward, and the first picking and placing rod 332 pushes the plate into the storage station 41 of the rear vertical storage rack 4.

[0063] Furthermore, it also includes a plate holder 7, which is picked up and placed back and forth between the storage station 41 and the conveying surface of the storage conveying component 2 by the pick-and-place mechanism 3, and the plate holder 7 is also conveyed back and forth between the storage station 41 and the conveying surface of the storage conveying component 2 by the storage conveying component 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, based on the diversity of the various types of boards, relying solely on the pick-and-place unit 33 to hook and push may fail (for example, the edges of the boards are relatively rounded and difficult to hook). Therefore, a board support 7 is added to support the boards. The pick-and-place mechanism 3 and the storage and conveying component 2 work together to move back and forth between the storage station 41 and the conveying surface of the storage and conveying component 2, which helps to improve the storage success rate and work efficiency.

[0065] Furthermore, the storage and transfer assembly 2 includes a transfer support frame 21, a storage and transfer device 22, and a plate tray transfer assembly 23;

[0066] The storage and conveying device 22 is lifted and installed on the top of the conveying support frame 21. The left side of the storage and conveying device 22 and the left side frame of the conveying support frame 21, as well as the right side of the storage and conveying device 22 and the right side frame of the conveying support frame 21, are provided with plate bracket conveying components 23. The plate bracket conveying components 23 are used to carry and convey the plate bracket 7 back and forth.

[0067] The storage and conveying device 22 can be raised above the plate holder 7 or lowered below the plate holder 7;

[0068] The pick-and-place mechanism 3 and the conveying support frame 21 are fixedly connected and span across the storage and conveying device 22. The conveying support frame 21 is installed on the lifting drive part of the lifting drive mechanism 1.

[0069] The conveying surface of the storage and conveying device 22 is a combination of multiple elongated surfaces or a plane.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, in order to receive the board material from the transition conveyor 5, the storage conveyor 2 can also place the board material on the board material tray 7 and send the board material tray 7 together with the board material into the storage station 41. The storage conveyor 22 and the board material tray conveyor 23 are set on the conveyor support frame 21. The lifting capacity of the storage conveyor 22 is used to realize the alternation with the board material tray conveyor 23, so that the board material is transferred to the board material tray 7 and the board material tray conveyor 23 takes over the conveying of the board material tray 7 into the storage station 41.

[0071] The specific working process is as follows: The storage and conveying device 22 first descends, and the pick-and-place mechanism 3 hooks the board tray 7 from the storage station 41 of the vertical storage rack 4 to the board tray conveying component 23. The board tray conveying component 23 assists the pick-and-place mechanism 3 in conveying the board tray 7 to the center of the storage and conveying device 22. Then, the storage and conveying device 22 rises above the board tray 7. At this time, the lifting drive mechanism 1 lowers the storage and conveying component 2 to align with the transition conveying component 5 so that the board can be smoothly received above the board tray 7. After the lifting drive mechanism 1 raises the storage and conveying component 2 to the corresponding storage station 41, the storage and conveying device 22 descends to place the board on the board tray 7, which is then conveyed by the board tray conveying component 23 and hooked by the pick-and-place mechanism 3, and then sent into the storage station 41.

[0072] Furthermore, the storage and conveying device 22 is a roller conveying device;

[0073] The plate support 7 is a planar frame with multiple grids 71 ​​arranged from front to back. The distance between two adjacent grids 71 ​​is greater than the diameter of a single roller in the storage and conveying device 22. The rollers of the storage and conveying device 22 can pass through the gap between two adjacent grids 71 ​​and rise above the plate support 7.

[0074] The plate tray conveying assembly 23 is used to carry and convey the left and right side frames of the plate tray 7 back and forth between the storage station 41 and the storage conveying device 22, respectively.

[0075] The front and rear ends of the plate bracket 7 are equipped with hooks 72.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, in order to enable the storage and conveying device 22 and the plate holder 7 to alternate up and down while the plate holder 7 has sufficient support to support the plate, the plate holder 7 is preferably a grid frame, that is, a flat frame with multiple grids 71 ​​arranged from front to back. The storage and conveying device 22 is preferably a roller conveying device (that is, the conveying surface is a combination of multiple long strip surfaces), and the gap between two adjacent grids 71 ​​in the grid frame can cooperate with the rollers in the roller conveying device, so that when the roller conveying device rises or falls, the grids 71 ​​of the grid frame and the rollers of the roller conveying device can alternate up and down. At the same time, hooks 72 are provided at the front and rear ends of the plate holder 7 to match the hooks of the pick-and-place mechanism 3.

[0077] Furthermore, the plate tray conveying assembly 23 includes a conveyor bar 231 and multiple rollers 232; the conveyor bar 231 is disposed between the left side of the storage conveying device 22 and the left side frame of the conveying support frame 21 or between the right side of the storage conveying device 22 and the right side frame of the conveying support frame 21, and the conveyor bar 231 is used to carry and convey the left side frame or right side frame of the plate tray 7 back and forth between the storage station 41 and the storage conveying device 22;

[0078] Roller 232 is installed on the left or right side of the conveyor support frame 21, and roller 232 and plate bracket 7 roll relative to each other on the left or right side.

[0079] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, since the plate tray conveying assembly 23 is located between the left side of the storage conveying device 22 and the left side frame of the conveying support frame 21, and between the right side of the storage conveying device 22 and the right side frame of the conveying support frame 21, it is preferably composed of a conveyor bar 231 such as a drag chain, conveyor belt, rolling slide rail, etc., and multiple rollers 232. The conveyor bar 231 moves the entire plate tray 7 by conveying the side of the plate tray 7, and the conveying of the plate tray 7 is smoother by the guide sliding of the rollers 232.

[0080] Furthermore, the transition conveying assembly 5 includes a transition conveying device 51 and a transition frame 52; the transition conveying device 51 is installed on the top surface of the transition frame 52, the bottom end of the vertical storage rack 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transition frame 52, and the vertical storage rack 4 is mounted above the transition conveying device 51.

[0081] Storage and transfer component 2 can be raised and lowered to align with transition transfer device 51;

[0082] The conveying surface of the transition conveying device 51 is a combination of multiple elongated surfaces or a plane.

[0083] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, in order to prevent the storage and conveying component 2 from failing to descend to the ground and align with the transition conveying device 51, the transition conveying component 5 is equipped with a transition frame 52 to raise the transition conveying device 51; similarly, the transition conveying device 51 is preferably the same as the storage and conveying device 22 in the storage and conveying component 2, using a conveyor belt device or roller device, which can carry out strip-shaped or planar carrying and conveying of the board.

[0084] Furthermore, the vertical storage rack 4 includes a storage rack 43 and a plurality of storage wheels 42; the storage wheels 42 are respectively arranged opposite each other in the left and right sides of the storage rack 43 along the height direction of the storage rack 43, and the vertically adjacent and left and right opposite storage wheels 42 form a storage station 41.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and 4 As shown, after the storage wheels 42 are installed in the left and right side frames of the storage rack 43, the vertically adjacent and left and right opposite storage wheels 42 form storage stations 41, which are separated into different storage stations 41. Thus, after the board tray 7 enters the storage station 41, the oppositely arranged storage wheels 42 can respectively carry the left and right side frames of the board tray 7 and roll relative to the left and right side frames of the board tray 7, so that the board tray 7 can quickly and smoothly enter the storage station 41 for storage.
