Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to an automatic delivery device. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese utility model patent publication number CN209889764U discloses a transfer system, including a transfer conveying device and a lifting transfer device. The transfer conveying device includes a cargo inlet, a cargo outlet, and a lateral movement mechanism. Lifting transfer devices are installed at both the cargo inlet and cargo outlet, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the pallet. Each lifting transfer device includes a body, a lifting seat slidably mounted on the body, a lifting mechanism, an upper horizontal conveying mechanism, a lower horizontal conveying mechanism, and a rotating mechanism that rotates the upper horizontal conveying mechanism by an angle. This utility model has high operating efficiency, capable of simultaneously transporting goods and outputting empty pallets, facilitating preparation for the next cargo transport. The roller fixing grooves and movable load-bearing blocks on the pallet body can fix the casters of the shelf when the pallet is lifted, reducing shelf sway. When the pallet is lowered to the ground, the movable load-bearing blocks can be lifted, facilitating the push-out of the shelf.

[0003] The existing technology, for the transfer of goods, mainly relies on lifting and transferring devices to realize the actions of loading and unloading goods onto and off pallets and into the transfer conveyor during the loading and unloading process, combining lifting and transferring actions. However, for goods with large volume and weight, this two-in-one structure has poor reliability. When frequently transferring heavy goods, the stability is poor, and if an accident occurs, it can easily cause the overall function to be paralyzed. Moreover, if there is a large number of goods to be transferred, relying on only one set of lifting and transferring devices requires queuing, and manual loading and unloading of goods is required during queuing. The automation level of this technical solution needs to be improved, and the overall stability and reliability of operation are poor.

[0004] There is an urgent need to develop a technical solution to address the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution;

[0007] An automated delivery device includes a delivery compartment, multiple cargo pallets, and a delivery unit that drives the delivery compartment to reciprocate; the delivery compartment is provided with an in-compartment transfer mechanism; the loading point of the delivery unit is provided with a loading docking unit and at least one loading transfer unit, and the unloading point of the delivery unit is provided with an unloading docking unit and at least one unloading transfer unit.

[0008] The delivery unit drives the delivery compartment to move, so that the delivery compartment carries the loading plate and transfers the material between the loading and unloading transfer units;

[0009] During loading, the loading receiving unit receives the empty pallet from the loading transfer unit. After the pallet is loaded with goods, the loading receiving unit sends the pallet with materials to the loading transfer unit, where the loading transfer unit exchanges pallets with the in-warehouse transfer mechanism. During unloading, the unloading receiving unit receives the pallet with materials from the unloading transfer unit. After the pallet is unloaded, the unloading receiving unit sends the empty pallet to the unloading transfer unit, where the unloading transfer unit exchanges pallets with the in-warehouse transfer mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the loading and transfer unit includes a lifting drive mechanism, a loading and transfer frame driven and connected to the execution end of the lifting drive mechanism, and a horizontal movement mechanism installed on the loading and transfer frame; the horizontal movement mechanism is used to receive and send out the loading pallet from the loading and transfer unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the loading and transfer unit includes a transfer frame, on which a first transfer drive mechanism and a second transfer drive mechanism are mounted; the first transfer drive mechanism is used to transfer a cargo pallet carrying materials, and the second transfer drive mechanism is used to transfer an empty cargo pallet.

[0012] Furthermore, at least two loading and transfer units are provided, and the two loading and transfer units are connected end to end to enable automated transfer of the cargo pallet.

[0013] Furthermore, the delivery unit includes a delivery drive device and a transport frame; the actuator of the delivery drive device drives the delivery compartment to move within the range of the transport frame.

[0014] Furthermore, a buffer slope is also provided at the material feeding and connecting unit.

Multiple loading and unloading transfer units, combined with an in-warehouse transfer mechanism, enable automated entry and exit of goods from the delivery warehouse, achieving unmanned operation. Transfer units can be added or removed as needed to buffer goods, avoiding waiting times and frequent manual loading and unloading when there are many goods.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, an automated delivery device includes a delivery compartment 6, multiple cargo pallets 8, and a delivery unit 5 that drives the delivery compartment 6 to reciprocate. The delivery compartment 6 is equipped with an in-compartment transfer mechanism 3. The loading point of the delivery unit 5 is equipped with a loading connection unit 1 and at least one loading transfer unit 2, and the unloading point of the delivery unit 5 is equipped with an unloading connection unit 7 and at least one unloading transfer unit 4.

[0023] During loading, the loading docking unit 1 receives the empty loading pallet 8 from the loading transfer unit 2. After the loading pallet 8 is loaded with goods, the loading docking unit 1 sends the loading pallet 8 with materials into the loading transfer unit 2. The loading transfer unit 2 exchanges loading pallets 8 with the in-warehouse transfer mechanism 3.

[0024] During delivery, the delivery unit 5 drives the delivery compartment 6 to move, so that the delivery compartment 6 carries the loading plate 8 from the loading transfer unit 2 to the unloading transfer unit 4;

[0025] During material unloading, the unloading and transfer unit 4 exchanges the loading plate 8 with the in-warehouse transfer mechanism 3. The unloading and connecting unit 7 receives the loading plate 8 containing materials from the unloading and transfer unit 4. After the loading plate 8 unloads the goods, the unloading and connecting unit 7 sends the empty loading plate 8 into the unloading and transfer unit 4.

