Description

A warehouse material handling station Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of warehouse material handling stations, specifically a warehouse material handling station. Background Technology

[0002] As a key node in modern warehousing and logistics systems, warehouse material handling stations are primarily used for centralized storage, classified management, and efficient circulation of materials. In warehouse management, material handling is one of the core tasks spanning storage, sorting, and transportation; its efficiency directly impacts warehousing operating costs and operational smoothness. Optimizing material handling processes can significantly reduce manual intervention, shorten work cycles, and improve resource utilization. Warehouse materials are diverse, encompassing various forms and characteristics such as steel, chemical raw materials, and electromechanical components, with significant differences in specifications, weight, and stacking requirements. This places higher demands on the adaptability of handling equipment.

[0003] Currently, automated material handling technology is widely used in warehouse material handling stations, with AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) robots being a typical application. AGVs are usually equipped with fixed storage bins. A robotic arm or gripping device picks up the target material and places it into the storage bin. The control system then plans the path and drives the AGV to complete the transportation task. This design relies on a pre-defined storage bin structure and robotic arm operating logic, aiming to achieve unmanned material handling from start to finish, and is widely used in highly standardized warehousing scenarios.

[0004] However, existing AGV handling robots have significant limitations in practical applications. Because the height at which the AGV handling robot is placed in the storage box is fixed, when handling oversized materials (such as goods exceeding the storage box's capacity limit), the materials are prone to tilting or even tipping over during transport due to instability, increasing the risk of damage. This not only affects the safety of material handling but may also delay the overall operation due to rework and cleaning, further hindering the improvement of warehousing efficiency. Therefore, this utility model proposes a warehousing material handling station to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage material processing station to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a storage material handling station, comprising: an automated guided vehicle, a storage box fixedly connected to the upper surface of the automated guided vehicle, splicing holes through the four corners of the upper surface of the storage box, an insert rod slidably fitted inside the splicing holes, the top of the insert rod being fixedly connected to an extension frame, and a limit mechanism being provided at the bottom of the insert rod;

[0007] The limiting mechanism includes a support platform, on the upper side of which a set of relatively movable limiting rods are installed. One end of the limiting rod is slidably inserted into the bottom end of the insertion rod, and the other end of the limiting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod via a pin. The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the push-pull frame via a pin. The push-pull frame is slidably sleeved in the U-shaped frame, and the other end of the push-pull frame is connected to an adjustment component for adjusting the lateral pushing and pulling of the push-pull frame.

[0008] Preferably, support sleeves are fixedly fitted on all four sides of the extension frame, and threaded rods are threaded into the support sleeves. One end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the anti-slip soft pad, and a wheel is fixedly fitted on the other end of the threaded rod.

[0009] Preferably, there are two support platforms arranged symmetrically about the upper surface of the automated guided vehicle. The bottom of the support platform is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the automated guided vehicle, the middle of the upper surface of the support platform is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame, and the two ends of the upper surface of the support platform are fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve. The bottom end of the insertion rod has an insertion hole and the bottom end of the insertion rod is slidably sleeved in the limiting sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting block is provided on one side of the limiting sleeve, the lower surface of the limiting block is fixedly connected to the support platform, a through hole is opened on one side wall of the limiting sleeve, one end of the limiting rod is slidably sleeved in the U-shaped frame, and the other end of the limiting rod passes through the limiting block and the through hole and is slidably inserted into the insertion hole.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod, the middle of which is rotatably sleeved in a limiting seat. The upper surface of the limiting seat is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the storage box. Both ends of the adjustment rod are threaded in opposite directions, and a limiting post is provided on the lower side of the adjustment rod.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting post is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the automatic guide vehicle, both ends of the limiting post are slidably connected to the bottom of the adjusting block, both adjusting blocks are threaded onto both ends of the adjusting rod, the top of the adjusting block is fixedly connected to the end of the push-pull frame away from the U-shaped frame, and a handwheel is fixedly sleeved on one end of the adjusting rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The adjustable extension frame structure effectively solves the compatibility problem of traditional fixed-height storage boxes for oversized goods. This device employs a rod-limiting mechanism and a linkage adjustment component, allowing for rapid expansion of storage space based on cargo height. This enables dynamic adjustment of loading height, significantly improving the adaptability of handling equipment to materials of different sizes. Simultaneously, a multi-level limiting mechanism ensures the stability of the extension structure, fundamentally avoiding the risk of cargo tilting or tipping due to center of gravity shift during transportation.

