Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of warehousing and logistics technology, specifically relating to a fully automatic long-distance cargo transfer platform. Background Technology

[0002] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) are warehouse systems that utilize high-rise racking, advanced warehousing machinery (such as stacker cranes), and automated control systems, managed and controlled by computers. They enable the automatic storage and retrieval of goods without direct manual handling. A complete AS / RS hardware system includes: high-rise racking, stacker cranes, inbound and outbound conveyor systems, and detection and identification systems. The inbound and outbound conveyor system is the "artery" connecting the AS / RS to the external work area, typically using AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) / AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) to automatically transport goods to or from the stacker crane interface.

[0003] In actual operation, to avoid situations where AGVs / AMRs carrying goods are waiting for stacker cranes to store them, or stacker cranes carrying goods with their forks waiting for AGVs / AMRs to retrieve them, thus affecting the overall storage and retrieval efficiency and throughput of the automated warehouse, a manual transfer station is usually set up between the AGVs / AMRs and stacker cranes for temporary storage. However, when the distance between the transfer station and the high-level racking is long, manually pushing the transfer station back and forth between the AGVs / AMRs and stacker cranes is not only inefficient but also places a heavy burden on employees. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a fully automated long-distance transfer station to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic long-distance cargo transfer platform to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic long-distance cargo transfer platform, comprising: A slide rail assembly, comprising two parallel slide rails, a slider slidably connected to the slide rails, and an electromagnetic locking device fixed at both ends of the slider; A support frame is fixedly installed on the top of the slider. Limit blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the support frame. Anti-collision heads corresponding to the limit blocks are fixed at both ends of one side of the slide rail. A drag chain groove is provided on one side of one of the slide rails. A drag chain is provided in the drag chain groove. A cable electrically connected to the slider is provided in the drag chain. The pallet is set on top of the support frame, and the pallet includes several longitudinal bars arranged at equal intervals and several transverse bars fixed at equal intervals to the top of the longitudinal bars; The control mechanism includes an electrical control box, a mounting rod, and a button box. The electrical control box is fixed to one side of one of the slide rails, the mounting rod is fixed to one side of the electrical control box, and the button box is fixed to the top of the mounting rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the slider reciprocates on the top of the slide rail via an electromagnetic drive module, which is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the electromagnetic locking device includes an electromagnetic locking block and a locking drive component. The electromagnetic locking block is movably mounted on both ends of the slider, and the locking drive component is fixed inside the slider and drivenly connected to the electromagnetic locking block. The electromagnetic locking block is adapted to the locking hole on the slide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the anti-collision head includes a connecting corner piece fixed to the ground by bolts and a rubber buffer block fixed to one side of the connecting corner piece by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixed at the top four corners of the support frame. The limiting plate has an L-shaped structure, and its inner sidewall fits against the sidewall of the tray. In addition, the top of the limiting plate is also provided with a chamfer structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the longitudinal and transverse bars of the tray are fixedly connected by welding, and the bottom of the tray is also provided with reinforcing ribs, which are distributed in a crisscross pattern.

[0011] Furthermore, the electrical control box contains several control modules, which are electrically connected to various electrical appliances. The button box is equipped with operation buttons for controlling the slider to move forward, backward, or stop suddenly.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This fully automatic long-distance cargo transfer platform features an advanced design, compact structure, ease of use, and reliable operation. An electromagnetic drive module drives a slider to reciprocate along a slide rail, achieving fully automatic operation without manual pushing, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing employee workload. Simultaneously, the electromagnetic locking device ensures the slider quickly locks at the designated position, guaranteeing the stability and safety of the cargo transfer platform. The anti-collision head design effectively prevents damage to the support frame caused by it detaching from the slide rail during sliding, extending the equipment's service life. The limiting plate not only effectively limits the pallet, preventing it from shifting during sliding, but its chamfered top structure also facilitates pallet placement and removal. The cross-shaped reinforcing ribs at the bottom of the pallet further enhance its load-bearing capacity, enabling it to handle heavier cargo. The multiple control modules within the electrical control box enable more intelligent and precise operation of the entire cargo transfer platform, while the operation buttons on the button box facilitate employee control of the slider's forward, backward, or emergency stop functions, enhancing the equipment's controllability and safety. In conclusion, this fully automated long-distance cargo transfer platform has broad application prospects and significant potential for widespread adoption in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS).

