[0002] Intelligent warehousing is a kind of intelligent and high efficiency warehousing operation for material, and it intelligently manages and tracks the warehousing, storage and delivery of material, greatly improves the efficiency of internal material management of enterprise. With the improvement of intelligent level of machining, intelligent warehousing has been gradually applied in various manufacturing industries. For automobile electronic components, semiconductor components and other materials, in order to improve the efficiency of material transfer, the material belt is usually wound on the material tray, and the carrier is needed for batch transfer when it flows on the production line.

[0003] When the material needs to be delivered, the material tray loaded with material is taken off from the shelf by RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) and transferred to the warehouse end to wait for taking material. When taking material, the material tray is put into the carrier for transfer, such as material box. In the traditional warehouse design, the material boxes are queued in turn at the material taking port of the warehouse end, waiting for the robot to put the material tray into it, and in order to avoid blocking the material taking port, the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) needs to frequently run back and forth between the warehouse and the production line to carry material, and the amount of material carried each time is small, and the work efficiency is not high.

The lifting driver lifts the magazine intercepting rod to intercept the magazine, so that the magazine stops moving forward. Then, the lateral pressing driver drives the lateral pressing plate to press one side of the magazine, further locking the position of the magazine, which is simple in structure and high in working efficiency.

[0017] In one of the embodiments, the magazine transfer manipulator is provided with a supporting plate for extending into the bottom of the magazine and lifting the magazine; the magazine cylinder line is provided with a magazine lifting mechanism; the magazine lifting mechanism comprises a magazine top plate and a magazine lifting driver connected with the magazine top plate; the magazine lifting driver is used for the magazine top plate to lift the magazine to form a space between the bottom of the magazine and the cylinder for the supporting plate to insert. The magazine transfer manipulator realizes the material transfer by lifting the bottom of the magazine with the supporting plate, and correspondingly, when the magazine transfer manipulator grabs the magazine, the magazine lifting driver drives the magazine top plate to rise, so that the bottom of the magazine forms an overhead area for the supporting plate to insert, which is simple in structure and high in working efficiency.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, the first tray intercepting assembly comprises a first blocking plate and a first blocking driver connected with the first blocking plate; the first blocking driver is used to drive the first blocking plate to move to a preset code scanning station to intercept the tray.

The second blocking plate driver drives the second blocking plate to sink, and the labeling blocking shafts are used to intercept the tray moving to the labeling station. Since the labeling sensor is provided in multiple numbers and is sequentially and spacedly arranged along the conveying direction of the first discharging conveyor belt, the labeling sensors triggered by trays of different diameters are different. Therefore, under the premise that the size types of the trays are known, the size of the current intercepted tray can be determined through the signal condition fed back by the labeling sensor, and the axial position of the current tray can be further determined, so that the labeling machine can perform the labeling action according to the labeling coordinates corresponding to the preset size of the tray, and the working efficiency is high.

The third blocking plate driver drives the third blocking plate to sink, and the grabbing blocking shafts are used to intercept the tray moving to the boxing station. Since the grabbing sensor is provided in multiple numbers and is sequentially and spacedly arranged along the conveying direction of the first discharging conveyor belt, the grabbing sensors triggered by trays of different diameters are different. Therefore, under the premise that the size types of the trays are known, the size of the current intercepted tray can be determined through the signal condition fed back by the grabbing sensor, and the axial position of the current tray can be further determined, so that the grabbing manipulator can perform the grabbing action according to the grabbing coordinates corresponding to the preset size of the tray, and the working efficiency is high.

The multiple first discharge conveyors are used to consider that the action mode of the grabbing manipulator is different when the trays of different sizes are boxed; if multiple sizes of trays need to be compatible at the same time, the working efficiency of the grabbing manipulator will be inevitably reduced, therefore, the size of the tray can be determined after the tray passes the code scanning and recognition, and then the last boxing process is performed according to the size of the different trays, thereby improving the working efficiency of the grabbing manipulator.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the number of the first discharge conveyors is multiple; the inlet end of each first discharge conveyor is multiple and arranged in layers; the box type discharge device of the intelligent warehouse further comprises a second discharge conveyor, a fourth tray intercepting assembly located at the output end of the second discharge conveyor, and a second material moving manipulator; the second discharge conveyor is connected to the first discharge conveyor located in one of the upper layer or the lower layer. Considering that there are some materials that need to be urgently discharged in the actual operation process, in this case, if the AGV needs to wait for batch material, it cannot meet the demand of the production line for emergency materials, therefore, for the demand of emergency discharge, after the RGV grabs the material, the tray is placed into the second discharge conveyor and directly flows to the emergency boxing station, under the interception and positioning assistance of the fourth tray intercepting assembly, the second material moving manipulator boxes the tray to wait for manual or AGV material.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 10 , it is a box type discharging device 100 of intelligent warehousing of an embodiment of the present application.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , the box type discharging device 100 of intelligent warehousing comprises: a first discharging conveyor belt 10, a code scanning module 20 located on the first discharging conveyor belt 10, a label sticking module 30 located on the first discharging conveyor belt 10, a material box drum line 40 connected to the first discharging conveyor belt 10, a boxing module 50, a material box temporary storage rack 60, an empty box temporary storage rack 70, and a material box transfer manipulator 80. Among them, the first discharging conveyor belt 10 is used to receive the material tray taken down from the shelf by the RGV. The code scanning module 20 is used to scan and identify the material information of the material tray on the first discharging conveyor belt 10. The label sticking module 30 is used to stick labels on the material tray. The material box drum line 40 is used to convey the material box. The boxing module 50 is used to put the labeled material tray into the material box. The material box temporary storage rack 60 is used to store the material box after loading to wait for the AGV to back the material. The empty box temporary storage rack 70 is used to store the empty box. The material box transfer manipulator 80 is used to transfer the material box, that is, to realize the transfer operation between the material box drum line 40, the material box temporary storage rack 60, the empty box temporary storage rack 70, and the AGV.

