Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0037] In a warehousing system, handling equipment responds to order instructions by moving the goods corresponding to the order to the picking mechanism of the picking system. The picking mechanism then transfers the goods to the picking platform of the picking system, where items corresponding to the order are sorted into order boxes, thus achieving the sorting of items corresponding to the order. The goods can be items, carriers containing items, or boxes containing items, etc.; the handling equipment can be robotic arms or handling robots, etc.

[0038] During the process of transporting goods to the picking mechanism of the picking system, the transport equipment moves along a set path. In related technologies, the picking mechanism of the picking system is set on one side of the support frame in the horizontal direction. During the movement of the transport equipment, it will pass through the side of the support frame where the picking mechanism is located. This means that when there is a deviation in the movement path of the transport equipment, the goods carried on the transport equipment are prone to collide with the picking mechanism, affecting the working efficiency and reliability of the warehousing system.

[0039] In response to the technical problems existing in the relevant technologies, refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the warehousing system 100 of this embodiment includes a support frame 1, a box-retrieving mechanism 2, and a collision avoidance mark 3. The box-retrieving mechanism 2 is movably connected to the support frame 1 in a vertical direction. The box-retrieving mechanism 2 is disposed on one side of the support frame 1 in a first direction. The collision avoidance mark 3 is located on at least one side of the support frame 1 and / or the box-retrieving mechanism 2 in a second direction. The collision avoidance mark 3 is used for identification by handling equipment to ensure that the goods carried by the handling equipment avoid the box-retrieving mechanism 2. The first direction is orthogonal to the vertical direction, and the second direction is orthogonal to both the vertical direction and the first direction.

[0040] The retrieval mechanism 2 can be positioned away from the receiving point of the warehousing system in the first direction. For example, the receiving point could be a temporary storage location for goods, a receiving trolley for carrying goods, or a picking location on a picking platform. Alternatively, the retrieval mechanism 2 can be positioned close to the receiving point of the warehousing system, such as a mobile shelf, from which the retrieval mechanism 2 retrieves and returns goods. The goods can be items, vehicles containing items, or boxes containing items. The anti-collision marking 3 can be anti-collision components, QR codes, image markings, etc.

[0041] The anti-collision mark 3 is located on at least one side of the support frame 1 and / or the box retrieval mechanism 2 in the second direction. This can be understood as follows: the anti-collision mark 3 is located on one or both sides of the support frame 1 in the second direction, but the box retrieval mechanism 2 is not provided with anti-collision mark 3 on each side of the second direction; or, the anti-collision mark 3 is located on one or both sides of the support frame 1 in the second direction, and the anti-collision mark 3 is located on one or both sides of the box retrieval mechanism 2 in the second direction. In this case, the support frame 1 and the box retrieval mechanism 2 can be the same anti-collision mark 3, or they can be different anti-collision marks 3.

[0042] The vertical direction can be the direction shown by the Z-axis in the figure, the first direction can be the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure, and the second direction can be the direction shown by the Y-axis in the figure.

[0043] It should be noted that the first direction in this application is not limited to the X-axis direction in the figure, but can also be the Y-axis direction, or any direction in the horizontal plane; similarly, the second direction in this application is not limited to the Y-axis direction in the figure, but can also be the X-axis direction, or any direction in the horizontal plane. The following embodiments of this application use the X-axis direction in the figure as an example for the first direction and the Y-axis direction in the figure as an example for the second direction.

[0044] The warehousing system 100 of this application embodiment, by setting anti-collision markings 3 on at least one side of the support frame 1 and / or the retrieval mechanism 2 in the second direction, enables the handling equipment to determine its movement path by recognizing the anti-collision markings 3 during the process of the handling equipment moving the goods to the retrieval mechanism 2, thereby avoiding collision between the goods carried by the handling equipment and the retrieval mechanism 2, and thus improving the working efficiency and reliability of the warehousing system.

[0045] The handling equipment can be a robotic arm, a handling robot, or a mobile shelf, etc. Determining the movement path of the handling equipment can be understood as either replanning the movement path of the handling equipment or continuing to move according to the already planned movement path. The determined movement path should ensure that the goods carried by the handling equipment will not collide with the picking mechanism 2.

[0046] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage system 100 includes a fastener 4. At least a portion of the fastener 4 is located on one side of the box-retrieving mechanism 2 in the second direction. At least a portion of the fastener 4 forms an anti-collision mark 3, or the anti-collision mark 3 is disposed on the fastener 4.

