Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent warehouse technology, and in particular to an integrated intelligent small-scale automated warehouse. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce and logistics, warehousing demand has increased dramatically. Traditional flat warehouses can no longer meet the growing storage needs, while automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) have become a market favorite due to their high storage density and efficient cargo handling capabilities. Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce land resources, how to efficiently utilize limited warehouse space has become a key focus for enterprises. Small AS / RS, through vertical storage, can maximize the use of warehouse space, increase storage density and cargo handling capacity, thereby meeting enterprises' needs for efficient warehousing. Currently, with the development of intelligent manufacturing and the Industrial Internet, warehousing systems are also showing a trend towards intelligence and automation. As an important component of automated warehousing systems, the research and application of small AS / RS can help promote the intelligent upgrading of the warehousing industry and improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehousing operations. Existing small warehouses require stacker cranes to achieve automated package retrieval and placement, which places high demands on the stacker crane's recognition and movement accuracy, leading to increased overall costs. Furthermore, when stacker cranes retrieve packages, they are not easily integrated with external AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) systems, making package swapping a possibility. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an integrated intelligent small-scale automated warehouse to address the above problems.

[0004] An integrated intelligent small-scale automated warehouse includes a rack body, a control room, and a main conveyor base. The rack body has several unit warehouses arranged in a grid pattern on its vertical surface. Each unit warehouse has a conveyor base at its bottom. The main conveyor base is installed at the bottom of the rack body to receive packages falling from the unit warehouses. The feeding direction of the conveyor bases is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the main conveyor base. The control room is installed on one side of the rack body to control the start and stop of the main conveyor base and the several conveyor bases.

[0005] Preferably, the main conveyor base includes a frame, a conveyor belt, and a motor. The conveyor belt is movably mounted on the rotating shafts at both ends of the frame, and the output end of the motor is connected to the rotating shafts to drive the rotating shafts to rotate.

[0012] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0015] like Figure 1As shown, an integrated intelligent small-scale automated warehouse includes a rack body 1, a control room 2, and a main conveyor base 3. The rack body 1 has several unit warehouses 4 arranged in a grid pattern on its vertical surface. Each unit warehouse 4 has a conveyor base 41 at its bottom. The main conveyor base 3 is installed at the bottom of the rack body 1 to receive packages falling from the unit warehouses 4. The feeding direction of the conveyor base 41 is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the main conveyor base 3. The control room 2 is installed on one side of the rack body 1 to control the start and stop of the main conveyor base 3 and the conveyor base 41. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rack body 1 adopts a steel structure with high structural strength. Several unit warehouses 4 are set inside the rack body 1, with one unit warehouse 4 corresponding to one package. In this design, considering that packages fall directly from the unit warehouses 4 onto the main conveyor base 3, the package types are limited to plush toys and clothing packages; packages containing precision instruments cannot be stored to avoid damage. To achieve shipments without using stacker cranes, we integrated a conveyor base 41 within a unit warehouse 4. This base transports packages stored within warehouse 4 to a main conveyor base 3, located in front of the main racking system 1. The main conveyor base 3 supports the packages and directs them to designated locations for further distribution by AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) carts. Package loading can be done manually or using robotic arms. Multiple packages can be placed side-by-side into a single unit warehouse 4. The control room 2 uses built-in algorithms to control the start and stop times of the conveyor base 41, allowing packages to be transported out one by one. This automated warehouse utilizes many existing technologies, avoiding the complexities of programming for package retrieval with stacker cranes, saving on operating costs, and preventing the problem of packages being easily dropped during stacker crane handling. It effectively meets the needs of enterprises for improved efficiency and reduced costs in small-package storage management.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the main conveyor base 3 includes a frame 31, a conveyor belt 32, and a motor 33. The conveyor belt 32 is movably mounted on the rotating shafts at both ends of the frame 31. The output end of the motor 33 is connected to the rotating shaft, driving the rotating shaft to rotate. Specifically, the motor 33 is installed at both ends of the frame 31, and its output end is connected to the rotating shaft, thus driving the rotating shaft to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the conveyor belt 32 to rotate synchronously. This is existing technology, so the applicant briefly describes it here. The applicant mainly utilizes the characteristic of the conveyor belt 32 to directionally convey materials. The conveyor belt 32 catches packages falling from the unit warehouse 4 as an intermediate conveyor, directionally conveying the packages to the AGV trolleys waiting at designated locations. This utilizes many existing technological products, avoiding subsequent complex algorithm coding design and reducing subsequent operating costs.

[0017] like Figure 1As shown, the rack 31 is equipped with a guardrail 311 on the side away from the main body of the shelf 1 to prevent packages falling from the unit warehouse 4 from rolling out, ensuring that the packages are always on the conveyor belt 32 and are directionally conveyed to the AGV trolley by the conveyor belt 32 to complete the shipment.

[0018] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the conveyor base 41 includes a housing 411 and a conveyor microbelt 412. The conveyor microbelt 412 is movably installed inside the housing 411, and its end protrudes from the upper surface of the housing 411 for contact with the package. Specifically, it is understood that a micro motor is integrated inside the housing 411 to drive the conveyor microbelt 412. The conveyor microbelt 412 is made of rubber and protrudes from a perforated area on the upper surface of the housing 411 to ensure contact with and support of the package. Utilizing the friction between the conveyor microbelt 412 and the package, the conveyor microbelt 412 can carry the package and deliver it out of the unit warehouse 4 during operation.

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the upper surface of the housing 411 is also provided with rollers 42, and two rows of rollers 42 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor microbelt 412. Specifically, when the conveyor microbelt 412 drives the package in and out of the unit warehouse 4, the rollers 42 can reduce the frictional resistance experienced by the package during the displacement process.

[0020] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
