DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, further detailed description will be made to the present application with reference to the drawings and examples. Obviously, the described examples are only some of the examples of the present application, but not all the examples. All other examples obtained by those skilled in the art based on the examples in the present application shall fall into the scope of protection of the present application.
[0061] In order to solve the problem that the material box carrying robot in the related art occupies a large space, has a slow carrying speed, cannot realize flexible scheduling of the carrying device, and affects the overall goods taking and placing efficiency, since it walks in the lane by moving the chassis, the embodiments of the present application provide a warehouse system, which comprises a plurality of shelves, a track assembly and a carrying device. The track assembly at least comprises a first track and a second track. The first track and the second track are arranged in a height direction of the shelf and are arranged around the outer periphery of the shelf. The first track and the second track can be arranged on the outer periphery of the same shelf or adjacent shelves, so that the carrying device can run between adjacent lanes, realizing flexible scheduling of the carrying device between adjacent lanes.
[0062] The first track and the second track can also be arranged on the outer periphery of a plurality of shelves, so that the carrying device can run between any lanes, realizing flexible scheduling of the carrying device between any lanes. The difference between the two lies in that the extension length of the conversion track of the first track and the second track in the direction perpendicular to the lane is different, and the connection mode between the conversion track and the shelf track can be fixed connection or movable connection.
[0063] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b, the present application provides a warehouse system, which comprises a plurality of shelves 1-20 arranged in a first direction X, a track assembly 1-21 and a carrying device 1-10. Adjacent shelves 1-20 form a lane 1-22. The track assembly 1-21 at least comprises a first track 1-211 and a second track 1-212. The first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212 are arranged in a height direction H of the shelf 1-20 and are arranged around the outer periphery of the shelf 1-20. The first track 1-211 comprises a first longitudinal track 1-2112 arranged between adjacent shelves 1-20 and a first transverse track 1-2111 arranged on the outer side of the shelf 1-20 perpendicular to the first direction X. The second track 1-212 comprises a second longitudinal track 1-2122 arranged between adjacent shelves 1-20 and a second transverse track 1-2121 arranged on the outer side of the shelf 1-20 perpendicular to the first direction X. The first transverse track 1-2111 and the second transverse track 1-2121 are used to switch the lane 1-22. The carrying device 1-10 comprises a column assembly 1-100, a lifting mechanism 1-400, a first driving mechanism 1-200, a second driving mechanism 1-300 and a goods taking mechanism 1-500 arranged on the column assembly 1-100. The lifting mechanism 1-400 is connected with the goods taking mechanism 1-500 and drives the goods taking mechanism 1-500 to move up and down along the column assembly 1-100. The goods taking mechanism 1-500 is used to carry goods at different heights on the shelf 1-20. The first driving mechanism 1-200 and the second driving mechanism 1-300 are used to drive the carrying device 1-10 to walk along the track assembly 1-21 and pass through between two adjacent lanes 1-22, so as to take and place goods on adjacent shelves 1-20.
[0064] The second direction Y is defined as the extension direction of the lane, and the first direction X is a direction intersecting the second direction Y, specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.
[0065] In the embodiment, the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212 are arranged around the outer periphery of the shelf 1-20, and the carrying device 1-10 can run on the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212 to realize position conversion from one side of the shelf 1-20 to the other side, so as to take and place goods on both sides of the shelf 1-20 and goods on adjacent shelves 1-20 on both sides of the shelf 1-20. That is, the carrying device 1-10 can realize track conversion by running along the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212, so that the number of carrying devices 1-10 can be reduced when the business volume is small, and more carrying devices 1-10 can be deployed in adjacent areas when the business volume is large, thereby improving the carrying efficiency and flexibility.
[0066] The carrying device 1-10 is provided with a goods taking mechanism 1-500 connected with the column assembly 1-100 and a lifting mechanism 1-400, the lifting mechanism 1-400 can drive the goods taking mechanism 1-500 to move up and down along the column assembly 1-100, so as to take and place goods at different heights of the shelf 1-20. The carrying device not only can take and place goods around the shelf 1-20 at any time, but also can take and place goods at any height of the shelf 1-20 at any time, so that the number of carrying devices 1-10 can be further saved when the business volume is small, and the carrying devices 1-10 can be flexibly scheduled.
[0067] The track assembly 1-21 at least includes the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212, that is, the track assembly 1-21 can only include two tracks of the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212, the track assembly 1-21 can also include a third track (not shown in the figure), that is, the track assembly 1-21 includes three tracks of the first track 1-211, the second track 1-212 and the third track. The track assembly 1-21 can also include four or more tracks, and each track is arranged at intervals along the height direction of the shelf 1-20.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the rack 1-20 includes a plurality of third columns 1-20a arranged at intervals along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the third columns 1-20a are connected by third cross beams 1-20b. The third columns 1-20a are rack columns, and the third cross beams 1-20b are rack cross beams. The first longitudinal track 1-2112 and the second longitudinal track 1-2122 are fixed to the third cross beams 1-20b of the same rack 1-20, and are used for the operation of the carrying device 1-10 and the taking and placing of goods on the racks 1-20 on both sides of the aisle 1-22. The carrying device 1-10 is arranged outside the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and the height direction H.
[0100] It should be understood that the first direction X and the second direction Y in the drawings are only schematic and do not constitute a limitation on the present application.
[0101] In the present embodiment, the first longitudinal track 1-2112 and the second longitudinal track 1-2122 are fixed to the third cross beams 1-20b of the same rack 1-20, for example, can be fixed to the outside of the third cross beams 1-20b, and the first longitudinal track 1-2112 and the third cross beams 1-20b, and the second longitudinal track 1-2122 and the third cross beams 1-20b can be fixedly connected by screws. Adjacent racks 1-20 use the same first track 1-211 and second track 1-212, reducing the number of track settings, so that the spacing between adjacent racks 1-20 can be smaller, thereby improving space utilization. The carrying device 1-10 can enter adjacent aisles 1-22 through the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212, and the scheduling is more flexible, and the goods on both sides of the aisle 1-22 can be taken and placed. When the business volume is small, the number of carrying devices 1-10 can be saved; when the business volume is large, more robots can be deployed in adjacent aisles 1-22 to improve efficiency and flexibility.
[0102] Please refer to Fig. 1, the first lateral rail 1-2111 and the first longitudinal rail 1-2112 can be an integral rail or a rail formed by separate setting and connection. The second lateral rail 1-2121 and the second longitudinal rail 1-2122 can be an integral rail or a rail formed by separate setting and connection. The first lateral rail 1-2111 and the second lateral rail 1-2121 can be supported by the support frame 1-23, thereby ensuring the strength and reliability of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212.
[0103] As shown in Fig. 1, each shelf 1-20 generally has a multi-layer structure, each layer can place a plurality of boxes, and the general shelf 1-20 has a single-row or double-row structure, each row has multiple columns along the direction of the aisle 1-22.
