[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics technology, specifically to a smart logistics warehousing shuttle handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Warehousing and logistics refers to the storage, safekeeping, loading, unloading, and distribution of goods using self-built or leased warehouses and sites. The traditional definition of warehousing is based on the perspective of material reserves. However, modern "warehousing" is not the traditional "warehouse" or "warehouse management," but rather warehousing in the context of economic globalization and supply chain integration. It is warehousing within the modern logistics system, and in order to achieve better storage, a storage and retrieval device for logistics warehouse racking is needed.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 220683628 U discloses a storage and retrieval device for a logistics warehouse rack, including a base plate, a lifting mechanism, a telescopic mechanism, and a locking mechanism; the base plate has symmetrically distributed lifting platforms fixedly connected to its upper front side, a rack plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting platform on the right side, and a rack fixedly connected to its upper rear side; the lifting mechanism is located inside the lifting platform on the left side, and its right end is engaged with the rack plate.

[0004] The storage and retrieval devices of the logistics warehouse racks in the above patents require a storage and retrieval device to be set up in front of each storage rack. This requires a large number of storage and retrieval devices, resulting in a large amount of space being occupied and the inability to achieve free shuttle and goods storage and retrieval functions; and the goods that need to be retrieved cannot be retrieved independently. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart logistics warehousing shuttle handling device that can freely shuttle between storage racks and retrieve goods from any location; and eliminates the need for additional storage and retrieval devices, simplifying the warehousing and retrieval mechanism and saving a significant amount of space; thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A smart logistics warehousing shuttle handling device includes two symmetrically arranged storage shelves, each of which has multiple storage compartments for easy storage of goods;

[0008] A lower profile slide rail and an upper profile slide rail are installed on the side of each of the two storage shelves that are close to each other; a shuttle mechanism is installed on the lower profile slide rail and the upper profile slide rail; and a picking component is installed on the shuttle mechanism.

[0009] The shuttle mechanism includes an upper mounting plate installed on top of the linear drive module and a lower mounting plate installed at the bottom of the linear drive module; the lower mounting plate and the upper mounting plate are slidably connected to the upper profile slide rail and the lower profile slide rail, respectively.

[0010] The bottom of the lower profile slide rail is fixed with a toothed plate, which meshes with the drive gear; the drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, thus fixing the drive motor to the lower mounting plate.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top of both the lower mounting plate and the upper mounting plate are provided with two rectangular grooves, and the rectangular groove at the top of the lower mounting plate is provided with a lower guide wheel; the rectangular groove at the top of the upper mounting plate is provided with an upper guide wheel.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top of both the lower profile slide rail and the upper profile slide rail is provided with an arc-shaped groove that cooperates with the lower guide wheel and the upper guide wheel to slide; a sliding groove is provided on the side of both the lower profile slide rail and the upper profile slide rail away from the storage shelf, and the sliding groove is slidably connected to the guide rail; there are two guide rails, which are respectively fixed inside the lower mounting plate and the upper mounting plate.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a sliding seat is fitted on the drive part of the linear drive module; the sliding seat is fixed to the part picking assembly.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the component picking assembly includes a carrier plate, two slide rails are installed above the carrier plate, and slide blocks are slidably connected to the two slide rails. A rotary cylinder is fixed on the slide blocks. A cylinder is fixed on the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder, and a drive plate is connected to the cylinder rod of the cylinder.

[0015] The drive plate is arranged parallel to the cylinder, and a fixing frame is fixed on the outside of the drive plate; a pneumatic gripper is also fixed on one side of the fixing frame, and a clamping plate is fixed on the pneumatic gripper.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, when the shuttle mechanism is in operation, the drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear meshes with the tooth plate to transmit power, so that the lower guide wheel on the lower mounting plate and the upper guide wheel on the upper mounting plate slide along the lower profile slide rail and the upper profile slide rail, thereby realizing that the shuttle mechanism can shuttle arbitrarily between multiple storage compartments on the storage shelf.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, when gripping goods, a rotary cylinder drives a synchronous pulley to rotate, which in turn drives a synchronous belt to move. Driven by the synchronous belt, the slide moves along the slide rail into the storage compartment of the storage shelf, and the pneumatic gripper drives the clamping plate to grip the goods. Then, when the slide moves back along the slide rail, the goods are clamped onto the carrier plate, thereby preventing them from falling during the movement of the shuttle mechanism.

[0020] 3. In this utility model, when the lever of the cylinder retracts, it can drive the drive plate and the fixed frame to slide left and right, thereby adjusting the position of the pneumatic gripper relative to the goods, thus facilitating the precise clamping of the goods.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-10 In this embodiment of the present invention, a smart logistics warehousing shuttle handling device includes two symmetrically arranged storage shelves 1, each storage shelf 1 having multiple storage compartments for easy storage of goods.

[0036] A lower profile slide rail 2 and an upper profile slide rail 3 are installed on the side of the two storage shelves 1 that are close to each other; a shuttle mechanism 4 is installed on the lower profile slide rail 2 and the upper profile slide rail 3; and a picking component 5 is installed on the shuttle mechanism 4.