[0047] Wherein, at least a portion of the fixing member 4 is located on one side of the box retrieval mechanism 2 in the second direction, which can be understood as: a portion of the fixing member 4 is located on one side of the box retrieval mechanism 2 in the second direction; or, the entire fixing member 4 is located on one side of the box retrieval mechanism 2 in the second direction.

[0048] At least a portion of the fastener 4 forms an anti-collision mark 3, which can be understood as: at least a portion of the fastener 4 is used as an anti-collision mark 3. At this time, when the handling equipment identifies the portion of the fastener 4 that serves as an anti-collision mark 3, it determines its movement path to avoid the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0049] The anti-collision mark 3 is set on the fixing component 4. This can be understood as the anti-collision mark 3 being fixed to the fixing component 4 by means of adhesive, printing, fasteners, etc., such as bolts, screws, rivets, etc. When the handling equipment recognizes the anti-collision mark on the fixing component 4, it determines its movement path to avoid the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0050] By setting a fixing member 4 and forming at least a portion of the fixing member 4 into an anti-collision mark 3, or by setting the anti-collision mark 3 on the fixing member 4, it is convenient to set the anti-collision mark 3 in a position that is easily identifiable by the handling equipment. This facilitates the handling equipment to quickly and accurately identify the anti-collision mark 3, thereby more effectively preventing the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0051] In some other examples of embodiments of this application, the anti-collision mark 3 is a QR code or an image mark. The image mark can be: black and yellow stripes, black and white stripes, black and white squares, etc.

[0052] The QR code or image label can be fixed to the support frame 1, the box-retrieving mechanism 2, or the ground by pasting, printing, or fasteners. At this time, a camera can be installed on the handling equipment. By recognizing the QR code or image label, which serves as an anti-collision marker 3, the camera can determine the relative position between the handling equipment and the box-retrieving mechanism 2, and determine the movement path of the handling equipment to avoid collision between the goods carried by the handling equipment and the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0053] By setting the anti-collision mark 3 as a QR code or image mark, the specific structure of the storage system 100 can be changed without changing it. Only the QR code or image mark needs to be set on the storage system 100, which helps to reduce the cost of the storage system 100.

[0054] It should be noted that when the QR code or image label is set on the support frame 1 or the box-retrieving mechanism 2, the camera of the handling equipment is preferably set on the front side of its movement direction, that is, the camera faces the front side of the handling equipment in the movement direction, so as to identify the QR code or image label on the support frame 1 or the box-retrieving mechanism 2. When the QR code or image label is set on the ground, the camera of the handling equipment can be set on the bottom of the handling equipment, that is, the camera faces downwards, so as to identify the QR code on the support frame 1 or the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0055] The location where the camera can recognize the QR code or image mark is taken as the recognition location. The recognition location and the box retrieval mechanism 2 are located on the same side of the support frame 1. The distance between the recognition location and the support frame 1 in the second direction is D1. The distance between the side of the box retrieval mechanism 2 away from the support frame 1 in the second direction and the support frame 1 in the second direction is D2. Then D1 is greater than or equal to D2.

[0056] For example, the identification position is located on the front side of the support frame 1, and the box-retrieving mechanism 2 is located on the front side of the support frame 1. The distance between the identification position and the support frame 1 in the front-back direction is D1, and the distance between the front side of the box-retrieving mechanism 2 and the support frame 1 in the front-back direction is D2, where D1 is greater than D2. The front-back direction can be consistent with the first direction, and the left-right direction can be consistent with the second direction. The box-retrieving mechanism 1 is positioned to protrude from the front side of the support frame 1.

[0057] In some specific application scenarios, the process of the handling equipment moving from the right front of the box-retrieving mechanism 2 to the box-retrieving mechanism 2 will be used as an example for illustration:

[0058] The handling equipment first moves backward to the right side of the container retrieval mechanism 2, and then moves left to the container retrieval mechanism 2. During the leftward movement, if the handling equipment reaches the identification position, it replans its movement path. For example, after recognizing the QR code, the handling equipment first moves forward a certain distance to avoid the identification position, and then moves left to the container retrieval mechanism 2. The handling equipment can only avoid the identification position when it is in front of it. When the handling equipment is in front of the identification position, it is always in front of the container retrieval mechanism 2, ensuring that the goods carried by the handling equipment will not collide with the container retrieval mechanism 2.

[0059] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the fixing member 4 forms a collision protection part 401. The collision protection part 401 and the box retrieval mechanism 2 are located on the same side of the support frame 1 in the first direction. The collision protection part 401 is used to block the handling equipment.