[0104] Preferably, the shelf 1-20 has a double-row structure, which can reduce the number of aisles 1-22, thereby improving the space utilization of the warehouse system. The double-row structure applied to the warehouse system of the present application has more obvious advantages. The carrying device 1-10 can run between adjacent aisles 1-22 to take and place goods in the double rows of the same shelf 1-20, and can also take and place goods in one row of the adjacent shelves 1-20 on both sides.
[0105] In other embodiments, the first longitudinal rail 1-2112 and the second longitudinal rail 1-2122 are fixed to the third cross beam 1-20b on the side of the two adjacent shelves 1-20 that are close to each other, for the carrying device 1-10 to run and take and place goods on the shelves 1-20 on both sides of the aisle 1-22. The carrying device 1-10 is arranged on the inner side of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212.
[0106] The arrangement positions of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212 in the present embodiment are slightly different from those in the previous embodiment. Instead of being fixed to the third cross beam 1-20b of the same shelf 1-20, a part of each of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212 is arranged on each of the two adjacent shelves 1-20, and on the third cross beam 1-20b on the side of the two adjacent shelves 1-20 that are close to each other. Moreover, due to the different arrangement positions of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212, the arrangement position of the carrying device 1-10 is also different from that in the previous embodiment. In the previous embodiment, the carrying device 1-10 is arranged on the outer side of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212. In the present embodiment, the carrying device 1-10 is arranged on the inner side of the first rail 1-211 and the second rail 1-212. Both of the two ways can reasonably utilize the space of the aisle 1-22.
[0107] In order to enhance the support strength of the shelf 1-20, a support beam 1-20c is further arranged between adjacent third columns 1-20a, as shown in FIG. 8. The support beam 1-20c can be provided with a plurality of support beams 1-20c along the height direction H of the shelf 1-20.
[0108] Whether the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212 are arranged on the same shelf 1-20 or on adjacent shelves 1-20, the first track 1-211 and the second track 1-212 can be a ring track or a U-shaped track, and the opening direction of the U-shaped track is parallel to the extension direction of the aisle 1-22.
[0109] The ring track mentioned herein refers to a closed track, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. The U-shaped track refers to a non-closed track with an opening at one end, as shown in FIG. 11. The U-shaped track facilitates the installation and maintenance of the carrying device 1-10. In order to prevent the carrying device 1-10 from sliding out of the opening of the U-shaped track during normal driving, a limiting structure is arranged at the opening.
[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2a, 2b, 5 and 6, the lifting mechanism 1-400 comprises at least one third driving motor 1-401 and a reduction motor 1-402.

The first driven wheel 1-403 and the third driven wheel 1-406 are respectively connected with the output shaft of one reduction motor 1-402, or the first driven wheel 1-403 is connected with the output shaft of the reduction motor 1-402, and the third driven wheel 1-406 is connected with the first driven wheel 1-403 through a shaft coupling 1-409.
[0111] The third driving motor 1-401 and the reduction motor 1-402 drive the first driven wheel 1-403 and the third driven wheel 1-406 to rotate, which can drive the synchronous belt or chain to move up and down, thereby driving the goods taking mechanism 1-500 to move up and down to reach different heights of the goods shelf 1-20 to take or place goods. The first driven wheel 1-403 and the third driven wheel 1-406 can share a set of third driving motor 1-401 and reduction motor 1-402, or can use a set of third driving motor 1-401 and reduction motor 1-402 respectively.
[0112] Of course, the form of the lifting mechanism 1-400 is not limited to the driven wheel and the synchronous belt, the sprocket and the chain, but also can be a gear rack.

[0114] The cooperation between the goods taking mechanism 1-500 and the upright assembly 1-100 through the third sliding rail 1-103 and the sliding block 1-504 can constrain the movement direction of the goods taking mechanism 1-500, so that the goods taking mechanism 1-500 moves along a straight line. As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the goods taking mechanism 1-500 includes a supporting plate 1-502 and a connecting side plate 1-505 located on both sides of the supporting plate 1-502, the connecting side plate 1-505 is used to be fixedly connected with the first synchronous belt 1-405 and the second synchronous belt 1-408, for example, by screws 1-506, and the connecting side plate 1-505 is also used to be fixedly connected with the sliding block 1-504, for example, by screws 1-506, and the fixed connection can also be welding, riveting, etc.

The lowermost storage site 1-213 is provided with a plurality of buffer sites 1-214, and the buffer sites 1-214 are used to temporarily store goods.
[0116] The buffer site 1-214 enables the goods taking mechanism 1-500 to temporarily store goods after completing a sorting and / or storage and retrieval action, and then transfers, sorts and delivers the goods to the destination storage site or sorting site, or even the completed transport site through the connection of the goods transport robot.
[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 14, the carrying device 1-10 further comprises a power supply mechanism 1-600 and a battery, the power supply mechanism 1-600 comprises a slide wire 1-601, a brush plate 1-602 connected with a brush block, the first transverse rail 1-2111 comprises a first body segment 1-2111a and a first transition segment 1-2111b, the second transverse rail 1-2121 comprises a second body segment 1-2121a and a second transition segment 1-2121b, the first body segment 1-2111a and the second body segment 1-2121a are straight segments, the first transition segment 1-2111b and the second transition segment 1-2121b are curved segments, the slide wire 1-601 is arranged below the straight segments of the first rail 1-211 and / or the second rail 1-212, the brush plate 1-602 is in sliding connection with the slide wire 1-601, and the brush block is in electrical connection with the battery.
[0118] The slide wire 1-601 is arranged at the straight segments of the first rail 1-211 and / or the second rail 1-212, the brush block is in electrical connection with the battery of the carrying device 1-10, when the carrying device 1-10 is in the straight segments, the brush plate 1-602 is in contact with the slide wire 1-601, for charging the battery of the carrying device 1-10.

