Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of logistics and warehousing technology, specifically to a warehousing system. Background Technology

[0002] In a warehousing system, multiple storage areas are typically set up to perform different functions, such as storing and sorting goods. Each storage area usually contains at least one carrier, which is equipped with aisles and storage positions. The storage positions are used to store goods, and the aisles connect to the storage positions. Robots can move in the aisles to transport goods between different aisles.

[0003] To ensure separation between storage areas, the aisles within different storage areas are not interconnected, preventing robots from moving items across areas. For example, in a warehousing system, multiple storage areas are set up as temperature zones with different temperatures. To reduce the influence between these zones, partition walls are used to separate them. Due to these partition walls, robots cannot move items across zones (or across temperature zones).

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0048] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0049] Furthermore, in this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" are defined relative to the indicated placement of the components in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the placement of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a warehousing system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0051] In some examples, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the warehousing system 100 includes multiple storage areas 101, each with a different purpose. For example, there is a storage area 101 for receiving and shipping goods, a storage area 101 for shelving / picking items 105, and a storage area 101 for storing items 105. Thus, different storage areas 101 are used to achieve different functions, realizing the partitioned storage of the warehousing system 100.

[0052] In one example, a carrier 102 is provided within the storage area 101. In this way, the storage area 101 can store items 105 through the carrier 102, thereby realizing the partitioned storage of the storage system 100.

[0053] In some examples, in the storage area 101 for storing items 105, a plurality of storage slots 102a for storing items 105 are formed on the vehicle 102.

[0054] For example, there may be one or more vehicles 102 in each storage area 101.

[0055] In some examples, the storage area 101 is also provided with aisles 103, the entrances of which serve as the entrances and exits of vehicles. The aisles 103 connect the aisle entrances to storage positions 102a on the vehicle 102, so that the robot 41 can use the aisles 103 to move items 105 from storage positions 102a to other storage positions 102a or aisle entrances.

[0056] In some examples, when there are multiple carriers 102, the multiple carriers 102 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the carriers 102, and a passageway 103 arranged along the length direction of the carriers 102 can be formed between two adjacent carriers 102 for robots or operators to pass through. Of course, the multiple carriers 102 can also be spaced apart along the length direction of the carriers 102, and a passageway 103 arranged along the width direction of the carriers 102 can be formed between two adjacent carriers 102. This application does not limit this.

[0057] In some examples, when multiple vehicles 102 are formed into a single vehicle 102, the passageway 103 can be part of the vehicle 102. Alternatively, if multiple vehicles 102 are spaced apart, the passageway 103 can be set up independently of the vehicle 102.

[0058] In some examples, if there is only one vehicle 102 and it is large in size, a tunnel 103 may also be formed inside the vehicle 102.

[0059] For example, item 105 may include, but is not limited to, goods, containers containing goods, and empty containers, wherein the container may be a bin, original box, carton, or pallet, etc. In this embodiment, the item 105 placed on storage position 102a is not limited.

[0060] In other embodiments, storage location 102a may include a storage location, a temporary storage location, or a cache storage location.

[0061] In some examples, vehicle 102 can be a stationary vehicle or a mobile vehicle.

[0062] For example, the carrier 102 can be a shelf, support frame, etc., wherein storage storage positions, cache storage positions, and temporary storage positions can be formed on the shelf or support frame.

[0063] In some examples, the vehicle 102 also includes a cargo channel 104, which connects to an aisle 103. Storage units 102a are arranged on at least one side of the aisle 103, and the cargo channel 104 is positioned along the direction of entry and exit of the storage units 102a. This allows the goods 105 to be transferred to other storage units 102a or aisle entrances via the cargo channel 104 and the aisle 103.

[0064] In some examples, the vehicle 102 also includes multiple storage layers, each with at least one storage location 102a. This enables multi-layer storage in the vehicle 102, increasing the storage density within the storage area 101.

[0065] For example, in the case of multiple storage layers, the storage system 100 also includes a lifting mechanism disposed within the storage area 101. The lifting mechanism is used to transfer the height of the item 105 to a target height, thereby changing the storage layer where the item 105 is located, or moving the item 105 to the ground.

[0066] Figure 2 This is another structural schematic diagram of the warehousing system provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is another structural diagram of the warehousing system provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0067] In some examples, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the warehousing system 100 includes a first storage area 1 and a second storage area 2, which are located at different positions within the warehousing system 100. A gap 7 separates the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 to isolate them and facilitate the zoning management of the warehousing system 100.

