[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 A pallet for an automated warehouse includes a pallet 5 installed inside a rack 1, and a three-axis stacker crane 2 is installed inside the rack 1. The three-axis stacker crane 2 is used to transfer the pallet 5 and the items on the pallet 5.
[0033] The tray 5 includes a tray body 501 and a clamping part 502. The clamping part 502 is mounted on the tray body 501. The tray body 501 includes a base plate 5011, a bottom plate 5012, a groove 5013 and a positioning post 5014. The base plate 5011 is mounted on the bottom plate 5012. The groove 5013 is formed on the side of the bottom plate 5012 away from the base plate 5011. The positioning post 5014 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 5012.
[0034] The clamping part 502 includes a first clamping block 5021 and a second clamping block 5022. The first clamping block 5021 and the second clamping block 5022 are distributed from left to right and are both located on the top surface of the substrate 5011. A fixing part 6 is installed on one side of the second clamping block 5022. The first clamping block 5021 and the second clamping block 5022 cooperate to initially limit the position of the item placed on the substrate and ensure the stability of the item.
[0035] The fixing part 6 includes a fixing cylinder 601, a spring 602, a stop block 603, a round rod 604, a ball bearing 605, and a fixing plate 606. The spring 602 is installed in the inner cavity of the fixing cylinder 601, and one side of the stop block is in contact with one end of the spring 602. One end of the round rod 604 is fixedly connected to the side of the stop block away from the spring 602, and one side of the fixing plate 606 is fixedly connected to the end of the round rod 604 away from the stop block. The ball bearing 605 is movably fitted into the side of the fixing plate 606 away from the round rod 604. After an item is placed between the first clamping block 5021 and the second clamping block 5022, the item will squeeze the fixing plate 606, causing the fixing plate 606 to move the round rod 604 and the stop block, thereby compressing the spring 602. The elastic force of the spring 602 is used to cooperate with the second clamping block 5022 to complete the clamping and fixing of the item, thereby enhancing the effect of limiting the item.
[0036] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, both the first clamping block 5021 and the second clamping block 5022 are designed in the shape of a U-shape, and the end of the round rod 604 away from the fixed cylinder 601 moves through the second clamping block 5022. One end of the fixed cylinder 601 is fixedly installed on the side of the second clamping block 5022 away from the first clamping block 5021.
[0037] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the top of the side of the fixing plate 606 away from the round rod 604 is designed to be arc-shaped, and the ball bearing 605 rotates freely on one side of the fixing plate 606. The arc-shaped design makes it easier for the item to push open the fixing plate 606 during placement, thereby ensuring that the item can be smoothly placed between the first clamping block 5021 and the second clamping block 5022. Furthermore, the ball bearing 605 installed on the fixing plate 606 changes sliding friction to rolling friction, further reducing the resistance between the item and the fixing plate 606, ensuring that the item is smoothly squeezed between the fixing plate 606 and the second clamping block 5022, so that the item is in a stable clamped state.
[0038] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the end of the fixed cylinder 601 away from the second clamping block 5022 is movably sleeved with a cover 8. The inner wall of the cover 8 is fixedly connected to a limit ring 9, and the spring 602 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the limit ring 9.
[0039] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 601 is provided with an insertion hole 11, and an insertion rod 10 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the insertion hole 11. The end of the insertion rod 10 away from the insertion hole 11 is threaded through the cover body 8.
[0040] The limiting ring 9 facilitates the positioning of the spring 602, and the cover 8 and the fixing cylinder 601 are fixedly installed by the insertion rod 10 and the insertion hole 11, which makes it easy to turn the insertion rod 10 and pull it out of the insertion hole 11. Then the cover 8 can be removed from the fixing cylinder 601 to complete the disassembly of the spring 602, which makes it easy to replace the spring 602 and avoids the problem of elasticity decay after long-term use.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the shelf 1 includes a support column 3, a support plate 4 is installed on the support column 3, and a positioning groove 7 is provided on the top surface of the support plate 4.
