Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an automatic shelf provided in an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a conveying mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the automatic shelf includes: a rack 1, a controller 2 (not shown), a plurality of transport mechanisms 3, and a pushing mechanism 4. For at least one transport mechanism 3 of the plurality of transport mechanisms 3, each transport mechanism 3 of the at least one transport mechanism 3 comprises a plurality of baffle assemblies 31, a conveyor belt structure 32, a plurality of first folding elements 33, and a stop bar 34, the plurality of first folding elements 33 and the plurality of baffle assemblies 31 being in one-to-one correspondence. The conveying belt structure 32 and the pushing mechanism 4 are both installed on the shelf 1, the plurality of partition plate assemblies 31 are installed on the conveying belt structure 32 through corresponding first folding elements 33, the length direction of each partition plate assembly 31 is not parallel to the conveying direction of the corresponding conveying belt structure 32, the conveying direction of the conveying belt structure 32 is perpendicular to the depth direction of the shelf 1, the stop rods 34 are fixed on the conveying belt structure 32, and projections exist on the plurality of partition plate assemblies 31 fixed on the conveying belt structure 32 for applying acting force to the plurality of partition plate assemblies 31 fixed on the conveying belt structure 32 so as to fold the plurality of partition plate assemblies 31. The conveyor belt structure 32 and the pushing mechanism 4 are also electrically connected with the controller 2 respectively, the partition plate assemblies 31 are used for separating the goods on the conveyor belt structure 32, the conveyor belt structure 32 is used for conveying one goods separated by a plurality of partition plate assemblies 31 to the pushing mechanism 4 under the control of the controller 2, and the pushing mechanism 4 is used for pushing the goods to fall under the control of the controller 2.
since the conveyor belt structure 32 and the pushing mechanism 4 are electrically connected to the controller 2, the controller 2 can control the conveyor belt structure 32 to convey the goods to the pushing mechanism 4 based on the order information after receiving the order information, and control the pushing mechanism 4 to push the goods to fall, that is, the automatic shelf has a function of discharging the goods. In addition, because each conveying mechanism 3 is provided with a plurality of partition plate assemblies 31, the partition plate assemblies 31 are used for partitioning the goods on the conveying belt structure 32, so that the pushing mechanism 4 does not affect another goods adjacent to the goods on the conveying belt structure 32 in the process of pushing the goods to fall, and the situation of goods delivery errors is avoided. In addition, since the plurality of baffle assemblies 31 are mounted on the conveyor structure 32 by the corresponding first folding elements 33, and the stop bars 34 are used for applying force to the plurality of baffle assemblies 31 fixed on the conveyor structure 32 to perform folding of the plurality of baffle assemblies 31, it is obvious that more conveying mechanisms 3 can be arranged in case of a certain size of the rack 1 after the baffle assemblies 31 are folded by the first folding elements 33, which plays a role of saving the space of the rack 1.
illustratively, in one scenario, assume that the controller 2 is to ship out a bundle of onions based on the order information. The controller 2 can then control the conveyor structure 32 to convey the onion to the pusher mechanism 4 and control the pusher mechanism 4 to push the onion down. Because the baffle assembly 31 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 3, the green onions are separated from other goods on the conveying mechanism 3 through the baffle assembly 31, and therefore the green onions cannot be influenced in the process of being pushed to fall by the pushing mechanism 4.
As regards the space saving that can be achieved after the diaphragm assembly 31 has been folded by means of the first folding element 33, this will be explained in the following with a possible example.
by way of example, it is assumed that an automatic pallet comprises two transport mechanisms 3, a first transport mechanism and a second transport mechanism, respectively, and that these two transport mechanisms 3 are arranged one above the other, and the first transfer mechanism is located directly above the second transfer mechanism, assuming that the height of the diaphragm assembly 31 is a and the thickness of the diaphragm assembly 31 is B, the height of the diaphragm assembly 31 is normally greater than the thickness of the diaphragm assembly 31, and thus, when the partition board assembly 31 is not foldable, the distance between the bottom surface of the first transfer mechanism and the top surface of the second transfer mechanism is required to be not less than a + a, when the partition plate assembly 31 is folded, the distance between the bottom surface of the first conveyance mechanism and the top surface of the second conveyance mechanism is not less than a + B, obviously, a + B is less than a + a, this thus saves a lot of space, so that more transport mechanisms 3 can be arranged on the pallet 1.