[0068] It is worth noting that the functions of the first storage area 1 include, but are not limited to, receiving and sending items 105, putting items on shelves / picking items 105, or storing items 105, and the functions of the second storage area 2 include, but are not limited to, receiving and sending items 105, putting items on shelves / picking items 105, or storing items 105. This application does not impose any restrictions on these functions.

[0069] In some examples, the first storage area 1 includes a first path 11. The first path 11 connects to the storage position 102a of the vehicle 102 in the first storage area 1. In this way, the items 105 stored in the first storage area 1 can be moved via the first path 11.

[0070] For example, the first path 11 can be a track or a device such as a conveyor belt for moving the article 105, and this application does not limit it.

[0071] In one example, there is one vehicle 102, which includes a storage layer, and a tunnel 103 is provided corresponding to the storage layer. The tunnel entrance of the tunnel 103 is connected to the first path 11.

[0072] In another example, there is one vehicle 102, which includes multiple storage layers. Each storage layer is provided with a passageway 103. A lifting mechanism is provided at the entrance of the passageway 103. The lifting mechanism is used to adjust the height of the item 105 to the height of the first path 11, which is connected to any level of the passageway 103.

[0073] In another example, there are multiple vehicles 102. Each vehicle 102 includes a storage layer. The tunnel 103 is designed as an integral part of the vehicle 102 and is set independently of the vehicle 102 and connects to each storage location 102a. The tunnel entrance of the tunnel 103 is connected to the first path 11.

[0074] In another example, there are multiple vehicles 102, each vehicle 102 includes a storage layer, and the tunnels 103 of each vehicle 102 are connected to the same tunnel entrance, which is connected to the first path 11.

[0075] It is worth noting that the configuration of the first path 11, the tunnel 103 and the lifting mechanism can be set according to requirements, as long as the first path 11 can be connected to each storage position 102a. This application does not impose any restrictions here.

[0076] It is understandable that the first path 11 can be a separately set track segment (such as...) Figure 2 As shown), it can also be the track formed by the continuation of tunnel 103 (such as...). Figure 3 (As shown), this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0077] In some examples, the second storage area 2 includes a second path 21. The second path 21 connects to the storage position 102a of the vehicle 102 in the second storage area 2. In this way, the items 105 stored in the second storage area 2 can be moved via the second path 21.

[0078] For example, the second path 21 can be a track or a device such as a conveyor belt for moving the article 105, and this application does not limit it in this way.

[0079] It is understandable that the second path 21 can refer to the setting method of the first path 11, and this application will not repeat it here.

[0080] The first path 11 of the first storage area 1 and the second path 21 of the second storage area 2 are not connected. When it is necessary to move items 105 between the two areas, it needs to be done manually, that is, manually moving items 105 between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2. However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency of moving items 105 between the two areas is low, which affects the working efficiency of the storage system 100.

[0081] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a transition device 3 is set between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 to connect the first path 11 of the first storage area 1 and the second path 21 of the second storage area 2 when it is necessary to move items 105. This facilitates the movement of items 105 by automated equipment, improves the efficiency of cross-area movement of items 105, and separates people and personnel in the storage system 100, which is convenient for the zoning management of the storage system 100.

[0082] Figure 4 This is another structural diagram of the warehousing system provided in the embodiments of this application. Wherein, Figure 4 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 4 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0083] In some examples, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the storage system 100 also includes a transition device 3 and a power unit 4. The transition device 3 is configured to move between a first position and a second position. The power unit 4 is configured to move the item 105 between a first storage area 1 and a second storage area 2 via the transition device 3.

[0084] In one example, the transition device 3 is in the first position (e.g.) Figure 4 When shown in (a), the first path 11 and the second path 21 can be connected.

[0085] In one example, the transition device 3 is in the second position (e.g.) Figure 4 As shown in (b), a gap 7 can be made between the first path 11 and the second path 21.

[0086] In this way, by changing the position of the transition device 3, the first path 11 and the second path 21 can be connected or disconnected, thereby enabling the power unit 4 to move the item 105 between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 via the first path 11, the transition device 3 and the second path 21.

