Furthermore, the terms "first", "second" and "first" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means at least two, e.g., two, three, etc., unless specifically limited otherwise.

In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly stated or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "fixed" are to be construed broadly and may, for example, be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally formed; may be mechanically coupled, may be electrically coupled or may be in communication with each other; they may be directly connected or indirectly connected through intervening media, or they may be connected internally or in any other suitable relationship, unless expressly stated otherwise. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations by those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a cassette handling system, which comprises a cassette, a handling system, a Transfer apparatus (TFE), a load table, and a storage mechanism.

Wherein, transfer device and load platform are adjacent to be set up, and both are located storage mechanism's material mouth department. The transfer device is used for carrying the cassettes between the carrying system and the loading table. The storage mechanism comprises a storage position for storing the cassettes and a stacker. A stacker is used to carry cassettes between the load table and the magazine.

In this application, the load table includes a first load table and a second load table, and the transfer device includes a first transfer device and a second transfer device. The first load table and the first transfer device are adjacently arranged at the material port to form an inlet/outlet. The second load table and the second transfer device are adjacently arranged at the material port to form an outlet/inlet.

For example, the first transfer device may be provided as an inlet and the second transfer device as an outlet. In the case of warehousing, the first transfer device is caused to transport the cassettes from the handling system to the first load table, and the stacker transports the cassettes from the first load table to the storage location. At the time of delivery, the stacker transports the cassettes from the magazine to the second load table, and then the second transfer device transports the cassettes from the second load table to the transport system.

As an alternative to the same concept, it is also possible to provide the second transfer device as an inlet and the first transfer device as an outlet.

As a preferred embodiment, the cassette handling system of the present application has a first operating state and a second operating state:

in the first working state, the first transfer device is used as an inlet, the second transfer device is used as an outlet, the first transfer device carries the cassettes from the conveying system to the first load platform during carrying in, and the second transfer device carries the cassettes from the second load platform to the conveying system during carrying out;

in the second operating state, the first transfer device serves as an inlet and an outlet at the same time, and the first transfer device carries the cassette from the transport system to the first load table during the carrying-in and carries the cassette from the first load table to the transport system during the carrying-out.

The utility model provides a cassette handling system can switch import and export as required. Under normal conditions, the cassette handling system is in a first working state. In an emergency situation, such as an abnormality at the first transfer device or the second load table, or a need for maintenance, the cassette handling system may be switched to the second operating state.

The cassette handling system further comprises a control device for controlling switching between the first operating state and the second operating state. The control device can control the switching between the working states according to the manual input instruction/the pre-input instruction. The control device may also automatically control the switching between the operating states in response to the sensor detecting an abnormality in the transfer device/load table.

It will be appreciated that when switching to the second operating state, with the first transfer device acting as both an inlet and an outlet, it is also necessary to confirm before transport whether a cassette in the opposite direction to the transport direction is still being transported, and to wait for its transport to be completed, if any. Pressure type induction sensors are arranged on the load platform, the transfer device and the stacker, and when the cartridge is transmitted to the units, the pressure sensors are triggered due to gravity, so that load detection signals are obtained, and whether goods are transported or not is detected.

If the operation is only needed to be carried out in the first working state, the inlet and the outlet are respectively arranged, and the requirement can be met by arranging a Bar Code Reader (BCR): only a bar code reader needs to be provided at the first load table for reading the bar code on the cartridge.

According to the specific embodiment of the application, the bar code readers are respectively arranged on the first load platform and the second load platform, so that the bar code reader can normally work in the second working state, and the purpose of bidirectionally reading the bar code on the cassette is achieved.

The bar code reader may be disposed at a diagonal position relative to the load table to read the bar code on the cartridge, and it is understood that the specific position of the bar code reader on the load table is not limited thereto.

As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the handling system is in particular an overhead travelling crane handling system (OHS).

In one embodiment of the present application, the storage mechanism of the cassette handling system further comprises a roadway. The stacker moves in the roadway.

As shown in fig. 1, the first and second load tables are disposed at the left and right sides of the tunnel, respectively. The load platform is the horizontal platform of bearing cartridge, and the top includes the dog of limited cartridge position, and the dog generally is 4, sets up in the four corners of horizontal platform, and the cartridge puts the back above, and the cartridge bottom will the small square block screens, prevents that the cartridge from sliding.

The stacker comprises a first pick-and-place mechanism, and the movement direction of the first pick-and-place mechanism comprises the left side and the right side of the roadway. The first pick and place mechanism includes a skid or other retractable device. The stacker is also provided with a bar code reader.

Preferably, in order to further improve the spatial layout and make the layout more compact, the first transfer device and the first load table are arranged side by side, and the arrangement direction of the first transfer device and the first load table is parallel to the direction of the roadway. The second transfer device and the second load platform are arranged side by side, and the arrangement direction of the second transfer device and the second load platform is parallel to the direction of the roadway. The storage positions are also arranged along the left side and the right side of the roadway.

The transfer device also comprises a second pick-and-place mechanism and a second rotating mechanism. The second pick-and-place mechanism is used for carrying the cassette between the carrying system and the loading platform, and the second rotating mechanism is used for rotating the cassette to ensure that the direction of the cassette is correctly arranged. The second pick and place mechanism and the second rotation mechanism may be the same mechanism. For example, the transfer device is a motor-driven robot arm, and the robot arm can perform ascending and descending, clockwise and anticlockwise rotation, and arm extending and retracting actions under the control of a servo system.