[0026] Specifically, the delivery unit 5 can realize various forms of cargo transportation, including but not limited to lifting, horizontal movement, or oblique movement, and drive the delivery warehouse 6 to achieve reciprocating movement to realize the delivery and handling of goods.

[0027] This automated delivery equipment utilizes multiple pallets 8 for simultaneous preparation and delivery, improving delivery efficiency. Multiple loading and unloading transfer units 2 and 4 are each configured as needed. When there are many goods, these units can automatically transfer and transport them. Loading and unloading connection units 1 and 7 serve as loading and unloading stations, connecting the loading and unloading units 2 and 4 to the ground, separating the loading and unloading work, reducing the risk of failure, and allowing for quick maintenance and replacement. Multiple sets of loading and unloading transfer units 2 and 4, combined with the in-warehouse transfer mechanism 3, enable automated entry and exit of goods from the delivery warehouse 6, achieving unmanned operation. Transfer units can be added or removed as needed to buffer goods, avoiding waiting times and frequent manual loading and unloading when there are many goods. The overall separation of loading and unloading stations achieves automated delivery, reducing waiting and loading time and improving overall delivery efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment, the loading and connecting unit 1 includes a lifting drive mechanism 11, a loading connecting frame 12 driven and connected to the execution end of the lifting drive mechanism 11, and a horizontal movement mechanism 13 installed on the loading connecting frame 12; the horizontal movement mechanism 13 is used to drive the cargo plate 8 to move horizontally.

[0029] Specifically, the lifting drive mechanism 11 can be a cylinder or a lifting frame, and the horizontal motion mechanism 13 includes a reversible motor and a motor-driven conveyor belt. The lifting drive mechanism 11 drives the loading dock 12, which in turn drives the horizontal motion mechanism 13 to lift. During loading, the lifting drive mechanism 11 drives the horizontal motion mechanism 13 to descend, and the horizontal motion mechanism 13 rotates forward to receive the empty loading plate 8 on the loading transfer unit 2. After the loading plate 8 is loaded with goods, the lifting drive mechanism 11 drives the horizontal motion mechanism 13 to rise, and the horizontal motion mechanism 13 rotates in reverse to send the loading plate 8 loaded with materials into the loading transfer unit 2. The structure is simple, reliable, low-cost, and easy to quickly inspect and maintain.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 11 can drive the horizontal movement mechanism 13 to be flush with the ground. Specifically, the lifting drive mechanism 11 can be set below the ground or floor plane. During operation, the lifting drive mechanism 11 can drive the horizontal movement mechanism 13 to be flush with the ground or floor, thereby facilitating the entry and exit of goods and improving handling efficiency. During non-delivery operations, the flush setting can also reduce the impact on the ground or floor and not affect passage safety.

[0031] Specifically, the unloading docking unit 7 has the same structural features as the loading docking unit 1, with the only difference being the installation and placement position. The object docked by the unloading docking unit 7 is the loading plate 8 at the unloading transfer unit 4. After unloading the loading plate 8 which is loaded with materials, the empty loading plate 8 is sent back to the unloading transfer unit 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the loading and transfer unit 2 includes a transfer frame 21, on which a first transfer drive mechanism 22 and a second transfer drive mechanism 23 are installed; the first transfer drive mechanism 22 is used to transfer the loading plate 8 carrying materials, and the second transfer drive mechanism 23 is used to transfer the empty loading plate 8.

[0033] Specifically, the first transfer drive mechanism 22 and the second transfer drive mechanism 23 have the same structure, both including a reversible motor and a motor-driven conveyor belt for horizontally conveying the cargo pallet 8; the first transfer drive mechanism 22 and the second transfer drive mechanism 23 realize dual-path bidirectional transfer, one path transports empty pallets and the other path transports cargo pallets 8 loaded with materials, improving transfer and transportation efficiency, facilitating rapid exchange of cargo pallets 8 with the delivery warehouse 6, and ensuring stable overall operation, simple structure, high reliability, and easy inspection, maintenance, and addition / reduction settings.

[0034] Specifically, the loading and transfer unit 2, the in-warehouse transfer unit 3, and the unloading and transfer unit 4 have the same structural features and working principle. They adopt a dual-path bidirectional transfer method to realize the simultaneous transportation of the loading pallet 8 with materials and the empty loading pallet 8, thereby realizing the rapid exchange of loading pallets 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, the multiple loading and transfer units 2 are connected end-to-end to enable automated transfer of the cargo pallet 8. Specifically, the loading and transfer units 2 and the unloading and transfer units 4 can each be connected end-to-end to extend the transfer distance, buffer the goods on the transfer path, and reduce queuing time.

[0036] In this embodiment, the delivery unit 5 includes a delivery drive device 52 and a transport frame 51; the execution end of the delivery drive device 52 is connected to the delivery compartment 6, and the delivery drive device 52 drives the delivery compartment 6 to move within the range of the transport frame 51.

[0037] Specifically, the delivery unit 5 can use a motor and a traction rope mechanism to achieve lifting operation. The delivery drive device 52 can be a motor. The transport frame 51 is equipped with a traction reel that is connected to the actuator of the motor. The traction reel is used to connect the delivery compartment 6, thereby enabling the delivery compartment 6 to reciprocate within the height stroke of the transport frame 51, realizing the lifting, transporting and delivery of goods.

[0038] In this embodiment, a buffer slope 71 is also provided at the unloading and connecting unit 7. The buffer slope 71 facilitates the loading and unloading of goods.
