Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 8 to 11, the operation principle and operation steps of the three-dimensional conveying device will be described in detail below, and in the following description, the three-dimensional conveying device is taken as an example to convey two articles 9 with different specifications at the same time, the independent plane section 12 adjacent to the front plane section 11 processes the article 9 with one specification, and the other two independent plane sections 12 process the article 9 with the other specification. In order to clearly illustrate the correspondence relationship between the articles 9 and the independent planar segments 12, in fig. 10, fig. 11 and the following description, when it is required to particularly distinguish the independent planar segments 12 from the articles 9, the independent planar segments 12 are illustrated by reference numerals 121, 122 and 123 in order from the adjacent front planar segment 11 toward the direction away from the front planar segment 11, each article 9 corresponding to the independent planar segment 121 is illustrated by drawing a solid line and by a reference numeral 91, and each article 9 corresponding to the independent planar segment 122 and the independent planar segment 123 is illustrated by drawing an imaginary line and by a reference numeral 92.
Referring to fig. 2, 8 and 10, first, the stereoscopic conveying device includes the following steps when the stereoscopic conveying device is loaded:
step S1-1: the user must first move the articles 9 sequentially to the front plane 11. Step S1-2: the sensor 612 of the stop module 61 disposed on the front plane segment 11 detects that one of the articles 9 reaches a predetermined position, and transmits the signal to the control unit 8. Step S1-3: the control unit 8 controls the stop member 611 to move to the stop position, so that the article 9 temporarily stays at the front plane section 11. Step S1-4: the front input module 71 detects the goods input information of the goods 9 and transmits the goods input information to the control unit 8. Step S1-5: the control unit 8 determines which independent plane section 12 the article 9 should be input into according to the loading information, and controls the corresponding stopping module 61, the front lifting module 31, the front elevated section 212, the corresponding front conveying module 41 and the corresponding loading lifting module 32 to move the article 9 to the corresponding independent plane section 12.
For example, when an article 91 is input into the front plane section 11, the sensor 612 of the stop module 61 disposed on the front plane section 11 detects the article 91 and sends the signal to the control unit 8, the control unit 8 can control the stop 611 to move to the stop position, so that the article 91 is temporarily stopped at the front plane section 11, the front input module 71 detects the goods entering information of the article 9 and transmits the goods entering information to the control unit 8, and the control unit 8 determines that the article 91 should be input into the independent plane section 121, so as to control the front lifting module 31 to move to the plane position, and control the stop module 61 disposed on the front plane section 11 to move to the non-stop position, so that the article 91 can move to the front lifting module 31. Then, the control unit 8 controls the front lifting module 31 to move to the elevated position, and simultaneously controls the stop module 61 disposed on the front plane section 11 to move to the stop position to prevent the next article 91 from moving to the front lifting module 31 and affecting the movement of the front lifting module 31.
After the front lifting module 31 moves to the elevated position, the control unit 8 first controls the front transfer module 41 corresponding to the front plane segment 11 to switch the diverting portion 412 to the first state so that the article 91 is conveyed from the front lifting module 31 to the diverting portion 412, and then the control unit 8 controls the diverting portion 412 to switch to the second state so that the article 91 is conveyed from the diverting portion 412 to the downstream front conveying portion 214.
Then, when the article 91 is moved from the front conveying portion 214 to the front engaging portion 213 corresponding to the independent plane segment 121, the control unit 8 operates the front conveying module 41 and the loading lift module 32 corresponding to the independent plane segment 121 again, and controls the diverting portion 412 to be switched from the second state to the first state, and the loading lift module 32 to be moved from the elevated position to the plane position, so that the article 91 can be conveyed to the independent plane segment 121.
After an article 92 is input into the front plane section 11, the control unit 8 can transport the article 92 to the front transport portion 214 between the independent plane section 121 and the independent plane section 122 according to steps and principles similar to those described above, and control the corresponding front transport module 41 and the corresponding goods entering lifting module 32 to transport the article 92 to one of the independent plane section 122 and the independent plane section 123 according to the operation requirements of the independent plane section 122 and the independent plane section 123, and the steps and principles of control are also similar to those described above for transporting the article 91 to the independent plane section 121, and are not repeated.
Referring to fig. 2, 3, 9 and 11, the three-dimensional conveying device includes the following steps S2-1 to S2-4 when shipping.
Step S2-1: when an object 9 moves to one of the independent planes 12, the sensor 612 disposed on the independent plane 12 can transmit the signal to the control unit 8 when detecting that the object 9 reaches a predetermined position. Step S2-2: the control unit 8 controls the stopper 611 disposed on the independent plane segment 12 to move to the stopping position, so that the article 9 temporarily stays on the independent plane segment 12. Step S2-3: the rear input module 72 disposed on the independent plane section 12 detects the shipment information of the article 9 and transmits the shipment information to the control unit 8. Step S2-4: the control unit 8 schedules the delivery information and controls the corresponding delivery lifting module 33, the corresponding rear transfer module 43, the main transfer module 42, the rear elevated section 222 and the rear lifting module 34 according to the scheduling result, so that the articles 9 can be moved to the rear lifting module 34 and to the height of the delivery position in sequence according to the predetermined schedule.
