While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0024] To address the problem of difficulty in retrieving goods from high storage positions on existing shelves, this application proposes a shelf that, by setting movable storage positions on the upper part of the shelf, enables users to freely retrieve goods from high storage positions on the shelf.
[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a material rack 100 applied to a cargo sorting and distribution scenario, according to an embodiment of this application, is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the rack 100 provided according to the embodiments of this application can be used in conjunction with a chute assembly in the scenario of goods distribution and sorting. Specifically, the rack 100 can be used with any form of distribution equipment and sorting equipment. The goods distributed by the distribution equipment and sorting equipment can slide down into the container on the rack in this application for storage through various forms of chute assemblies.
[0026] The rack 100 provided in the embodiments of this application can also be used alone for storing and retrieving goods.
[0027] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the material rack 100 provided according to an embodiment of this application in its original state is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the rack 100 provided according to an embodiment of this application in the picking state is shown.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, the rack 100 includes a frame 110 (welding sheet), one or more movable storage positions 120 disposed on the frame 110, and one or more static storage positions 130 disposed on the frame 110. Each movable storage position 120 and static storage position 130 can respectively place a container 140 for storing goods, so that goods can be stored in or retrieved from the container 140. Specifically, the one or more movable storage positions 120 are disposed in the upper part (higher position) of the frame 110, serving as high storage positions on the rack 100, so that users can retrieve containers 140 or goods from the high storage positions of the rack. The one or more static storage positions 130 are disposed in the lower part (lower position) of the frame 110, and the one or more static storage positions 130 are located below the one or more movable storage positions 120.
[0029] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, one or more active storage spaces 120 can be provided on the upper part (relatively high position) of the frame 110, and one or more static storage spaces 130 can be provided on the lower part of the frame 110 (below one or more active storage spaces 120), depending on actual needs and the height of the frame 110. Each layer of active storage spaces 120 may include multiple active storage spaces 120 (e.g., four active storage spaces 120), and each layer of static storage spaces 130 may include multiple static storage spaces 130 (e.g., four static storage spaces 130).
[0030] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this application, the active storage position 120 is a storage position that can move relative to the frame 110, and the static storage position 130 is a storage position that is fixed relative to the frame 110. For example, the static storage position 130 can be a fixed plate fixed to the frame 110.
[0031] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the active storage compartment 120 according to an embodiment of this application is shown.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the movable storage space 120 includes a storage panel 121 and a movable component. The storage panel 121 is movably connected to the frame 110 via the movable component, allowing the storage panel 121 to rotate parallel to the frame 110. A container 140 for storing goods can be placed on the storage panel 121 of the movable storage space 120.
[0033] According to the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the rack 100 is in its original state, because the upper part of the rack 100 is relatively high, it is difficult for the user to retrieve the container 140 or goods from the movable storage position 120 at the top of the rack 100. At this time, the user can pull down the movable storage position 120, causing the storage plate 121 of the movable storage position 120 to rotate parallel to the frame 110, thereby pulling the movable storage position 120 down to... Figure 3 The retrieval state shown allows the position of the active storage location 120 to be lowered (relative to its original state), making it easier for the user to retrieve the container 140 or goods from the active storage location 120. Therefore, this application, by providing the active storage location 120 at the top of the rack, enables users to easily retrieve goods from a higher storage location on the rack.
[0034] Specifically, by pulling down the movable storage position 120, the user can rotate the storage plate 121 of the movable storage position 120 relative to the frame 110 from a first position to a second position (the height of the second position is less than the height of the first position), thereby lowering the position of the movable storage position 120 and making it easier for the user to retrieve the container 140 or goods from the movable storage position 120. Correspondingly, after retrieving the container 140 or goods from the movable storage position 120, the user can push the movable storage position 120 upwards, causing the storage plate 121 of the movable storage position 120 to rotate relative to the frame 110 from the second position to the first position, thereby resetting the movable storage position 120 and returning the rack 100 to its original position. Figure 2 The original state shown.
[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the movable components include: four connecting rods 123, a counterclockwise one-way damper 124, a clockwise one-way damper 125, and two hinge mounting bases 126. The counterclockwise one-way damper 124 is fixed to the frame 110 and connected to the storage plate via a connecting rod 123. The clockwise one-way damper 125 is fixed to the frame 110 and connected to the storage plate via a connecting rod 123. The two hinge mounting bases 126 are fixed to the frame 110 and connected to the storage plate via two connecting rods 123 respectively. In one specific embodiment, the counterclockwise one-way damper 124 is connected to the left rear part of the storage plate via a connecting rod 123, the clockwise one-way damper 125 is connected to the right rear part of the storage plate via a connecting rod 123, and the two hinge fixing seats 126 are respectively connected to the left front part and the rear front part of the storage plate via two connecting rods 123.
[0036] In this embodiment, by pulling down the movable storage compartment 120, the storage plate 121 of the movable storage compartment 120 can rotate parallel to the intersection point of the four connecting rods 123 with the counterclockwise one-way damper 124, the clockwise one-way damper 125, and the two hinge fixing seats 126.
[0037] It should be noted that during the process of the user pulling down the movable storage space 120 to make the storage plate 121 of the movable storage space 120 rotate in parallel, the counterclockwise one-way damper 124 and the clockwise one-way damper 125 can share the weight of the movable storage space 120, the container 140 and the goods, so as to reduce the force exerted by the user. In addition, the counterclockwise one-way damper 124 and the clockwise one-way damper 125 can slow down the descent speed of the movable storage space 120 to ensure the safety of the user during the retrieval process.
[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the movable storage compartment 120 also includes a handle 122, which is fixedly connected to the front end of the storage panel 121, so that the user can pull down the movable storage compartment 120 by using the handle 122.
[0039] Specifically, the handle 122 extends downward from the bottom front end of the storage panel 121. As such, the height of the handle 122 is lower than the height of the storage panel 121 and the container 140 on the storage panel 121, thereby making it convenient for the user to pull down the movable storage compartment 120 by operating the handle 122, and then take the container 140 or items from the movable storage compartment 120.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rack 100 also includes multiple feet 160 installed at the bottom of the frame 110 and multiple magnetic baffles 170 installed on one side of the frame 110. By installing feet 160 and magnetic baffles 170 on the frame 110, the rack as a whole becomes more stable and reliable.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rack 100 also includes multiple push-button lights 150 mounted on the frame 110. Each active storage position 120 or static storage position 130 corresponds to one push-button light 150. Thus, when the container 140 of the active storage position 120 or static storage position 130 is full of goods, an alarm can be triggered by the corresponding push-button light 150. Alternatively, when the active storage position 120 is pulled down to the retrieval state, and the storage position is not reset after retrieval, an alarm can be triggered by the push-button light 150 corresponding to the active storage position 120.
[0042] The rack 100 provided according to the embodiments of this application includes a frame, a movable storage space disposed on the upper part of the frame, and a static storage space disposed on the lower part of the frame. The storage plate of the movable storage space is movably connected to the frame through a movable component. By pulling down the movable storage space, the movable storage space can be rotated to a relatively low position, thus enabling users to freely retrieve goods from the high storage space on the rack.