[0121] The third aspect of the present application provides a warehouse system, the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 are through rails arranged corresponding to multiple racks 2-20 along the second direction Y'. The multiple aisles 2-22 on the same side correspond to the same first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122, which is equivalent to extending the first transverse rail 1-2111 and the second transverse rail 1-2121 of the warehouse system described above. The rail corresponding to one of the racks in the original Figure 1 becomes the rail corresponding to multiple racks in Figure 15. As shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16, the second connecting rail 2-2123 in part C of Figure 15 is in a disconnected state with the second conversion rail 2-2122, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 in part D of Figure 16 is in a connected state with the second conversion rail 2-2122. The warehouse system comprises: racks 2-20, first rails 2-211, and second rails 2-212. Among them, the racks 2-20 are multiple and arranged at intervals, and the aisles 2-22 are formed between adjacent racks 2-20. The first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212 are arranged at intervals along the height direction H' of the rack 2-20 and are arranged around the outer periphery of the rack 2-20. The first rail 2-211 includes multiple first rack rails 2-2111 arranged along the first direction X' and located on at least one side of the same rack 2-20, first conversion rails 2-2112 arranged along the second direction Y' and located on at least one side of the rack 2-20, and first connecting rails 2-2113 arranged at least one end of each of the first rack rails 2-2111 or at least one end of each of the first conversion rails 2-2112. The first connecting rail 2-2113 is movably connected with the first rack rail 2-2111 or the first connecting rail 2-2113 is movably connected with the first conversion rail 2-2112, so that the free end of the first connecting rail 2-2113 can be connected with or disconnected from the first conversion rail 2-2112 or the first rack rail 2-2111. The second rail 2-212 includes multiple second rack rails 2-2121 arranged along the first direction X' and located on at least one side of the same rack 2-20, second conversion rails 2-2122 arranged along the second direction Y' and located on at least one side of the rack 2-20, and second connecting rails 2-2123 arranged at least one end of each of the second rack rails 2-2121 or at least one end of each of the second conversion rails 2-2122. The second connecting rail 2-2123 is movably connected with the second rack rail 2-2121 or the second connecting rail 2-2123 is movably connected with the second conversion rail 2-2122, so that the free end of the second connecting rail 2-2123 can be connected with or disconnected from the second conversion rail 2-2122 or the second rack rail 2-2121. Among them, the first direction X' is the extension direction of the aisle 2-22, and the second direction Y' intersects the first direction.
[0122] The first direction X' is defined as the extension direction of the aisle 2-22, and the first direction X' intersects with the second direction Y'. In an embodiment, the second direction Y' is perpendicular to the aisle 2-22. The directions in the drawings are only for illustration and should not be construed as limiting the present application, because the first direction X' can also be defined as the direction perpendicular to the aisle 2-22. Based on the above definition, the first shelf rail 2-2111 is a rail arranged along the extension direction of the aisle 2-22, and the first conversion rail 2-2112 is a rail perpendicular to the extension direction of the aisle 2-22. Similarly, the second shelf rail 2-2121 is a rail arranged along the extension direction of the aisle 2-22, and the second conversion rail 2-2122 is a rail perpendicular to the extension direction of the aisle 2-22. The first shelf rail 2-2111 located on at least one side of the same shelf 2-20 means that it can be located on one side of the same shelf 2-20 or on both sides of the same shelf 2-20. When located on one side of the same shelf 2-20, the first shelf rails 2-2111 of adjacent two shelves 2-20 are located on the same side of the respective shelves 2-20. The second shelf rail 2-2121 located on at least one side of the same shelf 2-20 means that it can be located on one side of the same shelf 2-20 or on both sides of the same shelf 2-20. When located on one side of the same shelf 2-20, the second shelf rails 2-2121 of adjacent two shelves 2-20 are located on the same side of the respective shelves 2-20. At least one end of the first shelf rail 2-2111 or at least one end of the first conversion rail 2-2112 is provided with a first connecting rail 2-2113, that is, the first connecting rail 2-2113 can be arranged at one end of the first shelf rail 2-2111 or at one end of the first conversion rail. At least one end of the second shelf rail 2-2121 or at least one end of the second conversion rail 2-2122 is provided with a second connecting rail 2-2123, that is, the second connecting rail 2-2123 can be arranged at one end of the second shelf rail 2-2121 or at one end of the second conversion rail 2-2122. The embodiments of the present application are described in detail taking the first connecting rail 2-2113 arranged at one end of the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the second connecting rail 2-2123 arranged at one end of the second shelf rail 2-2121 as an example.
[0123] Specifically, at least one end of the first shelf rail 2-2111 is provided with a first connecting rail 2-2113, which is movably connected with the first shelf rail 2-2111. For example, the first connecting rail 2-2113 can be rotatably connected with the first shelf rail 2-2111 through a rotating shaft. The first connecting rail 2-2113 can be connected with the first conversion rail 2-2112 by rotating a certain angle. At least one end of the second shelf rail 2-2121 is provided with a second connecting rail 2-2123, which is movably connected with the second shelf rail 2-2121. For example, the second connecting rail 2-2123 can be rotatably connected with the second shelf rail 2-2121 through a rotating shaft. The second connecting rail 2-2123 can be connected with the second conversion rail 2-2122 by rotating a certain angle. Therefore, the carrying device 2-10 running on the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212 can change lanes by connecting or disconnecting the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, so that the carrying device 2-10 running thereon can successfully run between various aisles 2-22, and the scheduling is more flexible. When the business volume is small, a small number of carrying devices 2-10 can cover the picking and placing requirements; when the business volume is large, more carrying devices 2-10 can be deployed in the required area to improve the carrying efficiency.
[0124] In addition, by arranging two rails up and down, the carrying device 2-10 runs on the two rails at the same time. The first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212 arranged up and down can constrain the carrying device 2-10, thereby improving the running stability of the carrying device 2-10. The first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212 are supported by a plurality of support frames 2-23.
[0125] The warehouse system includes the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212, i.e., the rail assembly in this embodiment can include only the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212. The warehouse system can also include a third rail (not shown in the figure), i.e., the rail assembly in this embodiment includes the first rail 2-211, the second rail 2-212, and the third rail. The rail assembly in this embodiment can also include four or more rails, each of which is arranged at intervals along the height direction H' of the shelf 2-20. Of course, the warehouse system can also include only one rail, which can be the first rail 2-211 or the second rail 2-212.

The second side wall 2-2112c has a second opening 2-2122b1, and the second side wall 2-2112c comprises a second swing member 2-2122b2 rotatably connected thereto. The second swing member 2-2122b2 can be turned through a certain angle under the push of the second connecting rail 2-2123, so as to open the second opening 2-2122b1, so that the second connecting rail 2-2123 can enter the second conversion rail 2-2122 and be connected with the second conversion rail 2-2122 to form a rail changing channel.

The opening and blocking of the second opening 2-2122b1 do not need to increase the electric control, and can be completed under the action of the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second reset member, so as to simplify the structure of the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212.
[0129] Optionally, the first reset member can be a reset spring, and the second reset member can also be a reset spring.