[0087] For example, when it is necessary to move item 105 from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2, the transition device 3 is positioned in the first position. Item 105 is moved to the first path 11, where the power unit 4 receives item 105 and transfers it to the second path 21. In this way, item 105 is moved from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2.

[0088] For example, when it is necessary to move item 105 from the second storage area 2 to the first storage area 1, the transition device 3 is positioned in the first position. Item 105 is moved to the second path 21, and the power unit 4 receives item 105 and transfers it to the first path 11. In this way, the item 105 is moved from the second storage area 2 to the first storage area 1.

[0089] For example, when it is not necessary to move the item 105 between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2, the transition device 3 is placed in a second position to disconnect the first path 11 and the second path 21, making the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 independent of each other.

[0090] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a transition device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 5 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0091] Figure 6 This is another structural schematic diagram of the transition device provided in the embodiments of this application. Wherein, Figure 6 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 6 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0092] Figure 7 This is another structural schematic diagram of the transition device provided in the embodiments of this application. Wherein, Figure 7 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 7 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0093] In one example, combining Figures 5 to 7As shown, the transition device 3 includes a transition path 31, which is configured to be movable relative to the first path 11.

[0094] When the transition device 3 is in the first position, the transition path 31 is connected to the first path 11 and the second path 21. When the transition device 3 is in the second position, the transition path 31 is disconnected from either the first path 11 or the second path 21. In this way, the movement of the transition path 31 can connect or disconnect the first path 11 and the second path 21, facilitating the movement of the item 105 between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 by the power unit 4 through the transition device 3.

[0095] Understandably, due to the different modes of operation of the transition device 3, the arrangement of the components of the transition device 3 with the first path 11 and the second path 21 differs when the transition device 3 is in the second position. For example, when the transition device 3 can rotate relative to the first path 11, in the second position, the transition device 3 is disconnected from both the first path 11 and the second path 21. When the transition device 3 can extend or retract relative to the first path 11, in the second position, the transition device 3 is disconnected from the second path 21 but remains connected to the first path 11.

[0096] For example, transition path 31 can be a track.

[0097] In some examples, continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the transition device 3 also includes: a first fixing frame 32 and a second fixing frame 33.

[0098] The first fixed frame 32 is disposed in the first storage area 1, and one end of the first path 11 or the transition path 31 is disposed in the first fixed frame 32. The second fixed frame 33 is disposed in the second storage area 2, and one end of the second path 21 is disposed in the second fixed frame 33. When the transition path 31 is connected to the second path 21, the transition path 31 overlaps the second fixed frame 33.

[0099] In this way, the stability of the transition device 3 is improved by using the first fixing frame 32 and the second fixing frame 33, and the relative positions between the first path 11, the second path 21 and the transition path 31 are fixed, thereby improving the stability and safety of the system.

[0100] In one example, the transition path 31 may be set only on the first fixing frame 32, with one end of the first path 11 set on one side of the first fixing frame 32, so that the transition path 31 can dock with the first path 11 when it is in motion.

[0101] In another example, only one end of the first path 11 can be set on the first fixing frame 32, so that the transition path 31 is set on one side of the first fixing frame 32, so that the transition path 31 can dock with the first path 11 when it moves.

[0102] In another example, one end of the first path 11 and the transition path 31 can be sequentially placed on the first fixed frame 32 so that the transition path 31 can dock with the first path 11 when it is in motion.

[0103] In some examples, continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first fixing frame 32 includes a first body and a plurality of first legs 321. The first legs 321 are disposed at the top corners of the bottom surface of the first body, and the first legs 321 are used to support the first body and improve the relative stability between the first body and the ground.

[0104] For example, the first fixing frame 32 also includes a first rubber pad, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the first support leg 321. In this way, the first rubber pad increases the friction between the first fixing frame 32 and the ground, reduces the movement of the first fixing frame 32 relative to the ground, and improves stability.

[0105] In some examples, the first body includes a first support portion, and the first end of the first path 11 is disposed on the first support portion.

[0106] For example, one end of the first path 11 is fixedly disposed on the first support to prevent relative movement between the first path 11 and the first fixed frame 32, thereby reducing the difficulty of docking the first path 11 and the transition path 31.

[0107] For example, transition path 31 is set on the first body and is movable relative to the first body.

