Description

Technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of storage technology, in particular to a support and a storage system. Background technology

[0002] In a storage system, supports (e.g., racks or pallets for handling robots) are load-bearing structures that assist in the storage of target items. Supports (e.g., racks) are frequently installed in the warehouse to increase its utilization. The supports are arranged in a series of storage positions (also called load positions) along the vertical axis, thereby maximizing the use of the warehouse's vertical space and increasing the storage density of the target items.

[0003] The target item is typically placed into the placeholder by the movement of the handling robot, or the target item is removed from the placeholder by the handling robot. The movement of the target item by the handling robot between the storage position and the robot can cause the target item to slip out of the storage position and fall, thus compromising the security of its storage. Content of the utility model

[0004] Embodiments of the present application provide a carrier and a support system that are able to confine a target article positioned on the carrier, avoid a situation in which the target article slips out of the carrier and falls, and improve the stability and safety of the target article positioned on the carrier.

[0005] According to a first aspect of embodiments of the present application, a carrier is provided which comprises the following: at least one cargo compartment, wherein the cargo compartment has a carrying area and an inlet / outlet, the inlet / outlet being located on one side of the carrying area; wherein the inlet / outlet is provided with a first stop section, the first stop section projecting out of the plane in which the carrying area is located, the first stop section being configured to prevent a target article from slipping out of the carrying area through the inlet / outlet; wherein the side walls of the first stop section are inclined along the entry / exit direction of the target article, and wherein the inclination of the side wall relative to the plane of the carrying area remains constant and / or changes.

[0006] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a bearing system is provided which includes at least one support provided by one of the optional implementations of the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application.

[0007] The embodiments of the carrier and the storage system described in the present application include the arrangement of a first stop section at the inlets and outlets of the storage position, wherein the first stop section projects beyond the support surface of the storage position. The inlets and outlets are located on one side of the support surface. This allows the first stop section to act as a stop after the target item (for example, a material box, packaging box, or carton) has been placed on the support surface, preventing the material box from slipping out of the inlet or outlet and falling due to vibrations of the carrier. This improves the stability and safety of the target item on the carrier.

[0008] Furthermore, the side wall of the first stop section is inclined along the direction of movement of the target item, with the inclination of the side wall relative to the plane of the support surface remaining constant and / or being variable. As the transport robot moves the target item towards its storage position, the inclined side wall gradually raises the height of the target item, reducing resistance during movement and facilitating its movement. When the transport robot moves the target item out of its storage position, the inclined side wall also gradually raises the height of the target item, reducing the force required to remove it. This makes it easier for the transport robot to remove the target item from its storage position and improves the efficiency of the transport operation. Illustration of the attached drawings

[0016] The carrier provided herein is described in detail below in conjunction with the attached drawings of this application specification.

[0017] Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the carrier provided by embodiments of the present application. Fig. Figure 2 is a main view of the carrier provided by embodiments of the present application after a target article has been positioned on the carrier.

[0018] In a storage system, the carrier 10 plays an important role as a device for storing a target article 20 (e.g., a container, a packaging box, or a carton, etc.). The carrier 10 has, for example, at least one cargo space 100 on which the target article 20 is stored.

[0019] In some examples, the target item 20 may be a slant insert container.

[0020] In some examples, the target item 20 can be a straight container.

[0021] In some examples, the carrier 10 can be a shelf in a storage system. The target items 20 can be stored in the shelves and then transported to a specific location by a handling robot; alternatively, the handling robot carries the target items 20 from the specific location to the shelves and stores them in the shelves.

[0022] In some examples, the cargo space 100 on the support 10 can be a storage space in a rack or a shelf space in a rack. For example, the shelf space can be a cargo space on the lowest level of the rack.

[0023] When the handling robot (e.g., the first handling robot) picks up the goods, it can, for example, first transfer the target item from the storage area of ​​the shelf to the intermediate storage area via the other handling robot (e.g., the second handling robot), and then remove the target item from the intermediate storage area via the first handling robot and bring it to the intended location.

[0024] For example, if the handling robot (e.g., the first handling robot) returns the goods, the target item can first be placed in the storage position by the first handling robot, and then the target item can be moved from the storage position to the storage position above the shelf by the other handling robot (e.g., the second handling robot).

[0025] In some examples, carrier 10 can be a staging compartment carried by a handling robot moving within a storage system. Carrier 10 can, for example, be a staging compartment on the second handling robot, with cargo space 100 being a transport space on the staging compartment.

[0026] The loading area on the staging platform can be used as loading area 100 for storing the target item 20. The handling robot can carry the target item 20 with it while it is moving.

[0027] In some examples, the carrier 10 can be a picking workstation in a storage system. The target item 20 can be stored in a staging area of ​​the picking workstation. That is, in some examples, the staging area of ​​the picking workstation can serve as a compartment 100 for storing the target item 20.

[0028] The embodiments of the present application do not restrict the specific structure of the support 10 and its position in the bearing system, as long as it is able to support objects.

[0029] In some examples, which relate to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. To make better use of the space in the storage system, several cargo spaces 100 can be provided in the rack, with each cargo space 100 being able to hold one target item 20.

[0030] In some examples, which refer to the Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the majority of the cargo spaces can be arranged in a row along a latitude (e.g., the one shown in Figure 2). Fig. 1 in the direction specified by the x-axis) of the support 10.

[0031] In some examples, two cargo spaces 100 can be lined up along the width of the carrier 10.

[0032] Some examples relating to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 refer to, show that the multiple cargo spaces 100 are arranged in a row along a longitudinal direction of the support 10 (e.g. in the direction defined by the y-axis in Fig. can be arranged in the direction shown in point 1.