[0037] The shuttle mechanism 4 includes an upper mounting plate 47 mounted on top of the linear drive module 46 and a lower mounting plate 41 mounted on the bottom of the linear drive module 46; the lower mounting plate 41 and the upper mounting plate 47 are slidably connected to the upper profile slide rail 3 and the lower profile slide rail 2, respectively.

[0038] The bottom of the lower profile slide rail 2 is fixed with a toothed plate 6, which meshes with the drive gear 45; the drive gear 45 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 44, and the drive motor 44 is fixed to the lower mounting plate 41.

[0039] As a further explanation of this embodiment, a delivery window is opened at any or suitable position of the two storage shelves 1. The two storage shelves 1 are set opposite each other. The shuttle mechanism 4 and the picking component 5 installed on each storage shelf 1 pick up the goods on the opposite storage shelf 1 and then move to the position of the delivery window to deliver the goods; in this way, the goods can be transferred out.

[0040] It should also be noted that the distance between the two storage shelves 1 is greater than the length of the carrier plate 51, so that the shuttle mechanism 4 can carry the retrieval component 5 between the two storage shelves 1.

[0041] Please see the appendix Figure 5-6 In embodiments 9-10, both the lower mounting plate 41 and the upper mounting plate 47 have two rectangular slots on their tops, and the lower mounting plate 41 has a lower guide wheel 42 in the rectangular slot on its top; the upper mounting plate 47 has an upper guide wheel 48 in the rectangular slot on its top.

[0042] More specifically, the top of both the lower profile slide rail 2 and the upper profile slide rail 3 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that cooperates with the lower guide wheel 42 and the upper guide wheel 48 for sliding; a sliding groove is provided on the side of the lower profile slide rail 2 and the upper profile slide rail 3 away from the storage shelf 1, and the sliding groove is slidably connected to the guide rail 43; there are two guide rails 43, which are respectively fixed inside the lower mounting plate 41 and the upper mounting plate 47; a sliding seat 49 is installed on the drive part of the linear drive module 46; the sliding seat 49 is fixed to the picking assembly 5.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, when the shuttle mechanism 4 is in operation, the drive motor 44 drives the drive gear 45 to rotate, and the drive gear 45 meshes with the toothed plate 6 to transmit power, so that the lower guide wheel 42 on the lower mounting plate 41 and the upper guide wheel 48 on the upper mounting plate 47 slide along the lower profile slide rail 2 and the upper profile slide rail 3, thereby enabling the shuttle mechanism 4 to shuttle arbitrarily between multiple storage compartments on the storage shelf 1.

[0044] The guide rails 43 on the inner sides of the lower mounting plate 41 and the upper mounting plate 47 slide along the lower profile slide rail 2 or the upper profile slide rail 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the shuttle mechanism 4 during operation.

[0045] Please see the appendix Figure 7-8 In this embodiment, the component 5 includes a carrier plate 51, two slide rails 57 are installed above the carrier plate 51, and slide blocks are slidably connected to the two slide rails 57. A rotary cylinder 52 is fixed on the slide block. A cylinder 53 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder 52, and a drive plate 511 is connected to the cylinder rod.

[0046] The drive plate 511 is arranged parallel to the cylinder 53, and a fixing frame 54 is fixed on the outside of the drive plate 511; a pneumatic gripper 55 is also fixed on one side of the fixing frame 54, and a clamping plate 56 is fixed on the pneumatic gripper 55.

[0047] More specifically, the slide block fixed to the bottom of the rotary cylinder 52 is also fixed to one side of the synchronous belt 58; synchronous pulleys 59 are installed at both ends of the synchronous belt 58; the two synchronous pulleys 59 are respectively installed at both ends of the carrier plate 51, and one of the synchronous pulleys 59 is also connected to the rotary motor 510 for transmission.

[0048] A clearance is provided between the cylinder 53, the fixed bracket 54 and the drive plate 511 and the carrier plate 51 to facilitate rotation.

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, when the goods are gripped, the rotary cylinder 52 drives a synchronous wheel 59 to rotate, and with the cooperation of another synchronous wheel 59, it drives the synchronous belt 58 to move. Driven by the synchronous belt 58, the slide moves along the slide rail 57 into the storage compartment in the storage rack 1, and the pneumatic gripper 55 drives the clamping plate 56 to grip the goods. Then, when the slide moves back along the slide rail 57, the goods are clamped onto the carrier plate 51, thereby preventing them from falling during the movement of the shuttle mechanism 4.

[0050] When the lever of cylinder 53 retracts, it can drive the drive plate 511 and the fixed frame 54 to slide left and right, thereby adjusting the position of the pneumatic gripper 55 relative to the goods, so as to facilitate the precise gripping of the goods.

[0051] More specifically, cylinder 53 is also connected to rotary cylinder 52. When rotary cylinder 52 is activated, it can drive cylinder 53 to rotate, so that pneumatic gripper 55 can rotate at the same time. This is beneficial for adjusting the relative angle of clamping plate 56 when gripping goods.