[0130] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17, FIG. 18, FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, the warehouse system further comprises a first linkage mechanism 2-30, a second linkage mechanism 2-40 and a carrying device 2-10. One end of the first linkage mechanism 2-30 is connected to the first conversion rail 2-2112, and the other end is connected to the first connecting rail 2-2113. One end of the second linkage mechanism 2-40 is connected to the second conversion rail 2-2122, and the other end is connected to the second connecting rail 2-2123. The carrying device 2-10 travels along the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212. The carrying device 2-10 comprises a control component, a column assembly 2-100, and a first drive mechanism 2-200 and a second drive mechanism 2-300 arranged on the column assembly 2-100. The column assembly 2-100 comprises a first column 2-101 and a second column 2-102 arranged in a vertical direction H' along the height of the shelf 2-20. The first drive mechanism 2-200 comprises a first roller 2-202 rotatably connected to the first column 2-101, a second roller 2-203 rotatably connected to the second column 2-102, and a first telescopic assembly 2-240 electrically connected to the control component. At least one of the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 is connected to a first drive motor 2-201. The second drive mechanism 2-300 comprises a third roller 2-302 rotatably connected to the first column 2-101, a fourth roller 2-303 rotatably connected to the second column 2-102, and a second telescopic assembly 2-311 electrically connected to the control component. At least one of the third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 is connected to a second drive motor 2-301. When the carrying device 2-10 changes lanes from the first direction X' to the second direction Y', the carrying device 2-10 can apply a centrifugal force to the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the second connecting rail 2-2123, so that the first connecting rail 2-2113 rotates relative to the first conversion rail 2-2112, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 rotates relative to the second conversion rail 2-2122, thereby connecting the first connecting rail 2-2113 to the first conversion rail 2-2112 and connecting the second connecting rail 2-2123 to the second conversion rail 2-2122. When the carrying device 2-10 changes lanes from the second direction Y' to the first direction X', under the drive of the control component, the first telescopic assembly 2-240 acts on the first linkage mechanism 2-30 to connect the first connecting rail 2-2113 to the first shelf rail 2-2111, and the second telescopic assembly 2-311 acts on the second linkage mechanism 2-40 to connect the second connecting rail 2-2123 to the first conversion rail 2-2112.
[0131] The first connecting rod mechanism 2-30 and the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40 can support the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the second connecting rail 2-2123. When the carrying device 2-10 changes lanes from the second direction Y' to the first direction X', the first telescopic part 2-2402 is controlled by the control component to act on the first connecting rod mechanism 2-30, the first connecting rod mechanism 2-30 drives the first connecting rail 2-2113 to move towards the first conversion rail 2-2112, pushes the first swing part to open the first opening, so that the first connecting rail 2-2113 is connected with the first conversion rail 2-2112. At the same time, the second telescopic part 2-3112 is controlled by the control component to act on the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40, the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40 drives the second connecting rail 2-2123 to move towards the second conversion rail 2-2122, pushes the second swing part 2-2122b2 to open the second opening 2-2122b1, so that the second connecting rail 2-2123 is connected with the second conversion rail 2-2122. Therefore, the carrying device 2-10 can change lanes to the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 through the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the second connecting rail 2-2123, and change the driving direction. The carrying device 2-10 can also change lanes between different tunnels 2-22 in a similar manner. Therefore, more carrying devices 2-10 can be deployed in areas with high local traffic volume, and fewer carrying devices 2-10 can be deployed in areas with low traffic volume, thereby optimizing the allocation of carrying devices 2-10 and improving carrying efficiency. Because the carrying devices 2-10 can be flexibly deployed according to traffic volume, costs can also be saved.
[0132] In addition, the carrying device 2-10 can complete the rail change by the mechanism provided on the carrying device 2-10 itself during the rail change process, without the need for additional electric control, which is convenient for control and scheduling and is conducive to saving energy consumption.
[0133] As shown in FIG. 21, the column assembly 2-100 includes two columns, i.e., a first column 2-101 and a second column 2-102, which facilitates the mounting of the carrying device 2-10 on the column assembly 2-100. The first driving mechanism 2-200 of the carrying device 2-10 includes a first roller 2-202 and a second roller 2-203 arranged on the first column 2-101 and the second column 2-102 respectively, which can improve the running stability of the carrying device 2-10 by running along the first rail 2-211 through the front and rear rollers. The carrying device 2-10 further includes a second driving mechanism 2-300, and the two driving mechanisms enable the carrying device 2-10 to run on two rails, which can further improve the running stability of the carrying device 2-10 by constraining the carrying device 2-10 through the two rails.
[0134] As shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 are connected with at least one first driving motor 2-201, that is, one of them is connected with the first driving motor 2-201 as a driving wheel, and the other is a driven wheel; or both of them are connected with the first driving motor 2-201 as driving wheels. The third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 are connected with at least one second driving motor 2-301, that is, one of them is connected with the second driving motor 2-301 as a driving wheel, and the other is a driven wheel; or both of them are connected with the second driving motor 2-301 as driving wheels. Since the first roller 2-202 and the third roller 2-302 are rotationally connected with the first vertical column 2-101, and the second roller 2-203 and the fourth roller 2-303 are rotationally connected with the second vertical column 2-102, when passing through the turning of the first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212, the first roller 2-202 and the third roller 2-302 can rotate a certain angle relative to the first vertical column 2-101, and the second roller 2-203 and the fourth roller 2-303 can rotate a certain angle relative to the second vertical column 2-102, which can adapt to the change of the track by rotating a certain angle of the roller relative to the vertical column assembly 2-100, so that the carrying device 2-10 can turn smoothly, and has the advantages of simple structure.
[0135] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the first linkage mechanism 2-30 includes a first sub-linkage 2-31 and a second sub-linkage 2-32, the first sub-linkage 2-31 is rotationally connected with the first conversion track 2-2112, the first sub-linkage 2-31 is rotationally connected with the second sub-linkage 2-32, the second sub-linkage 2-32 is rotationally connected with the first connecting track 2-2113, and a third reset member 2-33 is arranged between the first sub-linkage 2-31 and the second sub-linkage 2-32, so that after the lane changing of the carrying device 2-10 is successful, the first connecting track 2-2113 is automatically reset under the action of the third reset member 2-33. The second linkage mechanism 2-40 includes a third sub-linkage 2-41 and a fourth sub-linkage 2-42, the third sub-linkage 2-41 is rotationally connected with the second conversion track 2-2122, the third sub-linkage 2-41 is rotationally connected with the fourth sub-linkage 2-42, the fourth sub-linkage 2-42 is rotationally connected with the second connecting track 2-2123, and a fourth reset member 2-43 is arranged between the third sub-linkage 2-41 and the fourth sub-linkage 2-42, so that after the lane changing of the carrying device 2-10 is successful, the second connecting track 2-2123 is automatically reset under the action of the fourth reset member 2-43.
[0136] In this embodiment, the first linkage mechanism 2-30 is composed of two sub-linkages, which is a binary linkage. The second linkage mechanism 2-40 is also composed of two sub-linkages, which is also a binary linkage. The first linkage mechanism 2-30 and the second linkage mechanism 2-40 are used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The length and connection position of the first sub-linkage 2-31 and the second sub-linkage 2-32 determine the shape and mechanical properties of the first linkage mechanism 2-30. The length and connection position of the third sub-linkage 2-41 and the fourth sub-linkage 2-42 determine the shape and mechanical properties of the second linkage mechanism 2-40. Binary linkages are widely used in various mechanical devices, such as engines, transmission systems, rocker arms, cutting machines, elevators, etc. Their main advantages are simplicity, reliability, compact structure, high precision, strong transmission capacity, etc. Binary linkages are particularly suitable for occasions that require a large amount of linear motion output.