[0033] In some examples, three cargo compartments 100 can be arranged along the length of the support 10. It is understood that the number of cargo compartments 100 arranged along the length of the support 10 can be four, five, or more. In some embodiments of the present application, the number of cargo compartments 100 arranged along the length of the support 10 is not limited.

[0034] Some examples, referring to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, that the multiple cargo spaces 100 can be arranged in a row along a vertical direction of the support 10 (e.g. the direction through the a-axis in Fig. 1 is shown).

[0035] In some examples, which refer to Fig. As shown in Figure 2, cargo space 100 can be used to support the target item 20.

[0036] In some examples, at least some of the cargo spaces 100 of the multitude of cargo spaces 100 may be occupied with destination items 20.

[0037] In some examples, a handling robot in a storage system can transport a target item 20 from a specific location (e.g., a picking workstation) to a carrier 10 (e.g., a shelf) and place the target item 20 onto a cargo space 100 of the carrier 10 for storage.

[0038] In some examples, a handling robot in a storage system can remove a target item 20 from a cargo space 100 of a carrier 10 (e.g. a shelf) and bring it to a specific location (e.g. a picking workstation).

[0039] In some examples, a collision may occur between the handling robot and the carrier 10 during the movement of the handling robot in the storage area, which may cause the carrier 10 to wobble, so that the target item 20 may slip on the cargo space 100 stored in the carrier 10 and thus slip out of the cargo space 100 and fall down.

[0040] In some examples, the handling robot may collide with the carrier 10 when placing the target item 20 onto the cargo space 100 of the carrier 10, or during the process of removing the target item from the cargo space 100 of the carrier 10, causing the carrier 10 to wobble, so that the target item 20, which is stored in the cargo space 100 of the carrier 10, may slip and thus fall out of the cargo space 100.

[0041] In some examples, the handling robot can carry the carrier 10. During the process in which the handling robot carries the carrier 10, the carrier 10 can sway. For example, when the handling robot starts, stops, or crosses a pit or obstacle, etc., the carrier will be shaken, which can cause the target item 20 to slip and thus slide out of the cargo compartment 100 and fall.

[0042] In some examples, the center of gravity of carrier 10 may shift during its movement by the handling robot, causing carrier 10 to tip over and the target item 20 to slide within cargo space 100, thus sliding out of cargo space 100 and falling. Alternatively, carrier 10 may tip over, causing it to collide with other carriers 10 in the storage system during its movement by the handling robot, causing carrier 10 to wobble and the target item 20 to slide within cargo space 100, thus sliding out of cargo space 100 and falling.

[0043] Fig. 3 is a partially enlarged view of A in Fig. 1. Fig. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a cargo space on a carrier provided by an embodiment of the present application in cooperation with a target article. Fig. 5 is a partially enlarged view of B in Fig. 4.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, which refer to Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the cargo space 100 can have a carrying area 110. The carrying area 110 can be configured to accommodate the placement of the target items 20.

[0045] In some examples, which relate to Fig. If cargo space 100 is located in the cargo area, it can have an inlet / outlet 120. The inlet / outlet 120 can be located on either side of the cargo area 110.

[0046] In some examples, the target object 20 can be moved from the inlet / outlet 120 into and out of the cargo space 100. For example, the target object 20 can be moved by the handling robot from the inlet / outlet 120 into the carrying area 110 for storage; or the target object 20 can be moved by the handling robot from the inlet / outlet 120 out of the cargo space 100.

[0047] To prevent the target article 20 from slipping out of the inlet / outlet 120 and falling, in some examples a first stop section 130 may be provided at the inlet / outlet 120, as in the Fig. Figures 3 to 5 are shown. The first stop section 130 can protrude from the carrying area 110.

[0048] In some examples, the first stop section 130 can be a monolithic part cast in one piece with the support 10, e.g., if the support 10 is a shelf and the first stop section 130 is injection molded in one piece with a crossbeam of the shelf, or if the crossbeam is manufactured, the crossbeam is directly formed into a raised structure on the top of the crossbeam. This raised structure is used as the first stop section 130.

[0049] In some examples, the first stop section 130 can also be a structure that is additionally attached to the support 10. For example, the support 10 is a shelf. This first stop section 130 can be mounted on the shelf's crossbeam after the crossbeam has been manufactured. For example, the first stop section 130 can be attached to the crossbeam by welding, snapping, bolting, or gluing.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application do not restrict the manner in which the first stop section 130 is provided.

[0051] In some examples, the highest point of the first stop section 130 can be higher than the plane (supporting surface) in which the support area 110 is located. In this way, the highest point of the first stop section 130 can be higher than the height of the bottom of the target article 20 after the target article 20 has been placed in the support area 110, so that the first stop element 130 can act as a barrier for the target article 20 if the target article 20 slides. For example, the first stop section 130 can be pressed against a side wall of the target article 20, thus preventing the target article 20 from sliding out of the inlet / outlet 120. In this way, a situation in which the target article 20 slips out of the inlet / outlet 120 and falls can be effectively avoided, which improves the stability and safety of the storage of the target article 20 after it has been placed in the cargo space 100 of the carrier 10.

[0052] In some examples, the plane in which the supporting area 110 is located (i.e., the supporting surface) is parallel to the plane in which the x-direction is aligned with the y-direction.

[0053] In some examples, which relate to Fig. 5, the side walls of the first stop section 130 can be arranged at an angle along the entry / exit direction of the target article 20.