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The fully automated long-distance cargo transfer station shown includes: The slide rail assembly 100 includes two parallel slide rails 101, and a slider 102 is slidably connected on the slide rails 101. Electromagnetic locking devices 103 are fixed at both ends of the slider 102. A support frame 200 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 102. Limiting blocks 201 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the support frame 200. Anti-collision heads 202 corresponding to the limiting blocks 201 are fixed at both ends of one side of the slide rail 101. A drag chain groove 203 is provided on one side of one of the slide rails 101. A drag chain 204 is provided in the drag chain groove 203. A cable electrically connected to the slider 102 is provided in the drag chain 204. The pallet 300 is disposed on the top of the support frame 200. The pallet 300 includes several longitudinal bars 301 arranged at equal intervals and several transverse bars 302 fixed at equal intervals to the top of the longitudinal bars 301. The control mechanism 400 includes an electrical control box 401, a mounting rod 402, and a button box 403. The electrical control box 401 is fixed to one side of one of the slide rails 101, the mounting rod 402 is fixed to one side of the electrical control box 401, and the button box 403 is fixed to the top of the mounting rod 402.

[0019] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slider 102 slides back and forth on the top of the slide rail 101 via an electromagnetic drive module, and the electromagnetic drive module is electrically connected to the control mechanism 400.

[0020] In this technical solution, the electromagnetic drive module receives command signals from the control mechanism 400 and precisely controls the sliding speed, direction, and stopping position of the slider 102 on the slide rail 101 according to a preset program. Compared with the traditional mechanical drive method, this electromagnetic drive method has advantages such as fast response speed, high control precision, and smooth operation, ensuring that the slider 102 maintains a stable state during long-distance sliding, thereby improving the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire cargo transfer platform.

[0021] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electromagnetic locking device 103 includes an electromagnetic locking block and a locking drive component. The electromagnetic locking block is movably mounted on both ends of the slider 102, and the locking drive component is fixed inside the slider 102 and drivenly connected to the electromagnetic locking block. The electromagnetic locking block is adapted to the locking hole on the slide rail 101.

[0022] In this technical solution, when the slider 102 slides to the designated position, the control mechanism 400 issues a locking command. Upon receiving the command, the locking drive unit quickly actuates, driving the electromagnetic locking block to extend and insert into the corresponding locking hole on the slide rail 101, thereby achieving rapid locking of the slider 102. Compared with the traditional mechanical locking method, this electromagnetic locking method has advantages such as fast locking speed, large locking force, and high reliability. It can effectively prevent the slider 102 from sliding due to external forces during loading, ensuring the stability and safety of the cargo transfer platform. Simultaneously, when unlocking is required, the control mechanism 400 only needs to issue an unlocking command, and the locking drive unit can drive the electromagnetic locking block to retract, allowing the slider 102 to return to its sliding state. The operation is simple and quick.

[0023] For example, see Figures 1-5 As shown, the anti-collision head 202 includes a connecting corner piece 2021 fixed to the ground by bolts and a rubber buffer block 2022 fixed to one side of the connecting corner piece 2021 by bolts.

[0024] In this technical solution, the connecting corner piece 2021 is made of high-strength steel, possessing sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the enormous impact force that the support frame 200 may generate under extreme conditions, ensuring the overall stability of the anti-collision head 202 structure. The rubber buffer block 2022 is made of high-quality rubber material, exhibiting good elasticity and toughness. When the support frame 200 slides to the end of the slide rail 101, the rubber buffer block 2022 first contacts the limiting block 201, absorbing and dispersing the impact energy through its own elastic deformation, greatly reducing the damage to the support frame 200 and the entire cargo transfer platform, effectively extending the equipment's service life. Furthermore, the rubber buffer block 2022 is tightly connected to the connecting corner piece 2021 by bolts. This detachable connection method not only facilitates replacement of the rubber buffer block 2022 after wear, reducing equipment maintenance costs, but also allows for the replacement of rubber buffer blocks 2022 of different specifications and performance according to actual usage needs, adapting to different working environments and load-bearing requirements.

[0025] For example, see Figures 1-5 As shown, limit plates 205 are fixed at the top four corners of the support frame 200. The limit plates 205 have an L-shaped structure, and their inner sidewalls are in contact with the sidewalls of the tray 300. In addition, the top of the limit plates 205 is also provided with a chamfered structure.

[0026] In this technical solution, the inner wall of the limiting plate 205 closely fits the side wall of the pallet 300, providing precise guidance and stable support for the placement of the pallet 300 on the support frame 200. This design effectively prevents goods from falling or equipment damage caused by swaying or shifting of the pallet 300 during sliding, improving the operational stability and safety of the cargo transfer station. Simultaneously, the chamfered structure at the top of the limiting plate 205 not only enhances the appearance of the equipment but also facilitates the placement and removal of the pallet 300 during actual operation. When the pallet 300 is placed on the support frame 200, the chamfered structure guides the pallet 300 smoothly into the space between the limiting plates 205, reducing operational difficulties and time waste caused by inaccurate alignment. Similarly, when removing the pallet 300, the chamfered structure makes it easier for the pallet 300 to slide out from between the limiting plates 205, improving work efficiency. In addition, the limit plate 205 is made of high-strength alloy steel, which has sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the weight of the pallet 300 and the goods on it, ensuring that it will not be deformed or damaged during long-term use, thus further extending the service life of the equipment.