it should be noted that the first folding element 33 may be a butterfly hinge, or may be another element that can enable the partition assembly 31 to have a folding function, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited in this respect. It should be noted that the belt structure 32 may be mounted on the shelf 1 by screws, or may be mounted on the shelf 1 by other methods, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the stop bar 34 may be fixed to the belt structure 32 by screws, or may be fixed to the belt structure 32 by other methods, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
it should be noted that the distance between the baffle assemblies 31 can be freely set according to different goods to be separated, for example, when the goods to be conveyed are scallion, the distance between the baffle assemblies 31 can be 10cm, of course, other distances can also be set according to practical situations, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In addition, the length of the partition board assembly 31 may be the same as the width of the conveyor belt structure 32, and of course, the partition board assembly may be freely arranged according to actual situations, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
it is worth noting that the different conveyor structures 32 described above may be provided with the same goods or with different goods. For example, the automatic shelf includes two conveyor structures 32, and celery can be completely placed on the two conveyor structures 32, or one conveyor structure 32 can be completely placed with onion, and the other conveyor structure 32 can be completely placed with celery, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the same goods or different goods can be placed on the same conveyor belt structure 32. For example, all the onions are placed on the same conveyor belt structure 32, or the onions, celery and the like are placed on the same conveyor belt structure 32, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, each baffle assembly 31 may include a first baffle 311, a second folding element 312, and a second baffle 313. The first partition 311 is fixed on the conveyor belt structure 32 by a first folding element 33, the second partition 313 is fixed on the first partition 311 by a second folding element 312 and is coplanar with the first partition 311, and the stop bar 34 has a projection on the first partition 311 or the second partition 313 for applying a force to the first partition 311 or the second partition 313 to fold the first partition 311 or the second partition 313. In this way, when the barrier 34 projects onto the second partition 313 during the transport of the conveyor structure 32, the second partition 313 can be brought into contact with the barrier 34, and when the conveyor structure 32 transports, the barrier 34 will exert a force on the second partition 313, thereby causing the barrier assembly 31 to fold at the second folding element 312. When there is a projection of the bar 34 on the first partition 311, the partition assembly 31 will be caused to fold at the first folding element 33. It can be seen that the partition board assembly 31 can be folded not only at the second folding element 312 but also at the first folding element 33, and then, it can be determined whether to fold at the first folding element 33 or the second folding element 312 or to fold at both the first folding element 33 and the second folding element 312 according to the scene, so that the functions of the partition board assembly 31 are more flexible and adaptable to more scenes.
in some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a guide rail 41, a motor 42, and a blanking mechanism 43, and the blanking mechanism 43 includes a mounting plate 431, a guide assembly 432, and a telescopic shaft 433. The two guide rails 41 are arranged on the shelf 1 in parallel, the motor 42 is arranged on the shelf 1, the mounting plate 431 is arranged on the guide rails 41, the guide assembly 432 is arranged on the mounting plate 431, the telescopic shaft 433 is arranged on the guide assembly 432, a motor shaft of the motor 42 is mechanically connected with the mounting plate 431, the motor 42 and the guide assembly 432 are both electrically connected with the controller 2, the mounting plate 431 is used for sliding along the guide rails 41 under the action of the motor 42, the guide assembly 432 is used for controlling the telescopic shaft 433 to extend out under the action of the controller, and the telescopic shaft 433 can penetrate between the two guide rails 41 to push the goods to fall and retract after the goods fall.
In this way, when goods on the conveying mechanism 3 are delivered, firstly, the controller 2 can control the blanking mechanism 43 to slide along the guide rail 41 under the action of the motor 42 until reaching the height of the conveying mechanism 3 where the goods are located, then the conveying mechanism 3 can convey the goods to the telescopic shaft 433 under the action of the controller 2, and finally, the guide assembly 432 can control the telescopic shaft 433 to extend out under the action of the controller 2, pass between the two guide rails 41 to push the goods to fall, and retract after the goods fall.