[0052] As a further illustration of the above embodiments, the technical solution provides an implementable structural improvement method. The device picks up or stores goods by means of an intelligent control system. Since the logistics control system is existing technology, it can be set according to requirements. The following implementation method is only briefly described and not elaborated.

[0053] Positioning and Navigation Systems

[0054] Laser navigation: Shuttle mechanisms and pickup assemblies are typically equipped with lidar, which creates a map of the surrounding environment by emitting a laser beam and measuring the time it takes for the reflected light to travel. Based on this map, the shuttle mechanism and pickup assembly can accurately determine their position and direction of travel, thus navigating precisely to the designated pickup or storage location.

[0055] Visual navigation: This system uses cameras to capture images of the surrounding environment and employs image processing and computer vision algorithms to identify features such as shelves, goods, and landmarks for location and navigation. Simultaneously, the vision system can also be used to identify the location, shape, and status of goods, helping shuttle mechanisms and picking components accurately grasp them.

[0056] Inertial navigation: Using an inertial measurement unit (IMU), the acceleration and angular velocity of the shuttle mechanism and the pick-up assembly are measured to calculate their motion state and position. Inertial navigation systems can provide high positioning accuracy in a short time and are unaffected by external environmental interference. They can supplement laser navigation and visual navigation, improving the reliability of positioning.

[0057] Cargo Identification and Sensing System

[0058] Visual recognition: Cameras capture images of goods, and deep learning algorithms are then used to analyze and process these images to identify the type, shape, size, location, and any damage to the goods. For example, a well-trained convolutional neural network model can quickly and accurately identify different types of goods, even if the placement angle or lighting conditions change.

[0059] Laser ranging and scanning: Laser sensors can measure the distance between the shuttle mechanism and the picking component and the goods. By scanning the surface of the goods, the three-dimensional contour information of the goods can be obtained, further refining the position and posture of the goods, and providing accurate data support for the grasping action of the shuttle mechanism and the picking component.

[0060] Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): RFID tags are installed on goods or shelves, and shuttle mechanisms and retrieval components are equipped with RFID readers. When the shuttle mechanism and retrieval components approach the goods, the reader can read the information in the tag, quickly and accurately identifying the goods' identity, specifications, storage location, and other detailed data, enabling rapid location and tracking of the goods.

[0061] Path planning and scheduling system

[0062] Path planning: Based on the current positions of the shuttle mechanism and pickup components, the location of the target goods, and the warehouse environment map, the path planning algorithm plans an optimal travel path, avoiding obstacles and other shuttle mechanisms and pickup components, ensuring that the shuttle mechanism and pickup components can reach the pickup or storage location efficiently and safely. Path planning algorithms typically use classic algorithms such as A* and Dijkstra's algorithm, dynamically adjusted in conjunction with real-time environmental information.

[0063] Task scheduling: The warehouse management system rationally allocates tasks to various shuttle mechanisms and picking components based on order information and the actual situation of the warehouse, ensuring that the shuttle mechanisms and picking components can work together to efficiently complete picking and storage tasks. For example, when multiple shuttle mechanisms and picking components need to use the same aisle or shelf at the same time, the task scheduling system will make reasonable arrangements according to priority and time sequence to avoid conflicts and congestion.

[0064] Communication and Network Systems

[0065] Wireless communication: The shuttle mechanism and retrieval components communicate in real time with the warehouse management system and other devices via wireless communication technologies (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.) to receive task instructions, upload status information, and environmental data. The stability and bandwidth of the wireless communication network are crucial for the efficient operation of the shuttle mechanism and retrieval components, ensuring that they can obtain the latest information in a timely manner and make corresponding decisions.

[0066] Internet of Things (IoT) technology connects shuttle mechanisms, picking components, shelves, goods, and other equipment into a smart network, enabling interconnection and information sharing between devices. Through the IoT platform, managers can monitor the entire warehousing system's operational status in real time, remotely control and manage shuttle mechanisms and picking components, improving the efficiency and intelligence of warehousing management.

[0067] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the shuttle mechanism 4 is in motion, the drive motor 44 drives the drive gear 45 to rotate. The drive gear 45 meshes with the toothed plate 6 to transmit power, so that the lower guide wheel 42 on the lower mounting plate 41 and the upper guide wheel 48 on the upper mounting plate 47 slide along the lower profile slide rail 2 and the upper profile slide rail 3, thereby enabling the shuttle mechanism 4 to shuttle arbitrarily between multiple storage compartments on the storage shelf 1.

[0068] When gripping goods, the rotary cylinder 52 drives a synchronous pulley 59 to rotate, and with the cooperation of another synchronous pulley 59, drives the synchronous belt 58 to move. Driven by the synchronous belt 58, the slide moves along the slide rail 57 into the storage compartment in the storage rack 1, and the pneumatic gripper 55 drives the clamping plate 56 to grip the goods. Then, when the slide moves back along the slide rail 57, the goods are clamped onto the carrier plate 51, thereby preventing them from falling during the movement of the shuttle mechanism 4.

[0069] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0070] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