[0108] In some examples, continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the second fixing frame 33 includes a second main body and a plurality of second legs 332. The second legs 332 are disposed at the top corners of the bottom surface of the second main body, and the second legs 332 are used to support the second main body and improve the relative stability between the second main body and the ground.

[0109] For example, the second mounting bracket 33 also includes a second rubber pad, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the second support leg 332. In this way, the use of the second rubber pad increases the friction between the second mounting bracket 33 and the ground, reduces the movement of the second mounting bracket 33 relative to the ground, and improves stability.

[0110] In some examples, the second body includes a second support portion, and the second end of the second path 21 is disposed on the second support portion.

[0111] For example, one end of the second path 21 is fixedly disposed on the second support to prevent relative movement between the second path 21 and the second fixed frame 33, thereby reducing the difficulty of docking the second path 21 and the transition path 31.

[0112] In some examples, the second body includes a third support portion, with one end of the transition path 31 overlapping the third support portion when the transition path 31 aligns with the second path 21.

[0113] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the transition device 3 further includes a first driving member 36. The first driving member 36 is drively connected to the transition path 31 and is configured to drive the transition path 31 to move relative to the first path 11 and the second path 21. In other words, the first driving member 36 can engage the transition path 31 with the first path 11 and the second path 21, or disconnect the transition path 31 from either the first path 11 or the second path 21. Thus, the first driving member 36 provides power to the transition path 31, enabling automated movement of the transition path 31.

[0114] For example, the first driving element 36 includes a drive motor, the output end of which is connected to the transition path 31 in a transmission manner.

[0115] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, transition path 31 is configured to rotate relative to first path 11.

[0116] For example, when it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the first position to the second position, the transition path 31 rotates counterclockwise about the first axis 361. When it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the second position to the first position, the transition path 31 rotates clockwise about the first axis 361.

[0117] In one example, the transition path 31 includes a rotating track body rotatably mounted on a first fixed frame 32.

[0118] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, transition path 31 is configured to slide relative to first path 11.

[0119] For example, when it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the first position to the second position, the transition path 31 slides along the extension direction of the first path 11 and toward the second path 21. When it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the second position to the first position, the transition path 31 slides along the extension direction of the first path 11 and toward the first path 11.

[0120] In one example, the transition path 31 includes a sliding track body that is slidably mounted on a first fixed frame 32.

[0121] For example, the first fixed frame 32 includes a slide rail, which includes a first sliding section, a second sliding section, and a third sliding section arranged sequentially. The first and third sliding sections are both along the extension direction of the first path 11, and the second sliding section is arranged obliquely upward toward the second path 21. The first driving member 36 is used to drive the sliding track body to slide along the slide rail.

[0122] Thus, with the transition device 3 in the second position, the first driving member 36 drives the sliding track body located below the first path 11 to slide along the first sliding section, so that the sliding track body moves away from below the first path 11. Further, the first driving member 36 drives the sliding track body to slide along the second sliding section, thereby raising the height of the sliding track body. The first driving member 36 then drives the sliding track body to slide along the third sliding section, so that one end of the sliding track body overlaps with the second fixing frame 33.

[0123] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, transition path 31 is configured to be scalable relative to the first path 11.

[0124] For example, when it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the first position to the second position, the transition path 31 extends. When it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the second position to the first position, the transition path 31 extends or retracts.

[0125] In one example, the transition path 31 includes a telescopic track body that is telescopically mounted on a first fixed frame 32.

[0126] It is worth noting that the main body of the telescopic track is a single-stage telescopic rod or a multi-stage telescopic rod, which can be set according to the required length of the transition path 31. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0127] It should be emphasized that when the transition device 3 is in the second state, the end of the transition path 31 extends beyond the end of the first fixing frame 32, or the end of the transition path 31 is located inside the first fixing frame 32. It can be set according to the required length of the transition path 31, the required gap 7 width between the first path 11 and the second path 21, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0128] In one example, the power unit 4 includes a robot 41. The robot 41 is capable of carrying an item 105 and can move along a first path 11, a transition path 31, and a second path 21 to move the carried item 105 between a first storage area 1 and a second storage area 2.

[0129] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the handling of items provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0130] For example, in combination Figure 8 As shown, when item 105 is stored in the first storage area 1, robot 41 is also configured to transfer item 105 from storage position 102a of carrier 102 in the first storage area 1 to the first path 11, and then move along the transition path 31 to the second path 21, realizing cross-area transport of item 105. Furthermore, when item 105 needs to be stored in the second storage area 2, robot 41 is also configured to transfer item 105 from the second path 21 to storage position 102a of carrier 102 located in the second storage area 2.