For example, when one article 91 and two articles 92 respectively move to the positions corresponding to the rear input modules 72 of the independent plane sections 121, 122 and 123, the sensors 612 of the stop modules 61 respectively disposed on the independent plane sections 121, 122 and 123 can respectively detect the article 91 and the article 92 and respectively send signals to the control unit 8, and the control unit 8 controls the stop 611 to move to the stop position, so that the article 91 and the article 92 temporarily respectively stop at the independent plane sections 121, 122 and 123. After the rear input module 72 detects shipment information of the articles 91 and 92 respectively and transmits the shipment information to the control unit 8, the control unit 8 determines the conveying sequence of the articles 91 and 92.
Then, the control unit 8 transports the articles 91 and 92 to the rear lift module 34 according to the scheduled transport sequence. The conveying process of the article 91 is described in detail below, and the conveying process and principle of the article 92 are similar to those of the article 91, and are not described again.
When the article 91 is to be transported to the rear lifting module 34, the control unit 8 firstly controls the stop module 61 located at the independent plane section 121 to move to the unblocked position to transport the article 91 to the corresponding shipment lifting module 33, and then the control unit 8 controls the corresponding shipment lifting module 33 to move to the elevated position and simultaneously controls the stop module 61 located at the independent plane section 121 to move to the stop position to prevent the next article 91 from moving to the corresponding shipment lifting module 33.
After the corresponding shipment lifting module 33 moves to the elevated position, the control unit 8 first controls the rear transfer module 43 corresponding to the independent plane segment 121 to switch the diverting section 432 to the first state for the article 91 to be transferred from the shipment lifting module 33 to the diverting section 432, and then the control unit 8 controls the diverting section 432 to switch to the second state and transfer the article 91 from the diverting section 432 to the downstream rear transfer section 224.
Then, the control unit 8 controls the guide portion 421 of the main transfer module 42 to be switched to the guide state to transport the article 91 to the guide portion 421, and then the control unit 8 operates again to switch the guide portion 421 to the transport state, so that the article 91 can be transported to the rear lift module 34 via the delivery portion 225. Finally, the control unit 8 controls the rear lifting module 34 to move from the receiving position to the delivery position, so that the article 91 can be moved to the height of the delivery position for taking out.
Referring to fig. 2, 10 and 11, through the above steps, the articles 91 and 92 located in the front plane section 11 can be respectively conveyed to the independent plane section 12 for processing, and can be conveyed to the rear lifting module 34 after processing and located at the height of the shipment location.
Because independent plane section 12 can utilize jointly preceding plane section 11 reaches preceding elevated section 212 is gone into goods, and utilizes jointly back elevated section 222 with back lift module 34 goes out goods, just preceding elevated section 212 reaches back elevated section 222 is located plane conveying unit 1 top, consequently can reduce the factory floor area that three-dimensional conveyor occupied is used, when using the commodity (not shown) that need use the fork lift (not shown) to carry moreover, the fork lift also only need be adjacent to preceding plane section 11 with the position of back lift module 34 removes, consequently also can reduce the demand to factory floor area and promote the operation security.
In addition, since the passage 100 (see fig. 5) defined between the two adjacent independent planar sections 12 and the front elevated section 212 is accessible to the user, the user can move to the independent planar section 12 by using the passage 100 to perform the processing operation without being blocked by the front elevated section 212, and thus the overall conveying operation is not affected.
In addition, by arranging the front input unit 7, the goods entering information can be transmitted to the control unit 8, so that the control unit 8 can operate the corresponding components to convey the goods 9 to the corresponding independent plane sections 12, and the three-dimensional conveying device can convey goods with different specifications for processing at the same time.
In addition, referring to fig. 12, in another variation, the stereoscopic conveying device further includes a prompt unit 81 capable of displaying a prompt message, and the stopping unit 6 further includes another stopping module 61. The other stop module 61 is disposed at the rear conveying portion 224 located downstream of the independent plane section 121 and adjacent to the main transfer module 42. The control unit 8 (not shown in fig. 12) when scheduling according to the shipment information, delivers the articles 91 to the rear delivery part 224 located downstream of the individual plane sections 121, and controls the other stop module 61 to move to the stop position, and after the next article 91 and the next article 91 are conveyed to the rear conveying part 224 located at the downstream of the independent plane section 121, and then controls the other stop module 61 to move to the unblocked position to convey the article 91, the next article 91 and the next article 91 downstream, and simultaneously sends the prompting message (e.g., flashing light, warning sound, etc.) through the prompting unit 81 to remind a user at the rear lifting module 34 that the article 91 is about to be output, the next article 91, and the next article 91. Thus, the three-dimensional conveying device can conveniently distinguish the output articles 9 into the articles 91 and the articles 92.
