DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the preferred embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings to further specifically describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, identical or similar reference numerals refer to identical or similar components throughout. The described embodiments are part of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort fall within the scope of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0037] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless specifically defined and limited, the terms "mount", "connect", "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and can be used interchangeably. For example, "connection" can be direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; can be fixed connection or sliding connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the drawings, and are only used to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0039] The terms "first", "second", "third" in the specification and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0040] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or display including a series of steps or modules, and is not limited to those clearly listed, but can include other steps or modules not clearly listed or inherent to the process, method, product or display.

[0041] At present, the workstation usually protects the operator by setting a physical enclosure between the operator and the logistics carrying device, and the physical enclosure is provided with an operation window. When the logistics carrying device runs to the operation window, the operator contacts the logistics carrying device to take or put goods from or into the logistics carrying device.

[0042] However, the existing logistics carrying device is prone to out-of-control impact on the physical enclosure when running, and the safety of the workstation is low.

[0043] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the present application provides a workstation and a warehouse system, the workstation is provided with an enclosure base body and a supervision assembly. During the movement of the logistics carrying device, when the logistics carrying device located in the detection section approaches the enclosure base body and the operation window, the controller of the supervision assembly supervises the logistics carrying device. If the logistics carrying device is out of control or overspeed, the controller of the supervision assembly can independently control the brake of the logistics carrying device, thereby improving the stability of the control of the logistics carrying device to avoid the logistics carrying device out of control and impact on the enclosure base body. Therefore, by setting the supervision assembly, the controller of the supervision assembly and the scheduling system in the warehouse system form a double protection. The operation window is opened on the enclosure base body and located above the storage box of the logistics carrying device. Therefore, when the logistics carrying device normally moves or overspeeds to the operation window, the logistics carrying device can be blocked by the height of the operation window, without worrying about the logistics carrying device hurting the operator, and without affecting the operator to take or put goods in the storage box of the logistics carrying device through the operation window.

[0044] The content of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly and detailedly understand the content of the present application.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, the present application provides a workstation, which includes a workstation body, an enclosure base body 100 and a supervision assembly. The enclosure base body 100 is arranged in the workstation body, which divides the workstation body into a walking area 101 and an operation area 102. The walking area 101 is used for the logistics carrying device 500 to walk, and the operation area 102 is used for accommodating the operator 600. The enclosure base body 100 is provided with an operation window 110, and the operation window 110 is located above the storage box 510 on the logistics carrying device 500, so that the operator 600 can take or put goods in the storage box 510 through the operation window 110.

[0046] The supervision assembly includes a first detection piece 300 and a controller. The first detection piece 300 is arranged on a detection section 1011 in the walking area 101, and the detection section 1011 corresponds to the operation window 110. The first detection piece 300 is in communication connection with the controller, and the controller is used for communication connection with the logistics carrying device 500.

[0047] The first detection member 300 is configured to detect the identity information of the logistics handling device 500 entering the detection section 1011, and the controller is configured to control the logistics handling device 500 to brake when the speed of the logistics handling device 500 entering the detection section 1011 is greater than or equal to the first preset speed.

[0048] The enclosure base 100 is arranged in the work area body to divide the work area body into a walking area 101 and an operation area 102. The walking area 101 is configured to allow the logistics handling device 500 to walk, so that the logistics handling device 500 carries the storage box 510 in the walking area 101. The operation area 102 is configured to allow the operator 600 to operate.

[0049] The operation window 110 is arranged on the enclosure base 100. When the logistics handling device 500 moves to the operation window 110, the operator 600 can take or place the storage box 510 from the logistics handling device 500 through the operation window 110 without entering the walking area 101. The operation window 110 is higher than the storage box 510 of the logistics handling device 500. For example, the height of the lower edge 111 of the operation window 110 is about one meter, which is usually below the armpit of the operator 600. Therefore, when the operator 600 takes or places the goods in the storage box 510, the operator 600 can only touch the storage box 510, and it is inconvenient to touch the logistics handling device 500 due to the height limitation of the operation window 110, thereby avoiding the operator 600 from contacting the logistics handling device 500 and ensuring the safety of the operator 600. In order to further ensure the safety of the operator 600, the part of the logistics handling device 500 that can be touched by the operator 600 is not provided with a sharp structure. In this way, even if the logistics handling device 500 collides with the enclosure base 100 or the operator 600, it is difficult to cause substantial harm to the operator 600.