[0131] For example, when item 105 is stored in the second storage area 2, robot 41 is also configured to transfer item 105 from storage position 102a of carrier 102 in the second storage area 2 to the second path 21, and then move along the transition path 31 to the first path 11, realizing cross-area transport of item 105. Furthermore, when item 105 needs to be stored in the first storage area 1, robot 41 is also configured to transfer item 105 from the first path 11 to storage position 102a of carrier 102 located in the first storage area 1.

[0132] In one example, continue to refer to Figure 8 As shown, the robot 41 includes a mobile chassis 411 and a support component 412. The support component 412 can be mounted on the mobile chassis 411, so that the mobile chassis 411 can drive the lifting component to move. At the same time, the support component 412 can carry the item 105.

[0133] For example, the support component 412 can also drive the item 105 to move up and down, thereby enabling the item 105 to be moved to different heights as needed.

[0134] In some examples, when the support component 412 moves the item 105 up and down, the item 105 can be placed on the storage position 102a, or the item 105 can be lifted to leave the storage position 102a.

[0135] Figure 9 This is another structural schematic diagram of the transition device provided in the embodiments of this application. In this diagram, the transition device 3 is in the second position.

[0136] In some examples, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the transition device 3 further includes a first docking path 34 and a second docking path 35. The first docking path 34 is disposed on the first fixing frame 32, and the second docking path 35 is disposed on the second fixing frame 33. The first docking path 34 docks with the first path 11, and the second docking path 35 docks with the second path 21. The transition path 31 is configured to be movable relative to the first docking path 34.

[0137] When the transition device 3 is in the first position, the transition path 31 is connected to the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35. When the transition device 3 is in the second position, the transition path 31 is disconnected from the first docking path 34 or the second docking path 35.

[0138] In this way, by setting the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35, when installing the transition device 3, it is only necessary to dock the first docking path 34 and the first path 11, which will not move, as well as the second docking path 35 and the second path 21, thus reducing the complexity of installation.

[0139] For example, the first drive member 36 can drive the transition path 31 to move relative to the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35, so that the transition path 31 docks with the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35, or disconnects the transition path 31 from the first docking path 34 or the second docking path 35.

[0140] For example, when installing the transition device 3, after docking the first path 11 and the first docking path 34, the first path 11 is fixed on the first fixing frame 32, and after docking the second path 21 and the second docking path 35, the second path 21 is fixed on the second fixing frame 33.

[0141] For example, when robot 41 needs to move item 105 from first storage area 1 to second storage area 2, robot 41 carries item 105 and moves sequentially along first path 11, first docking path 34, transition path 31, second docking path 35 and second path 21.

[0142] When robot 41 needs to move item 105 from second storage area 2 to first storage area 1, robot 41 carries item 105 and moves sequentially along second path 21, second docking path 35, transition path 31, first docking path 34 and first path 11.

[0143] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the power device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0144] In some examples, such as Figure 10 As shown, the power unit 4 includes a second drive member 42 and a transmission member 43.

[0145] A conveyor 43 is disposed on the transition device 3 and is configured to carry the item 105. A second drive 42 is drively connected to the conveyor 43 and is configured to drive the conveyor 43 to move, thereby moving the item 105 located on the conveyor 43. In this way, the second drive 42 drives the conveyor belt to move, thereby actively moving the item 105 located on the conveyor 43.

[0146] For example, when it is necessary to move item 105 from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2, the second drive member 42 drives the conveyor member 43 to move in a first direction to move item 105 from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2.

[0147] When it is necessary to move item 105 from the second storage area 2 to the first storage area 1, the second drive member 42 drives the conveyor member 43 to move in the second direction to move item 105 from the second storage area 2 to the first storage area 1.

[0148] The first direction and the second direction are opposite directions.

[0149] For example, the second driving element 42 is a drive motor.

[0150] For example, the conveyor 43 is at least one of a conveyor belt, a conveyor roller, a conveyor wheel, or a conveyor rolling element. In this way, the active handling of the article 105 can be achieved by means of the conveyor belt, conveyor roller, conveyor wheel, or conveyor rolling element.