[0015] 2. Through the synergistic effect of the threaded drive device and the flexible anti-slip components, three-dimensional stability of goods is achieved during transportation. Utilizing a rotatable and adjustable lateral fixing mechanism, flexible clamping can be implemented for goods of different sizes, ensuring both fixing strength and avoiding damage to the surface of the goods. Combined with the expanded loading space, a three-dimensional protection system is formed, significantly enhancing the safety and reliability of material transportation, effectively reducing the probability of cargo damage and minimizing the need for manual intervention.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a warehouse material handling station, including: an automated guided vehicle 1. The automated guided vehicle 1 is the prior art and is mainly composed of components such as a navigation system, a drive system, sensors, a control unit, a communication module, a cargo-carrying device, and a charging system. By receiving task instructions, planning paths, avoiding obstacles, and accurately executing handling tasks, it achieves efficient and intelligent material handling. Within the warehousing material handling station, AGVs move along preset or dynamically planned paths according to instructions from the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to complete the loading, unloading, and transportation of goods. Simultaneously, the communication module provides real-time feedback on the task status, ensuring smooth and optimized logistics processes. A storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the automated guided vehicle 1. The storage box 2 is used to place goods. Four through-holes 3 are provided on the upper surface of the storage box 2. Insert rods 4 are slidably fitted into the through-holes 3. The top of the insert rod 4 is fixedly connected to an extension frame 5. The through-holes 3 limit the insertion rod 4, facilitating its fixation to the extension frame 5. A limit mechanism is provided at the bottom of the insert rod 4, limiting the overall height of the extension frame 5. This allows for the extension frame 5 to be extended even when the goods are high. The long frame 5 is designed to limit the movement of goods. The limiting mechanism includes a support platform 6, on which a set of relatively movable limiting rods 7 are installed. One end of the limiting rod 7 is slidably inserted into the bottom end of the insertion rod 4. By inserting the limiting rod 7 into the bottom end of the insertion rod 4, the insertion rod 4 is limited, and the insertion rod 4 further limits the extension frame 5. The other end of the limiting rod 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 8 via a pin. The other end of the connecting rod 8 is rotatably connected to one end of the push-pull frame 9 via a pin. The push-pull frame 9 is slidably fitted inside the U-shaped frame 10. The U-shaped frame 10 limits the movement of the push-pull frame 9. The other end of the push-pull frame 9 is connected to an adjustment component for adjusting the horizontal pushing and pulling of the push-pull frame 9. The adjustment component can drive the push-pull frame 9 to move in the horizontal direction, and its direction of movement is perpendicular to the direction close to the side wall of the storage box 2.

[0023] In use, the automated guided vehicle 1 is electrically connected to an external terminal control device. The terminal control device can plan the operating path of the automated guided vehicle 1, thereby transporting goods to a designated location by placing them in the storage box 2 on it. When the goods to be transported are high, to prevent tipping or spillage during transport, the splicing hole 3 and the insert rod 4 are slidably connected. This allows the insert rod 4 to be inserted through the splicing hole 3, so that the lower surface of the extension frame 5 abuts against the upper surface of the storage box 2. At this time, by adjusting the components, the push-pull frame 9 moves laterally under the limit of the U-shaped frame 10, and the push-pull frame 9 moves towards the center of the automated guided vehicle 1. The movement causes one end of the connecting rod 8 to rotate under the connection of the pin. The other end of the connecting rod 8 drives the limiting rod 7 to move through the pin connection. Under the limitation of the U-shaped frame 10, the two limiting rods 7 move back to back along the upper surface of the support platform 6, and then move the limiting rods 7 towards the bottom of the insertion rod 4. Then, through the insertion of the limiting rods 7 and the insertion rod 4, the insertion rod 4 is limited and fixed. Finally, through the limitation and fixation of the insertion rod 4, the extension frame 5 is fixed to the top of the storage box 2, thereby indirectly increasing the height of the entire storage box 2. This makes it easier for the automatic guided vehicle 1 to transport taller goods and avoids the problem of materials tilting or even tipping over due to instability of the center of gravity during transportation.