[0060] Wherein, at least a portion of the fastener 4 forms a collision protection part 401, which can be understood as: a portion of the fastener 4 is used as a collision protection part 401, in which case the portion of the fastener 4 used as a collision protection part 401 plays the role of blocking the transport equipment, while the remaining portion of the fastener 4 does not play the role of blocking the transport equipment; or, the entire fastener 4 is used as a collision protection part 401, in which case the entire fastener 4 plays the role of blocking the transport equipment.

[0061] For example, the anti-collision part 401 and the box retrieval mechanism 2 are both located on the front side of the support frame 1, and the anti-collision part 401 is provided on both the left and right sides of the box retrieval mechanism 2.

[0062] By forming at least a portion of the fixing member 4 into a collision-resistant part 401, which is used to block the handling equipment, when the goods carried by the handling equipment are about to collide with the box-retrieving mechanism 2, the fixing member 4 can directly prevent the handling equipment from continuing to move, thereby more effectively avoiding the collision between the goods carried by the handling equipment and the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0063] In some specific application scenarios, the process of the handling equipment moving from the left front of the box-retrieving mechanism 2 to the box-retrieving mechanism 2 will be used as an example for illustration:

[0064] The handling equipment first moves backward to the left side of the container retrieval mechanism 2, and then moves to the right to the container retrieval mechanism 2. During the rightward movement of the handling equipment, if it collides with the anti-collision part 401, it is determined that the goods carried by the handling equipment will collide with the container retrieval mechanism 2 along this movement path. The handling equipment then replans its movement path. For example, after colliding with the anti-collision part 401, the handling equipment first moves forward a certain distance to avoid the anti-collision part 401, and then moves to the right to the container retrieval mechanism 2.

[0065] Of course, in some other embodiments, the fixing member 4 may not have the function of blocking the handling equipment. In this case, the handling equipment only determines its movement path by recognizing the anti-collision mark 3 to avoid the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the box picking mechanism 2.

[0066] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the fastener 4 and the support frame 1 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. That is to say, the fastener 4 and the support frame 1 are separate components.

[0067] For example, the box retrieval mechanism 2 is located on the front side of the support frame 1, and the fixing member 4 is located on the front side of the support frame 1.

[0068] By arranging the fastener 4 and the support frame 1 at intervals along the first direction, the setting position of the fastener 4 is not restricted by the support frame 1. The fastener 4 can be set in a position that is easily recognized by the handling equipment, thereby more effectively preventing the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the box-retrieving mechanism 2.

[0069] In other examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fastener 4 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. That is to say, the fastener 4 and the support frame 1 are fixed as one unit.

[0070] The fastener 4 and the support frame 1 can be welded, bonded or connected by fasteners, such as bolts, screws, rivets, etc.

[0071] The fastener 4 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1, so that the support frame 1 can serve as the fixing base for the fastener 4, making it convenient to install and fix the fastener 4.

[0072] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the side of the anti-collision part 401 away from the support frame in the second direction and the support frame 1 in the second direction is L1, and the distance between the side of the box-retrieving mechanism 2 away from the support frame 1 in the second direction and the support frame 1 in the second direction is L2, and L1 is greater than or equal to L2.

[0073] For example, the anti-collision part 401 is located on the front side of the support frame 1, and the box retrieval mechanism 2 is located on the front side of the support frame 1. The distance between the front side of the anti-collision part 401 and the support frame 1 in the front-back direction is L1, and the distance between the front side of the box retrieval mechanism 2 and the support frame 1 in the front-back direction is L2, where L1 is greater than L2.

[0074] In some specific application scenarios, the process of the handling equipment moving from the right front of the box-retrieving mechanism 2 to the box-retrieving mechanism 2 will be used as an example for illustration:

[0075] The handling equipment first moves backward to the right side of the container retrieval mechanism 2, and then moves left to the container retrieval mechanism 2. During the leftward movement, if the handling equipment collides with the anti-collision part 401, the handling equipment replans its movement path. For example, after colliding with the anti-collision part 401, the handling equipment first moves forward a certain distance to avoid it, and then moves left to the container retrieval mechanism 2. The handling equipment can only avoid the anti-collision part 401 when it is in front of it. When the handling equipment is in front of the anti-collision part 401, it is always in front of the container retrieval mechanism 2, ensuring that the goods carried by the handling equipment will not collide with the container retrieval mechanism 2.

[0076] By setting L1 to be greater than or equal to L2, the goods on the handling equipment will not collide with the picking mechanism 2 if the handling equipment does not collide with the anti-collision part 401. This effectively prevents the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the picking mechanism 2.

[0077] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixing member 4 is a crash barrier. The crash barrier and the box retrieval mechanism 2 are located on the same side of the support frame 1 in the first direction, and the crash barrier forms a crash barrier mark.