[0151] In one example, the transition device 3 further includes a first docking position and a second docking position, which are respectively located at opposite ends of the conveyor belt and below the conveyor belt. The first docking position is close to the first storage area 1, and the second docking position is close to the second storage area 2. Both the first and second docking positions are used for the robot 41 to dock to place or remove items 105 on the conveyor belt.

[0152] For example, when it is necessary to move item 105 from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2, the first robot in the first storage area 1 carries item 105 and moves along the first path 11 to one end of the conveyor belt. The first robot raises the support component 412 so that the item 105 is higher than the conveyor belt and moves to the first docking position. The first robot then lowers the support component 412 to place item 105 on the conveyor belt. The second drive component 42 drives the conveyor belt to rotate in the first direction so that item 105 moves to one side of the second storage area 2. The second robot in the second storage area 2 is docked at the second docking position. The second robot raises the support component 412 to receive item 105, and then moves away from the second docking position along the second path 21 and lowers the support component 412. In this way, item 105 is moved from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2.

[0153] For example, when it is necessary to move item 105 from the second storage area 2 to the first storage area 1, the second robot 41 of the second storage area 2 carries item 105 and moves along the second path 21 to one end of the conveyor belt. The second robot 41 raises the support component 412 so that the item 105 is higher than the conveyor belt and moves to the second docking position. The second robot 41 lowers the support component 412 to place item 105 on the conveyor belt. The second drive component 42 drives the conveyor belt to rotate in the second direction so that item 105 moves to one side of the first storage area 1. The first robot 41 of the first storage area 1 is docked at the first docking position. The first robot 41 raises the support component 412 to receive item 105. The first robot 41 leaves the first docking position along the first path 11 and lowers the support component 412. In this way, item 105 is moved from the second storage area 2 to the first storage area 1.

[0154] Figure 11 This is another structural schematic diagram of the transition device provided in the embodiments of this application. Wherein, Figure 11 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 11 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0155] Figure 12 This is another structural schematic diagram of the transition device provided in the embodiments of this application. Wherein, Figure 12 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 12 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0156] Figure 13 This is another structural schematic diagram of the transition device provided in the embodiments of this application. Wherein, Figure 13 (a) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the first position. Figure 13 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transition device 3 in the second position.

[0157] In some examples, refer to Figures 11 to 13 The transition device 3 includes a support 37. The support 37 is configured to be movable relative to the first path 11, and the conveyor 43 is disposed on the support 37. In this way, the support 37 is used to support the conveyor 43 and to move the conveyor 43.

[0158] When the transition device 3 is in the first position, the conveyor 43 provided on the bracket 37 is connected to the first path 11 and the second path 21. When the transition device 3 is in the second position, the conveyor 43 provided on the bracket 37 is disconnected from the first path 11 or the second path 21.

[0159] In some examples, continue to refer to Figures 11 to 13 The transition device 3 further includes a third drive member 38. The third drive member 38 is drively connected to the bracket 37 and is configured to drive the bracket 37 to move relative to the first path 11 and the second path 21, so that the conveyor 43 disposed on the bracket 37 docks with the first path 11 and the second path 21, or disconnects the conveyor 43 disposed on the bracket 37 from the first path 11 or the second path 21.

[0160] In this way, the support 37 can be moved, thereby driving the conveyor 43 set on the support 37 to move, so that the conveyor 43 can be connected or disconnected from the first path 11 and the second path 21, so as to separate or connect the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2, which facilitates the zoning management of the storage system 100 and improves the work efficiency of cross-zone handling of goods 105.

[0161] For example, the third drive component 38 includes a drive motor, the output end of which is connected to the bracket 37 in a transmission manner.

[0162] For example, the third drive member 38 can drive the bracket 37 to move relative to the first path 11 and the second path 21, so that the bracket 37 docks with the first path 11 and the second path 21, or disconnects the bracket 37 from the first path 11 or the second path 21.

[0163] For example, the bracket 37 is disposed on the first body of the first fixing frame 32 and is movable relative to the third body.

[0164] In some examples, the second body of the second fixture 33 includes a fourth support portion, and one end of the fixture 37 overlaps the fourth support portion when the conveyor 43 disposed on the bracket 37 docks with the second path 21.

[0165] For example, the first docking position is provided on the first fixed frame 32, and the second docking position is provided on the second fixed frame 33.