[0054] In some examples, the inclination of the side walls of the first stop section 130 with respect to the plane in which the support area 110 is located can be consistent along the direction in which the first stop section 130 projects from the support area 110. For example, the side walls of the first stop section 130 can be inclined planar surfaces.

[0055] In some examples, the inclination of the side walls of the first stop section 130 varies with respect to the plane in which the support area 110 is located along the entry and exit direction of the target article 20.

[0056] In some examples, the side wall of the first stop section 130 is inclined inwards. It should be understood that the inward inclination of the side walls of the first stop section 130 can mean that the side walls of the first stop section 130 are drawn inwards from the underside of the first stop section 130 to the top of the first stop section 130, such that a central section of the side walls of the first stop section 130 projects from the two side sections along the entry / exit direction of the target article 20.

[0057] It becomes clear that along the entry / exit direction of the target article 20 (referring to the x-direction in Fig. 4) The side wall of the first stop section 130 comprises a central section and two side sections, the two side sections being arranged on both sides of the central section. The central section extends beyond the two side sections, i.e., the central section is higher than the two side sections, so that the side walls of the first stop section 130 are inclined inwards and upwards from both sides towards the center.

[0058] In some examples, the inclination of the side walls of the first stop section 130 with respect to the plane in which the support area 110 is located can decrease in a direction from the two side sections to the central section of the first stop section 130 along the entry and exit direction of the target article 20. For example, the side walls of the first stop section 130 can be convexly curved surfaces.

[0059] In some examples, the side walls of the first stop section 130 can be curved wall surfaces. For example, the first stop section 130 can be a semi-cylindrical convex groove.

[0060] In some examples, the side wall of the first stop section 130 can be a spherically curved wall surface. The first stop section 130 can, for example, be a dome-shaped projection or a bulbous, crown-shaped projection.

[0061] In some examples, the inclination of the side walls of the first stop section 130 with respect to the plane in which the support area 110 is located can increase in a direction from the two side sections to the central section of the first stop section 130 along the entry and exit direction of the target article 20. For example, the side walls of the first stop section 130 can be concave curved surfaces.

[0062] In some examples, the inclination of the side wall of the first stop section 130 with respect to the plane in which the support area 110 is located can increase and then decrease, or decrease and then increase, in the direction from the two side sections to the central section of the first stop section 130 along the entry and exit direction of the target article 20, from the two side sections to the central section. For example, the side walls of the first stop section 130 can have concave and undulating curved surfaces.

[0063] Embodiments of the present application do not limit the inclination of the side wall of the first stop section 130 with respect to the plane in which the support area 110 is located.

[0064] In some examples, which relate to Fig. 5, the first stop section 130 can have a first side wall 131 near the bearing area 110.

[0065] In some examples, the first side wall 131 can be an inclined wall (e.g., a straight, inclined wall or a convexly curved wall).

[0066] It is noted that a straight inclined wall is an inclined wall which maintains a constant inclination with respect to the plane in which the bearing area 110 is located along the entry and exit direction of the target article 20, i.e. the wall of the first side wall 131 is an inclined plane.

[0067] Referring to Fig. 5. The end of the first side wall 131 near the carrying area 110 can have a first height, and the end of the first side wall 131 furthest from the carrying area 110 can have a second height. The second height can be higher than the first height, so that the first stop section 130 acts as a limit stop for the target article 20.

[0068] In some examples, the first side wall 131 is provided as an inclined wall, so that the lower wall of the target article 20 extends along the first side wall 131 (e.g., in the direction indicated by the arrow a in Fig. (in the direction shown in 5) during the process of the handling robot removing the target article 20 outwards from the carrying area 110. In this way, the force that the handling robot has to exert on the target article 20 can be reduced, which is beneficial for the handling robot removing the target article 20 from the carrying area 110.

[0069] In some examples, the first stop element 130 may have a second side wall 132 that is away from the carrying area 110.

[0070] In some examples, the second side wall 132 can be an inclined wall (e.g., straight, sloping walls, or convexly curved walls). As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the inclined direction of the second side wall 132 can be opposite to the inclined direction of the first side wall 131.

[0071] In some examples, an end of the second side wall 132, which is located near the carrying area 110, can be coupled to an end of the first side wall 131, which is located outside the carrying area 110.

[0072] In some examples, the second side wall 132 may have a rounded transition at the vertex where it connects with the first side wall 131.

[0073] In some examples, the second side wall 132 has a third height at an end near the support area 110. The second side wall 132 has a fourth height at an end away from the support area 110, where the third height is higher than the fourth height.

[0074] In some examples, the second side wall 132 is provided as an inclined wall, so that the bottom wall of the target article 20 extends along the second side wall 132 (e.g., in the direction indicated by arrow b in Fig. (in the direction shown in 5) during the process of moving the target article 20 by the handling robot towards the carrying area 110. In this way, the force that the handling robot has to exert on the target article 20 can be reduced, which is advantageous for the handling robot to move the target article 20 towards the carrying area 110.

[0075] The carrier 10 provided in some embodiments of the present application is equipped with a first stop element 130 at an inlet / outlet 120 of the cargo space 100, the first stop element 130 projecting from a support area 110 of the cargo space 100. The inlet / outlet 120 is located on one side of the support area 110, so that, after the target article 20 (e.g., a container, a packaging box, a packaging case, etc.) is placed on the support area 110 of the cargo space 100, the first stop element 130 can act as a stop for the target article 20, thus preventing the carrier 10 from shaking and causing the container to slip out of the inlet / outlet 120 and fall. The stability and safety of the target article 20 are improved after it is placed in the cargo space 100 of the carrier 10.