[0051] In the following, the box type discharging device 100 of intelligent warehousing described above will be further described in conjunction with Figures 1 to 10 .

[0052] As shown in Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment, the first discharge conveyor 10 is designed in multiple sections, and each section of the first discharge conveyor 10 is provided with a separate driving force.

[0053] As shown, Figure 2 , the code scanning module 20 comprises a first tray intercepting assembly 21 and a first code scanner 22. The first tray intercepting assembly 21 is used to intercept the tray for the first code scanner 22 to scan and identify the material information of the tray.

[0054] Further, as shown, Figure 2 , in the embodiment, the first tray intercepting assembly 21 comprises a first blocking plate 211 and a first blocking plate driver 212 connected to the first blocking plate 211. The first blocking plate driver 212 is used to drive the first blocking plate 211 to move to a preset scanning station to intercept the tray (for example, in the embodiment, the movement direction of the first blocking plate 211 is up and down). The first blocking plate driver 212 drives the first blocking plate 211 to extend, thereby intercepting the tray moving to the scanning station, which is simple in structure and high in working efficiency.

[0055] As shown, Figure 2 , the labeling module 30 comprises a second tray intercepting assembly 31 and a labeling machine 32. The second tray intercepting assembly 31 is used to intercept the tray after scanning for the labeling machine 32 to attach the label of the label material flow transfer destination.

[0056] As shown, Figure 2 , Figure 5 , and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the second tray interception assembly 31 includes: a second baffle plate 311, a second baffle driver 312 connected to the second baffle plate 311, and a labeling sensor 313 connected to the labeling machine 32. The second baffle plate 311 is provided with a plurality of cylindrical labeling baffle shafts 3111. The second baffle driver 312 is used to drive the second baffle plate 311 to sink so as to intercept the tray through the labeling baffle shafts 3111. The labeling sensors 313 are multiple and are arranged sequentially at intervals along the conveying direction of the first discharge conveyor belt 10. Each labeling sensor 313 includes: a labeling transmitter located on one side of the first discharge conveyor belt 10 and a labeling receiver located on the other side of the first discharge conveyor belt 10. The labeling receiver is electrically connected to the labeling machine 32. The second baffle driver 312 drives the second baffle plate 311 to sink, using the labeling baffle shafts 3111 to intercept the tray moving to the labeling station. Since there are multiple labeling sensors 313 arranged sequentially and at intervals along the conveying direction of the first discharge conveyor belt 10, different diameter trays trigger different labeling sensors 313. Therefore, given that the size and type of the trays are known, the size of the currently intercepted tray can be determined by the signal feedback from the labeling sensors 313. Furthermore, the axis position of the current tray can be determined, allowing the labeling machine 32 to quickly perform the labeling action according to the preset labeling coordinates corresponding to the tray size, resulting in high work efficiency. Figure 6 For example, when a small tray L1 is intercepted, labeling sensor a1 is triggered, but labeling sensor a2 is not triggered. When a large tray L2 is intercepted, both labeling sensors a1 and a2 are triggered.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the hopper roller conveyor 40 is an active roller conveyor. Figure 7 For example, the boxes at the left end of the material box roller line 40 are empty boxes, the boxes in the middle are located at the packing station and are in the packing process, and the boxes at the right end are full boxes waiting to be picked up by the material box transfer robot 80.

[0058] To ensure that empty hoppers can accurately and stably remain at the packing station, in this embodiment, the hopper roller conveyor 40 is equipped with a hopper positioning mechanism (not shown). The hopper positioning mechanism is located at a pre-set packing station on the hopper roller conveyor 40 to position the hoppers waiting to be loaded. The hopper positioning mechanism locks the hoppers at the packing station, improving the accuracy of hopper packing.