[0050] The monitoring assembly comprises a first detection member 300 and a controller, the controller is in communication connection with the logistics handling device 500, the first detection member 300 is arranged in the detection section 1011 corresponding to the operation window 110 in the walking area 101, so that the monitoring assembly determines the identity information of each logistics handling device 500 in the current detection section 1011 through the first detection member 300, and feeds back the identity information of the logistics handling device 500 in the detected detection section 1011 to the controller, so that the controller is in communication connection with the logistics handling device 500 corresponding to the identity information, and the moving speed of the logistics handling device 500 is monitored in real time. When the moving speed of a certain logistics handling device 500 in the detection section 1011 is greater than the first preset speed, the controller can control the brake of the corresponding overspeed logistics handling device 500 according to the obtained identity information, so that the speed of the logistics handling device 500 is rapidly reduced by controlling the brake of the logistics handling device 500, so that the logistics handling device 500 can maintain a suitable speed after starting to move again, and the possibility of overspeed and out of control of the logistics handling device 500 and collision with the enclosing base 100 is reduced. Even if the logistics handling device 500 is out of control and collides with the enclosing base 100, the logistics handling device 500 will not collide with the operator 600 because the operation window 110 is higher than the storage box 510 of the logistics handling device 500, so the safety is ensured.

[0051] Therefore, the workstation provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with an enclosing base 100 and a monitoring assembly. During the movement of the logistics handling device 500, when the logistics handling device 500 approaches the enclosing base 100 and the operation window 110 in the detection section 1011, the controller of the monitoring assembly monitors the logistics handling device 500. If the logistics handling device 500 is out of control or overspeed, the controller of the monitoring assembly can independently control the brake of the logistics handling device 500, which improves the stability of the logistics handling device 500 and avoids the collision of the logistics handling device 500 with the enclosing base. Therefore, by providing the monitoring assembly, the controller of the monitoring assembly and the scheduling system in the warehouse system form a double guarantee. The operation window is arranged on the enclosing base, and the operation window is located above the storage box of the logistics handling device 500. Therefore, when the logistics handling device 500 moves normally or overspeeds to the operation window, the logistics handling device 500 can be blocked by the height of the operation window, and the operator will not be injured by the logistics handling device 500, and the operator can take or place articles in the storage box of the logistics handling device 500 through the operation window without affecting the operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1-4, the enclosing base 100 comprises a guide section 120 for guiding the logistics handling device 500 to the operation window 110.

[0053] It can be understood that by setting the guide section 120, the guide effect can be achieved when the logistics handling device 500 moves to the operation window 110, so that the logistics handling device 500 can stably move to the operation window 110, and the moving route of the logistics handling device 500 is prevented from deviating and moving away from the operation window 110, so that the operator 600 can easily take and place the articles in the storage box 510 on the logistics handling device 500 through the operation window 110.

[0054] In specific implementation, referring to FIGS. 1-4, the guide section 120 includes an arc-shaped section 122 and a first enclosing section 121 connected with the arc-shaped section 122, and at least part of the operation window 110 is located on the arc-shaped section 122. The first enclosing section 121 and the arc-shaped section 122 are used to guide the logistics handling device 500 to the operation window 110 in sequence.

[0055] It can be understood that the first enclosing section 121 is located on one side of the arc-shaped section 122 and extends away from the first enclosing section 121 to divide the workstation body into the walking area 101 and the operation area 102.

[0056] The arc-shaped section 122 is connected with the first enclosing section 121, and the side edge of the arc-shaped section 122 and the edge of the first enclosing section 121 are smoothly transitioned, so that when the logistics handling device 500 moves to contact the first enclosing section 121, the logistics handling device 500 can be stably guided to the arc-shaped section 122 through the first enclosing section 121, and the logistics handling device 500 is not blocked by the step surface or other structures between the first enclosing section 121 and the arc-shaped section 122.

