In the storage area, 3 or 4 rows of shelves can be arranged closely and aligned with each other to form a shelf group, and an aisle for the storage robot to pass through is reserved between adjacent shelf groups. When the storage robot is to grab the target turnover box on the inner side goods shelf in the goods shelf group, the turnover box on the goods storage position in front of the target turnover box on the outer side goods shelf tightly attached to the inner side goods shelf is taken down and placed on one idle supporting plate, then the manipulator penetrates through the goods storage position to grab the target turnover box, the target turnover box is placed on the other idle supporting plate, and the turnover box on the outer side goods shelf taken down before is put back to the original position. Similarly, when the warehousing robot is to place the target turnover box in the target storage position on the inner side goods shelf in the goods shelf group, the turnover box on the storage position located right in front of the target storage position on the outer side goods shelf tightly attached to the inner side goods shelf is taken down and placed on an idle supporting plate, then the target turnover box is placed in the target storage position by the manipulator, and then the turnover box taken down before on the outer side goods shelf is placed back to the original position.
As shown in fig. 11, in the storage area, 4 rows of shelves are closely attached to each other and aligned to form a shelf group, and the storage robot can grab the turnover boxes on the storage positions of the shelves inside the shelf group.
At present, two rows of goods shelves are tightly attached to each other and placed in a storage area, and 3 or 4 rows of goods shelves are tightly attached to each other and aligned to be placed as a goods shelf group in the storage area of the storage system, so that the utilization rate of the storage area is greatly improved.
The mobile chassis is also provided with a controller and a wireless communication module, and the controller is respectively electrically connected with the mobile chassis, the manipulator, the lifting mechanism, the second camera, the obstacle avoidance sensor, the second driving mechanism and the wireless communication module. The controller is used for controlling the whole warehousing robot to work, and the wireless communication module is used for receiving wireless instructions sent by the management center.
The movable chassis comprises a chassis 38, two walking modules are arranged at the bottom of the chassis 38, each walking module comprises a driving wheel 39 and a walking motor 40 for driving the driving wheel 39 to rotate, and universal wheels 41 are further arranged at four corners of the bottom surface of the chassis 38. The driving wheel is driven by the walking motor to move, so that the moving chassis is controlled to move freely on the ground.
The goods storage device, the manipulator and the lifting mechanism are all located above the movable chassis, so that the space occupied by the storage robot in the moving process is reduced, more goods shelves can be stored more densely in the storage area, and the space utilization rate of the storage area is improved.