[0059] Further, in the embodiment, the material box positioning mechanism comprises a material box intercepting assembly and a material box pressing assembly. The material box intercepting assembly comprises a material box stopper and a lifting driver connected to the material box stopper (e.g. driving the stopper to lift by a cylinder). The material box pressing assembly comprises a lateral pressing plate and a lateral pressing driver connected to the lateral pressing plate (e.g. driving the lateral pressing plate to move laterally by a cylinder). The lifting driver lifts the material box stopper to intercept the material box so that the material box stops advancing. Then, the lateral pressing driver drives the lateral pressing plate to press one side of the material box, further locking the position of the material box, which is simple in structure and high in working efficiency.

[0060] As shown in Figure 3 , the boxing module 50 comprises a third material tray intercepting assembly 51 and a first material transferring manipulator 52 located on the first discharging conveyor 10. The third material tray intercepting assembly 51 is used to intercept the labeled material tray for the first material transferring manipulator 52 to transfer the material tray into the material box.

[0061] In the embodiment, the structure of the third material tray intercepting assembly 51 is similar to that of the second material tray intercepting assembly 31. The third material tray intercepting assembly 51 comprises a third material stopping plate, a third material stopping driver connected to the third material stopping plate, and a grabbing sensor connected to the first material transferring manipulator 52. The third material stopping plate is provided with a plurality of cylindrical grabbing material stopping shafts. The third material stopping driver is used to drive the third material stopping plate to sink to intercept the material tray by the grabbing material stopping shafts. The grabbing sensor is provided in multiple numbers and is sequentially and spacedly arranged along the conveying direction of the first discharging conveyor 10. Each grabbing sensor comprises a grabbing transmitter located on one side of the first discharging conveyor 10 and a grabbing receiver located on the other side of the first discharging conveyor 10. The grabbing receiver is electrically connected to the first material transferring manipulator 52. The third material stopping driver drives the third material stopping plate to sink, and the grabbing material stopping shafts intercept the material tray moving to the boxing station. Since the grabbing sensor is provided in multiple numbers and is sequentially and spacedly arranged along the conveying direction of the first discharging conveyor 10, the grabbing sensor triggered by the material tray of different diameters is different. Therefore, under the premise that the size of the material tray is known, the size of the currently intercepted material tray can be determined by the signal feedback of the grabbing sensor, and the axial position of the current material tray can be further determined, so that the grabbing manipulator can perform the grabbing action according to the grabbing coordinates corresponding to the preset size of the material tray, which is high in working efficiency.

[0062] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , in order to improve the accuracy of the material tray boxing, in the embodiment, the boxing module 50 is provided with a second code scanner 53 located above the third material tray intercepting assembly 51, which performs code scanning and review before the material tray boxing.

[0063] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, in the present embodiment, the material box temporary storage rack 60 is a separate storage rack located behind the material box drum line 40. In addition, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the material box temporary storage rack 60, in the present embodiment, the top of the material box temporary storage rack 60 is provided with a roller.

[0064] As shown, Figure 7 As shown, the empty box temporary storage rack 70 is a storage rack erected above the material box drum line 40.

[0065] As shown, Figure 10 As shown, in the present embodiment, the material box transfer manipulator 80 is an RGV.

[0066] In the present scheme, the material box transfer manipulator 80 can have various ways to grasp the material box. In the present embodiment, the tray 81 is taken as an example for description. As shown, Figure 10 As shown, in the present embodiment, the material box transfer manipulator 80 is provided with a tray 81 for extending into the bottom of the material box and lifting the material box. Correspondingly, the material box drum line 40 is provided with a material box lifting mechanism 41. As shown, Figure 8 As shown, the material box lifting mechanism 41 includes a material box top plate 411 and a material box lifting driver 412 connected to the material box top plate 411. The material box top plate 411 is located in the gap between two adjacent drums, and when the material box does not need to be lifted, the material box top plate 411 is retracted and hidden in the gap between the drums. The material box lifting driver 412 is used for the material box top plate 411 to lift the material box to form a clearance slot between the bottom of the material box and the drum for the tray 81 to insert. The material box transfer manipulator 80 realizes material transfer by lifting the bottom of the material box with the tray 81, and correspondingly, when the material box transfer manipulator 80 grasps the material box, the material box lifting driver 412 drives the material box top plate 411 to rise, so that the bottom of the material box forms an overhead area for the tray 81 to insert, which is simple in structure and high in working efficiency.