[0057] At least part of the operation window 110 is arranged on the arc-shaped section 122, and after the logistics handling device 500 moves to the arc-shaped section 122, the logistics handling device 500 can move to the operation window 110 under the guidance of the arc-shaped section 122, so that the operator 600 can take and place the articles in the storage box 510 on the logistics handling device 500 from the operation window 110.

[0058] Arranging at least part of the operation window 110 on the arc-shaped section 122 can make the operation window 110 have an arc-shaped structure, so that the operation window 110 forms an arc-shaped operable range, the operation space is larger, and the operator 600 can easily take and place the articles in the storage box 510.

[0059] In addition, referring to FIG. 4, the center of the arc-shaped section 122 is located in the walking area 101. Arranging the center of the arc-shaped section 122 in the walking area 101, i.e., arranging the arc-shaped section 122 to curve toward the walking area 101 side, can facilitate the arc-shaped section 122 to guide the logistics handling device 500 and provide the logistics handling device 500 with a centripetal force when the logistics handling device 500 moves along the arc-shaped section 122, so that the guiding effect of the arc-shaped section 122 on the logistics handling device 500 is more stable and reliable.

[0060] In other embodiments, the center of the arc-shaped segment 122 can also be arranged in the operation area 102 according to the arrangement requirement of the workstation body, which is not limited in the application.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the workstation provided by the embodiments of the application further comprises a blocking piece 200 arranged on the side of the enclosure base 100 facing the walking area 101. In this way, when the logistics carrying device 500 moves along the enclosure base 100, the logistics carrying device 500 can be in contact with the blocking piece 200, so as to ensure that the structure of the enclosure base 100 is not damaged by knocking.

[0062] In the embodiment, the blocking piece 200 is arranged at the bottom of the enclosure base 100. It can be understood that, when the blocking piece 200 is in contact with the logistics carrying device 500, the blocking piece 200 can be in contact with the bottom of the logistics carrying device 500, so as to lower the center of gravity of the enclosure base 100 and improve the stability. Even if the logistics carrying device 500 collides with the blocking piece 200, the possibility of damage and collapse of the enclosure base 100 can be reduced.

[0063] In the specific implementation, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the blocking piece 200 comprises a first blocking segment 210 and a second blocking segment 220 connected in sequence, and the first blocking segment 210 and the second blocking segment 220 are arranged correspondingly to the enclosure base 100.

[0064] In the embodiment, the first blocking segment 210 is arranged correspondingly to the first enclosure segment 121 of the enclosure base 100, and the second blocking segment 220 is arranged correspondingly to the arc-shaped segment 122 of the enclosure base 100. The first blocking segment 210 and the second blocking segment 220 are connected to each other to form a continuous blocking structure, thereby providing a continuous blocking and guiding effect for the logistics carrying device 500.

[0065] In addition, the workstation provided by the embodiments of the application further comprises at least one buffer arranged on the side of the blocking piece 200 away from the enclosure base 100. By arranging the buffer on the side of the blocking piece 200 away from the enclosure base 100, when the logistics carrying device 500 is in contact with the blocking piece 200, the logistics carrying device 500 can first be in contact with the buffer, so as to slow down the collision speed of the logistics carrying device 500 through the buffer, reduce the impact force, ensure the structural safety of the logistics carrying device 500, and ensure the structural stability of the enclosure base 100.

[0066] For example, the buffer can be a rubber block, a spring block, a sponge pad, a foam pad or the like arranged on the side of the blocking piece 200 away from the enclosure base 100.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1-4, the enclosure base 100 further comprises a second enclosure section 130, which is connected with the arc-shaped section 122, and the arc-shaped section 122 is located between the first enclosure section 121 and the second enclosure section 130. The partial operation window 110 is located on the second enclosure section 130.

[0068] It can be understood that, by arranging the second enclosure section 130 on the side of the arc-shaped section 122 away from the first enclosure section 121, and extending the second enclosure section 130 to the other side of the arc-shaped section 122 to further divide the workstation body into the walking area 101 and the operation area 102, the boundaries of the walking area 101 and the operation area 102 can be more distinct, and the partition of the workstation body can be more simple, facilitating the orderly operation of the storage box 510.