[0076] Furthermore, the first side wall 131 of the first stop section 130, located near the carrying area 110, and the second side wall 132, located away from the carrying area 110, are both designed as inclined walls. The inclination directions of the first side wall 131 and the second side wall 132 are opposite. In this way, during the process of moving the target article 20 by the handling robot towards the cargo space 100, the inclined first side wall 132 can gradually raise the height of the target article 20, thus reducing the resistance to which the target article 20 is subjected, thereby facilitating its movement towards the cargo space 100.During the process of moving the target article 20 out of the cargo compartment 100 by the handling robot, the inclined first side wall 131 can gradually raise the height of the target article 20, which can reduce the force required when the handling robot removes the target article 20 from the cargo compartment 100. This facilitates the handling of the target article 20 by the handling robot and improves the handling efficiency of the handling robot.

[0077] In some examples, the first stop element 130 protrudes from the support area 110 at a certain height.

[0078] In some examples, the height by which the first stop section 130 protrudes from the carrying area 110 can correspond to the height of the end of the first side wall 131 that is away from the carrying area 110.

[0079] In some examples, the height by which the first stop section 130 protrudes from the carrying area 110 can correspond to the height of the end of the second side wall 132 facing the carrying area 110.

[0080] In some examples, the height of the first side wall 131, which is away from the support zone 110, and the height of the second side wall 132, which is near the support area 110, may be the same, similar, or approximately the same.

[0081] In some examples, the predetermined height can be between 1.5 and 4.5 mm.

[0082] In some examples, the predetermined height can range from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm.

[0083] In some examples, the predetermined height can be between 2.5 and 3.5 mm.

[0084] In some examples, the predetermined height can range from 2.8 mm to 3.2 mm.

[0085] In some examples, the predetermined height can be 2.0mm-4.5mm.

[0086] In some examples, the predetermined height can be between 2.5 and 4.0 mm.

[0087] In some examples, the predetermined height can be between 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm.

[0088] In some examples, the predetermined height may be 3.0 mm.

[0089] In some examples, the predetermined height can range from 2.8 mm to 4.5 mm.

[0090] It should be noted that some embodiments of the present application concern values ​​and ranges of values ​​that are approximate values, and that, subject to the influence of the manufacturing process, there may be a certain margin of error which may be considered negligible by a person skilled in the art.

[0091] In some examples of this application, the height by which the first stop section 130 protrudes from the carrying area 110 is set to a predetermined height, for example, between 2.8 mm and 3.2 mm. This ensures that the height by which the first stop section 130 protrudes from the carrying area 110 is within a suitable range. This facilitates, firstly, the insertion of the target article 20 into the carrying area 110 or its removal from the carrying area 110 via the inlet and outlet 120. Secondly, when the target article 20 is placed in the carrying area 110 and movement occurs, the resulting force is generally much less than the force exerted on the target article 20 by the transport robot to move it. The first stop section 130 can therefore effectively limit the movement of the target article 20.This effectively prevents the target item 20 from slipping out of the inlet and outlet 120 and falling. This increases the stability and safety of the storage of the target item 20 in storage area 100.

[0092] In some examples, the direction in which the target article 20 moves from the inlet / outlet 120 towards the carrying area 110 can be described as the inward direction (e.g., the direction through the x-axis in Fig. 4 direction shown). In some examples, the direction in which the target article 20 moves from the inlet / outlet 120 out of the carrying area 110 can be referred to as the outward direction (e.g., the outward direction in the negative direction of the x-axis in Fig. 4 is shown).

[0093] In some examples, the first side wall 131 can have a first horizontal length L1 (as in Fig. 5 shown) along the inbound / outbound direction of the target article 20.

[0094] In some examples, the first horizontal length L1 can be 9 mm to 11 mm.

[0095] In some examples, the first horizontal length L1 can be 9.5-10.5 mm.

[0096] In some examples, the first horizontal length L can be 19.5 mm to 11 mm.

[0097] In some examples, the first horizontal length L1 can be 9.5 mm to 10 mm.

[0098] In some examples, the first horizontal length L1 can be 10 mm - 11 mm.

[0099] In some examples, the first horizontal length L1 can be 10.5 mm to 11 mm.

[0100] In some examples, the second side wall 132 can have a second horizontal length L2 (as in Fig. 5 shown) along the inlet and outlet direction of the target article 20.

[0101] In some examples, the second horizontal length L2 can be 9 mm to 11 mm.

[0102] In some examples, the second horizontal length L2 can be 9.5-10.5 mm.

[0103] In some examples, the second horizontal length L2 can be between 9.5 mm and 11 mm.

[0104] In some examples, the second horizontal length L2 can be 9.5 mm to 10 mm.

[0105] In some examples, the second horizontal length L2 can be 10 mm to 11 mm.

[0106] In some examples, the second horizontal length L2 can be 10.5 mm to 11 mm.

[0107] In some examples of this application, the first horizontal length L1 of the first side wall 131 is set to 9 mm to 11 mm and the second horizontal length L2 of the second side wall 132 is also set to 9 mm to 11 mm. This means that both the first horizontal length L1 and the second horizontal length L2 are greater than the height by which the first stop section 130 projects from the carrying area 110. This results in smaller angles of inclination for the first side wall 131 and the second side wall 132, which facilitates the movement of the target article 20 along the first side wall 131 out of the carrying area 110 or along the second side wall 132 into the carrying area 110 by the transport robot. This enables the transport robot to more easily load and unload the target article 20 in the storage area 100.

[0108] In some examples, which relate to Fig. 4, a second stop section 140 can be provided on the other side of the carrying area 110.

