With the development of the logistics industry, higher requirements are put forward on storage structures and storage equipment. For goods with different weights and sizes, a targeted structural design is needed so as to obtain better space utilization rate and work efficiency. Meanwhile, for the transformation of an old warehouse, due to the influence of buildings, the existing common vertical warehouse is difficult to adapt, so that a design with site universality is urgently needed.
The vertical warehousing system which is common at present basically comprises goods shelves, containers, a stacker, a conveyor and other equipment. Goods are taken and placed by the stacker from the side face of the goods shelf, so that a running channel of the stacker needs to be reserved between every two groups of goods shelves, and a large amount of space is wasted.
From the aspect of site adaptability, one vertical warehouse is high in mechanical investment cost, and in order to ensure sufficient cost performance, the vertical warehouse is generally required to be built to be high, so that restriction requirements are imposed on use places. Secondly, the high-rise structure needs the foundation to be firm, so this kind of goods shelves are usually permanent or semi-permanent building, once construction, it is difficult to remove the reconstruction. Thirdly, to the old warehouse that has the support column in the place, traditional stereoscopic warehouse can't bypass the stand.
In view of the above problems, a new solution is proposed in the prior art, in which containers are stacked one by one, and the top of the container is taken and placed by several robots (similar to a stacking operation). The scheme well solves the problem of site adaptability and simultaneously obtains extremely high space utilization rate. However, the control requirement of the prior art for the goods-taking robot is too high, and particularly in a large warehouse, the difficulty is exponentially increased along with the number of the robots. Meanwhile, each robot is designed to be the same, and although the advantage of improving the flexibility of the system can be obtained, the problems that each robot is a full-function player, the cost is too high, and the single body efficiency is low are brought.