[0166] In some examples, the bracket 37 is movably disposed between the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35.

[0167] When the transition device 3 is in the first position, the conveyor 43 provided on the bracket 37 is connected to the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35. When the transition device 3 is in the second position, the conveyor 43 provided on the bracket 37 is disconnected from the first docking path 34 or the second docking path 35.

[0168] Understandably, due to the different modes of movement of the transition device 3, the arrangement of the components of the transition device 3 with the first docking path 34 or the second docking path 35 differs when the transition device 3 is in the second position. For example, when the transition device 3 can rotate relative to the first docking path 34, in the second position, the transition device 3 is disconnected from both the first docking path 34 and the second docking path 35. When the transition device 3 can extend or retract relative to the first docking path 34, in the second position, the transition device 3 is disconnected from the second docking path 35, but remains docked with the first docking path 34.

[0169] For example, when robot 41 needs to move item 105 from first storage area 1 to second storage area 2, robot 41 carries item 105 and moves sequentially along first path 11, first docking path 34, conveyor 43, second docking path 35 and second path 21.

[0170] When robot 41 needs to move item 105 from second storage area 2 to first storage area 1, robot 41 carries item 105 and moves sequentially along second path 21, second docking path 35, conveyor 43, first docking path 34 and first path 11.

[0171] It is worth noting that the specific settings of the first docking path 34 can refer to the above-described setting method of the first docking path 34, and the specific settings of the second docking path 35 can refer to the above-described setting method of the second docking path 35. This application will not repeat them here.

[0172] In some examples, such as Figure 11 As shown, the bracket 37 is configured to rotate relative to the first path 11.

[0173] For example, when it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the first position to the second position, the bracket 37 rotates counterclockwise about the second pivot 381. When it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the second position to the first position, the bracket 37 rotates clockwise about the second pivot 381.

[0174] In one example, the bracket 37 includes a rotating bracket 37 rotatably mounted on the first fixed bracket 32.

[0175] For example, transition path 31 is configured to rotate relative to first docking path 34.

[0176] In some examples, such as Figure 12 As shown, the bracket 37 is configured to slide relative to the first path 11.

[0177] For example, when it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the first position to the second position, the bracket 37 slides along the extension direction of the first path 11 and toward the second path 21. When it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the second position to the first position, the bracket 37 slides along the extension direction of the first path 11 and toward the first path 11.

[0178] In one example, the bracket 37 includes a sliding bracket 37 slidably disposed on the first fixed bracket 32.

[0179] For example, the first fixed frame 32 includes a second slide rail, which includes a fourth sliding segment, a fifth sliding segment, and a sixth sliding segment arranged sequentially. The fourth and sixth sliding segments are both arranged along the extension direction of the first path 11, and the fifth sliding segment faces the second path 21 and is arranged obliquely upward. The third driving member 38 is used to drive the sliding bracket 37 to slide along the second slide rail.

[0180] Thus, with the transition device 3 in the second position, the third drive member 38 drives the sliding bracket 37 located below the first path 11 to slide along the fourth sliding section, so that the sliding bracket 37 moves away from below the first path 11. Further, the third drive member 38 drives the sliding bracket 37 to slide along the fourth sliding section, thereby raising the height of the sliding bracket 37. The third drive member 38 then drives the sliding bracket 37 to slide along the third sliding section, so that one end of the sliding bracket 37 overlaps with the second fixing frame 33.

[0181] For example, the bracket 37 can slide relative to the first docking path 34.

[0182] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, the bracket 37 is configured to extend or retract relative to the first path 11.

[0183] For example, when it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the first position to the second position, the bracket 37 extends. When it is necessary to change the transition device 3 from the second position to the first position, the bracket 37 extends or retracts.

[0184] In one example, the bracket 37 includes a telescopic bracket that is telescopically mounted on the first fixed frame 32.

[0185] It is worth noting that the telescopic support can be a single-stage telescopic rod or a multi-stage telescopic rod, and the specific design can be set according to the required length of the support 37. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0186] For example, the bracket 37 is configured to extend or retract relative to the first docking path 34.