[0069] By arranging the partial operation window 110 on the second enclosure section 130, the range of the operation window 110 can be further expanded, so as to improve the operation space of the operator 600.

[0070] In addition, the second blocking section 220 can be further extended to correspond to the second enclosure section 130, so as to increase the blocking range of the blocking member 200, and ensure that the blocking effect of the blocking member 200 on the enclosure base 100 is stable and reliable.

[0071] Specifically, the second enclosure section 130 is parallel to the first enclosure section 121. It can be understood that, by arranging the second enclosure section 130 parallel to the first enclosure section 121, the area ratio of the walking area 101 and the operation area 102 can be adjusted, so as to make the arrangement of the enclosure base 100 more simple.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, an included angle can be arranged between the second enclosure section 130 and the first enclosure section 121, and the size of the included angle can be set according to the specific area division of the workstation body, which is not limited in the present application.

[0073] The first detection member 300 is a visual camera, a two-dimensional code camera, or a wireless radio frequency identification member, and the first preset speed and the second preset speed can be speed thresholds set according to the experience of workers in the field, for example, the first preset speed can be 10 m / s, and the second preset speed can be 15 m / s, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0074] It can be understood that, by arranging the first detection member 300 as a visual camera, a two-dimensional code camera, or a wireless radio frequency identification member, etc., the identification accuracy of the logistics handling device 500 is higher, and the identification is faster. Correspondingly, an identity chip or an identity card can be arranged on the logistics handling device 500, so as to be identified by the first detection member 300.

[0075] The embodiments of the present application also provide a warehouse system, referring to FIGS. 1-5, comprising the workstation and at least one logistics handling device 500 in the workstation according to any of the above embodiments.

[0076] The workstation has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the warehouse system further comprises a scheduling system, which is in communication connection with the logistics handling device 500, so as to control the logistics handling device 500 to slow down when the speed of the logistics handling device 500 is greater than a second preset speed when approaching the workstation and outside the detection section 1011 of the workstation. The second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed.

[0078] It can be understood that the first detection member 300 can identify the identity information of the logistics handling device 500 located in the detection section 1011. Correspondingly, the scheduling system is in communication connection with the logistics handling device 500, determines the position of each logistics handling device 500, and preliminarily controls the speed of the logistics handling device 500 when the logistics handling device 500 approaches the workstation and has not yet entered the detection section 101, so as to further improve the reliability of the speed control of the logistics handling device 500 by the warehouse system and provide stable protection.

[0079] When the speed of the logistics handling device 500 located near the workstation body, whose destination is the workstation body, and has not yet arrived at the detection section 1011 is greater than the second preset speed, the scheduling system can control the logistics handling device 500 to slow down and move into the detection section 1011 at a lower speed. After the logistics handling device 500 enters the detection section 1011, the controller and the scheduling system supervise the logistics handling device 500 at the same time. At this time, the speed of the logistics handling device 500 is less than or equal to the second preset speed. If the speed of the logistics handling device 500 is greater than the first preset speed, the logistics handling device 500 will be controlled by the controller to brake, so as to control the speed of the logistics handling device 500 to be below the first preset speed, and make the logistics handling device 500 move smoothly to the operation window 110 at a moving speed less than the first preset speed.

[0080] The warehouse system provided by the embodiments of the present application sets the workstation, and the workstation is provided with the enclosing base body 100 and the supervision assembly. During the movement of the logistics carrying device 500, when the logistics carrying device 500 approaches the enclosing base body 100 and the operation window 110 in the detection section 1011, the controller of the supervision assembly supervises the logistics carrying device 500. If the logistics carrying device 500 is out of control or overspeeds, the controller of the supervision assembly can independently control the brake of the logistics carrying device 500, thereby improving the stability of the control of the logistics carrying device 500, so as to avoid the logistics carrying device 500 from colliding with the enclosing base body 100 when out of control. In this way, by setting the supervision assembly, the controller of the supervision assembly and the scheduling system in the warehouse system form double protection. The operation window 110 on the enclosing base body 100 is located above the storage box 510 of the logistics carrying device 500. In this way, when the logistics carrying device 500 normally moves or overspeeds to the operation window 110, the logistics carrying device 500 can be blocked by the height of the operation window 110, without worrying about the logistics carrying device 500 from hurting the operator, and without affecting the operator to take or place the articles in the storage box of the logistics carrying device 500 through the operation window.

