[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application discloses a vertical warehouse, including a placement section, a storage section 1, a handling section 2, a loading section 3, and a processing equipment 4.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the placement part 5 is specifically designed as a long pallet, which can be used to stack long raw materials of 3-20m.

[0035] The storage unit 1 has a plurality of storage cells 11, which are specifically implemented as elongated squares for accommodating at least one placement part, that is, the length and width of the storage cell 11 are matched with the length and width of the placement part.

[0036] The handling unit 2 is located on the side of the storage unit 1, specifically on the side where the placement unit enters and exits the storage unit, enabling the handling unit to move the placement unit. The handling unit can be a forklift (existing technology, see CN116276251A), which can cooperate with the storage unit to move the placement unit, realizing the storage and retrieval of long raw materials.

[0037] The loading section 3 has a preparation area 31 and a feeding area 32. The preparation area 31 is disposed within at least one of the storage units, and the feeding area 32 is disposed within at least another storage unit.