[0138] It can be understood that the first linkage mechanism 2-30 and the second linkage mechanism 2-40 can also be ternary linkages, i.e., composed of three connecting rods. Ternary linkages can also be used in occasions that require more complex motion.

One end of the first sub-linkage 2-31 close to the first conversion track 2-2112 has a first inclined surface 2-31a, when the carrying device 2-10 moves in the positive direction Y’1 of the second direction Y’ and needs to change lanes, the control component controls the first driving member 2-2401 to drive the first telescopic member 2-2402 to cooperate with the first inclined surface 2-31a, and makes the first sub-linkage 2-31 rotate clockwise, so that the first connecting track 2-2113 is connected with the first conversion track 2-2112. One end of the third sub-linkage 2-41 close to the second conversion track 2-2122 has a second inclined surface 2-41a, when the carrying device 2-10 moves in the positive direction Y’1 of the second direction Y’ and needs to change lanes, the control component controls the second driving member 2-3111 to drive the second telescopic member 2-3112 to cooperate with the second inclined surface 2-41a, and makes the third sub-linkage 2-41 rotate clockwise, so that the second connecting track 2-2123 is connected with the second conversion track 2-2122.

That is, when the carrying device changes lanes from the first direction X' to the second direction Y', the first guide member and / or the second guide member can be in contact with the inner surface of the first outer side wall 2-211a of the first track 2-211, thereby applying a centrifugal force to the first outer side wall 2-211a, causing the first connecting rail 2-2113 to rotate and move towards the first conversion rail 2-2112, thereby achieving automatic closure. And the third guide member and / or the fourth guide member can be in contact with the inner surface of the second outer side wall 2-212a of the second track 2-212, thereby applying a centrifugal force to the second outer side wall 2-212a, causing the second connecting rail 2-2123 to rotate and move towards the second conversion rail 2-2122, thereby achieving automatic closure.
[0152] In the embodiment, the guide member not only reduces direct collision between the carrying device 2-10 and the first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212, but also facilitates turning of the carrying device 2-10, and drives the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112 to automatically close, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 to automatically close when the carrying device 2-10 changes lanes from the first direction X' to the second direction Y'. And through the cooperation of the guide member and the side wall of the track, the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 are automatically closed. The lane change process relies on the cooperation between pure mechanical components for control, without the need for electric control, which can simplify the probability of errors.
[0153] And the above structure fully considers the inevitability of lane change. Because the first direction X' is the extension direction of the lane 2-22, and the second direction Y' is the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the lane 2-22, after driving along the first direction X' to the end, unless returning to the original lane, it is necessary to change lanes to enter the next lane 2-22, so there is no need to judge whether to go straight or change lanes.
[0154] When the carrying device 2-10 travels straight along the first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212, as shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, at this time, the travel route of the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 of the first driving mechanism 2-200 is parallel to the first cross beam 2-204, and the travel route of the third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 of the second driving mechanism 2-300 is parallel to the second cross beam 2-304. When the carrying device 2-10 enters a curve along the first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212, as shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 29, at this time, the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 of the first driving mechanism 2-200 rotate with the first support 2-205 and the second support 2-206 under the guidance of the first guide and / or the second guide, so as to rotate relative to the first cross beam 2-204, and the travel route changes from being parallel to the first cross beam 2-204 to being at a certain angle with the first cross beam 2-204, so that the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 adapt to the change of the track direction and complete the direction transformation along the first track 2-211. At the same time, the third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 of the second driving mechanism 2-300 rotate with the third support 2-305 and the fourth support 2-306 under the guidance of the third guide and / or the fourth guide, so as to rotate relative to the second cross beam 2-304, and the travel route changes from being parallel to the second cross beam 2-304 to being at a certain angle with the second cross beam 2-304, so that the third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 adapt to the change of the track direction and complete the direction transformation along the second track 2-212.
[0155] Optionally, the first driving mechanism 2-200 can separately include the first guide or separately include the second guide, or the first driving mechanism 2-200 simultaneously includes the first guide and the second guide. The second driving mechanism 2-300 can also separately include the third guide or the fourth guide, or the second driving mechanism 2-300 simultaneously includes the third guide and the fourth guide.

The second guide is a second guide wheel 2-208 arranged on both sides of the second roller 2-203, the outer peripheral wall of the second guide wheel 2-208 is in contact with the inner wall on both sides of the first track 2-211, the second guide wheel 2-208 is connected with the second support 2-206 through a second rotating shaft 2-208a parallel to the height direction H' of the shelf 2-20, and the second guide wheel 2-208 is rotationally connected with the second rotating shaft 2-208a. The third guide is a third guide wheel 2-307 arranged on both sides of the third roller 2-302, the outer peripheral wall of the third guide wheel 2-307 is in contact with the inner wall on both sides of the second track 2-212, the third guide wheel 2-307 is connected with the third support 2-305 through a third rotating shaft 2-307a parallel to the height direction H' of the shelf 2-20, and the third guide wheel 2-307 is rotationally connected with the third rotating shaft 2-307a. The fourth guide is a fourth guide wheel 2-308 arranged on both sides of the fourth roller 2-303, the outer peripheral wall of the fourth guide wheel 2-308 is in contact with the inner wall on both sides of the second track 2-212, the fourth guide wheel 2-308 is connected with the fourth support 2-306 through a fourth rotating shaft 2-308a parallel to the height direction H' of the shelf 2-20, and the fourth guide wheel 2-308 is rotationally connected with the fourth rotating shaft 2-308a.
[0157] In one aspect, when the carrying device 2-10 runs along the first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212, the first driving motor 2-201 drives the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 to run along the first track 2-211, the second driving motor 2-301 drives the third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 to run along the second track 2-212, the first guide wheel 2-207 and the second guide wheel 2-208 abut against the two side walls of the first track 2-211, which can guide the carrying device 2-10 and avoid the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 from colliding with the first track 2-211 directly during turning. The third guide wheel 2-307 and the fourth guide wheel 2-308 abut against the two side walls of the second track 2-212, which can guide the carrying device 2-10 and avoid the third roller 2-302 and the fourth roller 2-303 from colliding with the second track 2-212 directly during turning. At the same time, the rotation of the first guide wheel 2-207 and the second guide wheel 2-208 can avoid direct friction between the two side walls of the first track 2-211, and the rotation of the third guide wheel 2-307 and the fourth guide wheel 2-308 can avoid direct friction between the two side walls of the second track 2-212, which protects the first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212 and reduces the running resistance of the carrying device 2-10.