[0081] In some embodiments, the warehouse system provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a second detection member, which is arranged on the logistics carrying device 500 to detect the speed of the logistics carrying device 500, and is in communication connection with the controller in the workstation supervision assembly.

[0082] By arranging the second detection member on the logistics carrying device 500, the moving speed of the logistics carrying device 500 can be detected by the second detection member. The second detection member detects the moving speed of the logistics carrying device 500 in real time, and feeds back the detected moving speed signal to the controller of the supervision assembly and the scheduling system, so that the controller controls the brake of the logistics carrying device 500 when the speed of the logistics carrying device 500 in the detection section 1011 is greater than the first preset speed, or the scheduling system controls the logistics carrying device 500 to slow down when the speed of the logistics carrying device 500 outside the detection section 1011 is greater than the second preset speed.

[0083] Specifically, the second detection member can be a double encoder arranged at the motor of the logistics carrying device 500, which detects the rotating speed of the motor to determine the moving speed of the logistics carrying device 500.

[0084] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, the warehouse system provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a touch edge assembly 400 arranged on the logistics handling device 500, and when the touch edge assembly 400 contacts the enclosing base 100 of the work station, the controller in the work station supervision assembly controls the brake of the logistics handling device 500. It can be understood that by arranging the touch edge assembly 400 on the logistics handling device 500, when the touch edge assembly 400 contacts the blocking piece 200 of the enclosing base 100, the controller controls the brake of the logistics handling device 500, which can avoid continuous friction of the logistics handling device 500 against the blocking piece 200, and reduce the possibility of damage to the logistics handling device 500.

[0085] In specific implementation, referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, the touch edge assembly 400 comprises a touch edge piece 410 arranged on the logistics handling device 500 and at least one third detection piece 420 arranged on the touch edge piece 410, and the third detection piece 420 is in communication connection with the controller in the work station supervision assembly, and the controller controls the brake of the logistics handling device 500 when the third detection piece 420 contacts the enclosing base 100.

[0086] The touch edge piece 410 is arranged on the logistics handling device 500, so that the logistics handling device 500 contacts the blocking piece 200 through the touch edge piece 410, avoiding direct collision of the logistics handling device 500 against the blocking piece 200, and ensuring the structural stability of the logistics handling device 500.

[0087] The third detection piece 420 is arranged on the touch edge piece 410, which can notify the controller when the touch edge piece 410 contacts the blocking piece 200, so as to control the brake of the logistics handling device 500. The touch edge piece 410 can be arranged as an elastic edge, and the third detection piece 420 can be arranged as a pressure sensor or a deformation sensor, and when the third detection piece 420 detects an increase in the pressure of the elastic edge or detects local deformation of the elastic edge, it can be determined that the touch edge piece 410 contacts the blocking piece 200.

[0088] In addition, referring to FIG. 5, the logistics handling device 500 comprises a moving chassis 520 and a connecting assembly arranged on the moving chassis 520, the connecting assembly can be connected with the storage box 510, the touch edge piece 410 is arranged on the moving chassis 520, and the projection of the storage box 510 towards the moving chassis 520 is located on the side of the touch edge piece 410 towards the moving chassis 520.

[0089] It can be understood that the touch edge 410 is arranged on one side of the moving chassis 520 facing the advancing direction of the logistics handling device 500, and the projection of the storage box 510 towards the moving chassis 520 is located on the side away from the advancing direction of the logistics handling device 500, so that when the touch edge 410 contacts the blocking piece 200, it can ensure that the storage box 510 on the logistics handling device 500 does not contact the enclosure base 100, thereby ensuring that the storage box 510 on the logistics handling device 500 will not fall or deviate due to collision.

[0090] In addition, the touch edge 410 is located at the bottom of the outer circumferential surface of the moving chassis 520. By arranging the touch edge 410 at the bottom of the moving chassis 520, the touch edge 410 can more accurately collide with the blocking piece 200, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the contact between the touch edge 410 and the blocking piece 200.

[0091] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