[0027] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, the longitudinal bar 301 and the transverse bar 302 of the pallet 300 are fixedly connected by welding. The bottom of the pallet 300 is also provided with reinforcing ribs 303, which are distributed in a cross pattern.

[0028] In this technical solution, the longitudinal bars 301 and transverse bars 302 of the pallet 300 are fixedly connected by welding. This connection method has advantages such as high connection strength and good stability, ensuring that the pallet 300 will not deform or be damaged due to loosening of the connection between the longitudinal bars 301 and transverse bars 302 during cargo transportation, thus guaranteeing the safe transportation of goods. Simultaneously, the cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 303 at the bottom of the pallet 300 further enhance the overall structural strength of the pallet 300. The reinforcing ribs 303 are made of high-strength alloy steel, and their cross-shaped distribution design allows the pallet 300 to withstand greater loads in all directions, effectively improving the load-bearing capacity of the pallet 300. This design enables the pallet 300 to adapt to the transportation needs of heavier goods, broadening the application range of fully automated long-distance cargo transfer platforms. Furthermore, the addition of reinforcing ribs 303 also increases the rigidity of the pallet 300, reducing vibration and deformation during transportation, and improving the stability and safety of cargo transportation.

[0029] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the electrical control box 401 contains several control modules, which are electrically connected to various electrical appliances. The button box 403 is equipped with operation buttons for controlling the slider 102 to move forward, backward, or stop suddenly.

[0030] In this technical solution, the electrical control box 401, through multiple powerful control modules, can accurately receive and process various instruction signals from the button box 403 and external sensors, and precisely control each electrical appliance according to a preset program. For example, when an employee presses the forward button on the button box 403, the control module will quickly send a corresponding instruction to the electromagnetic drive module, driving the slider 102 to slide forward on the slide rail 101; when the reverse button is pressed, the control module controls the slider 102 to slide backward; and in an emergency, when the emergency stop button is pressed, the control module will immediately cut off all power output, causing the slider 102 to stop sliding quickly, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel. Simultaneously, the control module also has fault diagnosis and protection functions, capable of monitoring the equipment's operating status in real time. Once an abnormality is detected, such as motor overload or short circuit, it will immediately issue an alarm signal and take corresponding protective measures to prevent the fault from escalating and ensure the stable operation of the equipment. The operating buttons on the button box 403 are rationally designed, compactly laid out, and easy to operate. The forward, reverse, and emergency stop buttons are distinguished by different colors and shapes, making it easy for employees to quickly and accurately find and press the corresponding buttons in an emergency. Furthermore, the electrical control box 401 employs a sealed design, effectively preventing dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the box, protecting the internal control modules and electrical components from damage, and extending the equipment's service life. Simultaneously, the electrical control box 401 boasts excellent heat dissipation performance. Through a rationally designed heat dissipation channel and cooling fan, it can promptly dissipate internal heat, ensuring the control modules operate within a suitable temperature environment, thus improving the equipment's reliability and stability.

[0031] Working Principle: When using this fully automatic long-distance cargo transfer platform, the AGV / AMR first places the goods to be transported on the pallet 300. Then, the employee sends a forward command to the control mechanism 400 by operating the forward button on the button box 403. After receiving the command, the control module in the electrical control box 401 quickly sends a corresponding signal to the electromagnetic drive module. The electromagnetic drive module precisely controls the slider 102 to slide forward on the slide rail 101 at an appropriate speed according to the preset program. During the sliding process, the limiting plate 205 on the top of the support frame 200 plays a good role in limiting and guiding the pallet 300, preventing the pallet 300 from deviating or shaking, and ensuring the stability of cargo transportation. At the same time, the rubber buffer block 2022 on the anti-collision head 202 is always in a standby state to prevent collisions when the support frame 200 slides to the end of the slide rail 101. Upon a violent collision, once slider 102 reaches the designated position, control mechanism 400 issues a locking command. The locking drive unit then drives the electromagnetic locking block to extend and insert into the corresponding locking hole on slide rail 101, achieving rapid locking of slider 102 and ensuring the stability of the cargo transfer platform during loading and unloading. After loading and unloading, if continued transportation is required, the employee operates the corresponding button on button box 403 again, and control mechanism 400 issues an unlocking command. The locking drive unit then drives the electromagnetic locking block to retract, allowing slider 102 to return to its sliding state. Then, slider 102 can be controlled to move forward or backward to the next designated position as needed. This cycle repeats, achieving fully automated long-distance cargo transfer and transportation. Throughout the entire operation, the control module monitors the equipment's operating status in real time. If any abnormality is detected, corresponding protective measures are immediately taken to ensure the safety of the equipment and goods.
