Automated Warehouse Transfer Unit for Direct Object Retrieval

The storage conveyor is divided into multiple independent rows (first row and second row), allowing objects to be stored and retrieved independently from different rows. This segmentation enables parallel operations and eliminates the need to unload objects from one row to access objects in another row, directly improving productivity without significantly increasing overall system complexity

The system transitions from a single-row linear storage configuration to a multi-row two-dimensional storage layout. By adding the row dimension, the system allows access to objects from multiple lateral positions simultaneously, enabling direct retrieval of specific objects without sequential unloading of preceding objects, thus resolving the productivity-complexity contradiction

By dividing the storage system into multiple independent rows, the patent enables different loading and unloading orders for different rows. Objects can be loaded into and unloaded from specific rows based on their destination or priority, allowing flexible order management without requiring sequential unloading of entire conveyor rows, thus reducing time loss while maintaining adaptability

The multiple rows act as intermediaries between loading and unloading operations. Instead of directly accessing objects in a single sequential row, the system uses multiple rows as intermediate storage zones, allowing objects to be routed to appropriate rows during loading and retrieved directly from those rows during unloading, eliminating unnecessary handling time while preserving order flexibility