[0109] In some examples, the second stop section 140 can be an integral part formed in one piece with the support 10, or an additional structure attached to the support 10, which is based on the configuration of the first stop section 130 with the support 10, which will not be discussed further here.

[0110] In some examples, which refer to Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the carrying area 110 can be arranged between the first stop element 130 and the second stop element 140.

[0111] In some examples, the underside of the target article 20 has a first length L3 (represented with reference to Fig. 4) along the entry / exit direction of the target article 20.

[0112] Some examples have a first distance L4 between the first stop element 130 and the second stop element 140. The first distance L4 is greater than the first length L3.

[0113] In some examples where the target article 20 is a straight container, the upper length of the target article 20 is equal to the lower length, so the first length L3 can be the total length of the target article 20.

[0114] In some examples where the target item 20 is a slanted insert container, the upper length of the target item 20 is greater than the lower length. The first length L3 can be the lower length of the target item 20.

[0115] In some embodiments of this application, the first distance L4 between the first stop section 130 and the second stop section 140 is set greater than the first length of the base of the target article 20. This allows the base of the target article 20 to be fully enclosed within the support area 110 between the first stop section 130 and the second stop section 140 after placement by the transport robot, so that the first stop section 130 can act on the side wall of the target article 20 and effectively fix it, thereby effectively preventing the target article 20 from slipping out.

[0116] In some examples, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 may be greater than the height by which the first stop section 130 protrudes from the support area 110.

[0117] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 20 mm to 30 mm.

[0118] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 22 mm to 28 mm.

[0119] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 22 mm to 25 mm.

[0120] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 25 mm to 28 mm.

[0121] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 20 mm to 25 mm.

[0122] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 20 mm to 28 mm.

[0123] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 22 mm to 30 mm.

[0124] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 25 mm to 30 mm.

[0125] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 28 mm to 30 mm.

[0126] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 protrudes from the support area 110 can be 20 mm to 22 mm.

[0127] In some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 projects from the support area 110 is set higher than the height by which the first stop section 130 projects from the support area 110. This allows the second stop section 140 to block and limit the target item 20 in a timely manner when the transport robot moves the target item 20 towards the storage position 100, thus preventing the transport robot from moving the target item 20 too far due to positioning errors. This increases safety when the transport robot places the target item 20.

[0128] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the height by which the second stop section 140 projects from the support area 110 is set higher than the height by which the first stop section 130 projects from the support area 110. In the event of vibrations of the support 10, the second stop section 140 can effectively prevent the target article 20 from sliding into a different storage position 100, thus increasing the stability of the target article 20 in the storage position 100.

[0129] In some embodiments, a second distance L5 can exist between the end of the first side wall 131, which faces the support area 110, and the bottom of the target article 20 when the target article 20 is located in the support area 110.

[0130] In some examples, the second distance can be between 2 mm and 15 mm.

[0131] In some examples, the second distance can be 2mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm or 15mm.

[0132] In some examples, the second distance can be any distance between 2 mm and 15 mm.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, after placing the target article 20 in the carrying area 110, the bottom of the target article 20 and the end of the first side wall 131 near the carrying area 110 are reserved with a second clearance L5. In this way, the second clearance L5 can compensate for the formation error or positioning error of the handling robot, etc., so that the target article 20 can be positioned completely within the carrying area 110. The first stop element 130 can effectively form a stop limit for the target article 20.

[0134] Fig. Figure 6 is a schematic representation of the structure of two adjacent cargo spaces along a lateral direction of a carrier provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0135] As from the Fig. 1 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 6, in some examples two cargo spaces 100 can be arranged side by side in a row along a lateral direction of the carrier 10 (e.g., the one shown in Figure 6). Fig. 1 direction indicated by the x-axis) should be provided.

[0136] In some examples, the inlets / outlets of the two cargo holds may be 120 meters apart.

[0137] In some examples, the two cargo spaces 100 may be a first cargo space 110a and a second cargo space 110b, distinguishing between two cargo spaces 100 that are arranged side by side along the width of the support 10.

[0138] In some examples, the inlet and outlet 120 of the first cargo space 110a may be located on a side of the first cargo space 110a away from the second cargo space 110b.

[0139] In some examples, the inlet and outlet 120 of the second cargo space 110b may be located on a side of the second cargo space 110b facing away from the first cargo space 110a.

[0140] In some examples, the second stop sections 140 of the two cargo spaces 100 are arranged opposite each other.

[0141] In some examples, the second stop section 140 of the first cargo space 110a is located near the second cargo space 110b of the cargo space 100.

[0142] In some examples, the second stop section 140 of the second cargo space 110b is located near the first cargo space 110a cargo space 100.

[0143] In some examples, the two second stop sections 140 have a third distance L6 between them, as in Fig. 6 shown.

[0144] In some examples, the third distance L6 is configured such that after stopping and limiting the target article 20 by the second stop section 140, the distance between the tops of the target articles 20 within the two carrying areas 110 is greater than or equal to zero.

[0145] In some examples, a standard-sized container (e.g., a straight container or a container with an angled insert) with an upper dimension of the target article 20 of 600 mm x 400 mm is shown as an example. It is understood that in some examples of the embodiments of the present application, the size of the target article 20 is shown only as a specific example, and in other examples, the size of the target article 20 may be different, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this respect.

[0146] In some examples, after placing the target item 20 in the cargo space 100, a safety distance can be maintained between the outer contour edge of the target item 20 and the outer frame edge of the carrier 10. This results in the target item 20 being completely inside the carrier 10 after it has been placed in the cargo space 100. The target item 20 is effectively protected by the outer frame of the carrier 10.