[0158] On the other hand, the first guide wheel 2-207 and the second guide wheel 2-208 contact the two side walls of the first track 2-211, and when the carrying device 2-10 passes through the first connecting track 2-2113 and the second connecting track 2-2123 from the first direction X' to the second direction Y', the first connecting track 2-2113 and the second connecting track 2-2123 can be subjected to centrifugal force, so that the first connecting track 2-2113 moves towards the first conversion track 2-2112 to realize automatic closing, and the second connecting track 2-2123 moves towards the second conversion track 2-2122 to realize automatic closing.
[0159] Optionally, the first guide and / or the second guide can be guide rods parallel to the rotation shafts of the first roller 2-202 and the second roller 2-203 and contacting the inner walls of the two sides of the first track 2-211, the guide rod arranged on one side of the first roller 2-202 is arranged in the first support 2-205, and the guide rod arranged on one side of the second roller 2-203 is arranged in the second support 2-206, and the guide rod arranged in the first support 2-205 or the second support 2-206 can rotate synchronously with the support during turning. The portions of the two ends of the guide rod contacting the inner walls of the two sides of the first track 2-211 can be spherical to reduce the contact area with the inner walls.

[0171] As shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, when the carrying device 2-10 enters the first connecting rail 2-2113 from the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second connecting rail 2-2123 from the second conversion rail 2-2122, the control component controls the first telescopic part 2-2402 and the second telescopic part 2-3112 at the front end in the advancing direction to extend, and through the first telescopic part 2-2402 acting on the first inclined surface 2-31a of the first linkage mechanism 2-30, drives the first linkage mechanism 2-30 to rotate, so that the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112 are connected in a closed manner, and through the second telescopic part 2-3112 acting on the second inclined surface 2-41a of the second linkage mechanism 2-40, drives the second linkage mechanism 2-40 to rotate, so that the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 are connected in a closed manner, and at the same time, the first protruding part cooperates with the first recessed part, and the second protruding part 2-2123a cooperates with the second recessed part 2-61a, so as to maintain the closed state of the rails. Then the carrying device 2-10 smoothly passes through the rail changing area and enters the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the second shelf rail 2-2121 area. The rail changing area refers to the intersection area of the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122. After the carrying device 2-10 successfully changes lanes, the rails remain in a closed state, and when the next carrying device 2-10 needs to straightly pass through the rail changing area along the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122, since the rails are still closed at this time, the control component needs to control the first telescopic part 2-2402 and the second telescopic part 2-3112 at the front end in the advancing direction to extend again, and through the first telescopic part 2-2402 acting on the third linkage mechanism 2-50 and the second telescopic part 2-3112 acting on the fourth linkage mechanism 2-60, the cooperation between the first protruding part and the first recessed part and the cooperation between the second protruding part 2-2123a and the second recessed part 2-61a are released. Specifically, it can be divided into two cases: the carrying device 2-10 travels in the positive direction Y'1 of the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 or the carrying device 2-10 travels in the negative direction Y'2 of the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122.
[0172] When moving in the positive direction Y'1 of the second direction Y', the control component controls the first telescopic piece 2-2402 located at the front end in the moving direction to extend and cooperate with the third inclined surface, and under the action of the first telescopic piece 2-2402, the fifth sub-connecting rod 2-51 rotates counterclockwise, and the sixth sub-connecting rod 2-52 and the seventh sub-connecting rod 2-53 are driven to rotate, so that the first recess moves away from the first protrusion, thereby releasing the cooperation between the two, and similarly, the second telescopic piece 2-3112 acts on the sixth inclined surface 2-61b to release the cooperation between the second protrusion 2-2123a and the second recess 2-61a. After releasing the cooperation, the first connecting rail 2-2113 is automatically reset to the initial state under the action of the third reset piece 2-33 of the first connecting rod mechanism 2-30, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 is automatically reset to the initial state under the action of the fourth reset piece 2-43 of the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40. The initial state refers to a state in which the first connecting rail 2-2113 is not connected with the first conversion rail 2-2112 and maintains a certain distance from the first conversion rail 2-2112, and a state in which the second connecting rail 2-2123 is not connected with the second conversion rail 2-2122 and maintains a certain distance from the second conversion rail 2-2122, and the distance between the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the distance between the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 are preferably not to hinder the normal operation of the carrying device 2-10.
[0173] When moving in the negative direction Y'2 of the second direction Y', as shown in FIG. 14, the control component controls the first telescopic piece 2-2402 located at the front end in the moving direction to extend and cooperate with the fifth inclined surface, and under the action of the first telescopic piece 2-2402, the seventh sub-connecting rod 2-53 rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the fifth sub-connecting rod 2-51 to move away from the first protrusion, thereby releasing the cooperation between the first recess and the first protrusion, and similarly, the control component controls the second telescopic piece 2-3112 to extend and cooperate with the eighth inclined surface 2-63a, and under the action of the second telescopic piece 2-3112, the tenth sub-connecting rod 2-63 rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the eighth sub-connecting rod 2-61 to move away from the second protrusion 2-2123a, thereby releasing the cooperation between the second protrusion 2-2123a and the second recess 2-61a. After releasing the cooperation, the first connecting rail 2-2113 is automatically reset to the initial state under the action of the third reset piece 2-33 of the first connecting rod mechanism 2-30, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 is automatically reset to the initial state under the action of the fourth reset piece 2-43 of the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40.
[0174] The carrying device 2-10 is connected to the first conversion rail 2-2112 through the first connecting rail 2-2113 and connected to the second conversion rail 2-2122 through the second connecting rail 2-2123, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19. Under the action of the first guide and / or the second guide, the first connecting rail 2-2113 is connected to the first conversion rail 2-2112, and the first protruding part is matched with the first recessed part. Under the action of the third guide and / or the fourth guide, the second connecting rail 2-2123 is connected to the second conversion rail 2-2122, and the second protruding part 2-2123a is matched with the second recessed part 2-61a. The control component controls the first telescopic part 2-2402 at the rear end in the advancing direction to extend and match with the fourth inclined surface, and controls the fifth sub-connecting rod 2-51 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the first protruding part is disengaged from the first recessed part. The control component controls the second telescopic part 2-3112 at the rear end in the advancing direction to extend and match with the seventh inclined surface 2-61c, and controls the eighth sub-connecting rod 2-61 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the second protruding part 2-2123a is disengaged from the second recessed part 2-61a.