[0187] It should be emphasized that when the transition device 3 is in the second state, the end of the bracket 37 extends beyond the end of the first fixed frame 32, or the end of the bracket 37 is located inside the first fixed frame 32. It can be set according to the required length of the bracket 37, the required gap 7 width between the first path 11 and the second path 21, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0188] In some examples, conveying components may be respectively installed above the first path 11 and the second path 21 to form a complete conveying chain with the transition device 3, thereby realizing the automatic conveying of the item 105 between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2.

[0189] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram showing the location of the transmitting component provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0190] In one example, such as Figure 14 As shown in (a), by placing the first path 11, the second path 21 and the conveyor 43 in the same horizontal plane, the robot 41 and the items 105 it carries can be transferred to the first storage area 1 or the second storage area 2 via the conveyor 43.

[0191] For example, when the transition device 3 is in the second position, the robot 41 carrying the item 105 moves to one end of the conveyor 43, and the conveyor 43 works to transfer both the robot 41 and the item 105 to the first storage area 1 or the second storage area 2.

[0192] In another example, such as Figure 14 As shown in (b), by positioning the conveyor 43 above the horizontal plane where the first path 11 and the second path 21 are located, it is possible for the robot 41 to place the item 105 on the conveyor 43, and then for the conveyor 43 to transfer the item 105 to the first storage area 1 or the second storage area 2.

[0193] For example, when the transition device 3 is in the second position, the robot 41, carrying the item 105, moves to one end of the conveyor 43. The supporting component 412 of the robot 41 rises relative to the moving chassis 411 so that the height of the item 105 is higher than that of the conveyor 43. After the robot 41 moves to the first docking position, the supporting component 412 lowers relative to the moving chassis 411 to place the item 105 on the conveyor 43. The conveyor 43 operates to transfer the item 105 to the other end of the conveyor 43. The supporting component 412 of the robot 41, located at the second docking position, rises relative to the moving chassis 411 to receive the item 105. After the robot 41, located at the second docking position, leaves the second docking position, the supporting component 412 lowers relative to the moving chassis 411 to lower the center of gravity of the item 105 and improve stability. In this way, the item is transferred from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2.

[0194] It is worth noting that the process of transferring items from the first storage area 1 to the second storage area 2 can be referred to as the reverse process described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0195] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the partition door and transition device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0196] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the storage system 100 also includes: partitions 5 and partition doors 6.

[0197] The following combination Figure 1 and Figure 15 Taking the transition device 3 as an example of the transition path 31, the partition 5 and the partition door 6 will be explained.

[0198] A partition 5 is disposed between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2, and the partition 5 is configured to separate the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2. A partition door 6 is formed on the partition 5, and the partition door 6 is configured to be movable relative to the partition 5. In other words, the partition door 6 can move within the gap 7 to connect or separate the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2.

[0199] When the partition door 6 is closed, the transition device 3 is in the second position.

[0200] This facilitates the partitioned management of the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2. Furthermore, by setting up partition doors 6, the partition doors 6 can be opened to connect the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 when it is necessary to move items 105 across areas.

[0201] For example, when the partition door 6 is open, there is a gap 7 between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2. When the transition device 3 is in the first position, the transition path 31 or the bracket 37 of the transition device 3 is located within the gap 7.

[0202] In some examples, there is a temperature difference between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2. In this way, multiple temperature zones are constructed in the storage system 100 to store the item 105 according to different storage temperatures.

[0203] Specifically, in a storage system 100 comprising multiple temperature zones, if manual handling of goods 105 across these zones is employed, the physical limitations of human workers often necessitate leaving the cold storage warehouse after a period of work to rest outside. The rest period depends on the temperature zone in which the work is conducted. This results in low overall efficiency for manual operations, making it difficult to meet the needs of sporadic outbound shipments, or requiring significant manpower. Therefore, by employing the transition device 3 and power device 4 provided in this application, automated cross-temperature zone handling of goods 105 can be achieved, reducing the required manpower and separating personnel from workers.

[0204] For example, the storage system 100 may include multiple temperature zones, such as ambient temperature, -5°C, -18°C and -25°C.

[0205] In one example, the partition door 6 is an insulated door, which reduces the mutual temperature influence between the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2.

[0206] In some examples, the first storage area 1 and the second storage area 2 store items 105 of different types. In this way, the mutual influence between items can be achieved through partitioned storage.

[0207] For example, the first storage area 1 stores cosmetics, while the second storage area 2 stores food. This separate storage can reduce the mutual influence between different types of items 105.