[0147] In some examples, the safety distance can be between 10 mm and 15 mm.

[0148] In some examples, the width dimension of the outer frame of the support 10 can be 1230 mm to 1260 mm. It is clear that the width dimension of the outer frame of the support 10 in some embodiments of the present application is only presented as a specific example. In other examples, the width dimension of the outer frame of the support 10 can also have other dimensions that are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0149] In some examples, the third distance L6 can be between 60 mm and 90 mm.

[0150] In some examples, the third distance L6 can be 70mm-80mm.

[0151] In some examples, the third distance L6 can be between 70 mm and 90 mm.

[0152] In some examples where the target article 20 is a slanted insert container, the upper dimension of the target article 20 may be 600 mm.

[0153] In some examples where the target item 20 is a slant tray container, the bottom dimension of the target item 20 can be 546 mm.

[0154] In some examples where the target article 20 is a slanted insert container, the one-sided inclination offset of the target article 20 from top to bottom can be 27 mm.

[0155] In some examples, the third distance L6 can be 90 mm if the target item 20 is an inclined insert container.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present application, two cargo compartments 100 are provided side by side along one width direction of the carrier 10. The inlets / outlets 120 of the two cargo compartments 100 are arranged apart from each other. The second stop sections 140 of the two cargo compartments 100 are arranged opposite each other. In this way, the handling robot can place or remove the target item 20 from either side of the carrier 10. In the storage system, several handling robots, when operating simultaneously, can work from both sides of the carrier 10 at the same time, which improves the efficiency of the storage system in handling the target item 20.

[0157] Furthermore, a third gap is provided between the two second stop sections 140, the third gap being designed such that the distance between the top surfaces of the target article 20 within the two support zones 110 is greater than or equal to zero after the second stop sections 140 have stopped and limited the target articles 20. In this way, the target articles 20 in the first cargo space 110a cargo space 100 and the target articles 20 in the second cargo space 110b cargo space 100 are isolated from each other and do not interfere with each other. By ensuring that the target articles 20 in each of the cargo spaces 100 can fully penetrate the support zone 110, the first stop element 130 can effectively stop the target article 20 in each of the cargo spaces 100.

[0158] Fig. 7 is a partially enlarged view of C in Fig. 1 and Fig. 8 is a partially enlarged view of D in Fig. 1.

[0159] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the support 10 may have a crossbar 150.

[0160] In some examples, beam 150 can be located at the inlet / outlet 120 of the cargo hold 100.

[0161] In some examples, the first stop element 130 and the crossbeam 150 can be made from a single piece. In other examples, the first stop element 130 can be formed by providing a protruding structure on the crossbeam 150 during the manufacturing of the crossbeam 150.

[0162] In some examples, the first stop element 130 may have a first projection 133. The first projection 133 may protrude from an upper surface of the support 150.

[0163] In some examples, the first lead 133 is configured to stop the target article 20.

[0164] In some examples, the first stop element 130 may have an extension section 134. The extension section 134 may be connected to one side of the first projection 133 near the carrying area 110.

[0165] In some examples, the extension section 134 and the first lead 133 can be made up of one piece.

[0166] In some examples, the extension section 134 and the first projection 133 can be sheet metal parts.

[0167] In some examples, the extension section 134 can extend in the direction of the carrying area 110.

[0168] In some examples, which refer to the Fig. 4 and Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the extension section 134 can be arranged below the target article 20 if the carrying area 110 has a target article 20.

[0169] In some examples where the carrying area 110 has a target article 20, the extension section 134 can be supported on the base of the target article 20. The extension section 134 can be in contact with the underside of the target article 20.

[0170] In some embodiments of the present application, the first stop element 130 is provided such that it has a first projection 133 and an extension 134. The first projection 133 is designed to protrude from the cross member 150 of the support 10, so that the first projection 133 can form a stop limit for the target article 20. The extension section 134 extends in the direction of the support area 110. When the support area 110 contains the target article 20, the extension section 134 is located below the target article 20. Therefore, when the target article 20 is removed, the bottom of the target article 20 moves outwards out of the support area 110 under the guidance of the extension section 134 onto the first side wall 131 and moves outwards out of the support area 110 along the first side wall 131.This avoids interference between the underside of the target article 20 and the edge of the beam 150, which would otherwise lead to difficulties in removing the target article 20. As a result, the success rate and efficiency of removing the target article 20 are improved.

[0171] In some examples, which refer to Fig. As shown in Figure 7, extension section 134 can have an extension section 1341.

[0172] In some examples, the extension section 1341 is located at the upper surface of the crossbeam 150.

[0173] In some examples, the extension section 134 may have a curved section 1342.

[0174] The curved section 1342 can be connected to one end of the extension 1341 near the carrying area 110.

[0175] In some examples, the curved segment 1342 can be curved downwards from the upper surface of the support 150.

[0176] In some examples, the curved segment 1342 can be attached to a side wall of the crossbeam 150 near the side of the support area 110.

[0177] In some examples, part of the base of the target article 20 can rest on the crossbeam 150 when the target article 20 is placed in the support area 110. That is, the crossbeam 150 can be relatively wide, allowing the curved segment 1342 to fit against a side wall of the crossbeam 150 near the side of the support area 110.

[0178] Some examples relating to Fig. Reference 8 shows that at least part of the extension section 1341 can project beyond the crossbeam 150.

[0179] In some examples, the underside of the target article 20 is not in contact with the crossbeam 150 when the target article 20 is placed in the support area 110. At this point, at least part of the extension section 1341 can be pulled out of the crossbeam 150, so that the extension section 1341 extends under the target article 20, so that the extension section 1341 rests on the underside of the target article 20.

