Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material storage technology, and in particular to an intelligent micro vertical warehouse for material storage. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern industry and logistics, the requirements for material storage management are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional warehouse racking and manual management methods are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of these sectors for material storage density, inbound and outbound efficiency, inventory management accuracy, and space utilization. To address these issues, intelligent micro-automated storage systems (AAS) are gradually replacing warehouse racking and manual management. As a miniaturized and automated material storage system, the components of an intelligent micro-automated storage system must balance space compactness, functional completeness, and intelligent features. It typically consists of five core modules: a structural support system, a storage and retrieval execution system, an intelligent control system, a sensing and identification system, and an auxiliary function system. These components work together to achieve automatic storage, retrieval, access, and management of materials. Intelligent micro-automated storage systems generally use stacker cranes or shuttle cars as storage and retrieval equipment.
[0003] Since the bottom of storage and retrieval equipment generally does not have the function of cleaning the track, the track needs to be cleaned regularly in order to ensure the stable operation of the storage and retrieval equipment, which increases the operating cost of the equipment. In view of the above reasons, this application proposes an intelligent micro vertical warehouse for material storage. Utility Model Content

Support columns 2 are fixed at the four corners of each set of shelves 1 for supporting the shelves 1. Multiple upright columns 3 are provided between two support columns 2, and the upright columns 3 are distributed at both ends of the shelves 1. Each set of shelves 1 has a lifting platform 4 at one end for lifting and lowering. The lifting platform 4 can drive a stacker crane 6 to move up and down. Each set of shelves 1 has a guide rail 5. A stacker crane 6 for storing and retrieving materials is provided above the rail 5. Two cleaning structures 7 for cleaning impurities on the surface of the rail 5 are provided below the stacker crane 6.
[0038] The cleaning structure 7 includes a mounting tube 701 for fixing, a connecting rod 703 is movably mounted inside the mounting tube 701, a positioning hole 702 for positioning is provided on the front side of the mounting tube 701, a positioning rod 708 for positioning the connecting rod 703 is movably mounted on the front side of the connecting rod 703, a receiving hole 705 is provided on the front side of the connecting rod 703, a spring 706 is fixedly mounted inside the receiving hole 705, a guide plate 707 is fixedly mounted on one end of the spring 706, the guide plate 707 and the receiving hole 705 are movably connected, two limiting grooves are provided on the inner wall of the receiving hole 705, two limiting blocks are fixedly mounted on the outside of the guide plate 707, the limiting blocks and the limiting grooves are movably connected, the other end of the positioning rod 708 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 707, and a brush head 704 for cleaning is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting rod 703.
[0039] Below the track 5 is a collection structure 8 for collecting impurities. The collection structure 8 includes a horizontal plate 801 for installation. The surface of the horizontal plate 801 is provided with two through slots 802 for impurities to pass through. Below the horizontal plate 801 is a collection box 803. The top of the collection box 803 is provided with two sets of connecting brackets 804. The bottom of the horizontal plate 801 is provided with two slots 805. The connecting brackets 804 and the slots 805 are compatible.

When it is necessary to replace the brush head 704, the positioning rod 708 is pressed inward, which in turn presses the guide plate 707, which in turn presses the spring 706. When the positioning rod 708 is fully retracted into the storage hole 705, the connecting rod 703 is pulled downward to separate the connecting rod 703 from the mounting tube 701, thereby disassembling the brush head 704.
[0041] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
