In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, a first channel 121 and a second channel 122 are sequentially disposed in the robot docking space 120 of a first shelf 100A in the adjacent shelf 100 along the direction close to the roadway 130, and a third channel 123 and a fourth channel 124 are sequentially disposed in the robot docking space 120 of a second shelf 100B in the adjacent shelf 100 along the direction close to the roadway 130.
The first channel 121, the second channel 122, the third channel 123, and the fourth channel 124 are all parallel to the lane 130 and extend to the outside of the pallet 100.
The transfer robot 300 is capable of carrying the bin 400 for arbitrary movement in the first, second, third and fourth lanes 121, 122, 123, 124 and the lane 130.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the first, second, third, fourth, and lane 121, 122, 123, 124, and 130 may extend to a workstation 500 outside the pallet 100, and the transfer robot 300 travels along the first, second, third, fourth, and lane 121, 122, 123, 124, and 130, transfers the bin 400 between the pallet 100 and the workstation 500 to put the bin 400 in or out of the warehouse.
The first channel 121, the second channel 122, the third channel 123, the fourth channel 124, and the roadway 130 are bi-directional channels for the transfer robot 300 to travel. The number of the transfer robots 300 may be plural, and when the transfer robot 300 travels in any one of the first lane 121, the second lane 122, the third lane 123, the fourth lane 124, or the lane 130, if there are other transfer robots 300 on the forward path, the transfer robot 300 may move to the lanes on both sides of the current lane to avoid. When the transfer robot 300 travels on the first lane 121, the second lane 122, the third lane 123, or the fourth lane 124, it is possible to improve the transfer efficiency of the warehouse system without interfering with the cargo robot 200.
By applying the embodiment of the application, the transfer robot 300 is allowed to pass when the material box 400 is borne by the first channel 121, the second channel 122, the third channel 123, the fourth channel 124 and the roadway 130, the movable path of the transfer robot 300 is increased, the avoidance among the transfer robots 300 is reduced, and the transfer robot 300 cannot interfere with the tally robot 200 when the first channel 121, the second channel 122, the third channel 123 or the fourth channel 124 runs, so that the picking and placing efficiency and the transferring efficiency of the transfer robot 300 are improved, and the picking and placing efficiency and the transferring efficiency of the whole warehousing system are improved.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, a plurality of horizontal rails 140 are provided on at least one shelf 100 on both sides of a roadway 130, and the plurality of horizontal rails 140 are disposed at intervals in a vertical direction.
The cargo robot 200 is hung on at least one shelf 100 on one side of the roadway 130 based on the horizontal rail 140, and can move along the horizontal rail 140 in the roadway 130.
The height from the bottom of the cargo robot 200 to the ground is greater than the lowest height of the carrying bin 400 of the transfer robot 300, so that the transfer robot 300 can move arbitrarily in the tunnel 130 while the carrying bin 400 moves.
Specifically, when the carrier box 400 of the carrier robot 300 travels in the tunnel 130 in the lowest height state, the height is lower than that of the cargo robot 200, and interference with the cargo robot 200 does not occur. By applying the embodiment of the application, the carrying robot 300 can not interfere with the tally robot 200 when the carrying box 400 runs in the robot docking space 120 or the roadway 130 in the lowest height state, so that the problem that the two robots need to avoid each other is solved, and the picking and placing efficiency and carrying efficiency of the warehouse system are improved.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, referring to fig. 4a, fig. 4a is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the transfer robot shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 to 4a, the transfer robot 300 includes a first moving chassis 310a, a first lifting mechanism 320a, and a first lifting platform 330a, which are sequentially disposed from bottom to top.
The bin docking layer 112 includes a plurality of docking storage locations 1121, where the plurality of docking storage locations 1121 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the roadway 130, and are used for docking with the cargo handling robot 200 or the transfer robot 300, and temporarily storing the bins 400 to be taken and placed.
A through slot 1123 is formed at the bottom of each docking storage 1121, and the through slot 1123 is perpendicular to the roadway 130, so that the first lifting mechanism 320a drives the first lifting platform 330a to pass through the through slot 1123, and the bin 400 is lifted or placed.
With the embodiment, the plurality of docking storage locations 1121 are disposed on the docking layer 112 for temporarily storing the bin 400, so that the plurality of transfer robots 300 can pick and place the bin 400 at the same time, so as to carry out the warehouse-out or warehouse-in operation of the bin 400, thereby improving the pick and place efficiency and the transfer efficiency of the warehouse system. The transfer robot 300 is able to pick and place the bin 400 at the bottom of the bin docking layer 112 by lifting the first lifting platform 330a through the through slot 1123.
Specifically, the first moving chassis 310a is disposed at the bottom of the handling robot 300, and is configured to drive the first lifting mechanism 320a and the first lifting platform 330a to move on the ground, and may include universal wheels to realize multi-directional movement, and the first lifting mechanism 320a and the first lifting platform 330a are disposed at the top of the first moving chassis 310 a.

The width dimension of the through slot 1123 is configured to be smaller than the dimension of the bin 400 and larger than the dimension of the first lift platform 330a, thereby enabling the first lift platform 330a to raise or lower the bin 400 through the through slot 1123 and also preventing the bin 400 from falling out of the through slot 1123.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the bin interfacing layers 112 of the first pallet 100A and the second pallet 100B are single deep laminates, which are disposed from the pallet 100 on one side of the roadway 130 toward the inside of the pallet 100, above the second channel 122 and the fourth channel 124, respectively.
Specifically, the shelf 100 may be a double deep shelf or a multi deep shelf, and accordingly, the width of the first channel 121 or the third channel 123 is greater than or equal to the width of the second channel 122 or the third channel 123. For the deep shelves, the width of the first channel 121 or the third channel 123 is larger than that of the second channel 122 or the fourth channel 124, and the first channel 121 or the third channel 123 can be divided into multiple channels for the transfer robot 300 to pass through, so that the pick-and-place efficiency and the transfer efficiency of the transfer robot 300 are further improved.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in the embodiment of the present application, the rack 100 is a double deep rack, and the cargo robot 200 is hung on the first rack 100A, so as to be able to pick and place the double deep bins 400 on the first rack 100A and the second rack 100B.
