Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and warehousing technology, specifically to a vertical lifting three-dimensional container frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the warehousing sector, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) are widely used to improve space utilization and cargo handling efficiency. However, existing AS / RS frames have some structural design deficiencies, affecting their overall performance and usability. To address these design shortcomings, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221874638U discloses a pallet racking system for logistics warehousing. However, this solution still suffers from the following unresolved issues: unreasonable frame structure design and limited pallet placement, leading to underutilization of storage space and wasted space resources; and a lack of guiding structures, causing pallets to jam when entering the storage area during cargo handling, affecting the smoothness of cargo handling, reducing efficiency, and increasing operating time and labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a vertical lifting three-dimensional container frame.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A vertical lifting three-dimensional container frame includes a rectangular frame with at least two rows of storage panels symmetrically arranged along the short side of the frame. Each row of storage panels includes several U-shaped openings with spaced intervals. The openings on both sides of the storage panels are provided with downward-bent guide openings. Several sprockets are arranged from top to bottom along the long side of the frame. The sprockets form a vertical lifting channel through chains. A bracket is provided at the bottom of the chain and is located between the two rows of storage panels.

[0006] This technical solution utilizes a large, three-dimensional frame with storage panels at both the front and back. Pallet holders are positioned between the storage panels, while goods are supplied to the storage panels on both sides, improving the efficiency of warehouse space utilization. Guide openings are provided on both sides of each storage panel to facilitate pallet entry and prevent jamming.

[0007] In addition, the vertical lifting three-dimensional container frame proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the long side of the three-dimensional skeleton further includes a horizontal skeleton, a vertical skeleton, and side reinforcing ribs. The horizontal skeleton is horizontally arranged in the middle of the three-dimensional skeleton, and the vertical skeleton passes through the horizontal skeleton and is connected to the upper and lower sides of the three-dimensional skeleton. The side reinforcing ribs are arranged in a cross shape on the side of the three-dimensional skeleton.

[0009] In this technical solution, the three-dimensional frame is large in size and the pallet used is also extra long and heavy, so it is necessary to strengthen the three-dimensional frame. It is necessary to strengthen it on the sides and top respectively. For example, horizontal support is added to the sides by using the horizontal frame and vertical support is added to the sides by using the vertical frame. Furthermore, the horizontal frame and the vertical frame are reinforced again by using side reinforcing ribs.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the top of the three-dimensional frame further includes a top reinforcing rib, which is arranged in a cross shape on the top of the three-dimensional frame.

[0011] This technical solution reinforces the four corners of the three-dimensional frame with top reinforcing ribs, and also provides support for the top sprocket.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the chain passes through the bottom of the bracket and extends upward to a sprocket at the top of the three-dimensional frame, and then extends downward again via another sprocket to the drive gear at the bottom of the three-dimensional frame.

[0013] In this technical solution, the purpose of the chain is to drive the bracket to move up and down. The power of the chain comes from the drive gear at the bottom. The bracket is equipped with a tray. After the tray is raised to a specified height, the motor on the tray drives the tray to move from the bracket to the shelf.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a drive motor is provided at the bottom center of the three-dimensional frame. The drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate through the drive shafts extending on both sides, thereby driving the chain to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0015] In this technical solution, the drive motor drives the drive shafts on both sides to rotate, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the drive gears on both sides and avoiding deviation caused by insufficient power synchronization on both sides of the bracket.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a nylon sleeve is provided on the side of the bracket, a chain runs through the middle of the nylon sleeve, and a guide wheel is provided on the side of the nylon sleeve via a bracket, which abuts against the side edge of the three-dimensional frame.

[0017] In this technical solution, the nylon sleeve is made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant material. Its inner wall is in contact with the chain and restricts the chain's range of movement. The guide wheel is fixed to the side of the nylon sleeve by a bracket. The nylon sleeve indirectly dampens and guides the chain through the guide wheel.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a limit switch is also provided on the top of the three-dimensional frame, and the limit switch is used to detect the height of the bracket being raised.

[0019] In this technical solution, since the tray carries a pallet, it will cause danger if the height is raised too high. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the highest position of the tray. Once the goods on the tray touch the limit switch, the drive motor will stop lifting.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) By reasonably setting up a large three-dimensional frame, placing storage boards in the front and back, and setting the bracket between the two rows of storage boards, goods can be provided to the storage boards on both sides at the same time, making full use of the storage space; guide openings are set on both sides of the storage board to facilitate the entry of pallets, avoid jamming, and effectively improve the efficiency of goods storage and retrieval.

[0022] (2) The three-dimensional frame is reinforced by secondary reinforcement of the horizontal and vertical frames and the side and top reinforcing ribs to enhance the strength of the frame; the drive motor drives the two drive shafts to rotate synchronously to avoid the bracket from shifting; limit switches are set to constrain the highest position of the bracket to prevent the tray from being raised too high and causing danger.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a vertical lifting three-dimensional container frame, including a three-dimensional frame 1 arranged in a cuboid shape, with at least two rows of storage panels 2 symmetrically arranged along the short side of the three-dimensional frame 1, such as... Figure 5 As shown, each shelf 2 includes several U-shaped openings 21 spaced apart, with downward-curving guide openings 22 on both sides of the openings of the shelf 21; the long side of the three-dimensional frame 1 has several sprockets 8 arranged from top to bottom, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the sprocket 8 forms a vertical lifting channel through the chain 7, and a bracket is provided at the bottom of the chain 7, which is located between the two rows of storage plates 2.