[0067] Working principle:

[0068] As shown, Figure 1As shown, during unloading, the first unloading conveyor belt 10 receives the pallets taken from the shelf by the RGV. The pallets are then scanned and labeled sequentially before being transferred to the packing station. The first transfer robot 52 loads the pallets into the boxes. The boxes circulate on the box roller conveyor 40. While one box is being loaded, the next empty box waits. Fully loaded boxes flow out of the packing station along the box roller conveyor 40 and then move to the box transfer station. The box transfer robot 80 transfers the boxes to the box storage rack 60 to await AGV loading. When the previous box is full and leaves the packing station, the waiting empty boxes move forward to the packing station to begin packing, and the box transfer robot 80 replenishes the box roller conveyor 40 with new empty boxes. Empty boxes are placed on the empty box storage rack 70. When the standby empty boxes on the box roller conveyor 40 are used up, the box transfer robot 80 grabs empty boxes from the empty box storage rack 70 to replenish the box roller conveyor 40. Simultaneously, when the AGV carries an empty box back, the box transfer robot 80 places the empty box into the empty box storage rack 70. Therefore, during material discharge, there is no need to wait for the AGV to carry materials one by one; instead, materials can be continuously boxed and temporarily stored. The AGV can move back and forth between the warehouse and the production line according to a preset cycle, reducing the frequency of movement. Moreover, multiple boxes can be carried at once during each material transport, improving work efficiency.

[0069] To further improve the efficiency of material outbound, the box-type material outbound device 100 of this intelligent warehouse can be further described.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple first discharge conveyor belts 10 arranged in parallel (for example, in this embodiment, there are two first discharge conveyor belts 10 distributed left and right, with the left side being a large-size tray packing line and the right side being a mixed packing line compatible with both large and small-size trays; in addition, each first discharge conveyor belt 10 has two parallel loading ends). The intelligent warehousing box-type discharge device 100 also includes: a diversion conveyor belt 10a bridging two adjacent first discharge conveyor belts 10 and a pushing assembly 11 located at the inlet end of the diversion conveyor belt 10a. The pushing assembly 11 is used to push the trays from the first discharge conveyor belts 10 onto the diversion conveyor belt 10a. The purpose of multiple first discharge conveyors 10 is to take into account that the action mode (e.g., action stroke) of the gripping robot is different when packing pallets of different sizes. If it is necessary to accommodate multiple sizes of pallets at the same time, it will inevitably reduce the working efficiency of the gripping robot. Therefore, the size of the pallet can be determined by scanning the barcode, and then the pallets can be diverted to different first discharge conveyors 10 according to the size of the pallets to perform the final packing process, thereby improving the working efficiency of the gripping robot.

[0071] In addition, since the frequency of AGV backing up materials is reduced in the present scheme, the needs of some materials for urgent outbound can be met. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the number of the first discharge conveyors 10 is multiple, and the infeed ends of each first discharge conveyor 10 are multiple and arranged in layers (for example, in the present embodiment, the number of the first discharge conveyors 10 is two and arranged in parallel, and the infeed ends of each first discharge conveyor 10 are four and arranged in 2*2 layers). The box type material discharging device 100 of the intelligent warehouse further comprises a second discharge conveyor 10b, a fourth tray intercepting assembly 51a located at the output end of the second discharge conveyor 10b, and a second material moving manipulator 52a. The second discharge conveyor 10b is connected to the first discharge conveyor 10 located in one of the upper layer or the lower layer (for example, in the present embodiment, the second discharge conveyor 10b is connected to the infeed end of the first discharge conveyor 10 in the upper layer). Considering that in the actual operation process, there are some materials that need to be urgently discharged, in this case, if AGV needs to wait for batch backing up of materials, it cannot meet the needs of the production line for urgent materials, therefore, for the needs of urgent material discharge, after the RGV grabs the materials, the tray is placed into the second discharge conveyor 10b and directly flows to the emergency boxing station, under the interception and positioning assistance of the fourth tray intercepting assembly 51a, the second material moving manipulator 52a boxes the tray to wait for manual or AGV backing up of materials.

[0072] Further, in order to improve the accuracy of tray boxing, in the present embodiment, for the route of urgent material discharge, the box type material discharging device 100 of the intelligent warehouse further comprises a third code scanner 54 located above the fourth tray intercepting assembly 51a, which performs code scanning review before tray boxing.

[0073] The above-described box type material discharging device 100 of the intelligent warehouse utilizes the tray box roller line 40, the tray box temporary storage rack 60, the empty tray box temporary storage rack 70, and the tray box transfer manipulator 80 to provide space for temporary storage of full tray boxes for AGV batch backing up of materials, improve the flow efficiency of empty tray boxes, AGV can run back and forth between the warehouse and the production line according to the preset period, reduce the running frequency, and each time the materials can be taken away in multiple, improve the work efficiency.

[0074] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the present disclosure.

[0075] The above embodiment only expresses the preferred implementation of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but can not therefore be understood as the limitation of the utility model patent range. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of variations and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