[0175] In the embodiment, when the carrying device 2-10 runs to the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the second connecting rail 2-2123, the first connecting rail 2-2113 is automatically close to the first conversion rail 2-2112, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 is automatically close to the second conversion rail 2-2122 by the centrifugal force of the first guide and / or the second guide to the first outer side wall 2-211a of the first rail 2-211 and the centrifugal force of the third guide and / or the fourth guide to the second outer side wall 2-212a of the second rail 2-212, and the closed connection of the two is realized. During the connection of the two, the first protruding part is matched with the first recessed part through the first guide surface, and the second protruding part 2-2123a is matched with the second recessed part 2-61a through the third guide surface 2-61d, so as to lock and connect the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122. When the carrying device 2-10 runs to the end of the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the second connecting rail 2-2123, the free end of the first connecting rail 2-2113 is abutted by the fourth inclined surface, and the free end of the second connecting rail 2-2123 is abutted by the seventh inclined surface 2-61c. At this time, the first protruding part is successfully unlocked by controlling the first telescopic part 2-2402 at the rear end in the advancing direction to extend and act on the fourth inclined surface. After unlocking, the first connecting rail 2-2113 is reset to the initial state under the action of the third reset part 2-33, and the second connecting rail 2-2123 is reset to the initial state under the action of the fourth reset part 2-43.
[0176] In the embodiment, the unlocking of the first protruding part and the first recessed part, and the second protruding part 2-2123a and the second recessed part 2-61a is realized through the cooperation of the first telescopic part 2-2402 and the third linkage mechanism 2-50, and the cooperation of the second telescopic part 2-3112 and the fourth linkage mechanism 2-60, without the need to set a special motor to drive the third linkage mechanism 2-50 and the fourth linkage mechanism 2-60. Moreover, the first telescopic part 2-2402 can be used in cooperation with the first linkage mechanism 2-30 and the third linkage mechanism 2-50 at the same time, and the second telescopic part 2-3112 can be used in cooperation with the second linkage mechanism 2-40 and the fourth linkage mechanism 2-60 at the same time, which can further simplify the structure of the carrying device 2-10.

In this way, the first swing part and the second swing part 2-2122b2 can avoid interfering with the first protruding part and the second protruding part 2-2123a in the height direction H’, so that the first swing part and the second swing part 2-2122b2 or the first protruding part and the second protruding part 2-2123a do not need to be made into a special-shaped structure for avoiding interference, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the first swing part and the second swing part 2-2122b2, and the first protruding part and the second protruding part 2-2123a.

[0185] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 30a and FIG. 31a, the conveying device 2-10 further comprises a lifting mechanism 2-400 and a goods taking mechanism 2-500 arranged on the column assembly 2-100, the lifting mechanism 2-400 is connected with the goods taking mechanism 2-500 and drives the goods taking mechanism 2-500 to move up and down along the column assembly 2-100, and the goods taking mechanism 2-500 is used to convey goods at different heights of the goods shelf 2-20. The lifting mechanism 2-400 comprises at least one third driving motor 2-401 and a speed reducer 2-402, the third driving motor 2-401 is fixed to the top end of the first column 2-101 and the second column 2-102, and the third driving motor 2-401 and the speed reducer 2-402 are connected.

[0186] By fixing the taking mechanism 2-500 with a synchronous belt or chain, when the third driving motor 2-401 and the reduction motor 2-402 drive the first driven wheel 2-403 and the third driven wheel 2-406 to rotate, the synchronous belt or chain can be driven to move up and down, thereby driving the taking mechanism 2-500 to move up and down to reach different heights of the shelves 2-20 to take and place goods. The first driven wheel 2-403 and the third driven wheel 2-406 can share a set of third driving motor 2-401 and reduction motor 2-402, or can use a set of third driving motor 2-401 and reduction motor 2-402 respectively.
[0187] In this embodiment, the carrying device can run across the aisle 2-22, so that the goods on each shelf 2-20 can be taken and placed at any time, and under the action of the lifting mechanism 2-400, the goods at any height of each shelf 2-20 can also be taken and placed at any time. When the business volume is small, the number of carrying devices 2-10 can be further saved to realize flexible scheduling of the carrying devices 2-10.
[0188] Of course, the form of the lifting mechanism 2-400 is not limited to the driven wheel and the synchronous belt, the sprocket and the chain, but also can be a gear rack, etc.
[0189] Optionally, the taking mechanism 2-500 includes a hooking and pulling assembly 2-501 and a transmission assembly (not shown in the figure), the hooking and pulling assembly 2-501 includes a hooking and pulling plate, which can reciprocate under the control of a driving part to realize the function. Among them, the hooking and pulling assembly 2-501 can also be replaced by other forms such as lifting, clamping, suction cup, etc. to realize similar functions. For example, a hooking and pulling form is shown in FIG. 30a. As shown in FIGS. 30a, 30b and 30c, the taking mechanism 2-500 includes a hooking and pulling assembly 2-501, a transmission assembly and a supporting plate 2-502. As shown in FIG. 30b, the taking device 10 is also provided with a visual sensor or a distance sensor for sensing the distance between the goods and the taking mechanism 2-500. The visual sensor or the distance sensor can be installed on the column assembly 2-100 or on the taking mechanism 2-500, wherein the visual sensor can be a camera 2-503.
[0190] Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 30c and 31b, the first column 2-101 and / or the second column 2-102 are provided with a third sliding rail 2-103, and the taking mechanism 2-500 is provided with a sliding block 2-504 matched with the third sliding rail 2-103, so that the taking mechanism moves along a straight line.
[0191] The third slide rail 2-103 and the slider 2-504 between the goods taking mechanism 2-500 and the column assembly 2-100 cooperate, which can constrain the movement direction of the goods taking mechanism 2-500, so that the goods taking mechanism 2-500 moves linearly. In combination with FIGS. 30a, 30c and 31b, the goods taking mechanism 2-500 includes a supporting plate 2-502 and a connecting side plate 2-505 located on both sides of the supporting plate 2-502, which is used to be fixedly connected with the first synchronous belt 2-405 and the second synchronous belt 2-408, for example, by screws 2-506, and is also used to be fixedly connected with the slider 2-504, for example, by screws 2-506. Of course, the fixed connection can also be welding, riveting, etc.
[0192] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the goods shelves 2-20 are each provided with a plurality of storage positions 2-213 in the height direction H' and the extension direction of the aisles 2-22, which is the first direction X' in FIGS. 15 and 16. The depth of the goods shelves 2-20 is a single storage position 2-213 or two storage positions 2-213. A plurality of buffer positions 2-214 are arranged below the bottommost storage position 2-213, which are used to temporarily store goods.
[0193] The buffer positions 2-214 enable the goods taking mechanism 2-500 to temporarily store goods after completing a sorting and / or storage and retrieval action, and then transfer, sort and deliver the goods to the target storage position or sorting position or even the completed transport position through the transfer of the goods delivery robot.
[0194] Preferably, the depth of the goods shelves 2-20 is two storage positions 2-213. Since the conveying device 2-10 runs across the aisles 2-22, it can convey two rows of goods of the same goods shelf 2-20, and the adjacent goods shelves 2-20 can share an aisle 2-22, thereby reducing the number of aisles 2-22, increasing the discharge density of the goods shelves 2-20, and further improving the space utilization of the warehouse system.
