Hand for storage device, storage device, and storage system

Abstract

This technology provides a way to prevent egg breakage on an open tray. [Solution] The storage system includes a storage device 11 having a robot arm 12 and a storage device hand 14 provided at the tip of the robot arm 12 for storing open trays containing eggs in a transport container, and a control unit 10 that controls the storage device to determine whether or not the open trays containing eggs are defective before storing them in the transport container, and to store the open trays containing eggs in the transport container if it is determined that there are no defects.

Claims

1. A robotic arm, and a storage device hand provided at the tip of the robotic arm for storing an open tray containing eggs into a transport container, A storage system comprising: a control unit that controls the storage device to determine whether the open tray containing eggs is defective before storing it in the transport container, and to store the open tray containing eggs in the transport container if it is determined that there is no defect, The storage device hand has an egg adsorption section that adsorbs multiple eggs contained in an open tray, and a pair of gripping members that contact the notches on both sides of the open tray to grip both sides of the open tray and place the open tray inside the transport container. The pair of gripping members contact the notches on both sides of the open tray, compressing the open tray and causing it to curve downwards in a convex shape, thereby gripping both sides of the open tray. This is a hand for the storage device. Storage system.

2. The control unit determines whether eggs are contained in all rows of the open tray, and whether eggs are contained in a certain row of the open tray. The storage system according to claim 1.

3. The control unit determines whether or not the eggs in the open tray containing the eggs are damaged. The storage system according to claim 1.

4. The control unit detects whether a predetermined number of open trays containing eggs are stored in the transport container. The storage system according to claim 1.

5. The storage device is An empty open tray, which does not contain eggs, is placed on top of the open tray containing eggs, which is located on the uppermost surface of the transport container. The storage system according to claim 1.

6. The aforementioned hand for the storage device is An egg adsorption unit that adsorbs multiple eggs contained in an open tray without a lid, The device has a hooking or gripping portion that hooks onto or grips the open egg tray provided on the outer circumference of the egg tray, The storage system according to claim 1.
