Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent warehousing equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent shelf circulation structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the logistics and warehousing sector, traditional fixed racking suffers from low space utilization and inefficient picking. Although existing circulating racking uses chain drive to move goods, it still has the following drawbacks: 1. Poor transmission stability: Unilateral drive leads to uneven chain force, easily causing vibration and chain derailment; 2. Goods are prone to tipping over: Insufficient rigidity of pallet support structure makes goods prone to swaying when turning; 3. Inadequate space utilization: Limited pallet layout and ineffective development of vertical space; 4. Poor adjustment flexibility: Fixed rack spacing cannot accommodate goods of different sizes; 5. Difficult maintenance: Inconvenient disassembly and assembly of key components increases equipment maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In a preferred embodiment, an intelligent shelf circulating operation structure includes: a three-dimensional frame 1, with at least two parallel and spaced mounting brackets 11 on each of its two sides.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the transmission spindle 2 is respectively set between two mounting brackets 11 and each of its output ends is provided with a first sprocket 21. One end of one of the first sprockets 21 is connected to a drive sprocket 22, and a synchronous connecting rod 23 is connected between the drive sprocket 22 and the other first sprocket 21.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the geared motor 3 is located above the transmission main shaft 2 and is housed in the mounting housing between the two mounting brackets 11.
[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, the drive chain 4 meshes with the output shaft of the reduction motor 3 and the drive sprocket 22;
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the second sprocket 5 is positioned above the geared motor 3 and is positioned between the two mounting brackets 11.
[0043] See also Figure 4 and Figure 7 The chain 6 rotates in a cycle; it meshes with the first sprocket 21 and the second sprocket 5 on both sides respectively;
[0044] The annular fasteners 7 are longitudinally arranged around the circulating chain 6, with a mounting groove 71 at one end and an extension 72 at the top.
[0045] Multiple pallet connection units, including a pair of pallet connection shafts 8 and a pallet connection frame 9;
[0046] The multi-layer pallet assembly 10 has the same number of layers as the number of pallet connection unit groups.
[0047] Specifically, the three-dimensional frame 1 is a cubic skeleton welded from rectangular steel pipes, with adjustable feet on the bottom. Mounting brackets 11 are vertically fixed to the middle area of the inner walls on both sides of the three-dimensional frame 1 by bolts, with two brackets on each side, spaced 1 / 5 of the frame length. The rigid support of the mounting brackets 11 effectively suppresses vibrations such as those of the circulating chain 6. Two first crossbars 12 are located near the lower part of the transmission spindle 2 on both sides of the mounting brackets 11. These first crossbars 12 are fixed between the two mounting brackets 11. The transmission spindle 2 is connected to the first crossbar 12 via a locking assembly, which includes a first locking plate, a locking block, a second locking plate, a connecting rod, and a spring. The first locking plate, locking block, and second locking plate are all sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission main shaft 2. The first locking plate abuts against one end wall of the two mounting brackets 11, the locking block passes through the middle of the two mounting brackets 11, and the second locking plate abuts against the other end wall of the two mounting brackets 11. A connecting rod is located at the bottom of the second locking plate and passes through and connects to the first crossbar 12. A bolt is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 12, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod, which is located between the connecting rod and the first crossbar 12. The two mounting brackets 11 on both sides are provided with second crossbars 13 near the second sprockets 5. The second crossbars 13 are fixed between the two mounting brackets 11, and the second sprockets 5 at both ends are respectively mounted on the second crossbars 13 on both sides.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting groove 71 is an arc-shaped groove, the length of which is parallel to the travel direction of the cyclic chain 6.
[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the pallet connecting frame 9 includes a horizontal main rod 91 and an L-shaped support frame 92, with the L-shaped support frame 92 vertically connected to both sides of the horizontal main rod 91. The horizontal main rod 91 is telescopic, and its matrix storage compartment design allows it to flexibly adapt to the storage needs of goods of different sizes, improving the equipment's versatility and efficiency.
[0050] In some embodiments, the L-shaped support frame 92 includes a triangular vertical baffle 921 and a H-shaped support plate 922 vertically connected to the triangular vertical baffle 921, with side baffles 9221 on both sides of the H-shaped support plate 922.
[0051] In some embodiments, each tray connecting shaft 8 includes a first connecting portion 81, a second connecting portion 82, and an arc-shaped stabilizing portion 83;
[0052] The first connecting part 81 is installed in the mounting groove 71 by bolts; one end of the arc-shaped stabilizing part 83 is connected to the first connecting part 81, and the other end is connected to the second connecting part 82; the end of the second connecting part 82 away from the arc-shaped stabilizing part 83 is connected to the horizontal main rod 91.
[0053] In some embodiments, the curvature center of the arc-shaped stabilizing part 83 faces the tension side of the circulating chain 6.
[0054] In some embodiments, the multi-layer tray assembly 10 includes six layers, each layer including at least one tray 101, and the trays 101 in each layer are staggered. In other embodiments, the multi-layer tray assembly 10 has more than six layers or fewer than six layers.
[0055] In some embodiments, the surface of the tray 101 is divided into 2×5 matrix storage compartments, and the bottom is provided with longitudinal and transverse reinforcing ribs. In other embodiments, the surface of the tray 101 is divided into matrix storage compartments of various sizes.
[0056] Working principle:
[0057] Before operation: Operators should first check the lubrication of the transmission system to ensure that the tension of each chain is appropriate. Place the goods to be stored into the matrix storage compartments of pallet 101, paying attention to the center of gravity of the goods. After connecting the power, set the rack operation program via the control panel, including operating speed and dwell position parameters.
[0058] During operation: After starting the geared motor 3, power is transmitted to the drive sprocket 22 via the drive chain 4. The synchronous connecting rod 23 ensures that the two transmission main shafts 2 rotate synchronously, driving the circulating chain 6 to run smoothly. The pallet connecting shaft 8 installed on the chain moves accordingly, and the arc-shaped stabilizing part 83 effectively buffers the impact force during turning. The L-shaped support frame 92 carries the pallet 101 to move cyclically along the set path, and the triangular vertical baffle 921 and the side baffle 9221 work together to prevent the goods from slipping. When the goods reach the storage and retrieval position, the rack automatically stops, and the operator can safely retrieve and place the goods. The six-layer pallet adopts a staggered layout, maximizing the use of space while ensuring that the storage and retrieval of goods on each layer is unobstructed.
[0059] After work: After completing the task, turn off the power and clean the shelf surface. Regularly check the tightness of the bolts, paying particular attention to the connection status of mounting slot 71. Lubricate and maintain the drive chain, removing accumulated dust and debris. The detachable design allows for easy replacement of worn pallet connecting shaft 8 or support frame components. When not in use for extended periods, exposed metal parts must be treated for rust prevention.
[0060] This invention solves the problem of unstable operation of traditional circulating shelving by using innovative dual-axis synchronous transmission and an arc-shaped stabilizing structure; the six-layer staggered pallet 101 layout significantly improves space utilization; and the modular design greatly reduces maintenance difficulty. These improvements together achieve the efficient and stable operation of the intelligent warehousing system.

The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