[0195] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 15-20, the first rail 2-211 is located at the top of the shelf 2-20 and is lower than the height of the highest storage position 2-213, the second rail 2-212 is located at the bottom of the shelf 2-20 and is higher than the height of the buffer position 2-214, and the third slide rail 2-103 extends above the plane of the highest storage position 2-213 and extends below the plane of the buffer position 2-214; the second sub-link 2-32 comprises a first vertical segment 2-32a extending upward, a first horizontal segment 2-32b connected to the first vertical segment 2-32a, and a second vertical segment 2-32c connected to the first horizontal segment 2-32b and extending downward, and the distance between the first vertical segment 2-32a and the second vertical segment 2-32c is greater than the distance between the first upright column 2-101 and the second upright column 2-102; the fourth sub-link 2-42 comprises a third vertical segment 2-42a extending downward, a second horizontal segment 2-42b connected to the third vertical segment 2-42a, and a fourth vertical segment 2-42c connected to the second horizontal segment 2-42b and extending upward, and the distance between the third vertical segment 2-42a and the fourth vertical segment 2-42c is greater than the distance between the first upright column 2-101 and the second upright column 2-102.
[0196] In this embodiment, the third slide rail 2-103 extends above the highest storage position 2-213 and extends below the buffer position 2-214, so that the goods taking mechanism 2-500 can take goods located on the highest storage position 2-213 and the lowest storage position 2-213, and can also take goods located on the buffer position 2-214. The second sub-link 2-32 and the fourth sub-link 2-42 are arranged in the above-mentioned special-shaped structure to avoid the third slide rail 2-103 of the carrying device 2-10 and the upright column assembly 2-100 provided with the third slide rail 2-103, so that the carrying device 2-10 does not interfere with the first link mechanism 2-30 and the second link mechanism 2-40 during passing. In addition, the special-shaped structure of the second sub-link 2-32 also provides sufficient space at the top end of the upright column assembly 2-100 for installing the third driving motor 2-401.
[0197] It can be understood that the first link mechanism 2-30 and the second link mechanism 2-40 can have different structures or the same structure.
[0198] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212 are arranged opposite to each other, the first link mechanism 2-30 and the second link mechanism 2-40 are mirror symmetrical about the middle line of the connecting line between the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212, and the third link mechanism 2-50 and the fourth link mechanism 2-60 are mirror symmetrical about the middle line of the connecting line between the first rail 2-211 and the second rail 2-212.
[0199] The first track 2-211 and the second track 2-212 are arranged oppositely, capable of restricting the handling device 2-10 in the height direction H', reducing the risk of up and down movement of the handling device 2-10 during operation.
[0200] The first connecting rod mechanism 2-30 and the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40 are of the same structure, and the third connecting rod mechanism 2-50 and the fourth connecting rod mechanism 2-60 are of the same structure, capable of simplifying the manufacturing process, and not needing to distinguish the first connecting rod mechanism 2-30 and the second connecting rod mechanism 2-40 during installation, thereby improving the installation efficiency.
[0201] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 32 and FIG. 33, FIG. 32 schematically shows the state that the first connecting track 2-2113 is separated from the first conversion track 2-2112, and FIG. 33 schematically shows the state that the first connecting track 2-2113 is connected with the first conversion track 2-2112. As shown in FIG. 35, the shelf 2-20 comprises a plurality of third upright columns 2-20a arranged at intervals along the first direction X' and the second direction Y', and the third upright columns 2-20a are connected through third cross beams 2-20b. The first shelf track 2-2111 and the second shelf track 2-2121 can be fixed to the upper side of the third cross beam 2-20b on the same side of the two adjacent shelves 2-20, for example, fixed to the outer side of the third cross beam 2-20b, and the first shelf track 2-2111 and the third cross beam 2-20b and the second shelf track 2-2121 and the third cross beam 2-20b can be fixed and connected through screws. The first shelf track 2-2111 and the second shelf track 2-2121 are used for the handling device 2-10 to run and take and place the goods on the shelves 2-20 on both sides of the aisle 2-22, and the handling device 2-10 is arranged on the inner side of the first shelf track 2-2111 and the first conversion track 2-2112, and the second shelf track 2-2121 and the second conversion track 2-2122.
[0202] In the embodiment, the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the second shelf rail 2-2121 are arranged on the adjacent shelves 2-20 and on the same side of the third cross beam 2-20b of the adjacent shelves 2-20, for example, can be arranged on the outer side of the third cross beam 2-20b, wherein the same side refers to the left side or the right side in the second direction Y'. The adjacent shelves 2-20 use the same first shelf rail 2-2111 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, the second shelf rail 2-2121 and the second conversion rail 2-2122, which reduces the number of track settings, so that the spacing between the adjacent shelves 2-20 can be smaller, thereby improving the space utilization. Through the connection and disconnection of the first connecting rail 2-2113 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, and the connection and disconnection of the second connecting rail 2-2123 and the second conversion rail 2-2122, the carrying device 2-10 can enter any aisle 2-22, and the scheduling is more flexible, and the shelves 2-20 on both sides of the aisle 2-22 are used for goods taking and placing. When the business volume is small, the number of carrying devices 2-10 can be saved; when the business volume is large, more robots can be deployed in adjacent aisles 2-22 to improve efficiency and flexibility.
[0203] In the embodiment, the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122 have no connection relationship with the shelves 2-20, so in order to ensure the support strength of the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122, the support frame 2-23 can be used for support, that is, the support frame 2-23 is mainly used for supporting the first conversion rail 2-2112 and the second conversion rail 2-2122.
[0204] In other embodiments, unlike the embodiments of FIGS. 32 and 33, the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the second shelf rail 2-2121 are fixed to the third cross beam 2-20b of the same shelf 2-20, for use by the carrying device 2-10 to run and take and place goods on the shelves 2-20 on both sides of the aisle 2-22, and the carrying device 2-10 is arranged on the outer side of the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, the second shelf rail 2-2121 and the second conversion rail 2-2122.
[0205] The setting positions of the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the second shelf rail 2-2121 in this embodiment are slightly different from those in the previous embodiment, and are not fixed to the outer periphery of the third cross beam 2-20b on the same side of the adjacent shelf 2-20, but are arranged on the same shelf 2-20. Moreover, due to the different setting positions of the shelf rails, the setting position of the carrying device 2-10 is also different from that in the previous embodiment. In the previous embodiment, the carrying device 2-10 is arranged on the outer side of the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, the second shelf rail 2-2121 and the second conversion rail 2-2122, while in this embodiment, the carrying device 2-10 is arranged on the inner side of the first shelf rail 2-2111 and the first conversion rail 2-2112, the second shelf rail 2-2121 and the second conversion rail 2-2122.