Illustratively, with continued reference to fig. 4, assuming that 5 conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged above and below the shelf 1, the 5 conveying mechanisms 3 are respectively arranged in sequence from top to bottom as the a conveying mechanism, the B conveying mechanism, the C conveying mechanism, the D conveying mechanism and the E conveying mechanism, assuming that the goods in the order information are located on the a conveying mechanism 3, the controller 2 may control the mounting plate 431 to slide along the guide rail 41 under the action of the motor 42 until reaching the height of the conveying mechanism 3 where the goods are located, that is, the height of the a conveying mechanism 3, then the conveying mechanism 3 may convey the goods to the telescopic shaft 433 under the action of the controller 2, and finally the guiding assembly 432 may control the telescopic shaft 433 to extend under the action of the controller 2, push the goods to fall through between the two guide rails 41, and retract after the goods fall. That is, the shipment function of the automatic shelf is completed.
It should be noted that, both the guide rail 41 and the motor 42 may be mounted on the shelf 1 by screws, or may be mounted on the shelf 1 by other manners, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. The mounting plate 431 can be mounted on the guide rail 41 through a sliding block, or can be mounted on the guide rail 41 through other modes, and only the mounting plate 431 needs to slide along the guide rail 41, and the embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the installation. In addition, the motor shaft of the motor 42 can be mechanically connected with the mounting plate 431 through a synchronous belt mechanism, and can also be mechanically connected with the mounting plate 431 through other modes, only the requirement that the motor 42 can enable the mounting plate 431 to slide along the guide rail 41 is met, and the embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the situation. It should be further noted that the motor 42 may be a stepping motor, or may be another type of motor, and only the requirement that the mounting plate 431 can slide along the guide rail 41 is met, and the type of the motor 42 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 5, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a plurality of blanking mechanisms 43, and the plurality of blanking mechanisms 43 correspond to the plurality of conveying mechanisms 3 one to one. The plurality of blanking mechanisms 43 are fixed on the shelf 1, the plurality of blanking mechanisms 43 are electrically connected with the controller 2, and the plurality of blanking mechanisms 43 are used for pushing the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanisms 3 to fall under the control of the controller 2.
Therefore, the goods can be conveyed to the corresponding blanking mechanism 43 by the conveying mechanism 3, and the blanking mechanism 43 can push the goods to fall under the control of the controller 2, so that the time for discharging the goods is greatly shortened. In other words, one blanking mechanism 43 can correspond to one conveying mechanism 3, and one blanking mechanism 43 is specially used for pushing the goods on the corresponding conveying mechanism 3 to fall, so that at the same time, at least two goods can be discharged from the automatic goods shelf, the discharging efficiency can be improved, and the discharging time can be shortened.
it should be noted that one or more blanking mechanisms 43 may be fixed on the shelf 1 by screws, or may be fixed on the shelf 1 by other manners, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
It should be further noted that the blanking mechanism 43 in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 5 may be the same as or different from the blanking mechanism 43 in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 4, and only needs to push the goods to fall, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
The arrangement of the conveying mechanisms 3 is different, the direction of the guide rail 41 and the telescopic direction of the blanking mechanism 43 are also different, and the different arrangement of the conveying mechanisms 3 can be applied to different scenes. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, when the plurality of conveyance mechanisms 3 are arranged one above the other, the guide rail 41 is perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the plurality of conveyance mechanisms 3, and the blanking mechanism 43 is retractable in a direction parallel to the diaphragm assembly 31. Thus, when goods on the conveying mechanism 3 are delivered, the blanking mechanism 43 can slide along the guide rail 41 under the action of the motor 42, and after the goods reach the height of the conveying mechanism 3 where the goods are located, the conveying mechanism 3 can convey the goods to the blanking mechanism 43 under the action of the controller 2, and finally the blanking mechanism 43 can stretch in the direction parallel to the partition plate assembly 31 under the control of the controller 2 to push the goods to fall, that is, the delivery function of the automatic shelf is completed.