[0180] In some examples, the curved segment 1342 extends towards the lower side of the crossbeam 150.

[0181] In some examples, parts of the curved section 1342 are spaced apart from the crossbeam 150.

[0182] In some examples, another part of the curved segment 1342 rests against a side wall of the crossbeam 150.

[0183] In some examples, the curved segment 1342 can first be curved downwards in an extended bend parallel or approximately parallel to the side wall of the crossbeam 150. Then, one end of the curved segment 1342 can be curved in a direction away from the load-bearing surface 110 (or towards the crossbeam 150) and against the side wall of the crossbeam 150.

[0184] In this embodiment of the application, part of the curved segment 1342 is pressed against the side wall of the crossbeam 150, so that when a target article 20 is located in the cargo space 110, the extension section 1341 supports the bottom of the target article 20. The portion of the curved section 1342 that is pressed against the side wall of the crossbeam 150 can increase the supporting force of the extension section 1341 and thus increase the supporting strength of the extension section 1341 for the target article 20.

[0185] A first attack section 130 can be provided.

[0186] In some examples, a first stop section 130 can extend in a width direction of the carrying area 110.

[0187] Fig. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a carrier provided by embodiments of the present application, with a target article positioned in a cargo space. Fig. Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of another structure of a carrier provided by embodiments of the present application, with a target article positioned in a cargo space.

[0188] Some examples relating to the Fig. 9 and Fig. Reference 10 shows that the first stop element 130 can be provided in a variety.

[0189] In some examples, the majority of the first stop sections 130 can be spaced along a width direction of the carrying area 110 (e.g., the one through the x-axis in Fig. 9 direction shown). The lateral direction of the support area 110 overlaps with the inlet and outlet direction of the target article 20.

[0190] In some examples, the width direction of the carrying area 110 may be aligned with the width direction of the target article 20. The length direction of the carrying area 110 may coincide with the length direction of the target article 20.

[0191] In some embodiments of the present application, the first stop sections 130 are provided in a plurality. The plurality of first stop sections 130 are spaced apart from one another along the width direction of the bearing area 110. In this way, only a portion of the target article 20 is in contact and friction with the first stop sections 130 when the target article 20 enters or exits the inlet / outlet 120, which can reduce the wear of the first stop sections 130 on the target article 20.

[0192] In some examples, the target item 20 can be provided with an identifier that contains information about the target item 20.

[0193] In some examples, the identifier may be a QR code, a barcode, an ID number, or another identifier containing information about the target article 20.

[0194] In some embodiments of the present application, the first stop element 130 is provided in a plurality. The plurality of first stop sections 130 are spaced apart from one another along the width direction of the bearing area 110. In this way, the abrasion of the logo on the target article 20 by the first stop element 130 can be reduced. Alternatively, in some examples, the obscuration of the markings by the powder generated by the abrasion of the first stop sections 130 with the target article 20 can be reduced. The accuracy of the identification of the target article 20 by the handling robot can be effectively improved.

[0195] In some examples, which relate to Fig. 9, the target article 20 can have a third side wall 210 along a length of the target article 20.

[0196] In some examples, the third side wall 210 may have a second projection 211.

[0197] In some examples, some of the first stop sections 130 from the multitude of first stop sections 130 may correspond to the second projections 211.

[0198] In some examples, the first stop element 130, corresponding to the second projection 211, is configured to work together with the second projection 211 to limit the target article 20.

[0199] In some examples, the second projection 211 can be formed in one piece with the first side wall 210.

[0200] In some examples, which relate to Fig. If reference is made to 10, the target article 20 can have a second side wall 220 along its length. The second side wall 220 can be positioned opposite the first side wall 210.

[0201] In some examples, the second side wall 220 can have a third projection 221. Along the width of the target articles 20, the third projection 221 is offset from the second projection 211. This facilitates stacking the target articles 20 (e.g., angled insert containers) on top of each other. After stacking, the space required by the target articles 20 in the vertical direction can be reduced, which facilitates the transfer and transport of the target articles 20.

[0202] In some examples, another part of the first attack 130 from the multitude of first attack sections 130 may correspond to the third projection 221.

[0203] In some examples, the first stop element 130, corresponding to the third projection 221, is configured to work in conjunction with the third projection 221 to limit the target article 20.

[0204] In some examples, the third projection 221 can be formed in one piece with the fourth side wall 220.

[0205] In some embodiments of the present application, a second projecting section 211 is provided on a first side wall 210 of the target article 20, and a third projecting section 221 is provided on a second side wall 220 of the target article 20. The third side wall 210 and the fourth side wall 220 are two side walls of the target articles 20 in the longitudinal direction. The second projection 211 and the third projection 221 are offset in the lateral direction of the target articles 20. In this way, a plurality of target articles 20 can be stacked on top of each other when the target articles 20 are transferred and transported, which can reduce the space that the target articles 20 must occupy in the vertical direction and facilitate the transfer and transport of the target articles 20.

[0206] Furthermore, some of the multiple first stop sections 130 are arranged according to the second projection 211. Another portion of the multiple first stop sections 130 are arranged according to the third projection 221. In this way, the transport robot can place the target item 20 into the cargo space 110 without distinguishing the orientation of the target item 20. This means that the third side wall 210 of the target item 20 can be oriented towards the inlet and outlet 120, or the fourth side wall 220 can be oriented towards the inlet and outlet 120. Some of the multiple first stop sections 130 can effectively stop and limit the target item 20, thereby increasing the efficiency of the transport robot when placing the target item 20 in the cargo space 100.

