Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical design technology, and in particular to an intelligent lifting and transplanting device. Background Technology
[0002] As manufacturing and logistics companies continue to expand, the number and size of warehouses are also increasing. Human labor and manual operation can no longer meet the needs of fast and efficient logistics, rapid storage and retrieval of materials, and intelligent identification of goods types, thus leading to the widespread application of goods storage and retrieval equipment.
[0003] However, existing cargo storage and retrieval equipment has a relatively simple function, and manual intervention is required between storage and retrieval. At the same time, since there are many types of cargo with different dimensions and weights, workers are required to sort and scan the goods during storage and retrieval, which undoubtedly slows down work efficiency and cannot further reduce the workload.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper crossbeam assembly is provided with a main wire rope on the side near the drum column and a secondary wire rope on the side near the electrical cabinet column. When the main and secondary wire ropes are connected and cooperate with the cargo storage and retrieval mechanism, the main wire rope and the secondary wire rope are parallel to each other, and their axes are parallel to the drum column and the electrical cabinet column.
[0016] Furthermore, both the drum and the lifting motor assembly are fixed on the drum column, and the electrical cabinet column is connected to an electrical control cabinet for controlling the transplanting equipment and a ladder for operating and maintaining the equipment.