[0024] Support sleeves 11 are fixedly fitted on all four sides of the extension frame 5. A threaded rod 12 is threaded into the support sleeve 11, limiting its movement. One end of the threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 13, and the other end is fixedly fitted with a wheel 14, which facilitates rotation of the threaded rod 12. Two support platforms 6 are provided and symmetrically arranged about the upper surface of the automated guided vehicle 1. The bottom of the support platform 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the automated guided vehicle 1, and the middle of the upper surface of the support platform 6 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 10. Both ends of the upper surface of the support platform 6 are fixedly connected to limiting sleeves 15. The bottom of the insertion rod 4 is open. The device has an insertion hole 18 and the bottom end of the insertion rod 4 is slidably sleeved in the limiting sleeve 15. The support platform 6 limits and fixes the U-shaped frame 10 and the limiting sleeve 15. The limiting sleeve 15 limits the bottom end of the insertion rod 4, further improving the insertion stability of the insertion rod 4. A limiting block 16 is provided on one side of the limiting sleeve 15. The lower surface of the limiting block 16 is fixedly connected to the support platform 6. A through hole 17 is opened on one side wall of the limiting sleeve 15. One end of the limiting rod 7 is slidably sleeved in the U-shaped frame 10. The other end of the limiting rod 7 passes through the limiting block 16 and the through hole 17 and is slidably inserted into the insertion hole 18. The limiting block 16 limits the limiting rod 7, thereby improving its stability during lateral sliding.

[0025] The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod 19, the middle of which is rotatably sleeved within a limiting seat 20. The limiting seat 20 provides limiting support for the adjustment rod 19, thereby improving its stability during rotation. The upper surface of the limiting seat 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the storage box 2. Both ends of the adjustment rod 19 are threaded with opposite directions of rotation. A limiting post 21 is provided on the lower side of the adjustment rod 19. The bottom of the limiting post 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the automatic guide vehicle 1. Both ends of the limiting post 21 are slidably connected to the bottom of the adjustment block 22. The limiting post 21 limits the adjustment block 22, thereby ensuring its stability during sliding. Both adjustment blocks 22 are threaded onto both ends of the adjustment rod 19. The top of the adjustment block 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the push-pull frame 9 away from the U-shaped frame 10. A handwheel 23 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the adjustment rod 19. The handwheel 23 fixedly sleeved on one end of the adjustment rod 19 facilitates the rotation of the adjustment rod 19.

[0026] In actual use, the automated guided vehicle 1 is electrically connected to an external terminal control device. The terminal control device can plan the operating path of the automated guided vehicle 1, thereby transporting goods to a designated location by placing them in the storage box 2 on it. When the goods to be transported are high, to prevent tipping or spillage during the transfer process, the insertion rod 4 is slidably inserted through the splicing hole 3. This allows the insertion rod 4 to be inserted through the splicing hole 3, thus initially limiting the position of the insertion rod 4 and also initially limiting the position of the extension frame 5. The lower surface of the extension frame 5 abuts against the upper surface of the storage box 2, while the bottom end of the insertion rod 4 slides into the limiting sleeve 15, further limiting and fixing the insertion rod 4, thus improving the stability of the extension frame 5 splicing. At this time, by turning the handwheel 23, the handwheel 23 drives the adjusting rod 19 to rotate. Since both ends of the adjusting rod 19 are threadedly connected to the adjusting block 22, under the limitation of the limiting post 21, the two adjusting blocks 22 move towards each other, thereby driving the push-pull frame 9 to move synchronously. The push-pull frame 9 moves laterally under the limitation of the U-shaped frame 10, causing the push-pull frame 9 to move closer to the automatic guide. The guide car 1 moves in the middle direction, thereby pushing the push-pull frame 9 to rotate one end of the connecting rod 8 under the connection of the pin. The other end of the connecting rod 8 drives the limiting rod 7 to move through the connection of the pin. The two limiting rods 7 slide in opposite directions under the limitation of the U-shaped frame 10 and the limiting block 16. At the same time, the limiting rod 7 moves towards the bottom end of the insertion rod 4, and then the insertion rod 4 is further limited and fixed by the insertion hole 18 opened at the bottom end of the limiting rod 7, which further fixes the extension frame 5 to the top of the storage box 2, thereby indirectly increasing the height of the entire storage box 2. To facilitate the handling of taller goods by the automated guided vehicle 1 and prevent the materials from tilting or even tipping over during transportation due to instability of the center of gravity, after the extension frame 5 is assembled, the goods are placed in the storage box 2. At this time, the threaded rod 12 is rotated by twisting the wheel 14. Under the limit of the support sleeve 11, the threaded rod 12 moves towards the goods until the anti-slip pad 13 abuts against the side wall of the goods, further fixing the goods and further preventing the materials from tilting or tipping over during transportation due to instability of the center of gravity.