[0207] Fig. Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of a further structure of a carrier provided by embodiments of the present application, in which a target article is positioned in a cargo space.

[0208] With reference to the Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 11 shows some examples that a guide plate 160 can be provided on both sides of the support area 110 along a lateral direction of the support area 110 (e.g. the direction through the y-axis in Fig. 1 or the direction that passes through the x-axis in Fig. 11 is shown).

[0209] In some examples, the guide plate 160 can be designed to carry the target article 20.

[0210] In some examples, the guide plate 160 can be attached to the underside of the target article 20.

[0211] In some examples, the guide plate 160 can be in contact with part of the underside of the target article 20.

[0212] In some examples, two of the multiple first stop sections 130, which are arranged on each side of the multiple first stop sections 130, can be arranged opposite the guide plate 160.

[0213] In some examples, an extension 134 of the first stop section 130, which is provided opposite the guide plate 160, can extend onto the guide plate 160.

[0214] In some examples, the first stop element 130, which is provided in accordance with the guide plate 160, can be integrated with the guide plate 160.

[0215] In some examples, which relate to Fig. 11, a base of the target article 20 can have a second length L7 along a width direction of the target article 20.

[0216] Some examples stipulate that the second length of the bottom of the target article 20 is identical, similar, or approximately the same as the length of the top part of the target article 20. For example, the target article 20 could be a straight box.

[0217] In some examples, the second length of the bottom of the target article 20 can be less than the top length of the target article 20. The target article 20 can, for example, be a slanted insert container.

[0218] In some specific examples, the top dimension of the target article 20 can be 600 mm * 400 mm. The dimension along the width of the target article 20 can be 400 mm.

[0219] In some specific examples, the lower dimension of the target article may be 20,347 mm.

[0220] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the specific dimensions of the target article 20 are shown only as specific examples and do not represent a limitation of the specific dimensions of the target article 20. In some examples, the dimensions of the target article 20 can also be any other dimensions.

[0221] In some examples, the two guide plates 160 can have a third stop section 170 on the back.

[0222] In some examples, the third stop element 170 can be configured to limit the wobbling of the target article 20 along the width direction.

[0223] In some examples, a fifth distance L8 can exist between the two third stop sections 170.

[0224] In some examples, the fifth distance L8 can be larger than the second length L7.

[0225] In some embodiments of the present application, the third stop element 170 is provided on the rear side of the two guide plates 160. The distance between the two third stop sections 170 (the fifth distance L8) is set to be greater than the second length L7 of the target article 20 in the width direction. This facilitates the insertion and removal of the target article 20 into and out of the carrier area 110, reduces the friction of the third stop section 170 on the target article 20, and effectively protects the target article 20.

[0226] Some examples provide that the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is greater than the height of the first stop section 130 above the support area 110.

[0227] Some examples specify that the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is between 20 mm and 30 mm.

[0228] Some examples specify that the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is between 22 mm and 28 mm.

[0229] Some examples specify that the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is between 22 mm and 25 mm.

[0235] Some examples specify that the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is between 28 mm and 30 mm.

[0236] Some examples specify that the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is between 20 mm and 22 mm.

[0237] In some embodiments of this application, the height of the third stop section 170 above the support area 110 is greater than that of the first stop section 130. This enables the third stop section 170 to block the target article 20 in a timely manner when the transport robot moves the target article 20 to the cargo space 100, and prevents the target article 20 from being moved too far due to positional errors of the transport robot, thereby increasing safety when the transport robot places the target article 20.

[0238] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the third stop section 170 can effectively prevent the target article 20 from slipping into another compartment 100 during the oscillation of the carrier 10, thus increasing the stability of the target article 20 in the compartment 100.

[0239] In some embodiments, a fourth distance L9 may be present between the third stop section 170 and the bottom of the target article 20 in the width direction of the target article 20.

[0240] In some examples, the fourth distance L9 can be between 8 mm and 12 mm.

[0241] In some examples, the fourth distance L9 can be between 9 mm and 11 mm.

[0242] In some examples, the fourth distance L9 can be between 8 mm and 10 mm.

[0243] In some examples, the fourth distance L9 can be between 10 mm and 12 mm.

[0244] In some examples, after the target article 20 is offset by a fourth division (which in some examples may also be referred to as offset distance) in the width direction to the third stop section 170 on one of the sides, i.e., after the side wall of the target article 20 abuts one of the third stops 170 on one of the sides, the guide plate 160 of the other side supports itself under the target article 20 with a minimum support dimension d.

[0245] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0246] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 12 mm to 18 mm.

[0247] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 10 mm to 15 mm.

[0248] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 15mm-20mm.

[0249] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 12 mm to 15 mm.

[0250] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 15 mm to 18 mm.

[0251] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 10 mm to 12 mm.

[0252] In some examples, the minimum support dimension d can be 18mm-20mm.

[0253] In some examples, the width dimension of the guide plate 160 can be equal to the sum of the fourth division, the offset distance and the minimum support dimension.

[0254] In some examples, the width dimension of the guide plate can be 160 greater than the sum of the fourth division, the offset distance, and the minimum support dimension.

[0255] In some examples, the width of the guide plate can be greater than or equal to 35 mm.

[0256] In one embodiment of the present application, the width dimension of the guide plate 160 is adjusted to be greater than or equal to the sum of the fourth division, the offset distance, and the minimum support dimension. This facilitates the entry and exit of the target item 20 from the cargo space 100. Furthermore, even if the target item 20 is displaced, the guide plate 160 still provides sufficient support distance, thus increasing the stability of the support for the target item 20.
