FIG. 1 schematically shows a schematic view of the structure of a container 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 1, a cargo container 100 includes a cabinet 110, at least one storage unit 120, and a control apparatus 160, a scanning apparatus 170, and a display apparatus 180. Wherein each storage unit 120 includes a support frame 130, a partition 140, and a transfer device 150. In applying the cargo container 100, it is possible to store irregular cargo, taller cargo, or longer cargo in the cargo storage unit 120 by detaching the partition plates 140 and the support brackets 130.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cabinet 110 has an interior that may contain a support shelf 130, a partition 140, a conveyor 150, and a control device 160. The scanning device 170 and the display device 180 may be provided on an outer wall of the cabinet 110.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more storage units 120 may be included in the inner cavity of the cabinet 110, and the number of storage units 120 in the inner control may be determined according to the specification of the stored goods. As shown in fig. 1, 4 storage units 120 are included in the inner cavity of the cabinet 110. A plurality of shelves 140 and a plurality of conveyors 150 may be provided in each storage unit 120.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the support 130 may be secured within the internal cavity. Specifically, the supporting frame 130 is detachably disposed on the inner wall of the cabinet 110. For example, the supporting bracket 130 may be fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 110 by using a connector. For another example, the supporting frame 130 has a sliding block or a pulley, the inner wall of the cabinet 110 is provided with a sliding track, and the sliding block or the pulley of the supporting frame 130 can move on the sliding track, so as to draw the supporting frame 130 out of the inner cavity of the cabinet 110.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the dimensions of the cargo may be irregular, for example the shape of the cargo is a pentagon of unequal side lengths, a hexagon of unequal side lengths, a trapezoid, a heptagon of unequal side lengths, or an octagon of unequal side lengths. The specifications of the goods may also be regular, for example, but not limited to, the shape of the goods is square, rectangular, regular pentagon, and the like.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the size of the goods is irregular or the height of the goods exceeds the height of the general storage unit 120, the space for storing the goods may be enlarged by detaching the support bracket 130. For example, one or more support frames 130 may be removed from the inner cavity of the cabinet 110 to combine two or more storage units 120 into a large storage space, which facilitates storage of irregular or more than general storage units 120 into a large storage space.
The storage unit 120 in the container 100 is described in detail below with reference to figures 2 and 3.
As shown in fig. 2, a storage unit 120 may include a support frame 130, a plurality of partitions 140, and a plurality of conveyors 150. The partitions 140 are detachably disposed on the supporting frame 130 at intervals. The plurality of partitions 140 may define a plurality of storage spaces on the supporting frame 130, wherein two adjacent partitions 140 may define one storage space. Each storage space may store different goods, and if the goods have a relatively long length, the storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140 may be enlarged by detaching the partition plates 140, which facilitates the placement of goods having a relatively long length into the enlarged storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the supporting frame 130 may be provided with a plurality of slots, and each partition 140 has a clamping piece, so that the clamping pieces and the slots can be clamped to fix the partitions 140 on the supporting frame 130. For example, if the goods to be stored is a keyboard, the partition plates 140 may be taken out by detaching the card and the card slot to enlarge the storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140, which facilitates the placement of goods having a relatively long length into the enlarged storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140.
Referring to fig. 2, the partition plate 140 may be a partition plate with a plurality of circular holes, which not only saves material, but also saves the weight of the partition plate 140, thereby reducing the supporting force of the supporting frame 130, and effectively preventing the supporting frame 130 from deforming due to too heavy goods, and even falling off from the inner wall of the cabinet. In addition, a plurality of baffles 140 can also be fixed together with the fixing plate 190 through the card and the clamping groove, so that the baffles 140 can be prevented from shaking left and right, and the goods can be effectively prevented from being clamped in a storage space.
Referring to fig. 2, a plurality of conveyors 150 may be disposed on the supporting frame 130. For example, a plurality of conveyors 150 may be disposed on the supporting frame 130 and respectively located in the storage spaces.
Referring to fig. 3, the transfer device 150 may include a transfer belt and a transfer wheel. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of conveyors 150 may be configured such that any two adjacent conveyors 150 may convey goods simultaneously. For example, any two adjacent conveying devices 150 can convey goods synchronously, or two conveying devices 150 can convey goods synchronously, or more than two conveying devices 150 can convey goods synchronously, so that long goods can be conveyed to the goods taking port conveniently.
For example, a relatively long length of goods is placed on the conveyor belts of five conveyors 150, and it is most preferred that five conveyors 150 operate simultaneously to transfer the relatively long length of goods to the pick-up port. Of course, two, three, or four conveyors 150 may be operated simultaneously to transfer longer loads to the pick-up ports. It is even possible that one of the transfer devices 150 is operative to transfer longer lengths of goods to the access opening.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device 160 is provided in the interior of the cabinet 110 and is connected to the plurality of conveyors 150 for controlling one or more conveyors 150 to convey goods. For example, goods are placed on three conveyors 150, and when a user clicks on and purchases the goods on the display device 180, the control device 160 may control one, two, or three conveyors 150 to convey the goods.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the scanning device 170 is connected to the control device 160 for scanning the goods to obtain information (e.g., bar codes of the goods) of the goods.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device 160 may receive the goods information from the scanning device 170 and the number of the conveying device 150 input by the cargo compounder from the display device 180, and then may generate a correspondence relationship between the goods information and the number of the conveying device 150 based on the goods information and the number of the conveying device 150, and further store information configured by the cargo compounder according to the correspondence relationship between the goods information and the number of the conveying device 150, the information including the number of the goods corresponding to the number of the conveying device 150. For example, one cargo may be provided with the number of one or more identical conveyors 150, thereby enabling the control device 160 to control the plurality of conveyors 150 to operate synchronously to convey the cargo stored in the storage space defined by the adjacent partitions 140.

The plurality of partitions 140 may define a plurality of storage spaces on the supporting frame 130, wherein two adjacent partitions 140 may define one storage space. Each storage space may store different goods, and if the goods have a relatively long length, the storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140 may be enlarged by detaching the partition plates 140, which facilitates the placement of goods having a relatively long length into the enlarged storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the supporting frame 130 may be provided with a plurality of slots, and each partition 140 has a clamping piece, so that the clamping pieces and the slots can be clamped to fix the partitions 140 on the supporting frame 130. For example, if the goods to be stored is a keyboard, the partition plates 140 may be taken out by detaching the card and the card slot to enlarge the storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140, which facilitates the placement of goods having a relatively long length into the enlarged storage space defined by the adjacent partition plates 140.
Referring to fig. 2, a plurality of conveyors 150 may be disposed on the supporting frame 130. For example, a plurality of conveyors 150 may be disposed on the supporting frame 130 and respectively located in the storage spaces.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of conveyors 150 may be configured such that any two adjacent conveyors 150 may convey goods simultaneously. For example, any two adjacent conveying devices 150 can convey goods synchronously, or two conveying devices 150 can convey goods synchronously, or more than two conveying devices 150 can convey goods synchronously, so that long goods can be conveyed to the goods taking port conveniently.
For example, a relatively long length of goods is placed on the conveyor belts of five conveyors 150, and it is most preferred that five conveyors 150 operate simultaneously to transfer the relatively long length of goods to the pick-up port. Of course, two, three, or four conveyors 150 may be operated simultaneously to transfer longer loads to the pick-up ports. It is even possible that one of the transfer devices 150 is operative to transfer longer lengths of goods to the access opening.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device 160 is provided in the interior of the cabinet 110 and is connected to the plurality of conveyors 150 for controlling one or more conveyors 150 to convey goods.