[0078] By setting the fastener 4 as a collision avoidance frame, the fastener 4 has better structural strength, thereby preventing the fastener 4 from being damaged by the handling equipment when it collides with the handling equipment, and improving the reliability of the storage system 100.

[0079] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the anti-collision frame includes an anti-collision beam 41 and multiple support legs 42. The anti-collision beam 41 extends along a first direction, and the multiple support legs 42 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The anti-collision beam 41 is connected to the multiple support legs 42.

[0080] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are two support legs 42, the anti-collision beam 41 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the two support legs 42 are arranged at intervals in the front-to-back direction. The anti-collision beam 41 and the two support legs 42 form a U-shaped frame.

[0081] The above-mentioned structure of the anti-collision frame ensures the structural strength of the anti-collision frame while simplifying its structure and reducing its cost, thereby reducing the cost of the warehousing system 100.

[0082] In other examples of embodiments of this application, the bumper can also be configured with other structures, for example, the bumper can be configured as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structure shown can be either a rectangular frame, a T-shaped frame, or other structures.

[0083] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the crash barrier is provided with a fixing part 43, which is used to connect with the base. The fixing part 43 can be directly connected to the base, or indirectly connected through a connector; the base can be the ground, a support, a floor, etc.

[0084] For example, the bottom of the outrigger 42 is provided with a fixing plate, which forms a fixing part 43. The fixing plate is connected to the ground by anchor bolts.

[0085] By setting a fixing part 43 at the bottom of the anti-collision frame and connecting the fixing part 43 with the base, the fixing stability of the anti-collision frame can be improved, and the reliability of the storage system 100 can be improved.

[0086] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the anti-collision frame is connected to the support frame 1, it can also be connected to the base through the fixing part 43, thereby improving the fixing stability of the support frame 1 and further improving the reliability of the storage system 100.

[0087] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 1 includes two columns 11 and a crossbeam 12. The two columns 11 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the crossbeam 12 extends along the second direction. The two ends of the crossbeam 12 are respectively connected to the top of the two columns 11. The support frame 1 is a portal frame as a whole.

[0088] The support frame 1 has a simple overall structure and is easy to design and manufacture.

[0089] In some examples of embodiments of this application, the warehousing system 100 further includes a receiving point, which is located on one side of the support frame 1 in a first direction, and the box retrieval mechanism 2 is located away from or close to the receiving point in the first direction.

[0090] Specifically, when the retrieval mechanism 2 is positioned away from the receiving point in the first direction, the receiving point can be a temporary storage location for placing goods, a receiving trolley for carrying goods, or a picking location on a picking platform. When the retrieval mechanism 2 is positioned close to the receiving point in the first direction, the receiving point can be a mobile shelf.

[0091] By setting the container retrieval mechanism 2 away from or close to the receiving point in the first direction, it is convenient for the container retrieval mechanism 2 to retrieve and place goods at the receiving point.

[0092] In some examples of embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the warehousing system 100 also includes a picking platform 13, which has at least one picking position 131, forming a receiving point.

[0093] The picking platform 13 is provided with at least one picking position 131, which can be understood as: the picking platform 13 has one picking position 131; or, the picking platform 13 has two or more picking positions 131.

[0094] For example, the picking platform 13 has three picking positions 131.

[0095] By setting at least one picking station 131 on the picking platform 13, the working efficiency of the warehousing system 100 can be improved.

[0096] The box retrieval mechanism 2 includes a carrier frame, a drive assembly, and a pick-and-place assembly. The carrier frame is movably connected to the support frame 1 in a vertical direction. The carrier frame protrudes from the support frame 1 on the side away from the receiving point in a first direction. The drive assembly is used to drive the carrier frame to move in a vertical direction. The pick-and-place assembly is mounted on the carrier frame and is used to transport goods between the handling equipment and the picking station 131.

[0097] In some examples of embodiments of this application, the warehousing system includes shelves and handling equipment for moving goods between the shelves and the picking mechanism 2.

[0098] In some specific application scenarios, let's take the example of order items moving from the shelf to the order box to illustrate:

[0099] In response to order instructions, the handling equipment moves the boxes containing the ordered items from the shelf to the picking mechanism 2. The picking mechanism 2 then transfers the boxes to the picking platform 13, where the ordered items are sorted into order boxes manually or automatically, thus achieving the sorting of items corresponding to the order. During the movement of the handling equipment from the shelf to the picking mechanism 2, anti-collision markers 3 are used to prevent the goods carried by the handling equipment from colliding with the picking mechanism 2.