[0033] This technical solution rationally sets up a large three-dimensional frame 1, which can place storage boards 2 at both the front and back. The pallet holder is set between the storage boards 2, and goods are provided to the storage boards 2 on both sides, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of storage space. Guide openings 22 are set on both sides of each storage board 2 to facilitate the entry of pallets and avoid jamming.

[0034] In addition, the vertical lifting three-dimensional container frame proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the long side of the three-dimensional skeleton 1 further includes a horizontal skeleton 3, a vertical skeleton 4 and a side reinforcing rib 5, wherein the horizontal skeleton 3 is horizontally arranged in the middle of the three-dimensional skeleton 1, the vertical skeleton 4 passes through the horizontal skeleton 3 and is connected to the upper and lower sides of the three-dimensional skeleton 1; the side reinforcing rib 5 is arranged in a cross shape on the side of the three-dimensional skeleton 1.

[0036] In this technical solution, the three-dimensional frame 1 is large in size and the pallet used is also extra long and heavy, so it is necessary to reinforce the three-dimensional frame 1. It is necessary to strengthen it on the side and the top respectively. For example, the horizontal frame 3 is used to add horizontal support on the side, the vertical frame 4 is used to add vertical support on the side, and the horizontal frame 3 and the vertical frame 4 are further reinforced by the side reinforcing ribs 5.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the top of the three-dimensional frame 1 further includes a top reinforcing rib 6, which is arranged in a cross shape on the top of the three-dimensional frame 1.

[0038] This technical solution reinforces the four corners of the three-dimensional frame 1 with top reinforcing ribs 6, and also provides support for the top sprocket 8.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the chain 7 passes through the bottom of the bracket and extends upward to a sprocket 8 at the top of the three-dimensional frame 1, and then extends downward again via another sprocket 8 to the drive gear at the bottom of the three-dimensional frame 1.

[0040] In this technical solution, the purpose of the chain 7 is to drive the bracket to move up and down. The power of the chain 7 comes from the drive gear at the bottom. The bracket is equipped with a tray. After the tray is lifted to a specified height, the motor on the tray drives the tray to move from the bracket to the shelf.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a drive motor is provided at the bottom center of the three-dimensional frame 1. The drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate through the drive shafts extending on both sides, thereby driving the chain 7 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0042] In this technical solution, the drive motor drives the drive shafts on both sides to rotate, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the drive gears on both sides and avoiding deviation caused by insufficient power synchronization on both sides of the bracket.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a nylon sleeve is provided on the side of the bracket, a chain 7 is passed through the middle of the nylon sleeve, and a guide wheel is provided on the side of the nylon sleeve via a bracket, which abuts against the side edge of the three-dimensional frame 1.

[0044] In this technical solution, the nylon sleeve is made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant material. Its inner wall is in contact with the chain 7 and restricts the movement range of the chain 7. The guide wheel is fixed to the side of the nylon sleeve by a bracket. The nylon sleeve indirectly dampens and guides the chain 7 through the guide wheel.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a limit switch is also provided on the top of the three-dimensional frame 1, which is used to detect the height of the bracket being raised.

[0046] In this technical solution, since the tray carries a pallet, it will cause danger if the height is raised too high. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the highest position of the tray. Once the goods on the tray touch the limit switch, the drive motor will stop lifting.

[0047] The usage process of the above embodiments is as follows: Figures 1 to 6As shown, upon startup, the drive motor in the center of the bottom of the three-dimensional frame 1 operates, driving the drive shafts extending on both sides to rotate, which in turn causes the drive gears on both sides to rotate synchronously. The chain 7 then begins to move under the drive of the drive gears. The chain 7 passes through the bottom of the bracket, extends upwards to the top sprocket 8, and then downwards through another sprocket 8 to the bottom drive gear, repeating this cycle to drive the bracket to vertically lift and lower. During the lifting and lowering process, the inner wall of the nylon sleeve contacts the chain 7, limiting its range of movement. Simultaneously, the guide wheels on the side of the nylon sleeve abut against the side edge of the three-dimensional frame 1, damping and guiding the chain 7 to ensure smooth lifting and lowering of the bracket. When the bracket carrying the pallet reaches the designated height, the motor on the pallet starts, driving the pallet from the bracket into the storage slot 21 of the storage plate 2. The guide openings 22 on both sides of the storage slot 21 facilitate pallet entry and prevent jamming. During the lifting process, if the goods on the bracket touch the limit switch set at the top of the three-dimensional frame 1, the drive motor will stop operating to prevent the bracket from being lifted too high and causing danger, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the entire container frame.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto. Various equivalent modifications or substitutions can be made to the embodiments of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions should all be within the scope of the present invention. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should also be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