It should be noted that the manner in which one or more conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged vertically may be widely applied to a vending machine scenario, and of course, the manner in which one or more conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged vertically may also be applied to other scenarios, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.
in other embodiments, referring to fig. 6, when one or more of the transfer mechanisms 3 are arranged in a first direction, the guide rail 41 is parallel to the transfer direction of the plurality of transfer mechanisms 3, and the blanking mechanism 43 is retractable in a direction parallel to the length of the bulkhead assembly 31, the first direction being parallel to the transfer direction of the plurality of transfer mechanisms 3. Thus, when goods on the conveying mechanism 3 are delivered, the blanking mechanism 43 can slide along the guide rail 41 under the action of the motor 42, and after the goods reach the position, the blanking mechanism 43 extends and retracts in the length direction parallel to the partition plate assembly 31 under the control of the controller 2, so that the goods are pushed to fall, and the delivery function of the automatic shelf is completed.
It should be noted that the manner in which the plurality of conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged along the first direction may be widely applied to a scene with a narrow space, and of course, the manner in which the plurality of conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged along the first direction may also be applied to other scenes according to practical situations, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
in some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, when the plurality of conveyance mechanisms 3 are arranged in the second direction, the guide rail 41 is perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the plurality of conveyance mechanisms 3, the blanking mechanism 43 is stretchable in the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the plurality of conveyance mechanisms 3. Thus, when goods on the conveying mechanism 3 are delivered, the blanking mechanism 43 firstly contracts under the control of the controller 2 and then slides along the guide rail 41 under the action of the motor 42, after the goods reach the position, the blanking mechanism 43 extends out under the control of the controller 2 and simultaneously continues to slide along the guide rail 41 under the action of the motor 42, and at the moment, the goods on the conveying mechanism 3 can be pushed to fall, and the delivery function of the automatic shelf is completed.
It should be noted that the blanking mechanism 43 is first contracted under the control of the controller 2, mainly to prevent the blanking mechanism 43 from pushing other irrelevant goods to fall down when sliding along the guide rail 41, which may cause a delivery error.
It should be noted that the manner in which the plurality of conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged along the second direction may be widely applied to a scene with a wide space, and of course, the manner in which the plurality of conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged along the second direction may also be applied to other scenes according to practical situations, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the length direction of each baffle assembly 31 may be perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor mechanism 3. Therefore, the goods on the conveying mechanism 3 can be pushed by the pushing mechanism 4 to fall more smoothly.
In some embodiments, the automatic shelf may further include a robot arm provided at a side of the shelf where the goods fall, the robot arm being used to collect the goods dropped by the pushing mechanism 4. Like this, in some scenes, because the arm can catch the goods that push mechanism 4 promoted the whereabouts, consequently, can avoid the direct whereabouts of goods to make the goods to be fallen into the injury through setting up the arm. In other scenes, through setting up the arm, can also promote the goods of whereabouts with push mechanism 4 and collect, place in a specific position, play the effect of accomodating the goods.
In some embodiments, when the weight of the goods on the same conveyor belt structure is the same, the controller is configured to:
and receiving a shipment request, wherein the shipment request carries weight information of the target cargo.
And determining the moving distance of the guide assembly moving along the two guide rails according to the weight information of the target cargo and the current position of the guide assembly.
And sending a control signal carrying the moving distance to the motor so as to control the guide assembly to move.
when the guide assembly stops moving, a pushing signal is sent to the guide assembly to control the telescopic shaft to extend out and push the target cargo to fall down.
A retraction signal is sent to the guide assembly to control retraction of the telescoping shaft.
in some embodiments, the user may input a shipment request to the controller through the input device, the shipment request including weight information of the target shipment, and accordingly, the controller may receive the shipment request input by the user. The target goods refer to goods required by the user. For example, in one vending scenario, the target item is the item that the user is to purchase.
