Detailed Implementation

[0039] This utility model discloses an automated profile storage device to solve the technical problem that existing profiles are generally stacked on-site, resulting in a large amount of production space being occupied and affecting the efficiency of picking and placing.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides an automated profile storage device, including a support frame 1;

[0042] The support frame 1 is provided with a storage rack 4 for storing the bracket 6 containing the profiles. The storage rack 4 has multiple placement positions along the Z-axis.

[0043] The support frame 1 is equipped with a lifting drive assembly 3, which is connected to a pick-and-place assembly 2. The lifting drive assembly 3 is used to drive the pick-and-place assembly 2 to move along the Z-axis inside the support frame 1 so that the pick-and-place assembly 2 is positioned relative to the placement position.

[0044] The bottom of the support frame 1 is provided with a pick-up and put-out opening, and a feeding component 5 is provided in the pick-up and put-out opening. The feeding component 5 is used to transport the bracket 6 to the pick-up and put-out component 2 or to output the bracket 6 from the pick-up and put-out component 2.

[0045] In the automated profile storage equipment of this embodiment, profiles can be automatically stored and retrieved. Taking profile storage as an example, the profiles are placed on the tray 6. The feeding component 5 feeds the tray 6 from the pick-and-place port into the interior of the support frame 1. At this time, the pick-and-place component 2 is driven to descend along the Z-axis to align with the feeding component 5. The feeding component 5 transports the tray 6 containing the profiles to the pick-and-place component 2. After receiving the tray 6, the pick-and-place component 2 is driven to rise to move to the position corresponding to the storage rack placement position. Then, the pick-and-place component 2 transports the tray 6 to the placement position, thereby completing the storage of the profiles. Similarly, the retrieval of profiles can be achieved by reversing the above process.

[0046] The above design can effectively realize the automated storage and retrieval of profiles, greatly improve the efficiency of picking and placing, and effectively reduce the space occupied by profiles in the production site, and avoid collision damage caused by the stacking of profiles as much as possible.

[0047] Furthermore, the storage rack 4 in this embodiment includes a pair of longitudinal supports 401 arranged opposite each other along the X-axis direction;

[0048] At least one transverse support 403 is provided between a pair of longitudinal supports 401;

[0049] The longitudinal support 401 is provided with a plurality of partitions 402 spaced apart along the Z-axis direction, and the placement position for storing the bracket 6 is formed between two adjacent partitions 402.

[0050] It should be noted that, through the above design, the horizontal support 403 is set between a pair of vertical supports 401, which can improve the structural strength of the storage rack 4 and enable it to effectively support the stored profiles.

[0051] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a base, a first Y-guide rail 502, a first horizontal drive assembly, and a conveyor table 501 that supports the bracket 6;

[0052] The first Y-guide rail 502 is disposed on the base, the conveyor table 501 is slidably connected to the first Y-guide rail 502, the first horizontal drive assembly is disposed on the base and connected to the conveyor table 501, and the first horizontal drive assembly is used to drive the conveyor table 501 to move along the first Y-guide rail 502 to enter and exit the support frame 1 from the pick-up and drop-off port.

[0053] It should be noted that, through the above design, the first horizontal drive component drives the conveyor table 501 to move on the first Y guide rail 502, so that the bracket 6 with the profile can enter into the interior of the support frame 1 or leave the interior of the support frame 1 through the pick-and-place port.

[0054] In addition, the bottom of the aforementioned conveyor table 501 is designed with rollers, which are slidably connected to the first Y-guide rail 502 through the rollers.

[0055] The first horizontal drive assembly in this embodiment has several possible structures. In one specific implementation, the first horizontal drive assembly can use a motor in conjunction with a sprocket and a chain to drive the conveyor table 501 to move along the first Y-guide rail 502. In another specific implementation, the first horizontal drive assembly can use a motor in conjunction with a lead screw to drive the conveyor table 501 to move along the first Y-guide rail 502.

[0056] In addition, the smoothness of the movement of the conveyor 501 can be improved by moving it along the first Y-guide rail 502.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bracket 6 has a placement groove 601 for placing profiles inside, and a first hook 602 is provided on the outer side of the bracket 6.

[0058] It should be noted that, through the above design, the placement groove 601 is used to place the profile. In addition, the bottom of the placement groove 601 can be designed with a certain inclination angle to avoid the profile from rolling violently and causing damage.

[0059] Furthermore, the pick-and-place component 2 in this embodiment includes a lifting seat 201, a second horizontal drive component 202, and a second Y-guide rail 203 that can be movably connected to the bracket 6;

[0060] The lifting seat 201 is connected to the lifting drive assembly 3, the second Y guide rail 203 is disposed on the lifting seat 201, the second horizontal drive assembly 202 is disposed on the lifting seat 201, and the second horizontal drive assembly 202 is connected to a second hook that cooperates with the first hook 602.

[0061] It should be noted that the specific working principle of the pick-and-place component 2 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] Taking the storage profile as an example, after the feeding component 5 sends the bracket 6 containing the profile into the support frame 1, the pick-and-place component 2 is driven down to the position corresponding to the feeding component 5. At this time, the second hook approaches the bracket 6 under the drive of the second horizontal drive component 202 and engages with the first hook 602 on the bracket 6. Under the drive of the second horizontal drive component 202, the second hook pulls the bracket 6 into the second Y guide rail 203, thereby moving the bracket 6 from the first Y guide rail 502 to the second Y guide rail 203, that is, from the feeding component 5 to the pick-and-place component 2. Then, the pick-and-place component 2 moves to the position corresponding to the placement position under the drive of the lifting drive component 3. At this time, the second horizontal drive component 202 drives the second hook to move and pushes the bracket 6 into the placement position.

[0063] Additionally, it should be noted that in one specific embodiment, in order to facilitate the disengagement of the second hook from the first hook 602, the second hook may be connected to a linear drive component such as a cylinder, and the linear drive component such as the cylinder is connected to the second horizontal drive assembly 202. The linear drive component such as the cylinder can achieve the engagement or disengagement of the first hook 602 and the second hook by driving the second hook to reciprocate.

[0064] Furthermore, the structure of the second horizontal drive assembly 202 described above can be varied. In one specific embodiment, the second horizontal drive assembly 202 can be driven by a motor in conjunction with a sprocket and a chain to move the second hook in the Y-axis direction. In another specific embodiment, the first horizontal drive assembly can be driven by a motor in conjunction with a lead screw to move the second hook along the first Y-guide rail 502.

[0065] Furthermore, the lifting drive assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 301, a first transmission rod 302, a second transmission rod 303, and a transmission chain 304;

[0066] The drive motor 301 is mounted on the top of the support frame 1 and connected to the first transmission rod 302. The second transmission rod 303 is connected to the first transmission rod 302 through the transmission chain 304 so as to be driven to rotate synchronously with the first transmission rod 302.

[0067] The first transmission rod 302 is provided with a first sprocket 305 at its end, and the second transmission rod 303 is provided with a second sprocket 306 at its end;

[0068] The lifting seat 201 has an end plate 204. A third sprocket 205 is disposed on the end plate 204 at a position corresponding to the first sprocket 305, and a fourth sprocket 206 is disposed on the end plate 204 at a position corresponding to the second sprocket 306. A first lifting chain 307 is connected between the first sprocket 305 and the third sprocket 205. One section of the first lifting chain 307 is connected to the support frame 1. A second lifting chain 308 is connected between the second sprocket 306 and the fourth sprocket 206. The first lifting chain 307 and the second lifting chain 308 are connected. Simply put, the first lifting chain 307 and the second lifting chain 308 are essentially two parts of a single chain.

[0069] It should be noted that in the above design, the drive motor 301 is specifically a high-torque motor, so as to meet the lifting requirements of heavy profiles.

[0070] The specific working principle of the aforementioned lifting drive component 3 is as follows:

[0071] The drive motor 301 drives the first transmission rod 302 to rotate. As the first transmission rod 302 rotates, it drives the second transmission rod 303 to rotate synchronously via the transmission chain 304. Then, the first sprocket 305 rotates along with the first transmission rod 302 to drive the first lifting chain 307 to lift the lifting seat 201. Simultaneously, the second sprocket 306 rotates synchronously to drive the second lifting chain 308 to simultaneously lift the lifting seat 201. Through this design, the entire pick-and-place assembly 2 can be smoothly lifted and lowered vertically.

[0072] In another specific embodiment, the lifting drive component 3 described above can be driven by a motor in conjunction with a lead screw to lift the pick-and-place component 2.

[0073] This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the lifting drive component 3; it can be reasonably selected according to the weight of the profile.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end plate 204 is also provided with a pulley, which is slidably connected to the outside of the storage rack 4.

[0075] It should be noted that the above design makes the lifting and placing component 2 more stable and smooth during the lifting and lowering process.

[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of storage racks 4 is two;

[0077] The two storage racks 4 are arranged opposite each other inside the support frame 1, and a Z-axis lifting space 103 is left between the two storage racks 4 for the picking and placing component 2 to lift and lower. The picking and placing component 2 is located in the Z-axis lifting space 103 and can be driven to lift and lower within the Z-axis lifting space 103.

[0078] It should be noted that the above design enables the entire automated profile storage equipment to store more profiles, which is conducive to achieving high-density storage of profiles.

[0079] Furthermore, the support frame 1 in this embodiment also includes a first reinforcing beam 102;

[0080] The two ends of the first reinforcing beam 102 are respectively connected to the two storage racks 4.

[0081] It should be noted that the above design can effectively improve the structural strength of the entire automated profile storage equipment.

[0082] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a pair of intersecting second reinforcing beams 101 are also provided on the outer side of the support frame 1.

[0083] It should be noted that the above design can effectively improve the structural strength of the entire automated profile storage equipment.

[0084] In summary, the design of the aforementioned automated profile storage equipment allows for vertical storage of profiles, saving 50%-80% of floor space compared to traditional flat-ground stacking. It achieves fully automated storage and retrieval, with a significantly faster operating speed than manual or forklift placement, greatly improving the efficiency of profile handling. Furthermore, it effectively reduces bumps, scratches, and deformation of the profiles, ensuring their quality.

[0085] The above provides a detailed description of an automated profile storage device provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
